Yes you guessed it right! This book of Mcnaught was not very impressive.
As it was one of the '19Th century Britain' based writing of hers and as it contained the widely appreciated characters of her book- 'something wonderful'- the readers were obviously expecting more..but alas it was a disappointment!
Elizabeth Cameron's undeserving fate,her barbaric uncle tries to marry her off with any other hardly acceptable bachelor eligible or not, after her half brother disappears suddenly leaving Elizabeth half drowned in his debts.2years earlier,Elizabeth, a ravishing young beauty had a very successful debut and also got offers from most eligible suitors of England but her reputation got destroyed as soon as her name got linked with Ian Thornton.Unable to accept this, her half brother Robert tries to kill Ian and after being humiliated continuously,flees.
Due to some flaws by his secretary,Ian suddenly finds himself serving Elizabeth as a house guest when she appears at his door step at his Scot home, claiming Ian to be her agreeable suitor.This is were the romance actually starts off,at least from Elizabeth's side. Then before you can settle with this idea,or even before Elizabeth falls in love with Ian,they are married!Here starts Mcnaught's famous and obvious twists,we find that Ian was the reason for Robert's disappearance.
As expected the story ends happily,ever after.
It might not be that bad as i am claiming it to be,it could just be me who is extremely tired of the same kind of plot and the same sorts of heroes and heroines of Mcnaught's books.
