Night Owl Reviews
This
was an enjoyable story with just the right mix of mystery, murder and romance.
I loved the chemistry between Alec MacGowan and Katie Walsh and I really wanted
them to be together. I also loved how it spanned between Boston and Scotland. I
enjoy reading mysteries and I especially have a soft spot for stories that take
place in Scotland, so I found this to be the perfect mix for me to really sit
back and lose myself in. Ms. Montgomery provided me with plenty of twists and
turns in her storyline to keep me riveted to my seat and she sprinkled it with
a budding romance between Alec and Katie to make my heart swoon. I enjoyed this
book so much that I found myself burning through the pages to see what was
going to happen next. If you’re in the market for a book that contains
intrigue, mystery, romance and murder, than look no further. Nicely done, Ms.
Montgomery! -- Diana Coyle, Night Owl Reviews

Book Excerpt
Alec MacGowan watched the woman and
the interplay with the red-haired male, appreciating the genuine warmth he
detected in their greeting. The affection between them suggested more than
friends. Lovers perhaps? She was exactly as Robert had described her: petite,
about five feet tall without the killer heels, chestnut hair, sparkling eyes
that were noticeable even behind her glasses or maybe because of them. His
appreciation of her grew as he noted that she had curves in all the right
places, though Robert neglected to mention that. She had a woman’s figure,
something to hold onto, sink his fingers into. He hated the way modern women
tried to deny the luscious curves that nature endowed them with.
He noted that she was not a staid
academic as most PhDs he’d dealt with seemed to be. She was not one to hide
behind the academic uniform of dark man-tailored suits. She was wearing a red
dress that accented her figure, hugging and folding against her body
suggestively, while the other females were dressed in variations of their
unspoken dress code. Most researchers were rather bookish or totally obnoxious
and angry at the world, though he had to concede that the research profession
was very cutthroat. Competent people were forced to fight each other to grab
their piece of a finite amount of financing. But she… she seemed alive. Robert
was right, though. She didn’t look like a pushover. She was definitely in
charge of the huge man with her, or was it more that he was protective of her,
indulging her, but protecting her?
He watched her as she headed toward
the bar and him. As she neared, he started towards them and then froze. No,
it can’t be her. It couldn’t be KitKat, the woman with whom he spent the
night five years ago.
His anonymous lover had a name and
her name was Dr. Katie Walsh. Damn, this makes everything more complicated.
He exhaled, steadied himself, and
stepped in front of her, effectively and totally blocking her path as she
neared the bar with the red-headed male in her wake.
“Excuse me, but aren’t you Dr. Katie
Walsh of the Nordstrom Institute?”
She halted, forced to stop abruptly.
She teetered in her high heels, grabbing the red-haired man’s arm to avoid
ending up in a heap on the floor. She raised her head and scowled. He watched
her closely as she scanned his face for recognition. He mused that it may have
been difficult since her glasses had slid down from the bridge of her little
nose and were now resting on the tip of it, clearly in danger of continuing
their downward path.
“Yes, I am. I’m sorry, but do I know
you? You look somewhat familiar, but I can’t seem to recall your name.”
“We have a mutual acquaintance,
Robert Baines.”
“Really?” she said, tilting her head
slightly, releasing her scowl at the mention of Robert. “How do you know
Robert?”
“Actually, he’s my half-brother.” He
added, “My older half-brother by three years. I’m Dr. Alec MacGowan,
archaeologist.” He reached over, and with his forefinger, he gently pushed her
glasses up to the bridge of her nose then nodded his head slightly. “At your
service.”
