I am definitely looking forward to reading more from this series. The first two instalments were absolutely enjoyable and An Improper Encounter does not disappoint.
One can feel the heartbreak that Sarah and William go through. And the romance and intrigue take it to another level of delightful reading.
This is one series that readers can look out for.

An Improper Encounter by Erica Taylor is the third book in The Macalister's series. This can be read as a standalone book but I recommend reading the other books because it lays some of the background down. The story is about Sarah Hartford and William Gordon set during in the past. Sarah is great because of being a submissive female she is strong and focused. This is a time period when reputations were very important and could ultimately make or break a person. Sarah and William had met in the past but when they meet again the circumstances have changed. Will they be a happily ever after?
I have enjoyed this series and this book as well. The characters are interesting and there is always a little bit of suspense to the stories. I also like that no one seems to be a complete dope. People are flawed but are smart enough and interesting. This keeps the stories progressing and me reading. I look forward to where this series progresses next.

An Improper Encounter (The Macalisters, #3)
By Erica Taylor
4 stars
An Improper Encounter was another wonderful read by Erica Taylor. I have really enjoyed all of the books in this series so far. The author’s attention to detail is second to none, she really makes it so easy for me as a reader to imagine what I am reading – at times it is like I am watching a period drama. I really liked the storyline for this book, it was a little different to what I have read before – I thought the characters were great. I loved the chemistry between Sarah and William! It was really believable. Sarah was a really strong female lead – I love it when this genre of story has such a strong, independent female main character. After everything she went through she seemed to come out fighting! I admire that about her.
After Sarah and Williams first encounter I have to admit that the rest of the way through the story I was rooting for them to find their way back to each other again. This book could be read as a standalone however I would absolutely recommend reading the first two books also as they are just as good as this one.
I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

An Improper Encounter is the third book in the Macalisters series by Erica Taylor. This book can be a stand-alone story but if you read the previous two books you will get some insight to this story. Erica Taylor has done an amazing job with the Macalisters sisters. Out of the three I will admit this story was most interested in. This is Lady Sarah’s story. Her story is one of love, lost, and bewilderment. Will fate hurt Sarah’s chance at love or will they overcome what has happened?

This is a must read and is my favorite yet. I love how I get pulled into the story from the start and made to feel as if I am right there. The characters make the story engaging and page turning. This story is full of lies, secrets and misunderstandings. Sarah meets a stranger on a bet but what will happen when he shows up on her doorstep married with a pregnant wife? Will they be able to overcome what fate has thrown at them to find their HEA? I highly recommend finding out!

An Improper Encounter is the third book in The Macalisters Series by Erica Taylor. This is an historical/regency romance with some drama, angst, mystery, and suspense. You don’t need to have read the other two books before reading this one, but they would provide wonderful backstories, and give character information that would give you an enhanced reading experience. Even though each book in this series focuses on one particular Macalister, the others all make appearances and we get snippets of what’s happening in their lives too. I am enjoying getting to know the Macalisters and following them on their stories.
This book is Sarah Macalisters story, she became the mother figure to her siblings when their own mother died, and she ‘raised’ them to be a loving and tight-knit group. She then went on to get married, but her husband soon died, leaving her a very wealthy widow. She meets Dr. William Gordon on her travels, and on a dare engages in a scandalous affair. What was just meant to alleviate her boredom, and add a little spark into her life, becomes far more complicated than either could have imagined. Their three day affair awakens feelings that neither really expected- and they begin to make plans together. But Ms. Taylor didn’t make it easy for them, adding a twist or two to make things interesting. Will they find their happiness together? Or will there be too many obstacles in their way?
I recommend this story (and series) to anyone who likes historical/regency romance.
Thank you, Ms. Taylor!

An Improper Encounter (The Macalisters Book 3) by Erica Taylor is an historical romance
with with lots of mystery and drama, heartache and suspense, scandal and attempted
murder, lies and deceit. As I have mentioned before historical romances are not my thing
unless they are done right and trust me Erica has done it right. The characters in this series
are family and are in each and every book, given there are so many of them, so I suggest
you read the other two books before reading this one, so you know and understand their
wonderful background and their stories, which makes the reading experience so much
better. Erica has thrown in quite a few twists to this plot and keeps you guessing all the way
through.
Sarah survived being ill treated in a horrible marriage but is now a widow. She helped/helps
raise her younger siblings after the death of her parents and has always acted like the lady
she is expected to be in society, even though she is tired of it. Whilst away, her best friend
dares her to put aside propriety and just live.
William Gordon gets the shock of his life, when stopping at an Inn, where he meets the
lovely widow. Travelling together brings them closer than they ever could have imagined and
promises were made. Unfortunately lies and deceit had other ideas that lead to pain and
heartache, sorrow and hate and broken hearts.
I recommend this series to all historical romance lovers and even those who are not and
want to take a chance like I did.

Erica Taylor does a masterful job continuing her regency series and staying true to the characters already introduced in the previous series’ books. The writing style is full of wit, flawed characters, playful banter, a feisty heroine, and headstrong leading man. Familh continues to play such a large part in both main characters’ storyline development. Like Austen, the characters are prideful and bound to duty. And like Austen, these characters step boldly off the page and into your heart. Loved this book and series. Hoping there are more to come!

An Improper Encounter is book three in the Macalisters by Erica Taylor. These stories from yesteryear are a delightful and much welcome change to my reading regime. A talent with the words, Erica Taylor can certainly keep a reader captivated and eager for more. The story was complete, with characters that were engaging and enigmatic, with personalities and desires not commonly norm for the era. I love reading about a more risque character, and Lady Sarah Hartford is all that, and more. Her and William embarked on an intensely mysterious love affair, while hiding their true identities. If that didn't get your blood flowing, then something is wrong. The William disappears, only to reappear months later.
Such a delicious story, shrouded in mystery, lies and deception. Heartbreaking decisions, secrecy and a bone deep connection has them struggling to keep afloat. A plethora of emotions were wrenched from me. Suspenseful right until the end, I was entranced with the characters and the context it was written in. A mystifying tale that would suit most readers. 4 stars

I would like to thank netgalley and Amberjack Publishing for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
This is book 3 of the Macalister series, and focuses on Sarah, the oldest sibling.
I love this series and really enjoyed Sarah's story. The twists are unique and not overly predictable. I can't wait for the next book.
