New York Times and USA Today Bestseller
On the cusp of her first London season, Miss Madeline Gracechurch was shy, pretty, and talented with a drawing pencil, but hopelessly awkward with gentlemen. She was certain to be a dismal failure on the London marriage mart. So Maddie did what generations of shy, awkward young ladies have done: she invented a sweetheart.
A Scottish sweetheart. One who was handsome and honorable and devoted to her, but conveniently never around. Maddie poured her heart into writing the imaginary Captain MacKenzie letter after letter . . . and by pretending to be devastated when he was (not really) killed in battle, she managed to avoid the pressures of London society entirely.
Until years later, when this kilted Highland lover of her imaginings shows up in the flesh. The real Captain Logan MacKenzie arrives on her doorstep—handsome as anything, but not entirely honorable. He's wounded, jaded, in possession of her letters . . . and ready to make good on every promise Maddie never expected to keep.

Leuk verhaal, origineel. Moest even wennen aan de manier van voorlezen.

A different narrator would have made this a much better experience. The concept is nice, but it saddens me it doesn't play out in high society. Which would have given ample opportunities for hilarity and misunderstanding, also more plot drive.It gets really boring, the setting, their chemistry and anything pushing the plot. If not boring it's cringy, campy and too unlikely. A high society setting would have changed that, or maybe this narrator would have made that a boring sit too.However, the narrator isn't the reason why 80% that happens in the book doesn't matter and 10% is confusingly unnecessary, as if the author had a page or word minimum they had to fill. I'm really unsure how people found this so funny, besides a few little moments it's light hearted at best.

I like the story, but the reader is annoying. She reads nearly every sentence with the same intonation.

Wat een hilarisch (tranen over m’n wangen van het lachen) en romantisch verhaal. Heel erg leuk geschreven, goed voorgelezen. Ik ga zeker nog een boek van haar luisteren!
