Campbell's Redemption: A Highland Pride Novel
By Sharon Cullen
SUMMARY
Like his ancestors, Iain Campbell, the Marquess of Kerr, swears loyalty to whichever government happens to be in power. Privately, however, he despises the British for the slaughter following the Battle of Culloden and finds himself playing a dangerous game of deception. When he defends a fellow Scot under cloak of darkness, Iain is wounded and must put his life in the hands of a mysterious healer. The prickly, bewitching woman saves him with her touch, though she denies Iain the pleasure of a smile from her sensuous lips—which only makes him want her all the more.
Cait Campbell has no fondness for the marquess and his political machinations. Now he makes a treacherous patient, since Cait is harboring Jacobite fugitives in her cellar. But with Iain confined to bed rest, Cait sees another side of the fierce warrior. How can she hate a man whose eyes sparkle in candlelight, a man whose voice stirs her soul? She soon discovers that he loves the Scottish people deeply—and, despite her painful intuitions, Cait is tempted to let Iain love her, too.
REVIEW
I just could not for the life of me get into this story. The other two were so good and pulled me in, this one was a total let down.
I really didn't care for either of the characters. They seemed to have no spark between them. I figured out who was the killer right way so there was no big reveal.
This was a disappointment.

Hers to Heal (Black Eagle Ops, #2)
Hers to Heal (Black Eagle Ops, #2)
By Vonnie Davis
SUMMARY
Navy SEAL Reece Browning sacrificed body and soul in the line of duty. He survived torture at the hands of America’s enemies, but lost his career and his voice in the process. Traumatized and desperate to get his PTSD under control, Reece escapes to Eagle Ridge Ranch. Under the big Texas sky, he finds peace, a renewed sense of purpose—and a woman who makes him feel like a man again. Her smile lights up his dark days, and her caress helps him forget the night terrors.
Ex-Marine Gina Wilson also bears painful scars: emotional wounds inflicted by men she once trusted with her life. She has fought hard to overcome her demons and build a good life for her daughter, and Reece is too intense, too damaged, too raw to let into her heart. Yet she’s drawn irresistibly to his steely gaze and heated embrace. No one else understands what it’s like to suffer in silence. And when Gina’s daughter is threatened, it’s Reece who risks everything to save the day.
REVIEW
3.5 stars.
It was a good book to read during Veterans Day. I really loved Reece. He went through hell and came out on the other end. His relationships with his brothers at arms was touching. His heart was made of gold. He was very sext too.
Gina at times was very infuriating and so unfair to Reece. I know she had issues too, but she just rained them down on Reece without any forethought. I am glad the members of Reece's family put her in her place. Now I know she is a mom and your child comes first, but you don't have to be so cruel. Piper at times was WAY over the top. I know the author wanted her at the front of the story, but she got very annoying quick.
Now the recovery of Reece seemed to go at light speed. It did state he had been seeing Gina for therapy for awhile so he did interact with her longer then it seemed. But it did seem he came out of his not talking fast.
Emotional read. I would like to read the next on.
