Review: The Many Sins of Lord Cameron by Jennifer Ashley

The Many Sins of Lord Cameron (Highland Pleasures #3)

by Jennifer Ashley

Historical Romance

The Mackenzies, what a delectable and decandent treat! They are like a box of chocolates full of your favourite flavours how the hell are you supposed to pick!? You have the nutty Ian Mackenezie, the silky smooth Mac Mackenzie and now the dark chocolate treat that is Cam Mackenzie, I say dark chocolate one, because it is my favourite and two because like dark choclate Cam is slightly bitter. And frankly who can blame him? Like some of the best heroes he has a tortured past, when he was young he impulsively married, not realizing until too late that his wife was completely mad (shades of Jane Eyre in this book, but don't worry, she isn't hiding in the attic!) and she preceded to make Cam's life miserable until she died under some rather suspicious circumstances.

As you can tell I completely loved Cam, I always liked him in the previous books and this one he managed to exceed my expectations. He was a little rough, he liked horses, drink and women, exactly in that order, but you know he is a good man by the way he treats his brothers and how he's tried bumbling through being a parent to his son Daniel. What was fantastic was watching him soften a little as Ainsley becomes important in his life, he doesn't become all gooey but he definitely melts a little.

Ainsley, I liked her, like all the heroines in this series so far she isn't some blushing debutante but a grown woman who knows her own mind and knows what she wants. That is another thing I like about this series the heroines seem more like real women with pasts and inseurities of their own that make them stand out a little more in this genre.

Now to the SEX factor, they were hot together, the chemitry between them was fantastic you could feel the heat and the longing as you read it and it may be wise to carry around a fan with you whilst reading it because it is knicker changingly good.

So, Lord Cameron Mackenzie is my flavour of the month, I recommend you all get your teeth in to him!

My Favourite Quote:

"I don't want to be friends with you, Ainsley Douglas. I want to be your lover. I want to bury myself inside you. I want to find out whether you taste as good all the way down, I want to feel you squeezing me, and I want to hear your cries as you take me inside you."

My Next Flavour of the Month Hart Mackenzie

"Hart wants to win by proving he's right-about everything- not with tittle-tattle and bedroom gossip. Hart wants to be God Almighty. No, he already thinks he's God Almighty. Now he wants to prove it to everyone else."

Reviews: Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage by Jennifer Ashley

Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage (Highland Pleasures #2)

by Jennifer Ashley

Historical Romance

I LOVED Ian MacKenzie so I was a little sceptical about reading about Mac and Isabella. Don’t get me wrong, I found them both likeable characters but after starting off with such a great book, I was honestly expecting something less than spectacular for this one. After all, I’m not usually a fan of rekindled romances.

The reason being that is that half of the romance has been told before the actual book. Therefore, we only get glimpses here and there of their past love and the writer has to work extra hard to establish that yearning and that spark in a shorter amount of time.

But with Lady Isabella’s Scandalous Marriage, I found that Ashley did a pretty good job of getting that constant yearning and distress onto the page. I liked that she added the not-so-happy scenes where they yelled the house down during their marriage and Mac’s careless drunkenness. It briefly showcased their problems that showed why they separated in the first place. I could see her efforts to try to get those feelings across but I didn’t always feel it.

In comparison to Ian’s book, I thought Mac’s book was equal in its goodness, if not more. Ashley really heats things up in Mac’s book! I don’t recall Ian’s love scenes to be this steamy. That scones and cream scene?? Yeah, totally unexpected but very,very HOT!!!

The only thing I wish there was more of is....I can’t believe I’m saying this but, WHERE’S INSPECTOR FELLOWS?! He makes a few appearances but after the first book and the whole reveal at the end, I thought he would play a much larger part in the storyline.

I love this series and this book was an easy one to devour. Mac is so tempting in those Mackenzie kilts! Paired with that wicked smile and his charm, there is no reason why Isabella wouldn’t find herself falling hard for her husband again.

My advice? PICK.THIS.BOOK.UP!! I can’t wait for Cam’s book!

Favourite Quote:

"I loved and adored you, but I drained you like a thirsty man at a spring. I loved what you could give me - your admiration, your acceptance, your love, your forgiveness. I forgot to love you for yourself."
