My Highland Spy by Victoria Roberts is an incredible story - not just a romance (although there is plenty of that), but also a spy adventure. Lady Ravenna Walsingham is more than what she seems at first. She's an accomplished spy in His Majesty's service.

She's sent to spy on a highland laird that refuses to send his son to be educated by the English. This is horribly suspicious, and Ravenna is perfect to infiltrate his home in disguise as an English governess.

Laird Ruairi Sutherland isn't out to harm the crown. He just wants his son raised in his own way and not sent away from him for the English to raise. Ruairi is a wonderful father, and I fell in love with him because of the care he took for his son.

But we must have some conflict, and this is where things maybe fell a bit flat. I think it was too obvious from the beginning to Ravenna that Ruairi wasn't up to any shenanigans, but it took her a loooong time to come to that conclusion. The court intrigue just didn't seem to fit properly.

The romance was great. These two make an amazing couple. Ravenna's strength and independence pair well with Ruairi's stubbornness and family devotion.

There are several side characters that stole the show at times - one of which is a wolf-dog. But the people of the clan are enjoyable and you will grow attached.
