Synopsis

He’s a disgraced actor. She’s the daughter of Hollywood royalty. Both are hiding in the Scottish Highlands, but despite their antagonistic attraction, they can’t seem to hide from each other…

North Hunter has worked hard to step out of the shadows of his orphaned upbringing into the limelight of Hollywood. He never imagined a dark moment from his childhood returning to destroy everything he’d built. Devastated, he finds comfort in the isolation of an exclusive members-only club in the Scottish Highlands, even if the club comes with a prickly estate manager who sets his blood on fire.

As the eldest daughter of a Hollywood legend, Aria Howard has learned the hard way that people will use her to get to her father. When her last relationship ended badly, Aria fled to Scotland. Running Ardnoch Estate provides distance from a life that has never fit comfortably. But when defamed Scottish actor North Hunter disrupts her sanctuary, Aria is on the defense. The cocky actor is the last thing she needs, and despite their searing attraction, Aria is determined to dislike him.

But one night of drunken forced proximity with North leads Aria to share insecurities seeded by her horrible ex. When North offers to prove her ex wrong by taking Aria to his bed for a no-strings distraction, they begin an affair neither expected. However, their fiery liaison leads to a deep emotional connection that unsettles them both, and North will have to break down more than Aria’s trust issues if they’re ever to have a future together. He’ll need to protect her from a past that just doesn’t want to stay buried… or lose something far more essential to his existence than his career.

Review 

I received Among The Heather in return for an honest review from Valentine PR. 

Aria moved to Scotland to start a new life away from the world of Hollywood and things are going well until North strides into the castle. He's hiding from his own demons that have come back from the past. Together they find this sweet steamy connection but can their relationship survive when he goes back to acting? What about when Aria's past comes back to find her. 

I love Aria she's such a great character she's curvy has some of my own self confidence issues and I felt like I could really connect with her. North is swoon worthy in every way and I love that he's falling for my curvy girl. They have this sweet yet steamy sizzling connection that just works perfectly each complementing the other. They both are a little broken with issues but together it just works and they can overcome everything. 

I really enjoyed Aria's and North's story it's a sweet romance filled with just the right balance of romance and enough mystery to keep you guessing till the very end. I'm so glad we still got to see the characters from the prior book as I wasn't ready to let them go just yet. I really enjoyed every moment of the story and ended up devouring it in one morning only stopping at the last page. 

Among the Heather is the next book in The Highlands Series by the very talented Samantha Young. I've always loved her beautiful storytelling each story captures the heart as well as the imagination and you can't help falling in love with the characters. I truly loved everything about Among the Heather the story and characters are just perfect. One of the best series I've read this year and I can't wait for the next book because it sounds amazing. A perfect series for fans of romance with just the right amount of suspense.
