I thoroughly enjoyed this first book in the Blackthorn Brothers trilogy. It could very well be one of my Top Ten of all time reads. Quirky, lovable characters. Laugh-out-loud moments. Lively pace.

To escape from an arranged marriage to a 'wet-lipped' reverend who is bent on straightening her out, our spirited heroine Lady Chelsea proposes a Gretna Green marriage to Beau (a wealthy, gentleman bastard) who she knows is secretly wreaking havoc on her Earl brother's finances for a past wrong. Beau asks himself what better way to get sweet revenge than by marrying the Earl's sister against his consent? (Beau is also a good guy who can't possible allow this beautiful young lady to be forced into a marriage against her will, even if she is his sworn enemy's sister.) The story is their run for the Scotland border with her brother and the reverend fiance hot on their trail to stop them.

This is the best book of the trilogy. Book 2 was okay, Book 3 was awful (read my review). Just so you know and aren't disappointed when they don't live up to your raised expectations after reading this one which in my opinion was outstanding. Just sayin'.
