Cameron Malcolm Stewart, Earl of Lennox, had made his peace with destiny. It was not his fate to love as other men. Each of his politically arranged marriages had ended in disaster. And though he had never touched a one of his wives, he had come to believe that sharing his name would consign a woman to an early grave. So, on the sunny spring day Cameron encounters a delightfully devious, bright-eyed lass selling charmed stones in one of Stirling's alehouses, he tosses her a shilling, thinking only to steal a kiss. But it is a kiss that will change his life forever. To care for her ailing father, the precocious Kate Ferguson has resorted to swindling the drunkards of Stirling. But a chance meeting with a handsome and seductively mysterious outlaw named Cameron ends with a kiss that changes the course of her destiny. But as dark times descend upon Scotland, Kate is inadvertently caught in a deadly web of court intrigue spun by the royal favorite, Thomas Cochrane. And as King James III falls prey to his fear of the Black Arts, accusations of witchcraft and treachery abound. The fate of Scotland hangs in the balance, and while Cameron vows to defy destiny itself to hold Kate forever in his arms, he must unravel the plots of nobles and commoners alike to protect the country that he loves. … (més)

AUTHOR: If you are a true Scottish Highlander romance reader at heart, this is a book for you. Carmen Caine writes the Bedeviled Heart with an excellent balance PERIL, ACTION & ADVENTURE situations and of course L'AMOUR.

GENRE: Historical romance

SETTING: 15th century Scotland, time of King James

CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTERS: Kate is a smooth talker and can guide your attention in any direction that she chooses. She does not always tell the truth but will do whatever is “reasonably” necessary for the survival of her father and herself.
CENTRAL MALE CHARACTER: Cameron believes he has been cursed. He is a good hearted down to earth man who prefers to avoid the pompous and arrogant ways of people at the King’s court. But when Cameron loves someone, Cameron loves someone.

SYNOPSIS: From the very beginning she lies and has no idea who she is talking to. He catches her in a few lies but oh for a kiss. She takes her hard earned money to provide a better place to move her father. He stumbles upon her again and helps her relocate her father. The woman who she rents the small room has suggested a serving job at the palace.

SEXUAL EXPLICITNESS: Measured from Inspirational romance (not explicit) to Erotica (hot, steamy and sizzling).
Romantically and passionately “tasteful”. (Quote) “Her breath quickened and his own matched it as the kiss deepened, and he plundered her lips with a raw, urgent hunger, and then crushing her against him, he lifted her in his strong arms and carried her…… (Tasteful)

WHAT I LIKED: Her smooth talking ways (so funny). He just keeps on giving and giving and giving. What a man !!! From one job to the next she goes as he tries to avoid telling her his secret.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: Absolutely nothing!!!

I give this book (5) stars because I am a true fan of Scottish Highland romance books. There is absolutely nothing that I did not like about this book. ( )
