If you want slow burning lust and love, beautiful descriptive context and a love story that is strangely both wild and steady at the same time then this book is perfect. I must admit one scene when Nichol finds out something about his Granda made me put the kindle down so I could breathe. This is only because I was so deep into Nichol and Cam's story that I didn't want anything else. I know how easy it is to write what you think people want maybe but some endings (the policeman, the art woman) weren't entirely necessary. There are a couple of small hiccups that pulled me out of the book but these are nothing worth mentioning. You see how every action has far reaching consequences and how even the smallest decision can change everyone's idea of forever. A few shocks pop up but this isn't a story that makes you think because it offers you cheap surprises, it makes you think because you are so inside Nichol's head. There is a certain inevitability about the story but it is far from a book of clichés. There was a true romance between Nichol and Cameron but also pure love in every word that describes Arran. It contained some of the most beautiful prose I have read in an MM book. The reasoning behind this is, let's face it, who am I to comment on someone else's writing! I want to tell people about books that make me aspire to be a better writer, or books that wont let me loose once I have finished them.

Warning: Contains explicit M/M sex and the disruption of a quiet Scottish town by a fistfight and some tight designer jeans.Īs you all know by now I only post reviews of books that really blow me away. He’s given his heart away, and it’s time to pay the price. When tragedy strikes, Cam’s resolutely held secret is finally revealed and Nichol must face the truth. Even his grandfather takes to the cheeky city boy, whose hard work and good head for figures help set the farm back on its feet.Īs the cold Scottish springtime melts into summer, Nichol finds himself falling in love. Somehow, Cam quickly charms his way through Nichol’s defenses and into his heart. Something about the young man’s tired resignation touches Nichol deeply, and instead of giving him the business end of a shotgun, he offers Cam a blanket and a place to stay. He says his name is Cam, and he’s on the run from a Glasgow gang. Nichol? Not so much.Īs lambing season progresses in the teeth of an icy north wind, the last straw is the intruder Nichol catches in the barn. His late brother and mother had been well suited to life on Seacliff Farm. Now he’s hip deep in sheep, mud and collies. One year ago, before Fate took a wrecking ball to his life, Nichol was happily working on his doctorate in linguistics.

Is there room for love in a heart full of secrets?
