The Highlander's Excellent Adventure by Shana Galen

She’ll take the coach from the posting house and go to her paternal grandmother who lives in the far north of England. She’s brash, outspoken, intelligent, adventurous, Rubenesque, and men just don’t seem to want that in a potential bride. What is he to do with her? OH! My! Goodness!Įmmeline Wellesley, the oldest of five siblings, has suffered through one too many seasons and she’s just tired of it. When he is well outside London, he finds a stowaway inside his carriage – and she doesn’t speak English. Now, he’s headed back to the highlands to let her know he’s failed. However, his trip has been unsuccessful because all of the English women run at the sight of a huge Highlander. He doesn’t want an English wife, but his mother, Lady Charlotte, has ordered him to find one – and he owes it to her to do as she asks. OH! My! Goodness!ĭuncan Murray, a Scotsman, a war hero, a survivor from Draven’s expendable troop, is in London to find an English wife. She’ll just sneak out of the coach once he gives up waiting for her – no harm, no foul – right? Except, it isn’t his coach – and she falls asleep – and she is well out of town before she realizes she’s run away without meaning to do so. Sneaking outside, she intends to hide until he gives up and leaves – and what better place to hide than in his coach. Podmore is due for a visit, she decides to do all she can to avoid him. Ines finds the man an utter bore and takes every opportunity to avoid him. But then, I guess we wouldn’t have a story if she did that.Ĭatarina is encouraging a match between Ines and Mr. I have to say this part surprises me because I thought Catarina, given her history, would be very understanding about that sort of thing and would let Ines set her own pace and make her own choices. Catarina is now trying to pair Ines up with men that Ines finds totally unacceptable. We met Ines Neves in The Claiming of the Shrew when her sister Catarina found her HEA with Lieutenant Colonel Benedict Draven. You get each person’s individual perspective.

One of my favorite parts is that the story is told by all four of the main characters.

I think it is one of my favorites of the Survivors series. What isn’t to love? It is fast-paced, well-written, and well-plotted. I LOVED that we got two great romances and two great HEA’s in one book. OMGoodness – what a fun romp this was! I loved the characters.
