What I love so much on Samantha Youngs books is that they always have some psychological in them ....
This is the first book in the Scottish Isles series, and what an opening! We follow Tierney's and Ramsey's story in the first person. Something that always helps me to be more involved in the protagonists' lives and to understand their emotions and thoughts.
I like that the writing is fluent and easy to understand even for non native English readers.
I was instantly in the story and very invested in Tierneys (Silvers) life.
I'm swooning a little bit by the two nicknames Tierney got. They're so sweet!
By the way, it's a bit of a grumpy vs. sunshine love story with all the banter, the spice, and suspense. There are enough twits in it, too.
But to be truthful, I'm so happy for the evolution Tierney and specifically Ramsey made during this book. He's great, and I wasn't sure I got him right. I did understand that he has baggage (who doesn't? ) but I wasn't truly sure what he was hiding, but after its revelation, it made so much sense to me.
I love the banter and the chemistry between Tierney and Ramsey. They're a match made in writers haven.
conclusion:
Amazing love story with suspense and twists I haven't seen coming. Sweet nicknames to swoon around and the chemistry between two people who make spice come to another level.
book description
I went to Scotland looking for answers about my past. The last thing I expected was getting trapped on a private island with my stoic, brooding, gorgeous contractor.
Ramsay McRae is a man with secrets. He prefers the company of his dog to people and silence to any semblance of politeness. He says Im too young, too sweet, too innocent.
Only he doesnt know the truth. That Im haunted by a crime that tore my life apart two years ago. Ive come to Half-Light Harbor not just to start over, but to bring the monster who killed my parents to justice.
The last thing I need is a tortured Scot distracting me from my mission. But when his restraint snaps and my walls crumble, the results are explosive.
We say its only a no-strings-attached affair. A temporary moment to burn out this fire between us.
However, when my search for the truth brings danger to my door, its Ramsay stepping in to protect me. But it might be the secrets from his past that tear us apart forever
