What was to be a grand adventure for Melissa MacGregor - an escape from the wilds of her Scottish home into the whirl of the London social scene - seems to pale before the promise in the passionate gaze of Lincoln Ross Burnett. Though they exchange but a few words before parting after a chance encounter on her grandfather's lands, Melissa instantly knows this bold stranger is her destiny, while Lincoln realizes his heart has been claimed forever and he will never be complete until Melissa MacGregor is his bride.
But there are serious obstacles impeding the well-smitten Viscount Cambury's pursuit of glorious romance: sixteen of them - all big and brawny, six named Ian and all named MacFearson. The bane of Lincoln's youth, Melissa's stifling, disapproving uncles are now determined to rob him of his newfound happiness. Yet he is equally resolved to confront the peril - and to pursue his exquisite obsession all the way to London. . . and to the ends of the earth, if necessary.
Daughter of Kimberly MacGregor, Melissa MacFearson, was blessed with 16 brothers. Lincoln Ross Burnett, who lived in the nearby manor house until he was 10, fought the MacGregor brothers, making them mortal enemies and was sent to England to be raised and educated. It's love at first sight when this star-crossed pair meets in the Highlands of Scotland, and then meets again during the social season in London, only to become embroiled in a twenty-year-old feud. Michael Page creates superb accents and characterizations for the 16 MacGregor brothers, as well as the various other women and men in this enchanting romance. Page handles the fights, a kidnapping, and even some steamy scenes with a consistent Scottish burr. His performance is marred only by the bleed-through of the tape. THE PURSUIT is the stuff of romance, certain to lighten Indian summer blues. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
