A Devil in Scotland by Suzanne Enoch is a great story that I highly recommend. It is book three in the No Ordinary Hero series but can certainly be read as a stand-alone book. The descriptions of the Scottish lands and its people were well developed. The characters were well developed and fit perfectly into this story. This story was full of both romance, hot chemistry and a lot of action. It was a good mix of both and held my interest until the end. Other characters in the story added further depth to the story especially the little girl Mags. Loved her and her humor. I recommend this book for a great read. Suzanne Enoch has a unique writing style that grabs your interest and does not let go.

NetGalley provided me with an advanced copy for my honest review.

Oh this one is good. It has all the highland hallmarks (grassy hills, loyal clansman, and fierce Scottish warriors) you'd expect, plus wonderful intrigue and a hot, childhood sweethearts (sorta) romance.

So good! I highly recommend A Devil in Scotland.

Awesome book! This held my interest from beginning to end, with plenty of action, romance and great characters. I will definitely be reading more books by this author.

My review may be affected because I have not read the other two books in the No Ordinary Hero trilogy, I treated this book as a standalone. I did enjoy the slow burn romance and the characters did have chemistry together. Callum’s progression from a “drunk child” as Becca calls him to a successful businessman was well thought out and made sense. Becca’s choice for a first husband was logical and time period appropriate. For me though, the best character by far was Mags. She is the definition of precocious and quite frankly I hope she gets her own book with Waya.
I understand the author has to create drama and make sure the reader follows the character’s thought process, but what slowed down the novel a bit for me was when the characters constantly brought up the night with the fight. As a reader, it felt like it happened every chapter, but otherwise the pacing was good and it was a unique twist on the “whodunnit” aspect because we knew who killed him, Callum just needed proof.
I also enjoyed that Callum had to choose between his revenge and his family, that is something I had not seen in historical romance before.

A pesar de ser una grande en el género del Romance Histórico, no había leído nada de Suzanne Enoch pero Netgalley me prestó una copia de A Devil in Scotland, el tercer volumen de la serie No Ordinary Hero y me dieron muchas ganas de conocer su escritura.

No tardé mucho en quedar prendada de la historia. En el prólogo conocemos a los jóvenes protagonistas, Rebecca y Callum han sido amigos desde pequeños pero la idea que cada tiene de lo que desean para su futuro es muy diferente. Rebecca termina casada con el hermano de Callum y este se ve camino a América.

Diez años han pasado de esto y Callum se ha visto obligado a volver cuando descubre que su hermano ha fallecido. El escocés está convencido de que su muerte no fue un accidente y ha jurado vengarse de quien sea que haya asesinado a su hermano,

La sinopsis no llamaba tanto mi atención pero me he dado cuenta de que con este género las historias suelen ser mucho más interesantes y complicadas de lo que la sinopsis describe y en las páginas de A Devil in Scotland personajes fuertes y cautivadores que me mantuvieron leyendo página tras página.

Me enamoré de Callum y su espiritu y me encantó que Becca no tratara de aplacarlo. Ambos han cambiado en esos diez años que no se vieron (es algo de lo que se hace mención a cada rato) y ha sido para bien. Ahora si están listos para iniciar una relación. Aunque primero Callum tiene que obtener su venganza.

I really enjoyed reading A Devil in Scotland by Suzanne Enoch, book three in her No Ordinary Hero series. As a twenty-year old Callum, being the second son, had no responsibility so he lived recklessly by indulging in whiskey and women, and as presented was not very likeable. Becca, two years younger, grew up with Callum and his older brother Ian as playmates and best friends. She is already considering her future, wanting security and a family. Upon hearing that Becca is to marry his older brother’s marriage offer, Callum while upset, rashly proposes that she run away with him instead and insults everyone from his brother to their clan chief. Everything he says is overheard by his brother who furiously banishes him.

Fast forward ten years and we find Callum a wiser if not cynical man who through hard work built an empire in America with a successful whiskey company. When Callum accidently learns from a scrap of newspaper that Ian had died in a tragic drowning accident, he knows that foul play must be involved and returns to Scotland intending to seek revenge for his brother. The adult Callum is more likeable and honorable. Upon his return with his pet wolf, Waya, he discovers he has a six-year old niece, Mags, who he feels very protective of and the clan chief’s son courting Becca. As Becca and Callum reconnect they find a strong and powerful chemistry between them. This powerful story contains humor with the antics of Mags, Waya the wolf, and the family Skye Terrier Reginald, known as Mop along with some steamy sex scenes. Becca and Callum need to trust the other as they work together in figuring out who killed Ian.

I enjoyed reading this story. Ms. Enoch is an excellent storyteller, keeping me interested in this story so that I had trouble putting it down. I recommend this outstanding book to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

What a enjoyable read! Well written storyline that’s full of mystery, suspense, danger and a second chance love story. Wonderful characters. Callum is swoon worthy. Yum! Becca is smart and strong. Mags is the cutest. Good villains too. Ending was a little abrupt. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC thanks to NetGalley.

After ten years Callum has finally returned home. Things have changed and his revenge towards his enemies has grown. He will stop at nothing to take what he wants since they conspired against his family. Rekindling his love with his childhood friend Rebecca he will make up all the time he has lost. A never ending ride of lost, love, and betrayal. Loved it!

This is a roller coaster of a read, fast-moving with plenty of thrills and just the right touch of romance — plus, one of the best little girls ever, Lady Margaret, who is just a hoot — and a wolf. A real she-wolf, straight from America. The tale of Callum's growth as a human being, his love for Rebecca (which he fails to recognize until it's too late) and his return to her life after she becomes a widow is engrossing. The widowed Rebecca remembers her best friend, Callum, but is afraid the man is too much like the wild boy who was sent away by her late husband, Ian, Callum's older brother. There is more than a love story, too. It's a mystery and even a bit of a thriller. Callum is determined to learn more about how his brother died, protect his niece and maybe, just maybe, end up with the girl he has loved most of his life. (I received an advance reader copy from NetGalley. Opinions are my own.)

Ten years ago Callum left Scotland broken-hearted, after the only girl he ever cared about chose to accept his older brother Ian’s marriage proposal. News of Ian’s death, and his own ascension to the title of Lord Geiry, brings him back, convinced Ian’s death was no accident. The only question in his mind is whether or not Rebecca was involved in the murder plot… and therefore whether or not she will die with his other enemies.

Discovering that he is an uncle changes Callum’s plans radically, because now little Lady Margaret needs his protection. And so, he soon realizes, does her mother.

I actually really enjoyed the second-chance aspect to Callum and Rebecca’s romance, and this was beautifully written. The issues I had with the story were more the fact that Scottish law was even more biased against women than English law at the time… anyone who Rebecca married would instantly become the owner of her fortune, and no matter whether Rebecca or her husband passed on first, Margaret couldn’t inherit any of it, which is so far beyond right I saw red every time I thought about it. At least Callum made some effort to address that inequity. Frankly, I thought Rebecca should have taken Margaret and left for London long before he got there, flatly refusing any offers of marriage for her daughter’s sake. Her failure to take action annoyed me intensely; she basically just wanted to be rescued, and that’s not something I like much in a heroine.

Therefore, I’m giving this one four stars; well written, but if heroines who sit on their hands waiting to be rescued annoy you, avoid this one.

After reading book two, I was super excited for this story. I have really loved reading this author over the years and she has done some unique highlander style romances that are a “bit” different than what you normally see. This author’s strength is the regency era so even if its a highlander romance its set in this time period. We are taken to these two characters that have been friends pretty much since they were children. Both of them indivuallyhave secretly loved each other but they don’t realize how much until set of circusmtances drive them apart.

Callum left Scotland and moved to America where he started his own business in making Whiskey and other “spirits” and still bitter over losing the woman he loved and having his brother marrying her. But after years of ignoring the letters by his brother, he gets hints that there is something terribly wrong and once he investigates he soon learns that his brother has been killed and and so he moves back to Scotland, to take over the title and make sure that his sister in law is alright. But once he starts searching around, not everything is right about the way that his brother was killed and he suspects foul play.

He easily wins the heart of his niece and many members of the household, but winning over his lady’s heart will take some determination and hard work. Callum admits that he was foolish when he was younger and drinking is the reason he was never able to marry the one woman he has always loved and never forgotten. We see the changes in him from when he was younger to now…more respectable and hard working. We see the regrets that he has especially when it comes to his family.

The romance between these two is quite fun at times, and I honestly just loved seeing the ways that these two begin to fall in love for a second time. Its a second chance, where two people are stronger and responsible and they have both changed but they still have a strong affection for each other. And there is some sassy sexy banter that only Suzanne Enoch can deliver in this way. I won’t say that this book is my favorite of the series, but it had so many unique elements that just draw you in. I felt that Suzanne Enoch handled the murder mystery pretty well and yes the villains are brought down in such a finalizing way that they deserved and the story builds it up pretty intensely which keeps the reader at the edge of their seat.

Book three of the No Ordinary Hero series, it kind of plays out like it's the last one since the antagonist in all three books finally gets his just due. Even though all three books have the common enemy they can be read as standalones; there is very little character crossover and when there is it's only pertinent to this storyline. Suzanne Enoch definitely has a way with words, the characters really came to life for me, and the mystery and the little bit of suspense were very well done, this is probably my favorite of hers so far.

Callum, Ian, and Rebecca all grew up together. Ian the stoic, studious older brother; Callum the fun one and also risk-taker. Rebecca was a neighbor the daughter of a shipping merchant who got rich. Rebecca loved both brother's but when it came time to marry she choose the older not just because the title but because he was who he was and everything Callum was not. Callum was a drunkard who would tup any pretty girl and took nothing seriously. That is until Ian and Rebecca announced their engagement and not only that but a deal between Rebecca's father and the Duke of Dunncraigh. Callum knows Dunncraigh is bad news and after he finished insulting his brother and Rebecca, because how could she want Ian when she can have him, Rebecca insults him back basically saying he's a drunken loser and then Ian kicks him out of the house and the family, but before Callum leaves he tells them what a bad idea it is to get into business with Dunncraigh and if anything bad happens he knows it will be Dunncraigh's fault and he will seek his vengeance.

Callum left Scotland dejected and heartbroken, he never realized how much he loved Rebecca until he realized she wouldn't be there any more and with the truth of her words ringing in his ears he travels to America to create a new life for himself, and he does with his Kentucky Whiskey. A couple of years into in banishment he starts to receive letters from his brother, Callum never even bothers to read them until almost ten years later he sees the obituary for his brother in a months old newspaper, the latest letter goes unburned and Callum finds himself finally going back to Scotland after all these years because he promised he would get his vengeance.

Rebecca was content with her life until Ian died and suddenly followed her Father. The Dunncraigh's had been nothing but generous with their sympathies and their offers to help with the business. The sudden appearance of Callum a year after Ian's death has her all confused she doesn't know what to think of this brisk and brutish man who use to be the boy she knew and what he wants is his inheritance and to make her life miserable. Callum wants to hate Rebecca for what she said all those years ago, he wants her to be a social climbing vixen who had a hand in his brother's death but it's clear she's not and she every bit a beautiful and headstrong as ever and he loves her all the more for it. Now she just needs to stay out of his way while he proves the Dunncraigh and his son are the reason his brother and Rebecca's father are dead. If only it was easier said than done.

Overall, it was a wonderful story, very well done nicely paced. Rebecca could be a little annoying with her stubbornness but her entire world got turned upside down I don't blame her for not believing Callum's suspicions in the beginning. Rebecca and Ian's daughter Mags is so adorably precocious and Callum's wolf and that walking mop of a dog of Mags, that's funny. It has a wonderfully satisfying ending, and I look forward to reading more of Suzanne Enoch.

in a devil in scotland, callum macreath never thought he'd lose rebecca to his brother. she was his best friend. the only woman he could ever imagine loving. and when she not only confirms her engagement, but also repudiates callum for the wild and irresponsible boy he is, he is devastated. when his brother casts him out when callum's anger leaves him no option, he leaves his highland home and heads to america.

ten years later he is a self-made man in the kentucky hills. he's cut himself off entirely from his past life in the highlands. but when a headline reveals that his brother is dead, and he is the next in line for the earldom, he has no choice but to head home.

it's not a warm and pleasant homecoming. callum distrusts everyone. he knows his brother was murdered. and he's just not sure that rebecca wasn't in on it. he's still hurt and angry from the words they exchanged ten years ago. but when he meets his niece, his heart cracks open. and everything changes.

and the more he comes back to his old life, the more his outer resolve weakens. he can't count on everyone being an enemy. and maybe if he counts them as friends, he will finally have everything. he'll have a chance for justice. he'll have the love he thought he'd left behind. he'll have someone to love and protect and cherish.

there is something to be said for having the chance to grow up. if rebecca hadn't cast him aside all those years ago, callum might not be the man he becomes. their past marks them, and even though there is a lot of time lost, it was time they both needed to become the people that they end up being.

**a devil in scotland will publish on january 30, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/st. martin's press in exchange for my honest review.

What a book second chance romance with a ton of suspense.
Not only that, but Rebeccas is tough and even though she was fooled for a long time when she really listened to Callum she decided to get revenge. You know what they say a women scorned...
This story had everything and more.


** I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**

A Devil in Scotland is an exciting and passionate story of love, revenge and second chances. Callum left his homeland rejected and angry. He came to America and became a man of independent means. I liked his strength and determination, but I was sad to see that bitterness replaced love in his heart. He's a hard man. When he learns that his brother is dead he returns home. He wants revenge. I liked his loyalty. I chuckled as Callum and his wolf arrived in Scotland. His enemies were not prepared for this Alpha hero. Rebecca, his brother's widow, fainted when she saw him. Callum had been her friend and she cared for him. Now he distrusts her. Did she help kill his brother? I loved how his six year old niece stole his heart and that of his wolf. I couldn't stop reading. I needed to find out how Rebecca and Callum would get their second chance. Their attraction was powerful. Their relationship sizzled as did their dialogue, but the head of clan Maxwell wants them dead. Can they get justice for the dead? Suzanne Enoch kept me on the edge of my seat. The action and the romance are non stop.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. My comments are my honest opinion.

I couldn't put this book down.
I loved the story so much that I read it in one day.

When Ian announces his engagement to Rebecca Callum realizes that he wanted her for himself. His brother banishes Callum and he goes to America now 10 years later he is returning to Scotland, his brother dead. The attraction between Callum and Rebecca is steal steaming and they must work together to get justice for Ian. Can they? This is a fast paced read with plenty of drama and suspense. I liked the story as well as the characters. The story is entertaining and held my interest throughout.

There is almost nothing I love more than a good Highland story and this book was no exception. Filled with murder, betrayal and some good old fashioned long anticipated romance, this is definitely a book worth sinking into on a cozy night. I normally prefer a bit more action as opposed to politics, but the author kept me hooked regardless.
Callum is my favorite kind of hero, the Alpha male who realizes when he gets put in his place and when to compromise. Plus...the man has a wolf....what else do you need?
This was my first book by the author and I look forward to many, many more!
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review.

A riveting story of betrayal, unfulfilled love, murder and a love that has no boundaries.

Callum MacCreath is the younger brother to Ian Earl of Geiry being only twenty he’s more interested in carousing and enjoying himself. Things take an unexpected turn when he learns that his brother decided to venture in business and partner with the evil Duke of Dunncraigh, to add insult to injury and what hurt the most is his brothers announcement that he became betrothed to Becca Sanderson. He’s devasted that he’s loosing the girl he has loved secretly. Unsuccessfully he tries to have her run away with him only to have his brother hear him, resulting in his banishiment from the clan.

Fast forward ten years and Callum is a rich man highly respected in America, learning of his brothers death he’s almost certain his death was nefarious and he knows exactly who had a hand in it....the Duke of Dunncraigh! Everyone is a suspect. He doesn’t believe that Becca wanted his brother dead but why is she thinking of marrying the Dukes son casts suspicions in her direction.
Sparks fly and emotions run high as Becca and Callum come together to solve Ian’s murder. Callum has a killer to catch a woman to court and a little imp to protect.

This was a fast action well paced adventure, full of suspense that kept things moving with much intrigue and mystery. Callum is a roguish devil that instils fear in the villagers, but is the total opposite when it comes to his niece Maggie .
Villains need to be slain before Callum and Becca get their happily ever after. Their connection is fiery and all consuming that defies all obstacles. A five star read that I highly highly recommend. Suzanne Enoch is a master story teller that weaves a magical world that leave the reader breathless! An outstanding EPIC read!

I recieved a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest unbiased review.

I really enjoyed Callum and Becca's story! Best friends growing up, Callum and Becca had a special bond, but Callum wasn't marriage material when he finally got around to asking for Becca's hand (plus she was already promised to someone else).

Fast forward 10 yrs and Callum has grown up and is a different man. He is determined to find out who murdered his brother even if it is his childhood friend. He doesn't count on being so attracted to the woman that scorned him all those years ago!!

I'm excited to see what Enoch has in store for use next!
