THIS BOOK IS FREAKEN AMAZING!!! AMAZING!

After being swept off my feet with Ian & Beth's story in the first book in the series, my main worry in continuing with the series was that I didn't have a vacation lined up to do some serious marathon reading/listening. However, the second book in the series was a complete disappointment even though I really like Mac & Isabella. Jennifer Ashley really messed up with the second book in my humble opinion and all that did for me was linger and hesitate to read the rest of the series. UGH!!! I LOST SO MUCH TIME!!! Why?---Because "The Many Sins of Lord Cameron" was freaken amazing!!

Let me break it down:

I. A Romance to Savor:
This is a book that I would put in the category of "an author's gift to readers" lol. The reason being that this book delivered at every step of the burgeoning romance between Cameron MacKenzie and Ainsley Douglas.

Now, this couple eased into their romance. First, when Cameron and Ainsley met she was married & refused to cheat on her elderly husband even though there was this crazy-amazing connection between the both of them (ultimately, this was good because Cameron really respected her for it). The second part of "taking it slow" came through the courtship-era...lol..not sure what to refer to it as..um their "getting to know each other stage?" However, there was nothing SLOW about their sumptuous rendezvous that were STEAMY & just fabulous. Why?-- Because there were so many combustible moments between the two...just a few come to mind: wrestling in Cameron's bed, unbuttoning buttons in the woods, stolen kisses and touches in the study, the billiards' room....and that was just in the very beginning! As the story progressed so did the HOT romance. In fact, the romance maintained the main focal point of the book (I know that should be expected, but that doesn't always happen in novels when authors decide to write sloppy).

II. Sweet Moments between other MacKenzie couples:

If you love the MacKenzie clan than this book is going to spoil you! Especially, if you love Ian MacKenzie....

~Loved where Mac surrounded Isabella with kisses and put his hands on her pregnant belly from their second child.

~OMG, there is this scene where Cameron is talking to Ian and Ian walks away without finishing the conversation (typical autism behavior) because he is pulled to Beth whom Cameron describes as Ian's "anchor" and the "conduit" in which Ian is able to understand the joys of life (this was because Beth was radiantly smiling as she enjoyed the fireworks).

~Ian and the honey jar....LOL. I can't say more..that scene was just a treat as Ian ushered Beth out of the dinning room as the complete MacKenzie family were eating breakfast. Haha...LOVE it!

~OK, I had not warmed up to Hart MacKenzie, but this book won me over to him. There is more information about how much Hart has fought and sacrificed and is ALWAYS there for his brothers & family. But, the scene that almost made me topple over in my chair was between Hart MacKenzie and Lady Eleanor Ramsay in the train....whoa, that was just lovely....lovely indeed.

~Ok, Beth Mackenzie is still pretty powerful in my view. There is this part where Ainsley is summoned by the queen & leaves abruptly. She wasn't able to say goodbye in person to Cameron and right before he has a panic attack (well, at least it seemed like he was going to have a panic attack...LOL), Beth gives him the most powerful, soothing words ever..and it completely calms him and feeds his hope and trust in his relationship with Ainsley.

III. Marriage is Just the Beginning

What I really liked and enjoyed was how the story did not end when Cameron and Ainsley got married. They really had to work things out. On a huge positive note, they were able to finally love without restraint...which equals wonderful love scenes. I liked how Cameron gave Ainsley cute nicknames like, "mouse, ferret, devil woman, & vixen." Believe me...in context they are so cute!

Ok, what really made Cameron and Ainsley's story absolutely amazing is the complexity of their persons. Jennifer Ashley really knows how to write characters/leads in which there is a reason for the madness and the connection to a soulmate. Ainsley completes Cameron because she is what he needs due to his traumatic first marriage and fears that he carried into their relationship. Cameron is all the man that Ainsley needs as well. Also, I have to say that I loved the horse Jasmine. And, the ending of the book was perfect. I loved how Ainsley made a way for all of Cameron's dreams to come true (yes, even the unspoken ones).

NARRATOR: Angela Dawe is a perfect narrator for the series. I don't know what people are thinking when they have given her unfavorable reviews. She has created the most sultry, deep masculine voices with a twinge of Scottish accent (because after all these men are English too...or at least educated & immersed in British society). Also, I really like the female voices she creates for each of the characters.

So much more then a romance

The stories about the Mackenzie family is touching, and sad and triumphant. Jennifer Ashley has done an amazing job with this series.

GREAT SERIES!

Loved Lord Cameron!!!

Great story, hot love scenes and lots of falling in love. I love bad-boy main characters! Falling in love after swearing never to remarry. Those Highlanders steal my heart every time. Great story...

this series us so addictive!!

I love this series. 3 books down and 1 to go.
love it! extra steamy and luxurious

A decadent treat!

Jennifer Ashley has written such an amazing series. Each book has been very different but all of them very well written. The first book in the series The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie was one of the best books I've ever read in my life and made me fall in love with Ian. I was sure no other book could come close to that one. The second book was just ok. But then I listened to this one and I fell in love all over again. This time with Cameron. I had an impression he was a selfish ass who did not care for his son and only lived for his carnal pleasures. Well I was wrong. Very very wrong. Cameron didn't really have that many sins. He was just a very hurt, betrayed and traumatized man. And I love his journey and his change. Ainsley put the pieces of his heart back together little by little. And she was such a good woman. Just an honest, lovable, good woman.

I loved every character on this story. I loved how romantic and sizzling hot the main relationship was. I loved how the other couples were incorporated into the story and to know how they are doing. I loved how the next story was introduced (Hart and Eleanor). I loved the freaking horse Jasmine. I loved Cam's son Daniel. I even loved Angelo the gypsie. Yeah, I pretty much loved every second of this story.

Narration: Angela Dawe did a great job with the story. I gave up trying to hear a british or Scottish accent but other than that the narration was passionate, intense and nearly perfect. Worth a credit? Abso-freaking-lutly!!!

So romantic

The Mackenzies are my favorite family behind the Malory's!!! Jennifer Ashley never disappoints and Angela Dawe gives the story great life with her voice tones and smooth reading!

Well worth a credit!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, if the friend is interested in historical romance novels.

What did you like best about this story?

I really enjoyed the character of Ian. I would like to know what the disability the author was referring to.
The romance between Ian and Beth was so charming.

What does Angela Dawe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I loved Angela Dawe's reading of this novel. Not sure if I would have enjoyed the book nearly as much without her narration.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Ian and Beth - romance of the century!
