Narrative Concering Books The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie (Mackenzies & McBrides #1)
The year is 1881. Meet the Mackenzie family—rich, powerful, dangerous, eccentric. A lady couldn't be seen with them without ruin. Rumors surround them—of tragic violence, of their mistresses, of their dark appetites, of scandals that set England and Scotland abuzz.The youngest brother, Ian, known as the Mad Mackenzie, spent most of his young life in an asylum, and everyone agrees he is decidedly odd. He's also hard and handsome and has a penchant for Ming pottery and beautiful women.
Beth Ackerley, widow, has recently come into a fortune. She has decided that she wants no more drama in her life. She was raised in drama—an alcoholic father who drove them into the workhouse, a frail mother she had to nurse until her death, a fussy old lady she became constant companion to. No, she wants to take her money and find peace, to travel, to learn art, to sit back and fondly remember her brief but happy marriage to her late husband.
And then Ian Mackenzie decides he wants her.
The first of a new historical series.

★★★★★! Book 1 in the Highland Pleasures series. A gem. The most amazing, memorable and special hero, Lord Ian Mackenzie.I was not a GR member when I read all my historical romances. Thus I never wrote a review, only rated each book. Lord Ian Mackenzie (27 years/youngest son of a Duke/$$$/dark brown-auburn hair/amber eyes)Beth (29 years/widow/dark brown hair/blue eyes)Ian is on my list of top-100 heroes. For me he is unforgettable! Beth was wonderful - everything Ian needed. She not only settledIs this what love feels like? he whispered to her. I dont like it, my Beth. It hurts too much. This is one of the best books I've read. This is one of the best historicals I've read. This book has one of the best heroes I've ever read. This book has one of the best heroines I've read. This book has a fantastic story. This book has made me love two women. This book made me love four men. This book made me want to read five books at the same time. This book is in my heart and it will never go
When I picked this book up knowing that it featured a hero with Asperger's, I imagined the crux of the story would be about Beth and Ian learning to love each other despite his emotional detatchment. I didn't feel like I got that.There's no real discussion of how Ian and Beth came to love each other. I noticed they had great, wall-banging sex often, but that was the extent of the romance, it seems. There were few scenes that showed them interacting with their clothes on over something mundane.
5 Crazy in love Stars First read May 2nd 2015 Reread 8/14/2016 Re reread 6/24/2017*I love that no matter what mood I'm in or how many times I read this book I can pick it up and get lost in a beautiful love story!**Spoilers*When I saw you, I knew I had to take you away from him. He had no idea what you were worth, just like he cant price the damn bowls. Hes a philistine.Let me just say that with Historical Romances I either love em or I hate em. I loved this one so much! OMG it was so
4 StarsOverall Opinion: This was a super cute and enjoyable read! I enjoyed it, especially because of the H. I floved him! My heart broke for all that he went through and how misunderstood he was for his time. I also really appreciated how the h cared for him how he was, and never tried to change who he was. I would recommend this for anybody trying out the HR genre. I don't normally read the HR genre, but this has to be one of my favorites so far 😊Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Beth
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them...."

Wow! How can I rate a book more than five stars? Even after all the hype, this book still held up. I guess all I can do is put it on my all-time-favorites bookshelf. Lord Ian is intense and he leaped off the pages and into my arms. I wondered how Jennifer Ashley was going to present his POV, since he has Asperger syndrome, and at times it was almost as if it was written by someone else, the tone is so substantially different.Here is a scene, from the heroines POV, from early in the book when
