An Unsuitable Lady for a Lord by Cathleen Ross

Reviewed by Helen

This is a regency story with a difference, set in Scotland it is a journey to a beautiful HEA for the beautiful Lady Crystal Wilding and Lord Aaron Lyle these two are drawn together in the shared belief that people should be able to choose their life partners and their belief in helping people as well as a very sensual thread that draws them closer at every meeting.

Lord Aaron Lyle is being pressured into marriage by his father to benefit the family coffers, but Aaron is not happy with this situation he knows that one day he needs to marry and have an heir but he would at least like to be fond of the woman he marries, and then like a ray of sunshine he discovers the beautiful Lady Crystal with her innovative ideas about marriage and life and he knows that he must get to know her better.

Lady Crystal is determined that she will never be treated as her mother was and now she is in a position to look after herself she sets forth from the highlands to Edinburgh to do what she can to teach young woman to read and write and push her views on marriage and woman having a choice in what they do with their lives, at one of her first meetings she meets the handsome Lord Lyle when he comes to her rescue and even if marriage is not what she wants a desire to learn more about what happens between a man and a woman is always on her mind and Aaron would be who she would pick to teach her.

This is a great story well written and it shows the plight of woman back in the regency days, I loved Crystal what strength she showed but her caring nature is wonderful and Aaron what a hero, what a forward thinker of that era I loved how he supported Crystal, the passion that flared between them was sensual and steamy, I thoroughly enjoyed this one and I would highly recommend to anyone who loves a good regency tale, I have to mention the Dowager Duchess Sarah what a woman loved her very much. Woohoo well done MS Ross this is a keeper.
