The Untamed MacKenzie
by Jennifer Ashley
My Review:
My Rating: 4.5 Stars!
The Untamed Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley is the story that features the mystery detective from Scotland Yard "Lloyd Fellows" and the sister to Isabella "Louisa" and where over the past few books we have seen a sizzling chemistry building and this is their story.
The Untamed MacKenzie was a interesting one. While I really enjoyed it, I think this book needed at least 100 more pages to develop the story a bit more. It kinda seemed like it was rushed a bit at the end there for both the plot and the relationship and I think if the author had written a full length story for this one, it would have done a bit more stronger in both elements there. I have a feeling she intended it to be a novella and its just under 200 pages and I think it really needed to be at 300 or 350 but despite the rushness in the third act, I still had a blast with this book. I do think the author might not have known what she really wanted for Lloyd and Louisa's book though or that is the impression that I received from this one here.
So for this one here, I loved seeing Lloyd and Louisa together, I have always loved the connection to each other. There is a class difference where the heroine is above the hero and even though he is part of the Mackenzie clan, he still doesn't have the money and prestige that they do. But I think much of that is due to his pride more than anything else. We have a mystery in this one, where Louisa is the prime suspect in a high society murder and Lloyd is the only one that can find the evidence to prove that it isn't her because all the evidence points to her. The longing and pining between these two was so brilliant. And I loved the sensuality and intimate connection these two have.....these just blazed fire in the pages and in all the best of ways. There is something magical in how Jennifer Ashley writes her sensual moments, because it feels so much more than sexual expressions.....it really digs deep on the intimacy feels.
My only issue was the third act. It was very rushed at the end both in these two claiming each other and finding the true villain and exposing him but I will say it was super satisfying the ending and how they worked together to bring him down including Ian doing some secretive things haha And Daniel along for the show of course.
Overall I found The Untamed Mackenzie to be a delight and I am glad that I decided to pick it up!
