Elizabeth Cameron, the Countess of Havenhurst, possesses a rare gentleness and fierce courage to match her exquisite beauty. But her reputation is shattered when she is discovered in the arms of Ian Thornton, a notorious gambler and social outcast. A dangerously handsome man of secret wealth and mysterious lineage, Ian’s interest in Elizabeth may not be all that it seems. His voyage to her heart is fraught with intrigue, scandal, and a venomous revenge. As a twisting path of secrets takes them from London’s drawing rooms to the awe-inspiring Scottish Highlands, Elizabeth must learn the truth: is Ian merely a ruthless fortune hunter at heart?

Almost Heaven is book three in the Sequel Series by Judith McNaught. It has some of the characters from the previous book Something Wonderful. McNaught is known for her sweeping emotional romances that generally contain a pivotal misunderstanding between the hero and heroine. She uses the same tactic in Almost Heaven.  I liked the characters. I thought the plot got a bit far-fetched toward the end, but overall a very good romance. There are a few steamy scenes, but McNaught writes them with such skill that they are achingly sweet to read.
