An Improper Wife has it all: action, adventure, and romance.

The setting is Newcastle, England, 1798. Lady Caroline Wilmont is due to
marry Taran Robertson, Viscount of Blackhall, the very next day and
become Viscountess of Blackhall. But this night she is Aphrodite,
attending a Masque for a last chance at feeling any kind of passion
before entering her passionless and loveless marriage to Taran. While
fleeing to the gardens of the estate, Caroline meets the "kilted god"
and he shows her a night of passion she'll never forget. But as the
night winds down and it's time to part ways, Caroline recognizes the
eyes of the "kilted god" as those of her soon-to-be husband. Now
Caroline needs to deceive her husband into believing her to be the
proper wife she's expected to be, not the passionate lover her had in
Aphrodite at the Masque.



Taran Robertson has not hidden his resentment in being forced to marry
is deceased brother's fiancee. During his last night of freedom, he
attends a Masque at his friend's urging. The woman he meets in the
gardens dressed as Aphrodite is a mix of "innocence and sin, Heaven and
sweet Hell," and manages to bring him to his knees. But his Aphrodite
has secrets. And as Taran is returning home to Strathmore with his new
wife, Aphrodite's secrets hint that his wife may not be as proper as she
seems. But who ever said that he wanted a proper wife?



I loved Caroline as the heroine. She's strong, opinionated, and
stubborn. She stands up for what she believes in and doesn't back down
from confrontation. And at the risk of losing everything, she tries to
take her future into her own hands. That's what the night at the Masque
is all about.



I was glad that Taran turned out to be the exact opposite of what
Caroline thought him to be. I really liked how he would do pretty much
anything for his family. And let's not forget that he's a gorgeous
Scottish man with a delicious accent and wears a kilt. I mean, there's
just something really hot about a man in a kilt. I'm sure you can all
agree



I really enjoyed Caroline's antics to get out of the marriage. My
favorite was her black mourning clothes at her wedding. That was just
too funny and took a lot of guts.



And the mystery surrounding Caroline's family and her father's death add a little something extra to this romance story.



An Improper Wife has it all: action (both in and out of the bed),
adventure, and romance. I would read this book again in a heartbeat!
