This is one of my favorite stories that netgalley gave me this year. Thank you so much.. I just loved the relationship between Gunn and Jocelyn. She came to his end when it was raining and she was running away from past problem. And she was pregnant. But he didn’t know towards the end. She finally told him the truth while they were getting intimate she was afraid that he wouldn’t like her anymore if he found out that she was still married to her husband that was beating her. She ran so far away to Scotland and got a job at his inn he was so kind to her and he still let her work at the end, even though she was with child and was married. I thought the characters together were lovely. This was such a nice story.

the perfect book to read under 24 hours. it has everything anyone could possibly want, from heartwarming romance to found family. this book is also packed with action and men who would do anything for their wives. definitely worth the read, i will be reading other books from this author dor sure.

Deception, Escape, Mystery.
A series I hate to see end. The guys and gals in this series has been terrific.
This story had me captured from the start and wow what a start this story has.
Gunn is the man that had my heart in a twitter more than once. 
Jocelyn was a dynamic character that carried the deeply emotional plot out perfectly.
Both Gunn and Joss had that steamy charisma that makes you thirst for more.
This is a sizzling heartfelt story that I certainly would recommend.
So perfect that the author brought back all of the characters from the previous books to complete this romance story perfectly.

I so love this group of ‘brothers from another mother.” Gunn finally gets his story and has his hands full with a failing pub, money low for his estates and now a beautiful , but timid Jocelyn to look after. From the minute he met her, he knew that was his job. I adored watching Jocelyn see for herself , the strength she had and seeing her bloom was adorable. Their chemistry was beautiful and seeing all the other men’s wives was a treat. Though you know the villain will show up, it was a surprise as to the when and where. I do love a Scot and his way of handling bad situations. I did rate it 4 stars because (sigh) the crass f-bomb was employed. I will stand against this word in historical romance as long as I read, because I believe there are other ways to portray anger without its use. To me, it is just lazy on the part of the authors and it ruins the story for me. A well plotted book with very believable characters and written so you feel you are in the room watching it all.

I received this story for free and these are my own views.

Jocelyn Townsend is running away from her abusive husband in England, until her money runs out at the Thistle and Pig in Scotland. Gunn Burnett, Laird of Leys, and owner of the Thistle and Pig, is a boxer and an ex soldier. A soft heart of gold, Gunn is soon losing his heart to the gentle lady. With help from his persuasive friends, they catch a thief and end an abusive marriage. Includes characters from the previous books in the series.
Descriptive sex.
