I wasn't kidding when I said I would be reading more Jennifer Haymore! This is another book in the Highland Knights series and I really enjoyed it.

The book's main characters are actually introduced to us in a prior book but if you haven't read it, I think you'll be ok. Haymore hits the high notes on who they are and how they know each other as well as providing an overview of the other characters and their relationships from prior books as well.

There is a lot going on in this book outside of the relationship of the two main characters which I appreciated. I think Haymore built up their stories just enough for the reader to connect with who they are outside of the romance and set the backdrop for the rest of the story.

When Lady Emilia Featherstone discovers that her father has been scheming against the crown, she turns to the Highland Knights for protection—and retribution. Spirited away to protect her from her father, Colin and Emilia find the sparks they felt when he was protecting her father in the past have not gone away and before long, curiosity gives way to attraction. Emilia has learned firsthand from her father that men are not to be trusted but she knows Colin is different.

Sir Colin Stirling is the mmc and he has struggled with memories that haunt him since his wartime actions. Thinking he is mad, he no longer trusts himself with meaningful relationships of any kind but when he is faced with fighting the demons and loving Emilia, he quickly realizes she is the one to help him.

As these two find their way and fight against the evils that will try to keep them apart, they realize that they need one another and will do whatever it takes to be together and protect each other from their demons - real or ghostly.

I enjoyed this installment of this series and look forward to the next one. Haymore did a great job building out the story as I found myself turning the pages and not wanting to put it down until I learned everything. If you're looking for a quick read and a good story, check this one out!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
