But losing her husband after less than two years of marriage and, pivotally, not being able to have his children broke Merritt’s heart. Social differences notwithstanding, Merritt and Keir are kindred spirits: practical, grounded, and kind, they grew up well loved and loving. Complicating their budding relationship are a series of increasingly dangerous calamities, from broken casks, to a stabbing, to a warehouse “blown to smithereens”-all pieces of a deadly mystery to which a popular member of the Wallflowers family holds the key. Merritt is far above Keir’s touch, and Keir, from the remote Scottish island of Islay, dislikes city life and English society. Both are surprised to find themselves so strongly and immediately drawn to someone so different. Lady Merritt Sterling, a strong-willed young widow whos running her late husbands shipping. Three years after Lady Merritt Sterling’s husband’s death left her in charge of his shipping firm, a costly accident brings the bold, magnetic businesswoman-eldest daughter of an American heiress and the Earl of Westcliff-into close contact with client Keir MacRae, a strikingly handsome, rough-hewn whisky distiller. Perfect for fans of Sarah MacLean, Julia Quinn and Eloisa James. Kleypas continues her winning streak with a thoroughly engrossing crossover between her Regency Wallflowers series and Victorian Ravenels novels.

While ambition is not a bad thing on its own, the work then needs to support and answer it adequately, which is not happening here. Well, Lem this book is certainly not! It is too pretentious for that. In other words, overall, I found this book rather vacuous and cold, designed to appeal to a clientele of literary critics and prizes rather than written with heart and humanity that always informed the classic works of authors like Stanislav Lem and brothers Strugatsky that critics referenced in reviewing this drivel of a book.
