Previously released as A Rose in the Highlands on Entangled's Amara imprint 1684, Scottish Highlands Clan chief Grey Campbell would rather die than see Finlarig Castle, his family home, fall into English hands. He's already had to fight off a blazing fire, likely set by the outsiders constantly lurking outside the castle, so one beautiful Englishwoman flashing a bill of sale does not intimidate him. Evelyn Worthington has dreams her own. Dreams that could finally come true, now that her brother has purchased a Scottish castle. The trek from England was exhausting, but it will all be worth it once she can get past the brawny Highlander and into her castle… And ignore the passions that flare between them. It's a battle of wills, but Evelyn and Grey aren't the only ones with their sights set on Finlarig. As secrets are revealed and muskets are lit, the fate of the Campbell Clan, Evelyn's hard-fought plan, and the possible future between this Sassenach and Highlander are in as much jeopardy as their lives. Each book in The Campbells series is STANDALONE: * The Scottish Rogue * The Savage Highlander * The Wicked Viscount * The Highland Outlaw. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Highland Roses School #1
Evelyn Worthington and her sister Scarlet fled London with a lady’s maid and their brother Nathaniel’s blessing. Evelyn was not willing to marry the man her father insisted she marry in his will and Scarlet was running from some unknown issue she was unwilling to share. Their brother sent them by coach to a newly purchased castle taken from the Scottish clan Campbell due to the Laird being accused of treason. When the women arrive the new chief is in the doorway and Greyson is not willing to let the foreigners take his home. With the stalemate soon resolved by having the women come inside, at least for the night, the ongoing battle of whether Grey will reclaim his ancestral home or Evelyn will turn it into a school begins in the morning.
Grey is a wonderful book boyfriend and Evelyn is a bit prickly but smart, willing to learn and all-in when it comes to creating the school of her dreams – one that will allow women the same education that men are entitled to. Her vision for the school is not necessarily in harmony with his need to turn the castle into a fortress and that can and does lead to tension. Add into the mix a Scottish lass with her eye on Grey, evil men afoot with nefarious plans of their own, a village angry with English who have been up to no good…and a whole lot of fun subplots and you have a story that is filled with adventure, romance and derring-do.
I enjoyed this book and though at times I thought, “Would that really happen in 1694?” I went on reading and thought, “This is fiction and fun and not necessarily factual.” I did look up the information on snails used in the treatment of burns…interesting! Amazing that what once was commonly used in folk medicine is now being used again.
At the end of the book I immediately wanted to dive into Scarlet’s story to find out what happened to make her want to leave and who she will end up with. I have no idea how many books are planned for this series but look forward to reading them all!
Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing-Amara for the ARC – This is my honest review.
