The
stunning follow-up novella in New York Times bestselling author Karen
Ranney’s beloved Clan Sinclair series.
It’s
true love in the Scottish highlands. When Ceana Sinclair Mead married
the youngest son of an Irish duke, she never dreamed that seven years
later her beloved Peter would die. Her three brothers-in-law thought
she should be grateful to remain a proper widow. After three years of
this, she’s ready to scream. She escapes to Scotland, only to
discover she’s so much more than just the Widow Mead.
In
Scotland, Ceana crosses paths with Bruce Preston, an American tasked
with a dangerous mission by her brother, Macrath. Bruce is too
attractive for her peace of mind, but she still finds him
fascinating. Their one night together is more wonderful than Ceana
could have imagined and she has never felt more alive.
But
when the past reaches out in the form of an old foe, Ceana’s life
is in danger. Now Bruce fights to become her savior-and more-if
she’ll let him.
When Ceana married, never did she imagine that her husband would leave her seven year later with two daughter a widow. Now her brother-in-laws have this idea in their mind that she should remain a proper widow for the remaining of her life. After three years of mourning her husband, Ceana cannot take the life of being a widow anymore, nor her overbearing in-laws and flees to her brother's home. Little does Ceana know that she is about to have a run in with a naked man, an American that her brother Macrath has hired to a dangerous mission. With temptation and attraction that all the sudden sizzles between the two, Ceana finds the man infuriating, plus she wants to know what exactly he was doing at her brothers home, and who was in danger?
Interesting story. Was cute and a fast read. I like how it handled the romance and even a quick good storyline that was packed into this little novella. It had a bit of everything, romance, danger, some action, and likeable secondary characters. I enjoyed Ceana and even found myself feeling bad for the woman. I believed her brother-in-laws where a bit unfair as far as what they expected from her, to live her life in a constant shadow of her husbands death.
Bruce was fun. I liked the fact that he wouldn't back down from a challenge, especially one presented by Ceana. Though because of that, the romance did seem a little pushed. I saw the attraction he was trying to create between them, but I wasn't completely feeling it. Luckily the side story about what Bruce was doing for her brother at his home kept me entertained!

ReplyDeleteLove Karen's books. Can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteCute and fast sounds great to me, I haven't heard of this one but I do like the red dress on cover
ReplyDeleteNothing worse than a forced feeling romance. Sounds like Bruce made up for it though. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good. Ugh, the brother-n-laws would drive me crazy.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame you weren't completely on board with the romance but this series holds a lot of promise. Thanks for putting this on my radar, Lily! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is an author I need to try. Did you read book one? I am back from my much needed break and excited for the New Year. I hope your holidays were lovely and wish you the happiest of New Years Lily :)
ReplyDeleteI've not tried her but want to. I think I'll head back to book one :D
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely. :) Hope you are having a great new year! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSince it is a novella I can see why the romance felt a bit pushed. Still, sounds like a good read.
