As a captain in the army, Colin MacHugh led men, fixed what was broken, and fought hard. Now that he's a titled gentleman, he's still fighting — this time to keep his bachelorhood safe from all the marriage-minded debutantes. Then he meets the intriguing Miss Anwen Windham, whose demure nature masks a bonfire waiting to roar to life. When she asks for his help to raise money for the local orphanage, he's happy to oblige.
Anwen is amazed at how quickly Lord Colin takes in hand a pack of rambunctious orphan boys. Amazed at how he actually listens to her ideas. Amazed at the thrill she gets from the rumble of his Scottish burr and the heat of his touch. But not everyone enjoys the success of an upstart. And Colin has enemies who will stop at nothing to ruin him and anybody he holds dear.

Burrowes’s second Windham Brides historical (after The Trouble with Dukes) isn’t quite Pride and Prejudice, but her bold riff on Jane Austen’s famous opening line declares her intent to come close, and she certainly has the pitch just right for a humorous Regency-era novel. Miss Anwen Windham, an Englishwoman who is fiercely protective of those she loves, and Lord Colin MacHugh, a wealthy Scottish distillery owner who’s a fish out of water in London, are both do-gooders whose current project is trying to save the House of Wayward Urchins and its incorrigible occupants. Anwen’s uncle’s sly matchmaking is all the funnier for its subtlety, and Burrowes cleverly hides clues in plain sight that indicate Colin’s mentor will become his enemy. But the romance lacks emotional friction between the leads, and no amount of purple prose about Anwen’s pink flesh can make up for its absence. -
This second book in the Windham Brides series follows the story of Anwen Windham and Colin MacHugh, an Irish lord. Narrator James Langton does an admirable job delivering the voice of the Scotsman MacHugh as he takes his place in English society and romances Anwen. Langton's deep, commanding voice serves as the perfect backdrop to the developing romance. His portrayals of Anwen and the other female characters are less convincing. In particular, the vivacious and headstrong heroine sounds breathy and dreamy rather than the strong and determined woman she is. As Anwen and Lord MacHugh grow closer, they're drawn into mystery and intrigue. Listeners will be eagerly awaiting the next entry in this series. E.N. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine -

As Burrowes continues her Windham Brides series, following The Trouble with Dukes (2016), Anwen Windham is volunteering at a boys' orphanage and cares passionately for her charges. She knows operating funds are dwindling and wishes she could convince the wealthy board members to contribute. Colin MacHugh is eager to spend more time with the fiery redhead, the sister of his brother Hamish's bride. He helps corral the boys and redirect their energies when they want to return to being thieves on the streets, and even though he runs into all kinds of trouble, he attempts to both raise funds and court Anwen. The talented Burrowes creates a smart, appealing couple in another of her socially conscious, splendidly sexy romances.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
