Scorned by suitors for her statuesque size, Harriet Stansbury bolts when her abusive stepfather begins negotiating with impecunious aristocrats to sell her for her dowry. When opportunity offers, she daringly takes a position in an eccentric household until she can claim her fortune.Once a dashing rakehell, Duncan Ives, Marquess of Ashford lost his eyesight in a murderous assault. Abandoned by his fiancee, unable to ride the vast fields of his estate, he vents his frustration on political reform. On impulse, he hires the intriguing smoky-voiced Harriet even though he knows she's lyingâ??like himâ??with almost every word she speaks. At first Harriet is a godsend, oddly anticipating what he needs and abating his worst rages. But when her stepfather accuses Duncan of ruining her, the scandal threatens everything he's salvaged from the wreckage of his life. For the sake of his country, Duncan agrees to marriage. With her secret gift of empathy, Harriet isn't so certain. She's falling in love with the impossible marquess, but dare she risk her wounded heart for a man who can't love her? And can Duncan learn to trust a woman whose voluptuous curves paralyze his good sense, but who is far more than she seems… (mais)

I picked this up while it was free, despite it being a historical romance and #3 of a series.

I always approach these with trepidation. More often than not, I give up on them out of boredom (most of the time) or annoyance (the rest of the time). But, I liked that the hero's lost his sight, and how, and what it meant. I love the powers, and the heroine's trouble with hers. The plot is busy! So, although the language is wordy as is typical in historicals, I was kept entertained.

If you enjoy them, I can recommend this one, even though its editor failed it a bit in the last chapter. ( )

I love this series! I probably wouldn't have chosen this series but I was offered a chance to review it and I'm really glad I did. It took a little to get into the story but once there, you don't want to leave.
The characters are wonderfully eccentric and it is delightful getting to know them. In this book, we get to meet Miss Christie and follow her romance with the arrogant, frustrated Marquess. The romance is very entertaining as are the politics and all of the "gifts" that the Malcolms seem to possess. Delightful read!

I was given a copy of this book for an honest review. ( )

I love that Ashford is finding love. He has been through so much and greatly deserves happiness. The unexpected magic series wouldn't be complete without him. I am hopelessly hooked on this series and recommend it to others. ( )

Sheltered heiress, Harriet, runs away from abusive stepfather and his plotting to marry her off in a way that allows him to keep her money. Harriet finds herself in the employment of Marquis of Ashford. Ashford was blinded in an horse riding accident but he knows Harriet is hiding something. The two learn from each other and grow to love each other. Until Ashford's political work threatens their new lives together. Overall I enjoyed this book. I had a hard time getting into the story in the beginning but then I found myself sucked in. ( )

A follow-up in the Unexpected Magic series by Patricia Rice. Duncan Ashford, brother number 3, who was blinded in an accident, meets Harriet Christie Townsend and marries her. Her magic: her feelings. A nice read, got through it on a rainy Sunday.
Disclaimer: I got this book in the Librarything Early Reviewers. ( )
