Purchase on Amazon

I love reading books that talk about Scotland and the past with castles, clans, and everything involved. One of my biggest bucket list items is to visit Scotland one day. But till then I love to delve into a good book set in Scotland and dream. 

Book Description

Rufus MacIntosh wants his family’s birthright back. He’s fought wars and his own personal demons. Time to claim what is his family’s. More specifically, his brother’s. And so, bringing friends and allies, he takes back what is his family’s. The lands are theirs again. Except now, Rufus discovers his brother has abandoned the birthright, the land, all of this. He’s headed to new lands and new worlds.

Rufus should be relieved, he’s no longer responsible for any of it. He can walk away from their ancestral lands. He’s not sure if he wants to.

Davina MacFarland never claimed she was an angel. She certainly isn’t a common thief, even though she’s related to one, now that her brother took Rufus McIntosh’s lands. She shouldn’t have been involved. She really shouldn’t. But now there’s been a scuffle and she’s the captive of that damned Rufus MacIntosh. But she can hold her own. Or can she?

About Aileen Adams

After multiple web searches, I was unable to locate any information on this author. No biography, no book listings, nothing she appears to be a ghostwriter or something.

My Thoughts

Though I was unable to find anything about this author including a short biography I can say I most certainly enjoyed her book

I loved the setting of the book and enjoyed that our lead heroine Davina was strong and intelligent. I found the chemistry between her and Rufus to be very intriguing. With that said not sure I would necessarily call this book a romance.

When we meet Rufus our hero he is determined to get revenge on the man who stole his property and killed his family. Along the way, he meets the man's sister not knowing it's her. 

As they travel long heading to reclaim his lands many things happen. He learns the truth about Davina, his cousin because upset with him and he finds himself falling for his enemy kin.

Though the romance is slow in this book the chemistry and banter between our hero and heroine was fun to see.

Overall I truly enjoyed the book and would be happy to read more by this author.
