(Adair Family #1)
by
Settled in the
tranquil remoteness of the Scottish Highlands, Ardnoch Estate caters to
the rich and famous. It is as unattainable and as mysterious as its
owner —ex-Hollywood leading man Lachlan Adair—and it's poised on the
edge of a dark scandal.
After narrowly escaping death, police officer Robyn Penhaligon leaves behind her life in Boston in search of some answers. Starting with Mac Galbraith, the Scottish father who abandoned her to pursue his career in private security. To re-connect with Mac, Robyn will finally meet a man she’s long resented. Lachlan Adair. Hostility instantly brews between Robyn and Lachlan. She thinks the head of the Adair family is high-handed and self-important. And finding closure with Mac is proving more difficult than she ever imagined. Robyn would sooner leave Ardnoch, but when she discovers Mac is embroiled in a threat against the Adairs and the exclusive members of the estate, she finds she’s not yet ready to give up on her father.
Determined to ensure Mac’s safety, Robyn investigates the disturbing crimes at Ardnoch, forcing her and Lachlan to spend time together. Soon it becomes clear a searing attraction exists beneath their animosity, and temptation leads them down a perilous path.
While they discover they are connected by something far more addictive than passion, Lachlan cannot let go of his grip on a painful past: a past that will destroy his future … if the insidious presence of an enemy lurking in the shadows of Ardnoch doesn’t do the job first.

My Here with Me Review . . .
I have been such a big fan of Samantha Young since On Dublin Street so anytime a new book comes out I jump at the chance to read it.
"I always thought perfect silence was nothing. But it's not. It's the world devoid of human noise. It's waves lapping at the shore, gulls crying in the sky, the breeze whistling over clifftops and soaring down valleys."
Robyn Penhaligon immediately starts off as a kiss ass heroine. I was intrigued from the first page. I also loved the fact that even though she was strong she also had her demons which we all have even though many try to pretend that they don't.
She goes to Scotland to make amends with her father Mac. But once there she runs into Lachlan
Adair whom she blames for the falling apart of her relationship with her father.
Robyn and Lachlan have a chemistry immediately even though it starts as hate. That doesn't mean there is no steam to go along with that hate.
While Robyn is trying make amends with her dad, all hell is breaking loose at the Ardnoch Estate where Lachlan owns and runs a high end club to the rich and famous.
With strange things happening Robyn ends up staying to help figure out whom is behind all the incidents.
As Robyn and Mac come together to solve the mystery Lachlan and Robyn hate turns into more.
He knew better than anyone that often those who seemed the strongest buried their pain a little deeper than the rest. Sometimes those who seemed the strongest needed the support of others more than those around them ever realized.
I have to admit normally most suspense plots are quite predictable but Samantha gave a brilliant twist that I didn't see coming. It was great. I love being surprised when reading romance suspense.
Every character was so well written I was immersed in the story the whole time and I didn't want it to end. I absolutely loved Robyn and Lachlan together.
"Braveheart, I want your home to be where I am because my home is wherever you are."
I can not frigging wait for more from this series.
4 Braveheart loving thumbs up!
