I enjoyed this much more than I expected to. There were some pretty dubious elements to start with - spirited, red-haired heroine (oy!), cross-country adventures, a dumb mystery plot. But the hero and heroine are likable and the class issues separating them are quite interesting; she herself has never fit into society, because her father is a tradesman, yet she automatically looks down on him because he's Irish. The language doesn't always feel authentic, but the unthinking prejudices the chara More...

A romance novel surrounding a spoiled runaway Scottish Heiress and the rough Irishman who has been sent to bring her back to England. Typical personality and socioeconomic match-up, but one we all love to see again and again.

I did enjoy this book. Enough that I waited the three weeks to get it back from the library again sicnce someone else had it on hold. Most romance novels get an automatic three star rating from me. Enjoyable, but not mind blowing and this book follows suit wi More...

This was a little different from most "ton" books as it never touches upon any of their events. It's mainly about a girl who runs away to avoid a love-less match and the Irishman her merchant father sends to find her. Who doesn't like a book about an Irish hero and runaway Heiress set in Scotland? haha.

On okay little romance book, full of Scottish and Irish heros and villians and of course the English.

For me it was okay, a nice break from intense mysterys.

The Hunter of the Fleeing Heiress proves to be a lovely fellow and very helpful to the heroine -- nicely done by Cathy Maxwell.

Not the best ever, and I don't really understand the motive behind the "reveal" at the end, but decent.

Perfectly standard romantic adventure. Very pleased that I seem to have mastered how to borrow an ebook from the public library.

I liked Lyssa a lot because she wasn't a stupid heiress. She may have been inexperienced but she understood things that many withers make their heroines act ridiculously dumb about. And Ian was a well written love interest. When they realized their feelings for eachother they accepted them, they didn't sit there like idiots wondering what it was they were feeling. Very enjoyable.

I enjoyed the last 3rd of the book but to get to that point was just boring.
