Leading Her to Heaven

Lady Susanna Cavendish is being forced to marry a barbaric heathen, a Scot. Raised in a sheltered environment, Susanna has been taught that the Scots are inferior to the English as they have no regard for civility. Blair Ruthven is Laird of his clan. He agrees to marry Susanna because he was ordered to by his King. Susanna and Blair enter marriage with their preconceived notions of each other, it will take time for them to understand and perhaps even love each other.

LEADING HER TO HEAVEN was a surprisingly entertaining story. Susanna heads into her marriage with a stiff upper lip as she must do her duty. She is a very likable heroine with a spine of steel. Blair is a perfect match for her. He is also doing his duty to have some peace reign over the lands. Readers will certainly fall in love with Blair and Susanna as their characters are fully developed. They do share many things in common including their love of books. It did make them seem like normal people. At their first meeting, Blair saves her from attackers but doesn’t tell her who he is. This will throw a wrench in their relationship when she finds out he is her future husband but it is totally fun to watch these two hash it out. The sexual chemistry between them is hot and heavy. The erotic scenes are weaved nicely into the story as is the intrigue that pervades the time period.

This reader would highly recommend LEADING HER TO HEAVEN for those who enjoy their romances set in Scotland. The author pulls the reader into her story from the get-go. With a charming lead couple, great supporting characters, and an action-packed storyline – this was an all-around winner!
