[Release Blitz + Review] Among the Heather by Samantha Young

 

Among the Heather by Samantha Young is now live!!



ABOUT THE BOOK.

He’s a disgraced actor. She’s the daughter of Hollywood royalty. Both are hiding in the Scottish Highlands, but despite their antagonistic attraction, they can’t seem to hide from each other…

North Hunter has worked hard to step out of the shadows of his orphaned upbringing into the limelight of Hollywood. He never imagined a dark moment from his childhood returning to destroy everything he’d built. Devastated, he finds comfort in the isolation of an exclusive members-only club in the Scottish Highlands, even if the club comes with a prickly estate manager who sets his blood on fire.

As the eldest daughter of a Hollywood legend, Aria Howard has learned the hard way that people will use her to get to her father. When her last relationship ended badly, Aria fled to Scotland. Running Ardnoch Estate provides distance from a life that has never fit comfortably. But when defamed Scottish actor North Hunter disrupts her sanctuary, Aria is on the defense. The cocky actor is the last thing she needs, and despite their searing attraction, Aria is determined to dislike him.

But one night of drunken forced proximity with North leads Aria to share insecurities seeded by her horrible ex. When North offers to prove her ex wrong by taking Aria to his bed for a no-strings distraction, they begin an affair neither expected. However, their fiery liaison leads to a deep emotional connection that unsettles them both, and North will have to break down more than Aria’s trust issues if they’re ever to have a future together. He’ll need to protect her from a past that just doesn’t want to stay buried… or lose something far more essential to his existence than his career.

MY REVIEW.

4 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Emotional Baggage?? Check!

Wowza, in this second book from The Highlands series, Samantha Young gives us two characters that are chock full of emotional baggage. So much it’s a wonder they can see past it to each other.

Aria Howard runs the Ardnoch Estate club in Scottland with an iron fist. She’s no-nonsense and has her guard up for good measure. She’s been burned in the past. Men using her because of her famous father to climb the ladder in Hollywood. To say her confidence is lacking is putting it mildly. The woman so defensive it’s not funny. Thinking she’s ok, happy with her job and life now, she gets a different view when Noah Hunter shows up at the club. I liked Aria well enough, however her woe is me attitude got old after a while.

Noah Hunter is a mess. His career has hit a snag, so he decides to hang out at the exclusive club and hide from paparazzi until things blow over. I liked Noah, as he was sweet and caring, not a douchey actor everybody, including Aria was expecting. He’s a one-woman man and the woman he wants is her. Too bad her walls are too high to let anybody in.

So, the game begins with Aria and Noah, each peeling back the layers from one another, revealing some heavy baggage, but baggage that can be overcome with time. They both need to hear the truth and finally believe it.

The book is well written and sexy as all get out. Along with Aria and Noah, we are involved with her sister and a handful of friends and coworkers. Aria’s attitude started to get to me, and it helps that there are several storylines running alongside of the romance that makes the book a page turner. As big of a Parks and Recreation fan as I am, I didn’t realize Lagavulin was a real whiskey! I thought it was made up for the show, so thank you Samantha Young for that bit of information, made me laugh. Looks like Noah’s friends’ story is up next and what an opposites attract story that’s going to be! Among the Heather reads well as a standalone but is more fun when read in order.
