The devil never tries to make people do the wrong thing by scaring them. He does it by tempting them.”
Lady Merritt Sterling, a strong-willed young widow who’s running her late husband’s shipping company, knows London society is dying to catch her in a scandal. So far, she’s been too smart to provide them with one. But then she meets Keir MacRae, a rough-and-rugged Scottish whisky distiller, and all her sensible plans vanish like smoke. They couldn’t be more different, but their attraction is powerful, raw and irresistible.
From the moment Keir MacRae arrives in London, he has two goals. One: don’t fall in love with the dazzling Lady Merritt Sterling. Two: avoid being killed.
So far, neither of those is going well. .
Keir doesn’t know why someone wants him dead until fate reveals the secret of his mysterious past. His world is thrown into upheaval, and the only one he trusts is Merritt.
Their passion blazes with an intensity Merritt has never known before, making her long for the one thing she can’t have from Keir MacRae: forever. As danger draws closer, she’ll do whatever it takes to save the man she loves . . . even knowing he might be the devil in disguise.
3,5 STARS
This story although I can see it was well written just didn't grab me for some reason. It probably should have because of good main characters and good supporting characters. The dangers were well written and there was also some humor in it as well. One of my favorite things that made me smile was when Keir said to Merritt that she was a "a wee bully." I also did like that Merritt's mother was unconventional and had told her when it came to something she wanted to "be fierce."
For me, I think there was too much whiskey information although you could tell the author did their homework. Also a touch too much Scottish phrases. But I guess that just might be me. It does come to a good conclusion with a unconventional H.E.A.
I received an advanced reader copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
