The Devilish Lord Will

Scotland 1747 When Josette needs help finding a trove of gold believed lost in the Highlands, she turns to Will Mackenzie, the most cunning, devious, and clever man she knows. But trusting Will with her secrets is akin to trusting the devil himself. They’ve worked together in the past, pretending to be man and wife to ferret out information, and the venture did not end well. Will is dangerous, and so is his life, and danger is not what Josette needs. This is the third of the trilogy within the series that takes us back in time to the mid eighteenth century & tells the story of the third Mackenzie brother Will who along with his father & other siblings was pronounced dead after Culloden but Will, his father & two younger brothers escaped to France. I'd always wondered how & why Malcolm became the Duke & this story answers all of my questions. The pace of the book is very good & the characters are well fleshed. I particularly liked how the trials & tribulations of the Scots who survived Culloden were described, the author gave a very accurate & at times harrowing description of how a nation was treated. Will & Josie are perfect for each other but it's taken years for them to realise. I’ve enjoyed this trip back in time & look forward to more Mackenzie stories My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Have been waiting for Will's story, and it was as wonderful as I expected. Clever, cunning, seeming to be all knowing, I am glad he got his happy ending.

I didn’t know quite to expect from Will and Josette; They had a past, but neither seemed to be that invested in staying together. But as they came together this time, I was rooting for them the whole thing. They had such attraction, such an understanding of each other, it was a crime if they didn’t make it work and be together for ever. The emotions though, that came from Will, and his love of Scotland. The things Will lost, that all the Scot’s had lost, and the memories of the way things had been. Will packed an emotional punch, and the Josette finished it off with her love of her daughter. Josette’s heart, her soul, and her love, undid Will, and he undid her, and they found the happiness they so desperately needed in each other. Perfect!
