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 book was just okay for me. The characters weren’t very interesting and I didn’t like the plot. The heroine married the hero’s brother because the hero didn’t have the good sense to propose to her first. Also the heroine thought the hero’s brother would make a more stable and reliable husband. She was a heiress and her husband wasn’t a bad man. She didn’t feel particularly passionate about him, but that was fine by her because she didn’t have very many choices. So, the hero leaves the country to make a fortune in the whiskey industry in America as a self-made man. After the hero’s brother passes away, due the social and legal strictures of the times, the heroine’s survival and her son’s future depend on her remarrying. However, when the hero finds out about his brother’s death, the hero returns to Scotland. Due to inheritance laws, he is the legal guardian of the heroine’s son, his nephew. However, the heroine plans to marry the villain in this story, whom the hero believes is responsible for his brother’s death. He just doesn’t know if the heroine had conspired with the villain, so he stipulates that if the heroine doesn’t want to be separated from her son, she can’t leave his castle. This makes the heroine essentially the hero’s prisoner, whether or not he has good intentions to protect her and her son from the fortune-seeking villain. And then, of course, the heroine falls in love with her captor. This trope is so old-fashioned and distasteful I just couldn’t get on board. I wanted the heroine to think outside the box and do something instead of having to rely on a man to fix things for her. In that sense, I found the hero to be ordinary unfortunately.

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.

Even if the idea was not bad, I found this book boring most of the times, also when it was one of my favorite story: the one that starts with a misunderstanding that can totally ruin the HEA. Plus I have to say I didn't get attached neither to Callum or to Rachel, so it was like watching a film from afar, and not being so much interested also.

Anche se l'idea iniziale non era niente male, purtroppo questo libro mi ha annoiato anche se partiva da uno dei miei problemi preferiti: l'incomprensione. Inoltre nè Rachel nè Callum mi sono piaciuti particolarmente quindi piú che leggere un bel libro mi sembrava di guardare un brutto film da lontano, senza averne nessun interesse tra l'altro.

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

I received with thanks an ARC copy of A Devil in Scotland from St. Martin's Press & Netgalley.

This is my true and honest review of A Devil in Scotland. This is set for release / publication on 30th January 2018.

I really liked this novel. Author Suzanne Enoch knows how to write historical romance and knows how to keep you wanting more. This book had everything I could want from historical romance, Love, Intrigue and a hot romance. If you love historical romance then defiantly read this gem.

This is the first time I am reading a book by this author and I am impressed how beautifully the story unfolds and progressed and how effortlessly the characters move from friends to lover / enemy to lover relationship. The flow of the story was very believable and same for the progression of the change in relationship. Definitely would be reading more books from this author in future

A Devil in Scotland by Suzanne Enoch

Third in the No Ordinary Hero series

4.5 stars

Callum McCreath is banished from his home in Inverness, Scotland when he disrupts and make a big display about his childhood friend, Rebecca, marrying his older brother, Lord Geiry (Ian). He wants her to bequeath his brother and runaway with him, but Rebecca refuses and a huge embarrassing debacle ensues. (This all occurs in the prologue; it’s very entertaining.) Flash forward ten years, Callum is the owner of an elite distillery in Kentucky and has severed all ties Scotland, but the letters have kept coming and no matter and quickly he burns them, there are more. Callum learns that his brother Ian has died in a convenient drowning accident and knows that has to return to Scotland and avenge his brother’s death. When he arrives in Scotland, he must unearth whether or not Rebecca was an accomplice in Ian’s death. That’s all I’ll say. I loved this historical romance novel so much. It’s an absolute favorite of mine. I recently have felt like I may never find another HR that I would love. I find one every now and then, but my hope has been slowly dipping. I just loved this one so much and I should’ve hated it because it has my least favorite trope ever. I read another book earlier this year that touched on the trope and it made me cringe, but the way that Enoch presents the sibling death unites lovers together trope in an understandable light. Callum and Rebecca have a past they aren’t complete strangers (which would have, for sure, turned me off from this story if that was the case) and because there’s this added layer of guilt about loving/not loving/hating each other it made this so much fun to fly through.


Suzanne Enoch’s writing style flows seamlessly off the page. It is so easy to become immersed in this plot for vengeance and uncovering if the person who is suspected did it or not (even though it was obvious that he did) and it was just so much fun. I just really loved getting swept away in the story and following Callum and Rebecca as they juggled Scotland as outsiders who have been there before. (Callum is Scottish, but has been gone for ten years; Rebecca is from England, but has lived in Scotland since she was about eight or nine.) It's really interesting to see the dynamic of belonging, but outsiders.


Whimsical Writing Scale: 4.5

The main male character is Callum. I loved Callum. He was brash and angry, but he was also fierce, loyal, and protective. I can’t blame him for being angry since his brother was killed by the man he had told him that would. Also, he threw a man who didn’t know when to shut his mouth out of a window. 10/10 He also has a wolf and I loved their dynamic. I was also a huge fan of his relationship with Maggie, his niece. He loves her so much and even though their relationship is new, it is very strong and the love is very pure. It’s adorable. He is a lot like, Waya, his wolf. He seems scary, but he is loving and caring to those who earn his trust.


Swoon Worthy Scale: 5

The female character is Rebecca. I’ll be honest, Rebecca isn’t the most compelling part of this novel. She is strong, fierce, and resilient, but she didn’t win me over until I was a couple chapters in. I think that she wasn’t as fleshed out as Callum and this was a slight hinderance, but her PoV wasn’t introduced until a couple of chapters in. However, she grew on me quickly and I really enjoyed her and was rooting for her by the end.


Kick- Butt Heroine Scale: 4

The Villain- It was obvious from the beginning, but that didn’t make it any less fun. I was definitely not expecting that showdown to go the way it did. It was intense. The good thing about these villains were that they were actually appalling. Usually, in HRs they are typical and boring, but these villains were grinding my gears


Villain Scale: 4

My favorite character in this novel was Mags. I love when kids are introduced in HRs because they are usually the strongest parts of the novel and her relationships were prevalent with the central characters. Plus, she is so sassy and confident. I would love to see a novel where she is grown up and running the distillery in Kentucky. It would give me life.


Character Scale: 5

This novel is cheesy and I know a lot of people will not like it, but I loved it. I thought it was so much fun and it’s one of the best historical romances that I’ve read in quite some time. It was refreshing to get lost in the story. The only real problem I have with this is the epilogue. I would’ve loved for it to have just ended, but the epilogue felt all over the place with characters being introduced that I didn’t know and then of course, there is a pregnancy reveal. It’s so cliché. Every HR ends with a pregnancy reveal, “You’ll have a present to open in six months,” this is literally from this novel and twenty other ones I’ve read. Still it’s a minor complaint and it’s so minuscule that it doesn’t take away from the overall arc of the story. I was pleasantly surprised and so glad that I picked this one up.


Plotastic Scale: 5

Cover Thoughts: It’s simple and like all the others, but the colors are striking.

Thank you, Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Callum MacCreath is from Scotland and residing in Kentucky. He owns a distillery, warehouses and such. The last time he saw his older brother,it was not on good terms. But he had changed. Rebecca is the girl, he and his brother argued about. She felt Ian was more stable and reliable and that is what she needed.
Now ten years later, he finds out his brother is dead. What happened? He meets his niece, totally surprised. The characters, you could tell they grew into their feelings and matured. They were great as the plot twisted to complicate the story just a touch more. The descriptions were lovely and gave some basis to the tale. It was well written and nicely paced.I hope the next one comes out soon.
I received this ARC and voluntarily reviewed it.

An other awesome book by Suzanne Enoch! I have loved everything I’ve read by this author.
In this book we have two people who grew up together and fell in love. They just never told each other. Then things changed, Callum lived the life of Riley, drinking and sleeping his way through the countryside, Rebecca matured and wanted security, marriage and a family. Ian, Callum's brother and Laird asks Rebecca to marry him and Callum realizes to late what he's about to loose and tries to late to fight for what he wants. Accusations, warnings, poor behavior and hurt feelings destroy a family. After ten years Callum returns for vengeance for Ian’s death. Callum is not the same man as the one that left and neither is Rebecca. They don’t trust each other but fight a growing attraction. As the suspicious prove to be true they must act together or loose everything that they hold dear.
Margaret, Rebecca’s Daughter is a bright spot in this book and I guarantee you will fall in love her.

This is a mix of friends to lovers and enemies to lovers. Super enjoyable and sweet. Gotta say, when a big strong highlander gets wrapped around a child’s finger, it makes the book even sweeter.

Since I have the memory of a gnat, I don’t remember the first two books in this series. So I can honestly say I don’t remember the crossover character’s stories, but it doesn’t affect my feelings for this book. I still very much enjoyed this one and look forward to more from her.

This is the third book in what has been a series of 5 Star plots turned into 3 Star disappointments. I am glad to say that this one did give me a decent ending for once in this series but we have a story that should have been told in about 250 pages that drags us around and through the mud for 320 pages to get to (FINALLY) a really good ending with a decent romance (we also get a cameo of the 2 heroes/heroines from the first 2 books)

There were some things that made me wonder if this will be the last book in this series but in trying to see her webpage, it looked not to have been updated in months (years?) and a trip to her twitter account resulted in being bludgeoned with contest ads and political BS which she thankfully never inserts into her books (most authors keep personal and professional accounts separate). I finally checked her Facebook page and found 1 sentence that told me it would indeed be the last book in the series.

So while I did enjoy this book, it did require a bit of scanning to get to that good ending and I have mixed feeling about the future of this series mainly because the basic plots were exceptional but were horrible bungled sadly and would say she needs some serious PR person or an assistant to keep readers informed. 4 Stars for FINALLY putting a really good book into this series although she still inserted a bit of mush at the end with the future of one of the 2 villains.
