Settled in the tranquil remoteness of the Scottish Highlands, Ardnoch Estate caters to the rich and famous. It is as unattainable and as mysterious as its owner —ex-Hollywood leading man Lachlan Adair—and it's poised on the edge of a dark scandal.
After narrowly escaping death, police officer Robyn Penhaligon leaves behind her life in Boston in search of some answers. Starting with Mac Galbraith, the Scottish father who abandoned her to pursue his career in private security. To re-connect with Mac, Robyn will finally meet a man she’s long resented. Lachlan Adair. Hostility instantly brews between Robyn and Lachlan. She thinks the head of the Adair family is high-handed and self-important. And finding closure with Mac is proving more difficult than she ever imagined. Robyn would sooner leave Ardnoch, but when she discovers Mac is embroiled in a threat against the Adairs and the exclusive members of the estate, she finds she’s not yet ready to give up on her father.
Determined to ensure Mac’s safety, Robyn investigates the disturbing crimes at Ardnoch, forcing her and Lachlan to spend time together. Soon it becomes clear a searing attraction exists beneath their animosity, and temptation leads them down a perilous path.
While they discover they are connected by something far more addictive than passion, Lachlan cannot let go of his grip on a painful past: a past that will destroy his future … if the insidious presence of an enemy lurking in the shadows of Ardnoch doesn’t do the job first.
Thank you to ValentinePR for the chance to read this book early.
I'm a big Samantha Young fan - I lover her Dublin Street series, Hart's Boardwalk, True Immortality series as well as her stand alone novels Hero and Much Ado About You. So I was very much looking forward to this release.
And I was not disappointed.
This was a bit of a different book to Samantha Young's other books - a mystery, thriller with the steamy romance I've come to love from Samantha Young's books.
I loved Robyn - she was such a strong female character. Seriously kick butt! But that she still has her vulnerabilities. She's American and travels to Scotland to try and fix her relationship with her father. It's there that she stumbles across a terrifying mystery which only escalates with her arrival. Oh and a broody ex-hollywood actor who can't seem to stand the sight of her!
Lachlan is very protective of his family and friends and doesn't trust Robyn. But she's his friends daughter and despite his protests, she insists on helping investigate the strange goings on.
The chemistry between Robyn and Lachlan was instant! I love me a good enemies to lovers romance and boy was this a good one! You just knew they were going to give into it, but the tension was killing me. The build up was so well done!
If you'are a Samantha Young fan you'll love this book but also if you've never read a Samantha Young book before, I think this would be a great place to start!
I can't wait to see where the rest of this series goes. We've been introduced to a lot of amazing characters and I'm looking forward to seeing whose story is next.
5/5 stars!
