Historical Romance published by Zebra Books 26 Oct 21
It’s time for Kai Ramsay to give up his wandering, bid his dying grandfather goodbye, and take up the mantle of Laird. It was the death of his fiancée that drove Kai away from home, but it is her sister Signy who breathes new life into him and makes coming home worthwhile.
As Kai takes on the mantle, he spends the time renewing childhood acquaintances and, in his quiet way, making meaningful changes. It is clear that someone doesn’t like what he’s doing, since a bullet was fired at him. Fortunately, the bullet missed and Kai continues on his path.
Kai finds Signy very attractive and would like to pursue a deeper, more meaningful relationship with her. But Signy, who has stayed home so far, wants to wander further afield and travel, while Kai is now laird and bound to the land he manages.
It’s only when it appears that Kai might lose everything that he truly discovers how much the people and the land of his forefathers mean to him. However, his friends come to his rescue and the author gives readers a chance to catch up with all the redeemed rogues whses stories have preceded Kai’s.
A slow-building romance that swept me in despite myself.
Grade: B
