Reading Now: Beyond the Thistles by Samantha Young

 What are you reading now?

I am reading Beyond the Thistles by Samantha Young.  This is an ARC I was given for a honest opinion.  I started this e-book 2 days ago & I am starting chapter 15.  I had a migraine last night and could not read like I wanted to.  When I sit down to read this more, I will be on my ipad.

A little bit about this book: 

1. It is book #1 of the Highlands Series.

2. There are 3 books listed on Goodreads & Amazon.

3. A single mom on the run.

4. A Scottish bodyguard (do I need to say anything else?)

5. A must read

6. Read this description from Goodreads:

It’s been a long time since Walker Ironside left behind Scotland and the memories that haunt him. Yet after years of traveling the world as a bodyguard, Walker misses his homeland enough to return. To a village in the Scottish Highlands that plays host to an exclusive members-only club, Ardnoch Estate. If not happy, Walker is content working with the elite security at the club and maintaining his bachelor lifestyle. What he doesn’t need is distraction in the form of the enticing but too-young newcomer, single mother Sloane Harrow.

Sloane never imagined she’d get pregnant at sixteen. Or that a decade later she’d escape from California with her daughter, Callie, to start over in the Scottish Highlands. Hidden and safe from Callie’s dangerous father, Sloane is satisfied with their new lives. Her daughter is happy. Sloane has a stable job, a quaint cottage, a passion for baking that might just be turning into a business, and a huge crush on brooding security guard Walker Ironside. Unfortunately, the grumpy Scot seems immune to Sloane’s charm, but she can’t help but try to seduce him with cupcakes and baked treats whenever the opportunity arises.

However, when someone arrives in Ardnoch intent on destroying Sloane’s life, Walker is the first to step forward to protect her and Callie. Even if it means giving into temptation and awakening his own demons. Because in doing so, Walker faces failing not only to shield Sloane from her past, but to safeguard her against his own.

Did you read that description?  I sent the Amazon link to a friend last night & she preordered it!  I can not wait until I can sit down and read.  There are 44 chapter.  I will probably be in the 30s by tomorrow morning.

Happy Reading!
