This was such a refreshing and fun love story. Michelle Marcos is one of my favorite authors, and she comes through with this second installment of her Highland Knaves series. The leading couple, Conall and Shona, are charming and entertaining. I liked their banter and interaction with one another. Shona is a strong-willed survivor of an attack by her clan that massacred her parents and 2 of her brothers right before her eyes. Her way of dealing with this is to fight for control of her life and not allow herself to be pushed around. She meets her match in Conall, who has recently inherited a rundown and impoverished estate in Scotland. I liked his strong nature and character that he expressed with such a level head and without posturing. He exuded security, wisdom, maturity,humor, and strength. He was willing to respect Shona's intelligence and independence and put her into a position of trust and power in managing his estate. I liked watching their relationship develop in multiple ways: they learned to trust one another, developed a friendship with and respect for one another, explored an attraction with one another. When they finally get their HEA, it is very satisfying, sweet, and refreshing.

I really liked the first book in this series about an older brother, Malcolm, that, unknown to Shona and her twin sister Willow, survived the clan attack. It is suggested that he will seek them out and that hopefully eventually all the surviving siblings will be reunited. I like the devotion and loyalty the siblings have for one another.

I look forward to the next book(s) in the series and can't wait to see what unfolds in those stories of the other siblings.
