Reviewed by Mary Wine

This fifth installment in Wine’s series is a great read. Everything it should be: funny, suspenseful, hot and Scottish. Scottish Highlander romance is my favorite in the historical genre. The hero is Norris Sutherland, an earl’s son.The heroine is a fallen woman, Daphne Macleod. Norris was instrumental in her ruining so she could escape a loveless marriage to a man she considered her friend.

Norris has never forgotten the girl he deflowered and he desires seeing her any chance he has. He needs to marry to advance his clan but is so hesitant. Daphne is his choice but she is without a dowry on top of her fallen woman status. She accepts her decision at ruining herself but doesn’t want Norris to let his clan done with there being no advantage to their match.

I love this series. I have read every one and will continue to do so. If you want to start them I would suggest doing so with McJames series before this one since I think they blend together.

Book two starts right where book one ended. Every relationship has it’s pitfalls and this one is no different. Ethan wants to protect Brynne at all costs, even if honesty and full disclosure get lost in the shuffle. This proves to be a big mistake, which is no shock. Lessons have to be learned.

The story was good if not a little slow in the middle. I can’t really go into any detail without revealing the heart of this book. I am looking forward to the next one and hope it’s soon. The author self publishes and that can be difficult sometimes. I appreciate that and wish her luck on this and her other endeavors.

Grade-B

Series-The Blackstone Affair #1

Ethan Blackstone is British and this novel takes place in London. He runs his security company and is very wealthy. He is also ex-Special Forces. This novel starts for him at an art show where he sees a nude art piece of the a young woman. He seems to become very interested in it.

Brynne Bennett is an American in London  for school, studying art. She poses for her friend to help make ends meet. She has no real family in London or England for that matter. She’s also here to escape her past.

Their eyes connect across the art gallery and….here we go. The chemistry is wonderful and I liked the characters. Can’t wait to hear about the pasts. You don’t get closure about that in this book. Still a very good and engaging read. The revelation at the end of this book was a doozy and can’t wait for that to play out. This is one of those 50 Shadesque books but like Sylvia Day’s Crossfire Series, I think I like this better. A friend of mine suggested this series and I’m so very glad she did.
