Callum left with a chip on his shoulder and he came BACK with an even larger chip on his shoulder. Not only that but he was stronger in body and mind. He was no longer the drunken sot who was wild with women. He is now a force to be reckoned with. And he is going to wipe off the face of the earth ANYONE who harmed his brother.

Becca is not the same woman that Callum had to leave behind. Yes, in some ways she is naive but in other ways she had to grow up. She was content with Ian but she still feels drawn to the wildness in Callum even though she fights it. That goes on for quite some time but so does the regrets that they re-hash. Especially Callum; in fact it slowed the story down quite a bit more than once. That would probably be the only negative thing I would say about this book.
It was different for the villains of the piece to be right there in everyone's face. Although Callum had to prove it to Becca at first. And that took some doing. But the people who had been in her life for ten years as "friends" helping her were smooth in their evil ways.
You just never knew how and when they were going to make their final strike. One of the errors they made was that they thought Callum was still that drunken, foolish boy that he was. They didn't even recognize that isn't who he became. They underestimated him Big Time.
Good ending with the additional perk of a Epilogue.

I was given the opportunity to read an advanced copy of A Devil in Scotland in exchange for an honest review. And, as a longtime Suzanne Enoch fan, I was very excited to read something new from her. I was not disappointed.

A Devil in Scotland is more than just Regency Romance. It has betrayal and Machiavellian family struggles. The hero, Callum, foreshadows the conflict. Ten years later, he returns to fulfill his vow, while learning who he can trust. Specifically, can he trust Becca? The Bonnie lass who chose his sensible brother and heir to the title, over the wild and drunken Callum. The story is a well-paced romantic adventure of the two falling in love.

While the adventure draws the reader into the dangers, there are no surprises. I still enjoyed the writing and the characters enough to recommend it.

Third volume in the No Ordinary Hero series of which I already reviewed the previous, My Own True Highlander, A Devil in Scotland wan easily be read alone even if there are some allusion to the previous stories quite late in the book.
We follow Callum when he learns of his brother’s death and comes back to Scotland resolute to avenge him, even from his widow if she’s accomplice.

CAllum was banished by his brother Ian ten years ago because he tried and failed to convince Rebecca to marry him instead of Ian the very night of their betrothal. He went to America where he made a fortune with several whisky distilleries, and he spent his time wrapping himself in his wounded pride and his offended susceptibility. He’s even been to the point where he asked his right-hand man to burn any letters from Scotland, even from his brother. But we see quite quickly how this affected him and shaped the man he’s now. He’s hard but fair to those serving him well and even if he stays resolute to avenge himself he’s not deaf to Rebecca’s arguments. He’s also a bit uncouth and accentuates this to shock his enemies.

Rebecca spent years repeating herself she made the best choice by marrying Ian instead of Callum, who was then a barfly who never sobered up and had sex with everything that moved. She lost her husband and her father in a few weeks time and she looks unfavorably on Callum’s return, because he disturbs her fragile equilibrium, and the accusations he throws to the duke to Dunncraigh and his son who helped her during her mourning. She’s still quite strong, she doesn’t hesitate to stand up to him, and tries to find new information to get the truth about those two deaths.
Between them the attraction is quite fast, each thinking first to past feelings, but they don’t yield easily to their desire, they take the time to learn who the other has become in ten years, which allows a lot of sexual tension between them.

The third main character is Rebecca’s six-years-old daughter who brings a little lightness to a somber story and allows to see a more kind side in Callum when he’s still very hard with everyone else.

On the plot side we follow Callum when he tries to find evidences for his suspicions, and the discoveries are slow to come, according to his deductions not always clear from an external point of view. But everything fits together quite well in the end, and the bad guy, who was also the bad guy in the previous volumes, finally gets what he deserves.

As for the fact the British law forbade a man to marry his brother’s widow, Callum very quickly threatens the duke’s son, who hopes to marry Rebecca, with the levirate marriage, tradition apparently tolerated in Scotland to allow lands and possessions to stay in a clan.

All in all it’s a pleasant historical romance but somber than the previous one, and I had a good reading time.

A Devil in Scotland is a well-paced, exciting addition to Enoch’s current series. Callum MacCreath is my favorite kind of alpha; humbled by life, dangerous, driven, deep passions, a dirty mouth, and a dark sense of humor. Rebecca felt rather flat in comparison to our charismatic hero. While her character evolved some through the book - and she did eventually find her voice - Rebecca started with a desire to do as others said and ended the book in the same vein. At one point, Callum says, “... in bed she came at him with a voraciousness that thrilled him...” and I just wish we’d seen more of that in action and deed. But lest you all think that my review is all complaints: it’s so refreshing to see an H & h be honest with each other and talk through issues; cheers to Suzanne Enoch for finding dialogue and drama that doesn’t revolve around her characters deceiving each other and being mad about said caption. Loved the humor in the book as well! Wee Mags’ description of kissing will pop a chuckle out of you before you realize you’ve read a joke. I wish that we could take Margaret (Mags) spunk and wit and transpose into Rebecca’s character! A number of times through the book I found myself hoping that Enoch will eventually give Mags a book of her own. And though I never really got a full sense of what sparked Rebecca’s passion, Callum’s was crystal clear and hot enough to inspire more than a few re-reads. All told, I very much enjoyed the book. I’ll happily suggest it to fans of Suzanne Enoch, and Scottish Regency romance as a whole.

The queen of the highlands is back! Yes, Suzanne Enoch is back with "A Devil in Scotland" and so is the nefarious Duke of Dunncraigh. We've been following the Duke and his schemes in this series and it seems that there is yet another he has wronged. But this time the hero isn't willing to back down.

Callum MacCreath is a twenty year old who has been drinking and whoring his days away without a care in the world when his brother Ian, the Earl of Geiry, announces that he is to wed their childhood friend, Rebecca "Becca" Sanderson. Callum is furious and isn't willing to let Ian have the girl of his dreams. And even though Becca cares about Callum, she feels that she can never be truly happy with someone who is so carefree and reckless. Ian is the trustworthy, safe brother. Ian, is everything that Callum isn't. So when Callum declares his love for his soon-to-be sister-in-law, he is banished from his home. With nothing more than the clothes on his back, he travels to America where we find him ten years later transformed into a completely new man. He is now the founder of the Kentucky Hills Distillery and has spent the last ten years proving to himself that he is much more than what his brother and the Duke of Dunncraigh accused him to be. He has no intention of going back to the highlands. That is until he learns, quite by chance, that his brother died in an accident. An accident that Callum believes to be anything but. And he knows just the man who is capable of orchestrating such a murder and is determined to return back to Scotland and make him and anyone else involved in the murder pay.

It has been a year and two months since Rebecca Sanderson MacCreath lost first her husband and then her father. She is now one of the most wealthy widows in all of Britain and it seems that there are a number of men waiting for her to come out of mourning to ask for her hand. She is certain that her husband's brother and heir to the title, Callum, is dead. So when he appears one day, out of the blue, at her house with a black wolf by his side she is shocked. He is no longer the reckless drunk that he once was and what is even more shocking is the allegations that he has come forth with. For he believes that her husband, his older brother, was murdered and Callum
is about to get revenge on all those involved.

I absolutely loved loved loved Callum. He may not be the most reasonable man you can meet, but he is just so lovable. With his sense of humour, his determination, his frankness and passion, he is the kind of highlander that all girls swoon over. This is not only a romance with sensual love scenes but also full of action which will
leave you sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for the hero and heroine to gather the evidence to finally put the Duke of Dunncraigh away.

A book full of quirky, lovable characters that will leave you wishing that it never ends! Another great novel by the queen of the highlands! Long live the queen!!!

The plots of Suzanne Enoch always bring something more than what is perceived on the surface.
At first we have the story of a young man - 20 years old - who lives his life fully, without thinking too much about the consequences.
Until his brother announces his engagement to someone Callum was interested in.
Callum tries to convince Rebecca to marry him, but this is witnessed by others and creates confusion, resulting in Callum's banishment from the clan.

He goes to America and there creates an empire of whiskey, as good Scotch he was.

Ten years later, Rebecca finds herself a widow, but Callum does not immediately appear, since he had cut off any contact with his brother and destroyed all his letters.
Until he learns of his brother death, but something there did not seem right.

Callum returned to claim his share of the inheritance, but deep down something mysterious was about to be discovered.

Callum and Rebecca meet again, now with no hindrance to being together, but would it be the whole truth?

A great story but with some obscure points, and I did not feel any connection with the female character.

It had been some time since I’d read one of Ms.Enoch’s novels, and she really does not disappoint. The hero is likeable and honorable. His relationship with his niece is just the sweetest thing. The heroine is delightful, too. You can really understand the reasoning behind her decisions. Overall, I really liked A Devil in Scotland. It had everything you look for in a romance, it was charming, funny, emotional and memorable to boot.

I loved this book! It had an explosive opening and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Callum MacCreath has returned to Scotland after 10 years in Kentucky to investigate his brother Ian's death. He's convinced he was murdered and knows that the chieftain of Clan Maxwell was involved. He just has to prove it, but first he needs to make sure Ian's widow, Rebecca, wasn't involved. Callum has loved Rebecca since his youth and was devastated when she married his older brother. Can he prove her innocence before the simmering passion between them explodes?

Ms. Enoch knows how to spin a masterful tale of love, loss, courage and redemption. I loved Callum, but mostly especially when he was interacting with his six year old niece, Margaret. The fact that he brought his black wolf with him back to Scotland only added another dimension to the story. Fans of Scottish romances will definitely enjoy this book.

Looking for a dashing Scottish romance? Look no further than Suzanne Enoch's A Devil in Scotland! The third book in the No Ordinary Hero series is the perfect combination of romance and intrigue.

When Callum MacCreath learns that his older brother, Ian, has died he returns to claim his estate and possibly his brother's widow. Rebecca Sanderson married Callum's brother because he provided safety where Callum was wild and immature. Returning to find his childhood friend is still in mourning for his brother and her father, Callum vows to make good on his promise from all those years ago. With his sidekick wolf, Waya, at his side Callum looks for proof that the Duke of Dunncraigh killed his brother.

Callum is the very definition of an extraordinary hero. Away from Scotland he made a living in Kentucky and grew into a self-sufficient man that works with his hands. He causes a stir when he returns home, immediately going after his enemies and traipsing around town with a wolf by his side. I love that this character knows what he wants, but is willing to compromise for love. Rebecca, once cleared of suspicion, helps Callum protect their family and her assets. These two characters balance each other out and keep readers guessing at which way they'll go, towards or away from each other.

Though Callum identifies his enemies from the start of the novel, the level of intrigue is still high. He strategizes and plots to take his revenge while avoiding the trickery of the Duke. It's exciting and just a tad suspenseful. Don't miss out on Suzanne Enoch's latest story. A Devil in Scotland is a lovely romance that draws you in and keeps you hanging on to every word!

I love this series and this is the third book in it. It's well written and the characters are well developed.

Callum is sent away when he throws a wobbler over the engagement of his brother Ian and childhood friend Becca. Ten years later and he's back, and his brother dead. Can he pick up the pieces of his past?

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!

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.

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.

✭✭✭✭⭑

I was provided a complementary ARC by St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley. This is my honest review for which I am not being compensated in any way.

Don’t you just love that cover? She’s gorgeous and he’s pretty hot, too! And a guy in a kilt. What’s not to like? Well, the book lives up to the brag here…

Callum MacCreath is a hot-headed, heavy-drinking 20 year-old when his brother, the earl, banishes him. He leaves with not much more than the shirt on his back and takes off to the colonies, Kentucky to be specific. There he establishes a distillery that now, 10 years later, is considered the best whiskey not made in Scotland. In fact, they import it to Scotland! He’s grown into his full manhood and is a large man. He also has a large black wolf that walks by his side. Yes, a wolf, a real wolf. Four paws, large teeth, yellow eyes, black fur, nasty disposition. Yup, that’s it. Her name is Waya and she follows her Alpha, Callum, since he rescued her as a pup. When he left Scotland, he vowed that when, not if, but when the Maxwell chieftain harmed his brother, he’d be back to “do him”. Well, Callum, by chance, has just found out that his brother and his brother’s father-in-law are dead within two weeks of each other about a year ago. Newspapers, travel slowly to the colonies.

So, now he’s back to take care of business. First thing he discovers is that his pack has grown by one. His brother had a daughter. Lady Margaret, Lady Mags as the servants call her, is all of 6 years-old and as feisty as they come with all the charm of a successful debuttante. It takes about 10 seconds for her to wrap him around her little finger, and he realizes it and accepts it. Waya accepts her, too.

He has a little bit harder time accepting his sister-in-law, Rebecca, as innocent of complicity in his brother’s death and as part of his pack. But eventually he figures it out and falls for her again, if he ever had not been in love with her all those ten years away. But she’s promised to the Duke of Dunncraigh’s son. That would be The Maxwell’s son. The Duke and son have been so good to her since her husband and father died. They’ve taken on the burden of the business so that she didn’t have to worry about all that and make all the decisions. She didn’t even have to sign anything. Rebecca wanted real proof that the Duke and his son had done what Callum was accusing them of. Callum was having trouble finding hard evidence. The two men had had a year to hide it all.

Rebecca invites the Duchess to tea in town and the Duke joins them. While the mansion is empty, Callum breaks in and steals the evidence, and there’s plenty there. But Rebecca is still hesitant.

Lady Mags liked to have her father read to her at bedtime. So Uncle Callum is filling in since he’s there. He recognizes the old Mother Goose book from when he and Ian had been in the nursery. It’s old and tattered. In fact the cover was coming loose so much on the left corner that he couldn’t help but pick at it. And what did he find, but a letter from his brother addressed to him! He turned storytime over to the nanny and went in search of Rebecca to share his find. She was finally convinced when she read her late husband’s words.

A shot and a high scream warns them that things have gone terribly wrong. Waya is wounded while guarding Lady Mags and Mags has been taken by the Maxwells. Well, you know how these things go in romances. The hero always saves the day, and this story follows the formula. Callum, Rebecca, and Mags end up at home with Waya recovering from her gunshot. They also end up married, especially since it’s such a tradition in the highlands to marry you brother’s widow to keep clan and property in the family.

Well, Callum, in the face-off, had had to kill The Maxwell to save Lady Mags’ life, so the Clan Maxwell is short one chief. His son would have normally stepped into the role, but he was headed to England to face the courts and they didn’t plan on his coming back for many, many years with all the evidence they had against him. Callum wasn’t the only one looking at the evidence; they called in lawyers and other lords as well. Well, all these important people put their heads together and came up with a solution they thought rather neat. If they made Callum The Maxwell, it would solve the problem. One, he didn’t want the position, which made him perfect for it in their eyes. A man who doesn’t want power will handle it very carefully. Much better than a man who wants it. Two, people tended to listen to him already when he spoke and he was used to handling groups of men from his work in his distillery. Three, he was already there in the position he now filled as Earl Geiry. His wife thought he’d make a fine chieftain for all of those reasons. He was finally convinced that it would work for those very reasons and he settled in with his now pregnant wife, Rebecca, his now daughter, Lady Mags, his wolf, Waya, and another child on the way to be the new Clan Maxwell chieftain.

It was a foreseeable solution, but it was done rather well, I thought. This whole book is done rather well. The cover is done in that passionate red with him in his kilt and her in her bright blue gown. Very eye-catching. The story was a nice adaptation to a standard romance formula. The wolf was a fun touch. The characters were written very well. From the beginning we knew just what type of person Callum was with his hot temper. Rebecca wanted peace from the beginning all the way to the end. She dithered around it the whole time. Mags was a full-steam-ahead well-loved six year-old who knew what she wanted and what was really important to her. Even the butler was well-done with his loyalty. The bad guy, The Duke of Dunncraigh, was certainly done thoroughly. He was nasty from the word go. You knew before you even got to the stand-off that he didn’t plan on any of them living through that event and that he would start with Mags. Evil through and through. There was some wheel-spinning here and there in the pace, but for the most part things moved along smoothly and fast. And the tension builds and teases you all the way to the end. All in all, a fun read and certainly worth picking up when it is released on the 30th of this month!
