London gossips are asking: What use has society of an exclusive gentleman’s club if no gentlemen are ever seen to pass through its door?

After years as an agent of the secret Falcon Club, Lord Leam Blackwood knows it’s time to return home to Scotland. One temptation threatens his plans—Kitty Savege, who warms his blood like a dram of fine whiskey. But a dangerous enemy stands in the way of desire, and to beat this foe Leam needs Kitty’s help . . .

Kitty never wanted to spend her holidays in a wretched country village! With snow up to the windows, escape is nowhere in sight. A roguish Scottish lord, however, is. His rough brogue sends heat from Kitty’s frigid toes to her chilled nose, but she’s confident she can withstand that. What she cannot control is the reaction of her guarded heart when she discovers this beast is no beast at all . . .

REVIEW

When a Scot Loves a Lady is a fascinating tale of betrayal and redeeming love.

Kitty has been burned by love and knows that she will never find someone willing to accept her after she is ruined. She gets revenge on the man who hurt her, but then she is at a loss of what to do with her life. Parties with her mother just don’t seem to hold her interest anymore. So she sets off with her friend and finds herself stranded in a tiny inn over Christmas with the one man who had changed her life without even knowing it.

Leam Blackwood is tired. He is tired of running from the past and his guilt. When he meets Kitty he starts to feel things that he hasn’t felt in a long time. He is drawn to her, even though he wants nothing to do with love or forever.

These two characters are great together. I really liked their connection, even though they both fight it. Leam and Kitty have an instant and overwhelming connection to each other. They meet once and can’t forget each other. Their relationship is wonderfully written and very romantic. The reader is taken on a roller coaster ride with fantastic, romantic highs and tearful, heartbreaking lows on the way to a very satisfying happily ever after.

There are several different subplots that eventually tie together in the end. There were a few things that were mentioned and then not spoken of again until the very end of the book. I was bothered by this, but satisfied in the end when everything was tied together. The reader won’t be left with any questions in the end.

The writing is suburb and entertaining. I had trouble walking away from Leam and Kitty’s adventure. I enjoyed this novel and can’t wait to read more by this author.

Rating: 4 (Very Good – Highly Recommend )

  42. Stories about those with damaged hearts and souls are always good platforms for romance. Haven’t we all know someone with such a problem and think “If only they could find the right person to love and love them in return.” It sounds like Ms. Ashe has done a good job of it in this story.

    Thanks for the review.

  44. I have loved all of Katharine’s books but there is just something special about the Falcon Club books that draws you into the lives of the characters that as a reader I can’t resist. The waiting between books always seems longer than it is because each one leaves you wanting to know more about the other members and the strong women they fall in love with.

    Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the latest release in the series When a Scot Loves a Lady.

  45. Sounds like a delish story. Thanks for the chance to win this book. Fingers crossed.

  51. Don’t know what happened to my comment but I’ll try again. When I saw the word Scot that pulled me in. It’s my favorite kind of read. ice review. Thanks. Katharine’s books never disappoint.
