Book Review: The Widow and the Highlander by Martha Keyes

 

The Widow and the Highlander by Martha Keyes 4.5 Stars

My first Martha Keyes book and will NOT be my last! Excited to read ALL her books now because this was wonderful! As someone who loves a good Scotland setting, especially in the 1700s, this clean historical romance did not disappoint! Such a charming story! We also have one of my favorite tropes - marriage of convenience! :) This is a very well written story with great characters, a sweet romance and an engaging storyline. I read this in less than 1 day y'all!

We start off with Christina MacKinnon inheriting the estate from her husband who passed away. There is someone who was next in line that threatens everything she has inherited when Lachlan Kincaid returns to the MacKinnon's property to reclaim what was rightfully his. Lachlan wants justice served to the MacKinnons for betraying his family years ago and depriving him of his inheritance. What Lachlan finds is more than he anticipated though as Christina and Lachlan's lives intersect and they join forces to achieve what they want together. During this time together, they grow close and a romance begins.....

I truly loved this story. I want to continue in the series and see what happens next! The Scottish details were fantastic for me personally and I loved the sweet romance. Lachlan is the PERFECT guy for her. I loved seeing this because of the bad relationship Christina had with her previous husband.

There were a couple of things I didn’t love about the ending but overall this was a solid 4.5 star book and I’m looking forward to the next one in this series and other books by her!❤️🙌🏼

(And that I had my kitty Simba right there with me while I read it was a cute bonus!) Eddie is a stubborn kitty and I LOVED THAT!

Book Review: All My Secrets by Lynn Austin

  All My Secrets - Lynn Austin - 5 Stars All My Secrets by Lynn Austin is a multigenerational story of 3 women that explores first loves, grief, high society lifestyle, history, the Christian faith and the essence of what matters most in life. I highly recommend this book as I was fully immersed in the story and characters.  Set during the Gilded Age in New York, we see the strength of the Stanhope women following the passing of Arthur Stanhope. Left uncertain of their future paths, Junietta, Sylvia, and Adelaide grapple with the ramifications of Arthur's will and the looming uncertainty surrounding their family's estate. As they navigate through the aftermath, family secrets begin to unravel, shedding light on their intertwined history. I absolutely loved this story.

We see the beauty of the Gospel in this story several times as our characters grapple with their past decisions, mi...
