BOOK: MacKalvey House by Carol Ann Kauffman



MacKalvey House

by Carol Ann Kauffman


Young American Michelle Rosemont visits England after college graduation and 
decides to stay. She takes a job as photographer for a historical magazine and 
falls in love with the extremely unpopular Kenneth MacKalvey, an older British 
author with a shady past. 

Old families scars resurface and play havoc with Michelle and Kenneth's relationship,
 as she struggles to come to terms with her father's abandonment and unforeseen 
family issues, as well as a ruthless redhead.


Dear Gentle Readers,
If you read Echo of Heartbreak, A Recipe for Life, then I think you will 
enjoy this one, too. It is not a sequel. In. fact, Echo of Heartbreak was 
a prequel.
In preparing to write this book, I needed a clear picture in my mind of 
Michelle's mother, Melina Valentina Rosemont, because she is paramount 
to the formation of Michelle's persona. Her fears, strengths, and personality
are strongly tied to her mother.
In the end, I had so much information on Melina, I thought she deserved 
her own little book, with recipes, tips on housekeeping and wardrobe 
planning, and insights on life. So, Echo of Heartbreak, A Recipe for 
Life came into being.

Kenneth MacKalvey is a wealthy man. He inherited the family business, he has written many books, he is an artist 
and owns a art gallery. But most of all, he is known for his rude, bad mouth, nasty self. His reputation on a scale of 
1-10, is a 0.
Michelle Rosemount has only been in England for a short time. With a degree in Early Childhood Education, she left 
the states to start a new life. Working as a photographer for a historical magazine, she loves taking pictures of the 
manors, castles and ruins.
Michelle has read every book Mr. MacKalvey has written. She feels like she knows him , really knows him. She wants 
to be with him in every way possible. She deep down loves him. Kenneth heard her voice for the first time and knew 
that they belonged together and always have and always will. He is drawn to her.
Carol Ann Kauffman puts together the perfect English gentleman meets the beautiful American, but what she doesn't
 do is make it sappy. She shows how a true drawl to a connection can be, that opposites do attract. Come on you two, 
get it together!
The love story of Kenneth and Michelle isn't much different then most, on again, off again. But theirs has an evil red 
head to come between them and make matters way worse then expected. This red head relishes in all of it. All she 
wants is his name, money, house and children. Will she get any of it?
At one point when Michelle is swearing Kenneth off and needs a break from life, she heads to Italy with her best friend 
and aunt. She is enjoying the beautiful land around her, until there is a man set up for her. She gets very drunk, insults everybody and runs to the olive trees. This man follows and well, lets say they see the olive trees in a different way. 
This man stays in her life as a very good friend. He helps her start her own business and helps her to forget Kenneth 
by having her live with him, far away from Kenneth.
Who does Michelle end up with in the end? Well the ending was a huge surprise! I never saw that coming at all. Carol 
did a good job with subtle hints along the way that I didn't see until after I read the ending. Another fantastic story in 
the Time After Time Series! This series is a must read!
