Hero in the Highlands: A No Ordinary Hero Novel
By: Suzanne Enoch
Rating: 5 of 5
I’ve enjoyed a number of Scottish romances by Suzanne Enoch over the years. I enjoy the sense of humor that she imbues into her characters. This book is one that I enjoyed tremendously and one that sets a fairly high bar as the first in a new series (No Ordinary Hero.)
An unlikely English Duke, Gabriel, arrives shortly after discovering he has inherited title and various properties associated with it. He’s a solider who never thought to be anything but a solider so he doesn’t quite understand the intricacies involved with his rank. Because of this, he is plain-spoken and decisive in his actions.
He heads to Scotland to find out why his steward is not providing information needed about his estate in the Highlands. When he arrives, he discovers that his steward is a woman, Fiona. Fiona is pretty much a firebrand and is not hesitant to try various means to get the English Duke back on his way to England, the Continent, or frankly, anywhere but Scotland.
These two individuals clash and when they clash, there are sparks. It doesn’t take very long for the sparks to ignite into romance. The way to true love isn’t without its hazards or its humorous scenes and that is what makes this story so much fun.
I really enjoyed reading the book and look forward to more in Ms. Enoch’s new series.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
