Publisher Description

The grandson of a Scottish clan laird, Duncan MacTavish is shocked to learn that his other grandfather was an English marquis whose title and London estate he is now required to take on. Worse still, he is engaged to a stranger who has mocked him in public. But his bride-to-be, Ophelia, has been guiding a lovely and witty, if dreadfully inexperienced, country girl named Sabrina through the latter's all-important first coming-out season. The enchanting Sabrina enthralls Duncan much more than his own intended does, and she shares his passionate feelings as well. But duty and circumstance—plus a scandal in Sabrina's family past—have made it impossible for her and the dashing highlander to be together…unless true love can somehow, miraculously, find a way.

"Duncan & Sabrina have a genuine relationship that makes sense!! They do not fall in love after just one brief meeting, nor is their relationship based on sex and attraction. I found myself rooting for Sabrina, hoping that Duncan would find a way to be with her. "

    " A large part of enjoying a novel or a movie for me is that I can identify, or at least empathise, with the main and secondary characters, and in 'The Heir', this was the case. The storyline is fairly typical of romance novels, but Lindsey writes well and makes her characters interesting. I also enjoyed the secondary characters in this one: Ophelia, Raphael, Duncan's grandfathers, Ophelia's sycophants. A nice read. "

    " Ok, it was pretty cheesy. And writing out the Scottish brogue gets a little old. But the characters were cute and the plot was amusing. "

    " This was an enjoyable book. It was a different type of book for Lindsey but had her familiar and enjoyable writing style. I was getting a bit worried because it seemed like it took a while for things to get going between Duncan and Sabrina, and Ophelia was annoying the heck out of me. That's why I put it down...for quite a while. An online reading buddy encouraged me to continue it and I am glad. It was a comedy of manners and dealt with the machinations of Duncan's grandfathers to get him married off so he could give them great-grandchildren and to see him settled. It also showed how silly society can be. The feted beauty Ophelia has the personality of an ugly crone, yet Sabrina, who is considered plain, is the nicest, sweetest, most interesting person you could know. Unfortunately her marriage prospects are nil because of family scandal (which is really silly when you read what the scandal is). I would not say this is the best Lindsey book, but it's a good one, and it won me over in the end. Read it when you want to read a book that's Austenesque but is written by Johanna Lindsey. "

    " It was a nice change this book the way they fell in love but it was way too slow and almost silly the problems they face. Nice entertainment but not the best book. Also I don't know why it is part of the REid family I guess for Ofelia) "

    " Meh, predictable. Something to read while my library requests came in. Kind of a nice break from something a little more meaty. The best part is talking in the Scottish brogue whilst 'no readin' :) "

    " i loved every detail in this book !! , i adore this passage: he did gather her in his arms, though to thankher for trying, and it was like heaven and hel for those few moments, savoring the feel of him, yet knowing it would ever be that close to him. "

    " Read this before reading "The Devil that Tamed Her" it will make more sense. The heir Duncan is suppose to marry Ophelia but falls hard for Sabrina. A sweet love story of friendship and discovering true love. Nice historical romance! "

    " My My...a story can twist and turn so much. literally as if just for the purpose of having a thick novel, the author put up so many obstacles in the way of the marriage between the main characters. "

    " This was mostly boring. "High schoolish" plot and no steam. Lindsey's Malory series is so good and the rest of her books are hit and miss (mostly miss) for me. I'm beginning to believe Lindsey has schizophrenia. "

    " Ehhhh romance was only okay. And since that's kind of the point of this type of book...not good. Also kind of irked me that people were constantly "bursting out laughing" at things that weren't that funny. "
