⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It makes me sad that out of my 22 books read so far this year, this is only my second 5 star title. But at the same time it makes me happy because I LOVED this title.
Anyone who reads a few of my reviews will quickly learn that I adore a grouchy hero (or “boorish” as Mercy called Lennox on their first meeting). This was true of Lennox, too. As is pretty typical with the Beauty and the Beast trope, Lennox is a grumpy hermit that secretly has a heart of gold and I loved him.
Mercy was a fantastic heroine, too. Lennox was truly the first person she’d ever stood up to or shown her true personality. I loved watching her progression and growth throughout the book.
Despite the setting being in northern Scotland with the characters being mostly secluded except for the two estates, a lot actually happens. I never found myself bored and wanting to do something besides reading.
The only drawback I really felt the book had was that we get very little of Lennox’s POV. The majority of the book was spent with Mercy’s thoughts and while I loved her, I wanted to know what Lennox was thinking more.
This title is not on my read again shelf and I can’t wait for the next in the series.
