A Devil in Scotland begins with the extremely difficult scene in which Callum is drunk and has just learned that Rebecca, his best friend, has consented to marry his older brother. In his opinion, she ‘flays’ him alive. Well, he is drunk and in his own words he has bedded every female in the village but her. She wants stability, children and a safe marriage. Obviously, he did not seem interested in her as a wife or girlfriend until he finds out she is marrying his brother. Their evening gets worse when his brother and his friends hear him try to talk her into leaving with him instead of marrying the brother.

Ten years go by in which Ian, the brother, has written to Callum, but Callum has the letters burned without reading them. When Callum learns of Ian’s death by drowning, he knows it was not an accident. The night Ian ordered Callum to leave Scotland and never come back, Callum warned his brother in front of the Duke of Dunncraigh, that the duke and his son were not their friends. Callum told the duke that if anything happened to his brother, he would return and kill him. Thus, Callum returns to Scotland with vengeance on his mind. He knows there is no way his brother could have drowned. They were both excellent swimmers.

Rebecca refuses to believe the Duke or his son, Lord Stapp, are not her friends. Lord Stapp is courting her and plans to marry quickly. The duke and his son have stood by her not only upon losing her husband, but also, two weeks later when her father dies. Callum does everything he can to convince her once he realizes she was not a part of his brother’s death Dunncraigh and Stapp are complicit in his brother’s death. He knows they are after her fortune and her father’s shipping business.

Little Mags, his niece, wraps him around her little finger. Callum loves her upon sight. She has the same eyes as that of himself and his brother. Joining their little ‘pack’ are a she-wolf he brought from the states and a little dog he describes as ‘the mop.’ In addition, there are several great secondary characters that a loyal, kind and trustworthy to round out the story.

Late into the book characters from the first two books in the series join the group to try to exact vengeance on the Duke of Dunncraigh. All of this brings together two people to help right a wrong. What I liked about their HEA is that both Rebecca and Callum realize they are not the same two people who argued on that fateful night ten years prior. Rebecca would not have become the strong woman he loved and Callum would not be the successful man he became in the states. At times, it seemed as though Rebecca allowed the duke and his son to control too much of her estate, but if you put it into perspective of a new widow and of the loss of her father all within a two week time period, that can be excused by grief. She was a bit too trusting.

Not matter that, this is still a really good book as third in the No Ordinary Hero series. Although I enjoyed reading the books in succession, ‘Devil’ could be read as a stand alone, too. Enoch writes strong characters with strong feelings, loyalty and love that you will thoroughly enjoy.

I love Scotland stories they just seem magical. This story is about Callum MacCreath, who is not in any hurry to marry. After his young brother announces his engagement to Rebecca a cild friend Callum he wants to marry her. Becca thought it was logical to marry Ian when Callum went to America but she missed him. A decade later, Becca is a widow and Callum returns changed. This book was amazing.

The story is really intriguing and keeps you interested but I didn’t like the heroine, Rebecca’s character. I felt like she transferred her affections too easily based on who had the most power and wealth. I liked Callum and most especially adored reading about his wolf, Waya. I also loved Maggie and wish she gets her own story in the future. This is book three of No ordinary hero series and can be read as a standalone book.

* I received this ARC from NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review*

I loved this book! I would give this book a solid 4-1/4 stars! It has all the elements of a great read: First and foremost, it has a good story plot ...the characters are well developed and it was hot and steamy all in the right places! I loved the humor that this author had injected into the book! There were a couple of comments that were made that had me chuckling right out loud! There were a couple of memorable secondary characters that were worth mentioning: Lady Mags and Waya. There were 2 or 3 instances where these two almost stole the show ...they balanced out the book quite nicely! I would definitely look for more books from this author in the future!

I would like to thank the author, the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me a copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review

3.5 stars

This was a bit different from the sorbet I normally read, but I really liked the synopsis.

I liked Callum and Rebecca. They’re both stubborn and sassy and there’s just so much chemistry between them. Rebecca’s daughter, Mags, pretty much stole every scene she was in and I couldn’t get enough of Waya.

Plot wise, it was okay. The backstory with Rebecca’s husband {aka Calllum’s brother} felt quite convoluted and with so many different clans and various members mentioned, it was hard to keep everyone straight. The scenes between Callum, Rebecca, and Mags are what kept me reading.

Overall, it was a good story with fantastic characters. I might look into other books from the series.

**Huge thanks to St. Martin’s Press for providing the arc free of charge**

A Devil in Scotland is the third book in series of standalones, but now I want to go back and read the first two...and probably a few more of Suzanne Enoch's books.

This is a second chance romance of sorts. Callum and Rebecca had been childhood friend ten years earlier, but they didn't develop a further relationship despite both of them having thoughts of it. Then Rebecca marries Callum's brother Ian, and Callum leaves Scotland.

I had reservations about the whole brother's widow scenario, but it was well done. Neither Callum or Rebecca were ready for each other ten years prior, but due to their individual situations and life events each matured into the other's perfect compliment.

And let's not forget about Mags. She was wonderful!

I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

***I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy provided by NetGalley.***

I really enjoyed this book! The characters were well developed and I loved Mags and her pack so much! I hope to see a book in the future with Mags as the heroine. She would have a grand adventure. I always hope to find books where I sigh at the end because it is over and I did that with this book. Thanks for a great read!

A Devil in Scotland is a fun romantic novel that has everything you could possibly want...mystery, intrigue, romance, a hot (headed) Scot in a kilt and a strong woman who has to make difficult choices. This book was an easy and interesting read and I thoroughly enjoyed all of the adventure to American and back...a wonderful way to fill the time now that Outlander season 3 has ended and we're entering another Droughtlander! Looking forward to the next book in Suzanne Enoch's No Ordinary Hero Series!

This story starts with the epilogue telling how Callum comes home drunk during a meeting/argument about his longtime friend Rebecca. She is going to marry his older brother Ian. He know this isn’t right because his brother and her father are getting involved with people who are not to be trusted. He is also jealous and says horrible things about Ian and Rebecca when she turns his proposal down. He is told to leave and never come back. That is just what he does. He becomes a rich man in his own rights in America but his brother has sent him many letters which he has his staff burn, that is until he finds out his brother dies in an accident. He knows he is murdered and vows revenge. It is a game of cat and mouse as he tries to prove the murder of Ian and Rebecca father. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book given to me by Netgalley.

This was a great story. Callum, Ian and Rebecca grow up together. Callum always assumed Rebecca would always be waiting for him, until she wasn't. She accepted the offer of marriage from his brother, Ian. Not because he was laird or because she loved him, but because he was safe, steady, secure. Callum goes crazy and is banished from the clan. For the next 10 yrs, he makes his life in America, building up a reputable distillery business.
He then gets the news his brother is dead, drowned, and he is laird. Callum knows there is no way his brother drowned since he was an excellent swimmer. So he heads back to Scotland to find out who murdered his brother. Home to Rebecca. The chemistry between these 2 is seen from the beginning. You knew even though Rebecca was marrying Ian, her heart belonged to Callum. Callum worries whoever killed his brother is after Rebecca next and vows to protect her and his niece, Mags. Together they work to find the proof they need to prove who murdered Ian. And at the same time they have a second chance at exploring the love they have for one another.

The last book in A No Ordinary Hero novel entitled A Devil in Scotland, penned by Suzanne Enoch, and published under the St. Martin’s Press imprint. Bring us the story of Callum MacCreath who in 1806 tries to stop the marriage of his childhood Rebecca to his older brother. With one misstep, Ian banishes him, by then Callum was happy to leave Scotland forever. But before he left he left a warning to his brother that to keep his enemy close.
Now in 1816, Callum learns that his brother regarded his warning a little too late. Now Callum finds himself back in Scotland to keep his promise to his brother and the leader of the Maxwell clan who Callum knows murdered his brother.
Sparks again fly when Callum reunites with Rebecca. And with his return, he must keep not only Rebecca safe but his brother daughter as well.

I read one other title in this series, besides this one, and didn’t enjoy it the novel as much as I did A Devil in Scotland. A Devil in Scotland lied more heavenly on the drama which I really enjoy when it comes to Historical Romance. With a well-developed plot and enjoyable characters. A Devil in Scotland is one novel you should add to your reading shelf.

Gifted by netgalley.
True to all the Scottish romance suspense novels out there this measures up! What an amazing story of highlands romance, corruption and greed. Second chance romance kinda. Adorable 6 year old, waya a wolf and a mop of a dog named reginald. Mags stole every scene she was in! This is a very good Scottish romance novel, right down to the talk and it's traditions. Throw in a unique story and a near perfect read! A little slow in the very beginning but things pick up quickly and soon your submerged in the highlands and these characters! Great read and a new author to follow!

This is the third and final book in the “No Ordinary Hero” series after “Hero in the Highlands” and “My One True Highlander” which I read and enjoyed thoroughly earlier this year.

When he learns that Ian, laird MacCreath, and his father-in-law George Sanderson had died mysteriously within a fortnight of each other almost a year ago, Callum MacCreath knows it is time to return to his native Scotland to find the chief of the clan, the duke of Dunncraigh and kill him.

Ten years earlier, when Callum was a rake of only 20, he tried to warn Ian of the unfaithful motivations of the chief of clan Maxwell, a cruel man hungry for wealth and power. Instead, Ian not only ignored his little brother’s warnings but he also got himself betrothed to George Sanderson’s daughter Rebecca, the girl Callum grew up with, his one and only love. Rebecca at 18 agrees to marry Ian, for he offers comfort and safety while Callum means uncertainty and adventure. When Callum tries to make her change her mind but she rejects him and Ian bans him from his lands and denies him as a brother. Before sailing to America Callum’s final words to Ian are of warning about the dangers afoot, and he promises that should he die for his dealings with Dunncraigh, he will return and avenge him.

Twenty years later and after a year of mourning, Rebecca and her little daughter Margaret, meet Callum, the new man, wealthy and hardworking. The Callum she once knew is no more, and this new man, now laird MacCreath, is willing to risk everything including his own life, to protect them, grant them safety and, in the meantime, kill his nemesis.

I love Suzanne Enoch’s books. Having read several of them I find that the “No Ordinary Hero” trilogy is my favorite of her series and the final book didn’t disappoint at all, although honestly I have to say that it is my least favorite of the trilogy. The problem, in my personal opinion, is that the story focuses so clearly on the mystery/detective story side rather than on Becca’s and Callum’s romance. The antagonism turned romance is well developed and it is beautiful indeed, but we don’t get to read as much of that as of the clan’s politics, the revenge and the motivations, the dealings with the past, the anger and the regret. This is not necessarily a bad thing, those feelings and dealings needed to be there, but I would have liked that both aspects of the novel (the whodunit and why, and the romance) had been more balance, more of a 50/50 so to speak.

Having said that, I loved the way Callum and Becca learn to build a new trust between them. This is what they needed in the end. But I loved even more the natural way they become a family themselves and little Mags. And Mags was my favorite character, her and her acceptance of Callum right from the start. They become a pack of wolves the minute they meet, and pack is a metaphor for family, love and protection.

Although I said that "A Devil in Scotland" is my least favorite of the trilogy, to be fair and completely honest, I must say that the expectations were very high, so high that it was not easy at all that the book would meet them. But in the end I liked the book very much; I liked it more than most of Enoch’s earlier books, still not as much as the first two books of “No Ordinary Hero”, but that is ok.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
💋💋💋
I’ve not read any of Suzanne’s work before , but after this I fully intend to carry on .
The Devil In Scotland is a brilliant piece of writing that from the first keeps you turning those pages .
I finished it in about 6 hours and barely left it , except for the school run and that was under duress lol 😆.
I recommend this to all Fans of romance, throughly enjoyable.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley, and I chose to submit a review.

The Duke of Dunncraigh has been the villain in each of the books in this series, No Ordinary Hero, but in "A Devil" in Scotland the Duke outdoes himself in his wickedness. When Callum learns of his brother Ian's death, he returns to Scotland to avenge what he is positive was not an accident but rather murder. Suddenly, however, he finds himself facing his brother's widow, Rebecca, who was Callum's childhood friend. While sparks fly between Callum and Rebecca, the Duke of Dunncraigh and his son are plotting ways to ensure that nothing gets in the way of their plans to become shipping magnates, especially not Callum and Rebecca.

There is plenty of tension, action, danger, and romance in "A Devil in Scotland" which makes for a thrilling and exciting read. Suzanne Enoch writes great romance novels and I look forward to her next series.

Suzanne Enoch doesn't fail to please and I really enjoyed her latest romance set in Scotland. Very sexy, very romantic and I just love brawny Highlanders.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. This is the third in the No Ordinary Hero series but can be read as a stand alone. I will say however, characters from the previous two books are mentioned enough times to peak your curiosity.
I requested this book for: 1) THE GORGEOUS COVER and 2) THE AUTHOR. I never did read the description until I started to read the book. The book is about Callum MacCreath who returns after the death of his older brother Ian, and begins to woes Rebecca; Ian's widow. I ALMOST ALWAYS have a problem with the "woe the brother's widow" trope and yet Suzanne Enoch did a wonderful job. It never felt weird to me as I was reading the book. I enjoyed how Enoch explained an old Scottish law that allowed for brothers to marry the widow in order to keep power and money in the family.
I loved the couple of Rebecca and Callum and the banter between the two was wonderful. The two of them work together to find out who killed Ian. As the two work towards the end, the relationship intensifies and they become equals.
This was a wonderful book about romance with steamy sex scenes. I loved it!!!!

another fantastic historical romance by Ms. Enoch. Good solid plot with a good romance.

2/5
*Recieved a review copy in exchange for an honest review.

I dnf'd a little over halfway through. I just lost interest becuase it felt rather drawn out. I simply didn't connect to the characters. I was really intrigues by the setting and the plot was interesting but the execution was lacking for me.

I always love a Suzanne Enoch book. A Devil in Scotland is the best of her No Ordinary Hero series with a great heroine and hero.
