The Red Cottage by Hannah Linder

 

Meg Foxcroft has never minded the tattling village gossip or her uncle’s ill-tempered rebukes. After all, she has Tom McGwen—and one day, they will build their own cottage, paint it red, and live a wonderful life.

But then the unthinkable happens. Meg is attacked, her uncle’s apothecary shop goes up in flames, and when she wakes up in the arms of an eloquent lord, she remembers nothing. Not even her own name.

In a frantic race against time, Tom plunges into dangerous water, bent on sheltering Meg from harm and discovering who wants her dead. Even if she despises him. Even if it’s now the handsome lord she casts her smile upon.

As danger swells and truth comes crashing around them, Meg must confront the past and decide who she trusts—and loves—before the enemy makes the final strike.

My Review

 As I turned the first page of this book, I never imagined the journey I was about to begin!
We are in 1818 Scotland, and we begin with a fire and a missing person. We journey with Tom as he searches for Meg, and what a journey.
Just when I thought headway was being made as to whom or who was the one, another twist and turn happened. Whom to trust, my mind kept changing whom, and in the end I never guess.
This is a love story, but again not a typical one. You will be page turning for answers!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Barbour, and was not required to give a positive review.
