Blurb:

It’s been five years since Jared McCulloch’s grandfather Collum passed away and he inherited his farm in the Scottish Highlands. After his grandad saved him from his past life, Jared is determined to honor Collum’s legacy. But not only has a series of bad luck put him in danger of losing the farm, his estranged father is disputing the will. In a desperate situation, Jared realizes he’ll do just about anything to save the land.

Even marrying Allegra Howard, a woman he’s avoided at all costs.

A woman who tempts him beyond reason.

There’s only one place that makes Allegra Howard feel safe; one place that feeds her artist’s soul. Allegra wants to settle down in Scotland and expand her business. But there’s a hitch: immigration intends to return her to US soil.

Panicked, Allegra finds the one person just as desperate as she is. The same person she’s lusted after for years. In exchange for marrying her, she’ll invest financially in Jared McCulloch’s farm.

However, living together only forces them to acknowledge their searing mutual attraction. And with it comes an undeniable emotional connection Jared’s not sure he’s ready for.

Yet, blurring the lines of their arrangement is the least of his concerns when someone begins terrorizing the farm.

Allegra and Jared came together to save what matters most and now that might just be each other. And unless they can figure out which of their pasts has returned to torment them, they could lose their chance at a real future together...

Review:

Marriage of Convenience Done Right

Samantha Young is one of my top five favorite romance authors, I love her world building. Character growths, and of course the romance.

The Highland series continues as a sequel to the Adair series with secondary characters now getting their own stories. I was super excited to not only get Jareds story but also Aria's sister Allegra.

This story focuses a lot on Jared and Allgeras past. Jared grew up with an awful father figure and lost the one man who became his father figure. Allegra has to deal with her parents' constant horrible treatment, and everyone around her treats her like she's always badly behaved, but she's been hiding a secret. Together, these two help each other heal but are able to face their fears because of each other support.

As always with Youngs stories, there is a mystery hidden, and it makes the readers constantly guess who is behind it all.

In the end, I have to say this was my favorite story in the Highland series. I have been rooting Allegra after her first introduction, and Jared's love for his cousin just warmed my heart with how much of a big brother type he is.

I can't wait for more of this series, and I can see the possibility of the children getting their stories told in the future.
