When I escaped to a Scottish island, I never expected I’d agree to a marriage of convenience with rugged local businessman and single dad, Murray Shaw.

That was before my dangerous ex started threatening me and my visa. The thought of being kicked out of Scotland, leaving behind my friends and the safety I’ve found here, is unthinkable. I’m determined to solve the problem myself. Everyone knows Murray is battling his ex-wife for control of his company and the only way to stop her is to remarry. So I propose a marriage deal that’ll solve both our issues. The fact that I’ve been attracted to the handsome, gentle giant of a Scot since we met is something I’ll just have to ignore if I want to remain in Scotland.

But marriage to Murray is proving to be complicated. Living under the same roof is a far bigger temptation than I anticipated. Beneath Murray’s reserve is a passionate nature that stokes the fires of my own. Soon we’re fighting a searing attraction and an intense emotional connection that’s as thrilling as it is terrifying. After my last disastrous relationship, I don’t trust myself enough to admit there’s far more than physical desire between us.

Yet when Murray finds himself caught in the grasp of a criminal organization intent on using his business for their own means, just as my ex decides to intensify his harassment, I realize there’s no denying that what I feel for my husband is a life-changing kind of love.

However, just as I begin to trust myself enough to give our marriage a real chance, danger rushes to our shore on rough tides, submerging us in a battle that might tear us apart forever…





London + Murray

We already met them in the previous books.
London is Tierney's bestie from New York and after escaping her horrible ex she's now the chef in her friend's new little hotel on the island. But her visa might not be renewed because her ex is threatening her with ... things.
Murray is eleven years older than London. He runs a super successful fishing company and his horrible ex is getting a lot of money out of it every month. Unless he gets married again.
Plus the ex is not treating their teenaged daughter very good - she just wanted custody because of the money. So Murray will try everything to get his daughter and his company back.
Might there be someone one the island in need of a husband?
Plus also, London's ex is not the only dangerous element in this book!



That was so heartbreaking and sad and sparky and slow burnish. They both don't think that the other might be interested. Ugh. Idiots. LOL.
I loved reading this. It's all very exciting and dangerous and suspensy and thrillerish.
But also funny and sweet and adorable and islandy. Full of music and baked goods and friends and so much more.
I loved being back on that island.
Like I already said about the first books:
Amazing location.
Perfect Cast!
Can't wait for the final book in this series!
Cammie and Forde!

TWILIGHT TIDES was another perfect book in this amazing series!
Adorable. Funny. Frustrating. Sparky. Heartbreaking. Suspensy. Thrillerish. Slowburnish. Dangerous.
Amazing location. Amazing cast!
Run to your nearest bookdealer for your own Murray - this one is MINE!


Copy received from author for an honest review
 
It has been a few years since I have read a Samantha Young book - that's all on me, not her!
 
I haven't read the previous books in the Scottish Isles series (this is going to be remedied soon)
 
I loved getting back into her worlds. Family. friendships, and the dramas that can come along with them.
 
But mostly we have a lovely fauxmances turn romance.
 
London is escaping an abusive relationship,  Murray doing everything for his daughter, dealing with a vindictive ex wife.
 
And oh how they can help each other.

They are so hot for each other, but also so clueless abut each other. I loved how everyone in their friendship circle can see that they are falling whilst they are in denial.
 
There is a lot of suspense and drama in their lives too, and I impatiently turned each page to see how things would turn out.
 
I am looking forward to coming books, and I will definitely be going back to the first two Scottish Isles books.
