'A broken carriage wheel at the base of the Scottish highlands is the last thing Sophie Grant needs on her trip to Scotland. Determined to make the most of her stay in the quaint village of Moy, she discovers some delightful attractions, including the Laird Mackintosh, who lives nearby.

Upon an invitation to the Laird's home, Sophie is thrust into a world of decadence, privilege, and wealth–everything she never had. Laird Mackintosh is tempting and beguiling with his scandalously hot kisses. However, Sophie knows he's hiding something–something that could change everything.

Brice Mackintosh is torn between his family’s expectations, and his newfound feelings for Sophie. What started out as a game, a distraction before he fills his obligations is turning into more. But when the truth surfaces, Brice worries that he may lose the only woman he's ever loved.'
________________________________

This has been my favorite book in the series thus far. I enjoyed this story immensly and I really loved all the characters.

We met Sophie back in the first book of the series, A Midsummer Kiss. She and Stephen are twins and Louise's younger siblings, whom Louise was working to support. She was a secondary character in that book, but from what we read of her she was both loyal and compassionate. So realizing that this book focused on her story, I was looking forward to reading it.

While traveling to stay with a friend in the Scottish highlands, Sophie's carriage throws a wheel and leaves her stranded in a small village. While there she meets the handsome Laird, Brice Mackintosh. There's an instant attraction between the two, but he feels obligated to keep his distance due to a long past promise to his parents to wed the daughter of a neighboring clan.

Sophie came from humble beginnings, her rank being elevated to sister-in-law to the Marquess of Graham after her sister's marriage. But Sophie hasn't put on airs, she's still humble and isn't afraid to share the nature of her up-bringing, still friends with those she had from before. I really respected and liked her character.

When everything caves in on itself I was so invested. I wanted to be mad, but I also understood where each was coming from. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll leave it at that.

I recommend this book. If you haven't been quite a fan of the first two in this series, I urge you to give this one a read. It's much stronger than the first two. The story is sweet and engaging. Perfect if you're looking for a quick book to read.

This might be my favourite one in the series so far. Sophie is completely wonderful, and who can deny a sexy Scot, right? Honestly, Brice had me the moment he said Sassenach.
