Review Blitz: Half-Light Harbor (Scottish Isles #1) by Samantha Young


Half-Light Harbor by Samantha Young is now live!

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 I’m too young, too sweet, too innocent.

Only he doesn’t know the truth. That I’m haunted by a crime that tore my life apart two years ago. I’ve 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 it’s 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, it’s Ramsay stepping in to protect me. But it might be the secrets from his past that tear us apart forever…

MY REVIEW

Tierney needs to start over, what better place than small town Scotland? Here the people are friendly, most of them at least, the setting is beautiful, and she finally feels settled for the first time since her parents' passing. There's only one person who seems disturbed by her coming to settle in, one of her contractors, the reclusive, grumpy Ramsay McRae. He doesn't date, definitely doesn't do relationships. Luckily for them, she isn't on the lookout for dating or relationships either. But their chemistry, and a tiny little situation where they're hunkered down on a an island for a night leads to what's supposed to be a no-strings fling. No feelings allowed...


Ramsay hasn't let himself feel in a long time. His past is too dark, he did too many questionable things, for him to be good enough for a much younger, innocent beauty like Tierney Silver. He tells himself to stay away from her, but he keeps finding ways to be around her, even going as far as going out in the middle of a storm to find her. Getting stuck on the island during that storm finally lets them both let go. Now their little fling is starting to develop into more and Ramsay cannot allow it. He'll help her now that he knows what's put the pain in her eyes, then let her go, for her own safety. It's what's best for both of them...


When I heard Samantha was coming out with a new Scottish series, I was so excited! It's been too long since the last one, and I needed my hot Scot fix. Ramsay more than gave me that. Can't be much better than a hot, protective, grumpy Scot who falls in love very unwillingly. Tierney is the kind of heroine I love - strong, compassionate, fights for who and what she believes in. She and Ramsay are perfect for each other with their instant (although unwilling) emotional and physical connection, and make themselves into a beautiful found family along with Akiva the Husky, their friends Quinn, Taran and London, and the other residents of Half Light Harbor. Quinn's second chance is up next, and I'm impatiently waiting for it now.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
