Among the Heather

The Highlands Series, Book 2

By: Samantha Young

Narrated by: Shane East, Stella Hunter

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.

4.5🌟

Another excellent love story from Samantha Young. She has built such an amazing world at Ardnoch Estate and I love being immersed in it!
I loved the character of Aria. She was so put together in her professional life but so broken in her personal life. Sometimes you just need a character with some body insecurity, because for so many of us readers it is relatable!
But then here comes North Hunter (sexy Scottish actor) who falls so hard for Aria and helps her believe in herself and she helps him work through his past trauma.

This audiobook was so well done. Excellent production (no clicks, pop, or background noise) and beautiful human narration. I was SO impressed with Stella Hunters range of accents (sometimes within the SAME SCENE)! Shane East also brings the absolute HEAT in the spicy scenes!

Love, love this story.

I enjoy the book. I’m completely smitten by all the strong male characters that love and protect the women they love so fiercely. Among The Heather hits me right in feels, the story has consumed me, it’s hard to put my book down. Great narrators, bring the story to life, chef kiss.

Sweet love story

Love the male voice and spicy scenes. Can’t wait for the next story in this series. Makes me want to move to Scotland.

He Falls First

This book was better than the first because the MMC falls first. There’s angst and chemistry between Aria and North, and he helps bring her confidence back. Aria grew on me, but she came off as meek when she shared her past relationships and allowed her mom to talk down to her until the end.
