Five minutes into Miss Eugenia Talbot's presentation at court, notorious rogue Mr. William Grant made her laugh, ruining her debut. To hush up the scandal, Eugenia's aunt hires a matchmaker to quickly find a suitor— anyone except the infamous William Grant—to help restore Eugenia's reputation. 

But amiable Eugenia shows a disturbing tendency to follow her heart, and is again caught in the company of notorious Grant. When a traitor creeps closer, threatening to ruin more than just Eugenia's reputation, her kindheartedness may be her ultimate undoing...

My Thoughts

Delightful!

Genie all ever wanted was to have a decent debut but all thank's to William, her debut was embarrassing and scandalous that now she needs to find a husband to salvage her reputation. She is being pressured by her aunt and  the dowager of duchess, but Genie is only interested in one man.. the one who made her giggle.. the man who is considered unsuitable for her...

Grant is a rake and been trying to avoid matrimonial for years. He's attracted to Genie but doesn't pursue it as he doesn't want to be tied down into marriage. But once she met a decent man, it didn't sit well for Grant.  

I have to admit there were too much characters in the story, but all of them are so witty and fun I couldn't help to like the book. The main characters are likeable, Genie is an okay heroine.. but Grant is an interesting character. He's quite different from the other historical heroes I've been reading lately. He likes colorful attires which is quite refreshing for a hero. lol!

This is my first book from this author, A Wedding in Springtime is surprisingly refreshing and delightful to read! It's a great start for a new series.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

About the Author

Amanda Forester holds a PhD in clinical psychology and a Masters degree in theology. As a psychologist, she has worked as a clinical researcher and a university instructor (what they call you when they don’t want to give you tenure). None of which has anything to do with writing romance novels. After trying for many years to stop the internal storylines floating around her head, she finally gave up and wrote one down. Now when she is caught daydreaming and talking to herself she can just say, “I’m plotting a scene for my next novel,” which sounds so much better than, “I’m hallucinating and responding to internal stimuli.”

Amanda lives in the Pacific Northwest with her officer and a gentleman husband and their two remarkably active, naturally brilliant children. They share their home with two fiendishly destructive cats and one lazy dog.

The Highlander’s Series represents Amanda's first venture into writing historical fiction, so she would greatly enjoy hearing from readers.
