3 of 5 stars
This book was not
my favorite Hannah Howell book--maybe because it was set in the American
frontier. Being set in America, I think it loses the wonderful setting of the
Scottish Highlands. Iain MacEnroy is definitely a standup guy who has taken
care of his seven brothers and built a new life for them all in the Ozarks.
When he comes across a burnt out cabin, he finds Emily Stanton and her 3 year
old nephew hiding in the woods. Too honorable to leave an injured woman alone,
he takes Emily and Neddy to his home. He soon learns why the cabin was
destroyed and why her sister and husband murdered. Can he protect Emily and
Neddy without endangering his own family?
Ms. Howell is a
talented author who knows how to built the heat between the hero and heroine,
but I just didn't feel the spark between Iain and Emily. I kept turning the
pages hoping to find it and although there is kissing, it didn't move me at
all. I guess I like the Scottish Highlanders story better and will stick to
those stories by Ms. Howell in the future.
I received a copy
of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
