This is the story of revenge and redemption. It took me a while to warm up to characters on this book. The opening chapter really had me aghast at how massive that moment destroyed the (supposedly closed) relationship between brothers and good friends. And Callum and Rebecca didn’t really help matters with the way they acted when they reunited. To be fair, it also means the author brilliantly play with my emotions through the conduct of her characters. Ms. Enoch is clever like that, making readers - as in moi - love to hate the MCs, then grudgingly supporting said MCs to get what they desired.

A Devil in Scotland continues the “No Ordinary Hero” series, and took place in Inverness opposing the Maxwell clan Chief himself - the Duke of Dunncraigh who had been the bane of his people’s life since the first book in the series. Just as the previous installments, the story is also told from the hero and heroine’s POVs alternately in third person.

Having following this series had me familiar with Dunncraigh and his son’s cunning and villainous way. Thus, it was rather frustrating how gullible Rebecca (and Callum’s late brother, Ian) was towards these men. I mean, yegads woman, didn’t you hear RUMORS about the Maxwell Chief and at least WONDER about it?!?! Considering Rebecca supposed to be rather close to Callum for years, I was flabbergasted how quick she was to believe the worst of Callum.

Granted, Callum and his mad, drunken conduct and self-righteousness over thought of being wronged (by his nearest and dearest) didn’t make matter easier. But at least grudgingly he then admitted (to himself) that he made mistakes and TRY TO MAKE AMENDS. Rebecca still wondered if there were actually reasons for the Duke and his son for doing what they were doing even when they found proof of the wrong they did!! I mean come on!! I almost wish there were another female character to win Callum’s heart instead of her!

It’s clear the bad guy from the good guy in this book, so the question was only how to get the upper hand. I thought it’s relatively trouble-free for Callum to snoop around, yet considering what he knew about his opponent and the prevention step he took, how easy the tide had turned. In fact, what happened was rather predictable you just need to glance at the page to know trouble was coming, that I thought how careless and easily led by lust our characters were!! At least - again - Callum proved his worth by the action he took to try to salvage the situation.

Annoyance aside, this book is a paramount addition to the series with the way the development unfolded. Of course I would suggest this series to be read in consecutive order as to follow the circumstances that happened here chronologically. With the way A Devil in Scotland ended, it’s more likely this book is the last of the series. Although personally, I’m all for any spinoff from this series (there were three younger siblings of Lord Maxton’s from My One True Highlander to be considered! *wink*) or any new ones from this author, really!


Advanced copy of this book is kindly given by the author/publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I typically enjoy friends-to-lovers/childhood friends romances, but that was not the case with this novel. I did not enjoy the male lead whatsoever for multiple reasons. Nor did I feel he was a good fit for Rebecca, who I did like. She seemed sensible and good-natured compared near-Neanderthal like man’s man that Callum came off as.

Enoch has simple styles, that flows easily but the story wasn’t anything new or special. I found it dragged a bit at spots and couldn’t keep my interest at all in others.

I would consider reading from this author again because I liked her literary voice. I just didn’t enjoy the story.

Extraordinary! Suzanne Enoch’s detailed descriptive narrative places the reader firmly in 1800’s Scotland. I felt as if I was surrounded by the sights, sounds and character of Inverness. I struggled to put it down because I just couldn’t wait to see what happened next.
Rebecca Sanderson and Callum had been friends for ten years when his older brother, Ian Lord Geiry became engaged to Rebecca to forge a deal in the shipping business with her father, leasing the docks from Dunncraigh, the head of Clan Maxwell. Drunk and upset about this turn of events Callum quickly crosses a line and is banished from the Geiry house forever.
Ten years later when Callum hears of the death of his brother, he returns to the Geiry estate as the Lord, and as quite a different person altogether. Rich and powerful with a Wolf by his side he is ready to prove that his brother’s death was not an accident. Becca is outraged when Callum threatens to take her daughter away from her as well as not allowing her suitor the Dunncraig’s son and heir, in the House. Loved the interaction between Callum his niece Maggie as well as Waya the wolf. But as Becca and Callum tangle with each other, intense feelings of attraction are hard to resist. But as danger rears it’s ugly head, is anyone safe? How does it all end? You will need to read to find out.
This second chance historical romance was intense, filled with angst, intrigue, suspense, betrayal and Love. Excellent characters. Everything is just so well thought out and detailed. I loved the build and pace. It was just so exciting as well as heartwarmingly romantic with the perfect amount of heat. I Loved Rebecca and Callum’s story. And so will you!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is sweet, sad, intriguing and suspenseful. Calling is stubborn, angry, cold and suspicious. Rebecca is cold, naive and headstrong. 10 years after being run out of the country, Callum is back for revenge. But he finds himself fighting his old feelings for her. She wants nothing to do with him, but can't help her self the feelings being around him. It's a thoroughly enjoyable read and I loved the end.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

This was my first Suzanne Enoch book and while it is part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone.

Second-Chance romance is my favorite kind of story to read. Throw in a Highlander, a strong-willed heroine, a dash of humor, some witty banter, and a heaping dose of romance and you've given me the recipe for a happy reading experience. Usually.

But unfortunately, A Devil In Scotland fell short for me. The tension between Callum and Becca was vast and at times, palpable, but lacked any kind of humor to balance it out. Their banter was less witty and more scathing, and I found myself wondering, on more than one occasion, what Becca saw in Callum (aside from broad shoulders and a kilt) because to be honest, the guy was a jerk. Except when he was interacting with Margaret, who stole every scene she was in, then he was tolerable.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

That was a story with some incredible twists. Callum is quite a complex character but with his heart in the right place. And so angry. It’s interesting to read about their love and it’s development.

A Devil In Scotland by Suzanne Enoch
No Ordinary Hero #3

Rebecca “Becca” Sanderson made a choice in 1806 – a choice whether to marry the older MacCreath brother or his younger brother. With societies expectations, her father’s business to go to her eventual spouse and in need of stability she chose Ian rather than Callum in a scene that would haunt all three of them for years. Callum is banished and never reads a missive from Scotland again…which he might regret later on…

Ten years later…Callum hears of his brother’s death and is off to Scotland to seek vengeance. He knows that his brother was murdered and wants all involved, no matter who they may be, to pay for it. He has turned his back on his drunken profligate ways and become a man of substance with a healthy whisky business based in Kentucky and distribution to a number of countries. When he arrives in Scotland he sets in motion the comeuppance of the evil person that has been the villain across this series.

While Callum has grown in more ways than one Becca seems a bit more complacent having fallen into the expected role of a woman with status, wealthy titled husband and one child. She is looking forward to a future that will remain stable and secure and, in my mind, is a wee bit too accepting of all she is told and all she allows to happen – until Callum returns.

Margaret (Maggie-Mags), Becca’s daughter, steals Callum’s heart from their first encounter and Callum’s wolf companion endears herself to Maggie immediately. With Becca to convince of her husband’s murder, evidence to find to prove said murder, a villain to thwart and banked embers of childhood love to fan the embers of this is an action-packed story that I truly enjoyed. I also appreciated that it seemed believable…I may not have agreed with Becca’s choices but I did understand them and I can see how Callum managed to grow up and become so much more than he was when he left home. I enjoyed the entire series and look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC – This is my honest review.

4-5 Stars

Okay, so... this book just wasn't for me. The hero was so angry all the time, and I'm so angry, from reading the news all the time, that I couldn't handle it. I'm sure other people will like this story better than I did, but I just couldn't get into it, but that's mainly based on my own circumstances and I generally love Suzanne Enoch. I just couldn't this time around.

It is 1816 and Callum McCreath is doing well with his whiskey business in Kentucky. He has completely ignored his family in Scotland since he left 10 years ago. Now he happens to see a newspaper from home with an article about his brother's death at home. He has to go back because he really feels his brother's death was not an accident. Their childhood friend is now the widow. Did she have a hand in Ian's death? But then her father died and that made her look more innocent. There is a child, Mags who steals Callum's heart the day he meets her. His wolf companion is to spend most of her time protecting the child. The partners are men who Callum does not trust and is sure they are behind the two deaths. He has to prove it to get Becca to help expose the killers.

A Devil in Scotland was a fabulous historical romance about a charming and reckless hero on a quest for vengeance and the stubborn heroine who gets in the way of his plans.

When Callum MacCreath’s brother Ian announces his engagement to their childhood friend Rebecca Sanderson, Callum realizes too late that he wants to marry her himself. After Ian overhears a harsh conversation between Callum and Rebecca regarding the engagement, he banishes Callum from Scotland forever. A decade later, Callum returns to Scotland upon hearing of his brother’s death determined to find those responsible. When he encounters Rebecca again after all these years he’s unsure if he can trust her, but he cannot deny the wild attraction between them. On his quest for vengeance Callum will be faced with a choice, revenge or love?

Upon first meeting Rebecca in the prologue, I almost instantly disliked her as she came across as a woman only interested in money and status. Over time I came to like her more as we learned more about her but that initial impression was a bit jarring. Rebecca tends to be a logical person and sticks to the safer paths in life. She’s English and moved to Scotland as a child, but despite living in Scotland for nearly twenty years she’s still a bit of an outsider. After getting involved in Callum’s plans, you see a different side to Rebecca showing that she’s capable of subterfuge and she comes up with better plans than Callum due to her logical nature.

In the prologue, Callum is shown to be a drunk and a bit of a womanizer. After his banishment forced him to grow up, Callum couldn’t be further from who he was in that initial scene. He now operates one of the best whiskey distilleries with several warehouses in America and Scotland. He’s made quite the name for himself and is independently wealthy. Callum has a larger than life presence and his wolf companion Waya only adds to his devilish appearance. After living in America during a time of much turmoil, Callum has gotten used to being a bit uncivilized and finds himself having to reign himself in while in Scotland.

Rebecca and Callum’s relationship doesn’t start off well when he returns as the two don’t trust each other. Slowly they learn to trust each other which in large part has to do with Rebecca’s daughter Mags. Callum completely adores her immediately which goes a long way towards thawing Rebecca’s heart. Callum came to respect Rebecca’s opinion and would even ask for her input and while Callum is protective by nature, he understood Rebecca was capable of taking care of herself. When their attraction escalates and their relationship turns physical, it was very sexy and wonderfully done. Levirate marriage, a man marrying his brother’s widow, came up several times which threw me off as I’m so used to English historical romances where that’s illegal.

It’s obvious from the beginning who was responsible for Ian’s death, but that didn’t detract from the story in any way. To me this book was more about how Callum would avenge Ian and what the consequences to him would be. The side characters in this book were very well done and my favorites were Waya and Mags. I was surprised by how much I liked Mags as I’m not usually a fan of children as characters in my romances, but she was an absolute delight. Waya is simply the best and I adored her and loved her bond with Callum.

I was initially hesitant to pick up A Devil in Scotland as I didn’t like the author’s story in the anthology Christmas Brides, but I’m so glad I decided to give the author a second shot. I ended up really enjoying this book and plan to read more from her in the future. I definitely recommend this book to fans of the alpha male Scottish hero type.

I was mesmerized by the wonderfully well-written story right through the last page. As I grew to know the characters better and better, I was drawn more deeply into their stories. The planning, plotting, writing and execution of this book was flawless from beginning to end. You’ll fall helplessly in love with Callum from the immature, misguided, wild, reckless, hurt, and angry young man of twenty through the mature, vengeful, protective and very loving man of thirty. I didn’t want the book to end, but it was a delightful wrap-up to the series. You can read this as a stand-alone book even though it is part of a series. I read the first two books and loved them, so I’m glad I read them all.

The story opens in 1806 (near Inverness, Scotland) with a gut-wrenching scene. Callum is drunk and has just returned home from a period of drinking and wenching to learn that his brother, Ian, is now engaged to Callum’s long-time friend – Rebecca. Callum realizes that maybe he cares more for Rebecca than he realized and asks her to run away with him instead. Rebecca isn’t ‘in love’ with Ian, but she does love him and thinks that he’ll be a good, safe, steady husband for her and any children they have. She cares for Callum too but is smart enough to know that the raw, immature young man he is would not be good husband material. To add fat-to-the-fire, the Duke of Dunncraigh and his son are also there that night. Callum doesn’t trust the duke and thinks that he has some nefarious scheme afoot. When Ian overhears what Callum says to Rebecca, he orders him out of the house and tells him never to return. Callum goes, but before he does, he tries one last time to warn Ian about Dunncraigh – and he tells Dunncraigh that if anything happens to Ian, he’ll be back for vengeance – to end him.

Ten years later, Callum is in Kentucky – a very rich and successful distiller. He has abided by his brothers demand and has not made a return to Scotland. After about five years, his brother had spent a great deal of money to find him, but Callum did not read the letters at all. He just had his clerk burn them as soon as they arrived. Then, a fragment of a newspaper article caught the attention of his aid – and when Callum saw it, he knew – he just knew – that Ian had been murdered – and he knew who to punish for it. So, he was off on his journey back to Scotland. His biggest concern was how many were involved – was Rebecca involved? He didn’t care who or how many – they would all pay.

When Callum arrives in Inverness, he is remembered and treated as the wayward young man he had been ten years earlier. That was good. It was better they had no idea with whom they were now dealing. Then – plans abruptly change – he discovers his six-year-old niece and immediately loves her. That means he now has to keep her safe, figure out where Rebecca fits into the picture and punish the guilty parties.

What a wonderfully engrossing tale. You’ll love Callum and Rebecca as they get to know each other as the adults they are today rather than the children they were ten years ago. You’ll also love ‘Mags’ – Lady Margaret – Callum’s niece. She’s small, intelligent, curious, precocious, and has her uncle wrapped around her finger. Waya, the wolf is also exceptional and is gracious enough to accept Mags into her pack.

Publisher's Description:
The dawning of desire
1806, Scotland. Wild, reckless Callum MacCreath is in no hurry to become someone’s husband. But when his responsible, steady older brother Ian announces his engagement to their childhood friend Rebecca, Callum makes a startling discovery: he wants the lovely young lass for himself. But it’s too late, and when Ian banishes him for his duplicity, Callum is only too happy to leave Scotland forever.

…is delicious and dangerous
1816: Marrying Ian was the practical, logical thing for Becca to do. But once Callum sailed away to America, she missed his rakish charm and lust for life. Now Becca is a widow when a much-changed Callum returns to his Scottish homeland. Will he remember their spirited, fiery connection or does he blame her for his brother’s unexpected death? This time neither of them can deny their scorching attraction. But will their hearts be burned in the blazing heat of scandal?

My Thoughts:

I have loved all of the books I have read by Suzanne Enoch. She quickly became a favorite author of mine.
This is the third book in the No Ordinary Hero series.
Callum has always been a bit of a scoundrel. When he discovers Ian has asked Rebecca to marry him, Callum suddenly realizes he wants their childhood friend for himself but when he asks her to elope with him she tells him he is a drunken boy.
Ian and his guest overhear and this leads to Callum's banishment from his home and eventually from Scotland. But before he leaves he tells the unscrupulous Duke that he will return to kill him if anything happens to his brother.
Ten years later in Kentucky, Callum learns of his brother's demise and returns to Scotland with murder on his mind.
He is certain that Ian's death was certainly not the accident it was thought to be after all Ian couldn't possibly have drown.
Callum is sure it was murder and also suspects that Becca's father was murdered too.
Did Rebecca have a hand in her husband and father's demise.
It is love at first sight when Callum meets his young niece.
Margaret is a precocious six year old who becomes enchanted with Callum's wolf, Waya. She quickly claims the wolf as her own even though she already has a dog, and wraps Callum around her little finger.
Will Callum and Becca be able to crack the mystery of Ian's death?
Will their search for the truth bring them back together in a second chance at love?
I gave this well written and enchanting title 4.75 of 5.0 stars for storyline and character development and a sensual rating of 4 of 5 flames. When Callum and Rebecca come back together it leads to a very heated relationship.
I received a complimentary digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley to read and review. This in no way affected my opinion of this book which I read and reviewed voluntarily.

this is a bit of a reunion story in that the h/h were childhood friends but haven't seen or heard from each other in 10 years after Callum left Scotland for America upon the Rebecca's engagement to his broth Ian (Callum didn't take the news of the engagement or some new business deals Ian was agreeing to at the time well, to put it mildly). i wasn't sure about Callum & Rebecca at the start of the book. He seemed arrogant, mean, angry and stubborn while she seemed to be a bit of a shrew, haughty, and weak (wanting to avoid unpleasantness & willing to let the males take care of things). Callum was convinced beyond that his brother's death was anything but accidental though no reason for that conviction is presented till well into the book other than his long standing distrust of his brother's business partners and his initial suspicions regarding Rebecca's involvement seemed both unfounded and a bit spiteful. Luckily, as the story unfolds and the 2 interact and begin to recall their youthful friendship and realize that the affection (more than friendly that wasn't never realized at the time) is rediscovered both characters become more rounded and balanced. it was nice to see Callum bend and mellow a little while Rebecca rediscovered both her backbone and spirit that she had during their childhood adventures and when they worked together they worked well together. plus there is definitely chemistry between the 2 now that they are 10 years older & wiser. Mags and Waya were fun additional characters and the villains were appropriately in need of a good take down (in more ways than one). Although part of a series, it is only loosely tied to the prior books (the villain of this book causes issues in the prior books as well) with the h/h from those books being briefly mentioned and making only a brief appearance at the end of the book. Therefore it works well as an stand alone and came to a satisfactory conclusion.

Callum MacCreath was a wild & reckless young man when his brother Ian banished him in1806. Now ten years later he owns a distilling company in Kentucky when reads that Ian has drowned, the same Ian who could swim like a fish. For years Callum & Rebecca Sanderson had been best friends & he always thought they would marry but when he learns she’s engaged to Ian well the argument resulted in Callum’s banishment.
Now Becca is a widow when a much-changed Callum returns to his Scottish homeland. She also has a six year old daughter Margaret. Callum is nothing like the drunken youth who left but means to get to the bottom of Ian’s & Recca’s father’s deaths.
This is the third book in the series & like the previous two books it’s an engrossing absorbing read. The characters come alive the more you read & the story had me gripped from the beginning. Of course Mags & Waya steal the book for me & endeared me to Callum even more. Ecca has also matured & is willing to fight for what she wants, Callum is still a hothead at times but has learnt to curb his temper. If you like a tepid romance with two dimensional characters then this isn’t for you but if you love strong characters within a strong story then like me you’ll relish every page of this five star read. I so look forward to more from the author
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

This was my first Suzanne Enoch, and only my second or third historical romance about highlanders. You know you found a great book when you immediately go on Goodreads and start marking all of their previously published books as "To Read," haha.

I love Suzanne Enoch's writing style. Her characters are so multi-faceted and full of depth, flaws, and redeeming qualities. The dialogue is wonderful and often witty. Both our hero (Callum) and our heroine (Rebecca) go through quite a journey of personal growth, after suffering a significant amount of pain and heartache. I love that Callum and Rebecca were childhood besties, and that Callum doesn't even realize his feelings for her until he finds out she's engaged to his brother. I also really appreciate that while young Becca is drawn to Callum, she also knows she needs to make a wise decision for her future and the drunken, volatile brother is not that choice. This is a friends to lovers story while also being a second chance romance and, because of the situation that brings them back together, also sort of an enemies to lovers story as well. It's so multi-layered and multi-faceted, and Enoch weaves it all together with great skill. I had a really hard time putting this book down!

I thought I was nae going to like all the Scottish accents, ye ken, but it wasnae too annoying for me. I think that consistency and moderation are key when writing dialects authentically, and if the whole book had been full of spellings like "oot" for "out" and whatnot, I'd have DNF'd this in a hot minute. Mostly it was use of aye, nae, and ken to give the Highlanders an authentic feel to their dialogue, which kept me remembering where we were set (like you could forget with all the men in kilts!!) without alienating me as a reader. Enoch manages to strike a really great balance, which I think can be difficult to do.

This is the third book in a series. It does touch on the plotlines for the first two books, including what is likely plot twists and outcomes of plotlines. The characters/plotlines from the previous two books have some bearing on what happens in this book, but what you need to know to understand is covered/recapped in this book so it doesn't affect the readability at all. While this book can definitely be read as a stand alone, beware spoilers for the previous two books. If you really care about that sort of thing, read Hero in the Highlands (No Ordinary Hero #1) and My One True Highlander (No Ordinary Hero #2) first.

As stories go this kept me hooked and turning the pages. As a romance though I am not sure it hit all the marks. So we net out at 4 stars.

The mystery plot overtakes the romance. Our hero and heroine are investigating his brother (her now deceased husband)'s and her father's death, trying to get evidence against some powerful villains and plot for justice while staying safe - it doesn't exactly leave much room and time for sweet and romantic. They go to a dance as a strategic move against the villains and much of their time is spent judging the villains reactions.

I wish Enoch gave us at least some frivulous fun moments with just the two of them. Or some flashback moments. Callum and Rebecca were childhood friends. The book opens on the explosive scene where he discovers she is betrothed to his brother and finds out his feelings for her may be more than he thought. But here he is angry, not romantic. We never got to see them just be them or see the moments of their earlier bond.

The new Callum is improved and it's suggested that she is too. But I want to see that bond between them beyond the physical attraction, and the fact he is caring, great with her daughter, and now much more responsible.

That said writing is top notch. The scene where Callum visit his brother's grave was handled with the right tone and the conversation he had with his brother there was very much how I imagine 2 brothers to talk. I also enjoy seeing Callum revise what his end goal was as the story progresses and he falls for Rebecca all over again.

A Devil in Scotland by Suzanne Enoch is part of her No Ordinary Hero series. The setting is in Scotland and the main character has a scottish brogue that could warm your heart. Too bad he is headstrong, overbearing and a drunk. Rebecca could not marry a boy like that, so she chose his older brother Ian to marry and Callum went off to America to find his way. Move ahead a number of years and Callum discovers his brother is dead (and he suspects murdered), just as he feared before he left. Callum goes back to Scotland to find the truth and finds Ian’s widow, just as beautiful and attractive as she was 10 years ago and he has a small niece Maggie, who wins his heart immediately. Now all he has to do is find and prove who murdered Ian, marry Rebecca, protect Maggie and become the man he should be… OH and he is HOT.
Callum and Rebecca never had a chance in the past, but might in the future if Callum can confront and remove the people who Rebecca thought were taking care of her, but who were not. Callum is like a bull in a china shop who has no subtly or underhanded moves. He moves ever forward in his quest, but Rebecca is afraid she and Maggie will be left alone again by him.
A Devil in Scotland by Suzanne Enoch is a hot historical romance. The characters are not run of the mill and the story line is intricate enough to be interesting. Callum and Rebecca are constantly at each other whether fighting or loving and Maggie is cute. A Devil in Scotland by Suzanne Enoch is a good read.

Author Suzanne Enoch has a real winner in this book, A Devil in Scotland. This story has so much going just right to make it a book the reader won't want to put down. There's love and passion, a lot of suspense and a wonderful Happily Ever After. I was thrilled with all these aspects of a well-plotted, well-developed storyline. I loved the main characters as well as the secondary characters and disliked the villains. Six year old Margaret and the wolf Waya added so much to the story. I wanted to be included in their pack.

I voluntarily read an ARC provided by the publisher through NetGally for an honest review.

This one was so full of adventure and plot. The characters had such a back story and obstacles ahead of them that I was 80% done with the book and thinking there was no way I was more than 50% done. It could have gone on for so much more, but loved every second of it. It was entertaining, complex, passionate, and downright good. Callum had a lot of resentment to overcome before he could trust Becca again. Ten years is a long time to hold a grudge and think the worst of someone. She has buried a husband and a father and is looking to marry a man she has been friends with for ten years through his partnership with her late husband. What she doesn’t expect, or want, is Callum, her brother in law, to storm back into her life and accuse her of having something to do with his brother's death and spouting notions of vengeance against a man who has been nothing but kind to her during the past 14 months. He is so sure of his suspicions and she can’t help remember a time when they had been, friends though he broke her heart 10 years ago, that he draws her back in, in spite of herself. They didn’t come together ten years ago but now as they hunt for proof of murder conspiracies they can’t help but finally see in each other their other half.  Their story was great, loved it and will have to go back and read book 1 and 2.
