This was a suspenseful steamy romance. This story had so many of my favorite elements; a location in the beautiful Scottish Highlands, a strong heroine, a gorgeous, secretive hero and a murder mystery. Kate was very easy to relate to and I loved how absorbed she was by the details of the manner house and the handsome man who catches her eye. Sam is a mystery all of his own but their attraction is definitely not hiding. The sparks fair set the place on fire and add in the urgency of the situation and it is a winning combination. The secondary characters were amusing and I enjoyed their antics. The puzzle wasn't so obvious that you felt deprecated but it wasn't so complex that you could not rationalize it either. I highly recommend this if you are a fan of intrigue with your erotic romance.
