He knows Ian won't sell him out to the rest of the family.
He listens and is loving in his dealings with all of them, and then. I love how he deals with his whole family as they interfere with his life. The Mackenzie family as a whole is intricately involved in Daniel's life and in his romantic adventure. The plot follows an interesting path, taking the reader from London to Marseille, back to England, going on to a climactic scene in Paris, and a final epilogue in Scotland. They are a wonderful pair, Daniel with his easy, charming ways and wonderful laugh, and Violet with her deep need to understand what honesty means, what it is to feel safe, to be truly cared for, loved, and understood. And that is where Daniel comes in, not to save the day (although he tries) but to show Violet that she has the strength to deal with the past and to move on with her life. She remains a partially broken woman who needs healing. The main conflicts arise from terrible past experiences that Violet survived only by running away.
Daniel is attracted to Violet physically, but her mind is what really hooks him.ĭaniel and Violet fall for each other pretty early in their journey to happiness. Daniel with his keen, obsessive mind is an inventor, and Violet is part of a spiritualist team along with her mother, but she also has a knack for understanding and creating her own mechanical inventions. Both Daniel and Violet are an integral part of both worlds. With the romance between Daniel and his Violet, Ashley moves this series to that exciting period in time when motorcars, balloons, and mechanical inventions were just beginning to make an impact and spiritualists were all the rage in many of the best salons in Europe.
More than just sexy, Daniel is a sensualist who enjoys life to its fullest.
Of course, Daniel has the advantage of having been developed and loved, as a character throughout the whole series. What a sexy, sweet, man our Daniel turned out to be! Ashley outdid herself with this Mackenzie character.
