4.75 stars - I'm only two books in, but I think I've found a new favorite historical romance author.

A little underwhelming after "The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie." Just felt disjointed.

I liked it.
Isabella is an extremely attractive wife. She lives on her own, she has fabulous parties, she's married to a handsome painter whom she never speaks to and loves children. What's not to love about her?
Mac is a handsome, passionate, kind and a little flawed painter. He's married to the most wonderful woman and yet can't have her. He's forced her away, and really doesn't blame her for leaving--if only she'd give him another chance.
The chance is given when a mysterious painting almost identical to Mac's is spotted at one of Isabella's dinner parties. Baffled by this she returns to visit Mac and question him about the painting.
From there you go through highs and lows, laughs and sadness as you hear of their story and the bonds that bring them back together.
I love the family dynamic of the Mackenzie's, it truly brought the book in a full circle.

Love the pining and smut but this book is painfully repetitive.

I liked this book very much. The author handled the plot very well. The romance was realistic. The leads were not flawless. The characters were well developed. It was different from other books I have read and a very welcome one.

The ‘second chance romance’ is one of my least favorite tropes, but for what this was it was a solid read. The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie was one of my favorite books I read last year and I loved getting to see more of Ian, Beth, and the other Mackenzie brothers. Can’t wait to continue on with the series!
