Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  bschweiger | Feb 4, 2024 |    ) Tess_W | Jun 13, 2023 | This book was a bit slower than the first, relying more on character development than adventure. It's still a good read as both Beth and Anthony struggle through the getting-to-know-you parts at the beginning of any relationship. One thing I'm not fond of with Beth's behavior is her reliance on slapping someone when she's in a temper. Alex and Angus indulge in fisticuffs, something I can understand as brothers and Highlanders, but Beth was brought up a lady. I get she knows how to use a knife, but the slapping seems out of character and unnecessary since it seems to be her go-to gesture. The historical parts are well written and interesting. The book gives a lot of background on the events leading up to 1745/46. The secondary characters are also well done and definitely add to the story. And on to the next book in the series.

The second in the fascinating series about the lives of the beautiful Beth Cunningham, her family and friends. Britain moves ever closer to the 1745 rebellion and the impending attempt to restore the Stuarts to the British throne. With no other options available to her, Beth marries the effete and tedious social butterfly Sir Anthony Peters. She resigns herself to a future of formal parties and dismal social gatherings, whilst accompanying a husband who is both tiresome and physically repellent to her, but consoles herself with the thought that if she is not to know love, then at least she will have a secure and comfortable life. It may be uneventful, but she will be free of her brother.The ink on the marriage contract is hardly dry, however, when Beth makes a shocking discovery, one that turns her world upside down and throws her whole future into doubt once more. Almost immediately she must make a decision. Will she opt for the safe but dreary life her husband wishes her to lead, or will she fight for a life of passion, adventure and excitement, knowing that in doing so, she risks not only her own life, but the lives of those she loves?

Historical fiction fans will enjoy this second installment of The Jacobite Chronicles. Set in England and continental Europe in the 1740s just before the Jacobite uprising, this story is rich with dimensional characters and social commentary. (
