The Mackenzie Regent (The Sinclair Jewels #2) by Caroline Lee. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To


Four years ago, Jamie Mackenzie lost everything - the woman he loved, the use of his hands, and his honor. 

Book 2 in the Mysterious "Sinclair Jewels" series is now available! Read for Free with Kindle Unlimited! 

Alcohol became the only thing which offered solace to Jamie and he was satisfied to drink himself into an early grave… until his older brother died, leaving his clan without a leader, and his young nephew Callan without a regent. Reluctantly, Jamie steps into the role, little realizing it would include a marriage contract. 

Her mission is returning her clan’s honor. 

A year ago, Agata, the oldest of the Sinclair jewels, thought herself satisfied. She was married to a cruel man, but at least he—as the Mackenzie laird—had given her a precious stepson Callan and hope for future children. Now widowed and returned to her clan, Agata has given up on her dream of a family until she finds a new mission with her sisters: finding and restoring the ancient Sinclair jewels. 

Stolen generations ago from the brooch which marked the Sinclair lairds’ power, these jewels are more myth than reality, even to the Sinclair sisters who were named after the stones. When they find evidence the stones are hidden in the Mackenzie holding, Agata jumps at the chance to see little Callan again. But her mission conflicts with her personal dream when she discovers she's been contracted to marry the lad’s drunken uncle. 

Is Jamie as cruel as his brother? Can Agata help him overcome his dependence on ale and learn to see himself as strong and capable…or will he spend the rest of his life focusing on what he lost? 

And where exactly are the missing Sinclair jewels?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Agata Sinclair is one of four sisters known to their clan as the Highland jewels.  Each named after a stone in the long missing family heirloom.  Legend has it that they have to find the actual jewels to save the clan. 
The new marriage her father has arranged for her is one she is looking forward to for many reasons.  It doesn't quite start the way she would hope. 
Jamie MacKenzie is the uncle to the young clan chief,  so should act on his behalf until he comes of age.  Unfortunately for the clan Jamie is carrying demons from the past ,and drowning himself in drink. 
This is a fun Highland adventure with very strong family values. Our heroine is a strong and loving woman, determined to save all her loved ones. 
While each book in this series can be read alone, the series is best read in order. 
Good fun.

Caroline is living her own little Happily Ever After in NC with her husband, sons, and brand-new daughter, Princess Wiggles. And while she doesn’t so much “suffer” from Pittakionophobia as think all you people who enjoy touching Band-Aids and stickers are the real weirdos, she does adore rodents, and never met a wine she didn’t like. Caroline was named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year in 2006 (along with the rest of you) and is really quite funny in person. Promise.

SYNOPSIS

A Justice Hustlers Novel
She’s beautiful, unpredictable–and on the run from dangerous men. But this  ex-side chick is ready to risk everything to help others in trouble . . . 
Fed up with her married Miami boyfriend, savvy Dulce has no problem stealing his  drug-dealer stash and fleeing to her family in the Caribbean. But when she gets bored in rural Santo Domingo, she escapes on a sugar daddy adventure to Puerto Rico. Her new life is one endless party, until she’s caught in Hurricane Maria–and witnesses the brutal collision of colonization and climate change, as well as the international vultures who plunder the tragedy for a financial killing, making shady use of relief funds to devastate the island even more. Broke, traumatized, and stranded, Dulce’s only chance to get back to New York may be a sexy, crusading journalist who’s been pursuing her. But is she hustling him or falling for him?
Meanwhile, New York-based mastermind thief Marisol already has her hands full fleecing a ruthless CEO who’s stealing her family’s land in Puerto Rico, while trying to get her relatives out alive after the hurricane. An extra member in her crew could be game-changing, but she’s wary of Dulce’s unpredictability and reputation for drama. Still, Dulce’s determination to get justice draws Marisol in, along with her formidable Lower East Side Women’s Health Clinic’s heist squad. But their race-against-the-clock plan is soon complicated by powerful men who turn deadly when ex-side chicks step out of the shadows and demand to call the shots . . .
