Publisher 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?
“It’s time to fall in love with Suzanne Enoch.” —Lisa Kleypas
“Steamy and bubbling with humor, a scrumptious tale to begin her No Ordinary Hero series.” —Booklist (starred review) on Hero in the Highlands
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Enoch's heady third No Ordinary Hero historical romance (after My One True Highlander) is a scalding tale of pent-up desires finally unleashed. In 1806, roistering Highland laddie Callum MacCreath stormed out of his Inverness home because his boyhood buddy Rebecca Sanderson had decided to marry his stodgy but titled older brother, Ian. Callum decides to build a new life and a successful distillery in wild Kentucky. He's drawn back to Scotland in 1816 by the news of Ian's death, which makes him the new Lord Geiry. Callum suspects Ian was killed in a plot that might have involved Becca, who's now the wealthiest widow in Scotland. He launches a vendetta against Ian's shipping business partners, the dastardly Duke of Dunncraigh and his conniving son, Donnach. When Becca first sees Callum, she faints. Callum nearly swoons himself, undone by six-year-old Lady Margaret, his niece and legal ward. As he comes to trust Becca and the two of them learn how to share in Margaret's upbringing, they commit to bringing Ian's killers to justice and mesmerize each other into passion. Enoch weaves together sly humor, a convincing supporting cast, and explosive erotic encounters between a hero who feels being civilized is a nuisance and a heroine who both matches his ardor and outplots his plans for vengeance. The combination is sure to keep romance fans enthralled.
Customer Reviews
Very entertaining
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. All of Suzanne Enoch's books are great; this one is no exception.
Another enjoyable tale from Suzanne Enoch's No Ordinary Hero series. This is a tale of an irresponsible youth banished from his home and returning a decade later upon news of his older brother's death. It begins as a distrust of all in a quest to find out who killed his brother and seek vengeance. It quickly develops into love for his brother's wife and child, and a need to protect them and seek justice for his brother's death.
I have voluntarily posted a review consisting of my honest opinions.
