A Love-Hate relationship romantic story

A continuation of the Lockhart trilogy, this book continues with the quest of the beastie which they need in order to save their estate. In this book, Griff goes in search of the beastie in London with not much more to go on other than the name of the friend the beastie was purchased for. Once in London Griff establish himself (mind you its a false identity) as a Lord and begins his search by going to all the balls looking for an Amelia. At one of the balls Griff bumps into Anna Addison, the daughter of a rich Lord and who's sister is one of the favorites of the season, their first encounter did not go so well and had Griff suspecting that Miss Addison knew about his false identity. Anna, although the older sister of Lucy (the favorite of the season) she had yet to marry due to her lack of charm and knowing the needs of a man, due to desperation not to be left behind, she makes a deal (or more like she blackmails Griff once she figured out who he was and what he was after) with Griff to give her lessons to win the hand of one of the reputable Lords (coincidentally one of Griff's cousins) in turn she would keep his secret and turn the beastie over to him. Although unable to stand each other at first, their love-hate relationship eventually turns into solid love and passion for each other as her lessons progressed until Griff could no longer bare to her to be with anyone but himself. The story in this (having read the first book) picks right up from where the last one left off, so you aren't left confused as to what went on in the meantime. Julia London does a good job of setting her characters up as well as putting obstacles in their way. Although this is a romance novel, I would not recommend it for those who like their sex scenes frequent as well as early on in the story, for it's not until the near the end of the book that things happen between Griff and Anna. It is a good light romance novel and sets up for the third in this series very well.

Great Read

I love the Lockhart trilogy, Grif and Anna are very funny together and Anna grows from a silly girl to a woman who understands what Grif and his family are suffering.

LOCKHART FAMILY TRILOGY

Julia London has a true talent for making you literally feel the emotions of her characters. I shed tears, my heart ached and I felt overwhelming happiness in the end. I'm determined to read all of her books!

Delightful!

I liked this story verra verra much! I tried to read the previous book, Highlander Unbound, but i couldn't get into it atall. Read the back cover of this book and it sounded intriguing. I liked both of the main characters, Griff & Anna, very much. He, a yummy hero and she, no simpering miss. They rubbed each other the wrong way at first & it made for some wonderful tension within the story. This story was no way predictible & I liked it very much for that reason.The sparring and the wit between them was great too,and the wit with his "valet" was hilarious too! lots of good humor which made me laugh out loud quite a few times! (Not an easy thing for me to do). Very well thought out plot. Can't wait for the next installment.Take a chance and read it. You will enjoy!

A pleasant surprise!

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I hadn't read the previous Highlander book (don't like heroines who have kids, shame on me) so when I picked Highlander in Disguise, I was pleasantly surprised. It was a very fast read. I couldn't put it down. Grif, the hero, is yummy. I loved him. He was the prototypical hero--manly, but not overly so. Anna, the heroine, was good too. I have found that in my favorite romances, the hero is usually the one that makes it a keeper for me. The girl has to be good, too, but it's the guy who decides it. Grif did--big time. He was great. Anna was okay. I liked her, and when she did start to veer off into "I don't think I'm going to like her" territory, London would have her do something that got her back on track for me. I ended up liking her. And the verbal exchanges between Anna and Grif were hilarious. I laughed out loud more than once. The interplay between Grif and his "valet" were enjoyable also. In short, I really liked this book. I know I will be reading it again, especially before the next book in the series comes out. It features Grif's sister and it looks like a good one, too.
