Seductive Surrender
Collette Cameron
Historical Highlands
Dalliances, flirtations, liaisons? Aye. But marriage? Nae. Spies dinna wed.
Betrothed four times.
Gwendolyn McClintock has resolutely slammed the door on romance and marriage.Intent on beginning a new life, she sells her beloved familial home in America and totes her orphaned niece and nephew to Scotland’s Highlands. But the grand adventure she promised becomes a tangled muddle when her coach accidentally runs down a powerful laird’s much-too-attractive, far-too-brawny brother.
A covert agent.
A confirmed, carefree rogue, Dugall Ferguson comes perilously close to being trampled beneath horses’ hooves. And the remorseful, deliciously tempting woman responsible for nearly killing him isn’t even aware of the peril awaiting her at her new home. Gwendolyn desperately needs protection, and though he’s on the cusp of realizing his life-long dream, Dugall rashly offers to aid the fiery lass.
Their futures collide.
Forced together in order to oust a would-be killer, irresistible passion erupts between Gwendolyn and Dugall. Dare she trust her traitorous heart one last time, especially to a known rake? How can he choose between his love for Gwendolyn and his desire to be a spy?Â
Uncaged Review: As with all of Ms. Cameron’s books in this series, you can easily read this as a standalone, although there are some reoccurring characters showing up from earlier books, and you definitely won’t be disappointed in this series.
This time out, Gwendolyn moves her family to Scotland after finding out her young nephew is the heir to a Lairdship. With yet a fourth broken engagement, Gwendolyn is happy to get out of America and away from the humiliation. Being the guardian of both her nephew and niece, she sells their plantation in America and sets out to her new destination in Scotland.
Dugall is an honorable hero, and Gwendolyn is a strong and feisty woman who is a good match. And it was great to see Ewan and Yvette McTavish again. I’m a huge fan of catching up with past characters as much as I am for meeting new heroes.
This book has a couple good twists that I didn’t see coming, and even though I expected one thing, Ms. Cameron threw me a curve ball and it was fun and unexpected. This author never fails to entertain me, and I always look forward to reading her books. This is a great series, not to be missed. Reviewed by Cyrene
