Daniel Mackenzie lives up to the reputation of the scandalous Mackenzie family—he has wealth, looks, and talent, and women love him. When he meets Violet Bastien—one of the most famous spiritual mediums in England—he immediately knows two things: that Miss Bastien is a fraud, and that he’s wildly attracted to her.
Violet knows she can’t really contact the other side, but she’s excellent at reading people. She discerns quickly that Daniel is intelligent and dangerous to her reputation, but she also finds him generous, handsome, and outrageously wicked. But spectres from Violet’s past threaten to destroy her, and she flees England, adopting yet another identity.
Daniel is determined to find the elusive Violet and pursue the passion he feels for her. And though Violet knows that her scandalous past will keep her from proper marriage, her attraction to Daniel is irresistible. It’s not until Daniel is the only one she can turn to that he proves he believes in something more than cold facts. He believes in love.

This wasn't really my favourite one in the series. It really didn't do for me that much. It was good, though. I thought the beginning was dragging on a little and it wasn't that interesting to read, but it definitely got better.
I liked Daniel. He's reckless, he doesn't care about reputation and what other people thought of him. He's incredibly intelligent and he treats Violet with nothing but respect, even though others don't.
And Violet is a strong-minded and brave woman who is not afraid of a challenge. She accepts Daniel's adventures because she knows he's always going to show her things no one else can. She's extremely smart and that's Daniel's "excuse" to talk to her and hang out with her. Besides the fact that he found her very attractive.
Like all the previous books in this series, this one is different from the other historical romances and that's why I like this author and this series. The Mackenzies are men you just have to love. They're all different and unique in their own way, but what they all have in common is their charm. Especially the characters. I love that they're flawed and imperfect and, even though they're wearing respectful titles, they have their own flaws and aren't perfect.
Overall, this book wasn't terrible or bad. It was a nice read, funny at some moments, serious at others. It was a mix of everything.
Would I recommend this book? Yes if you're looking for something easy and laid-back. I would definitely recommend this series, though.
