The Highland Earl by Amy Jarecki
April 1713
Scottish, John Erskine was recently widowed with two young sons Thomas and Oliver. The Earl of Mar, who is also The Secretary of State of Scotland. Plus his boys needed a mother to care for them. Though John is still healing from a broken heart and promises never to love another wife. It was just too painful and shattered his tender heart into pieces. He couldn’t go through this heartbreak again. John has also been the subject of some negative press being in Queen Anne’s cabinet for many years. He being mocked by the pubic being called Bobbin’ John to belittle him.
John feels the English, Lady Evelyn Pierrepont, would be a perfect mother figure for his sons, the beautiful young woman would be a perfect Countess. Yet unfortunately she does not feel the same. As she feels he is just like her greedy, cruel father. Evelyn has no wish to marry this Scottish Earl who is the catch of the season for unmarried noble women. Yet her father who is taken by the Earl’s title and position at court gives her no choice. The one thing in Evelyn’s favor: is to be able to spy on her own husband under his own roof. Yet she begins to question perhaps she was totally wrong about the Earl of Mar?
The more time Evelyn shares with her new husband John and his young son’s the more she cares. Could this be love? Soon she realizes affiliation and partnerships change and the ones she had considered friends are actually her foes. These enemies might actually ruin the Earls reputation and his life including his boys. Will he ever be able to forgive, forget and move on with his traitorous wife? Can he ever trust her around his children or had she ruined their future happiness where he must send her away?

Amy Jarecki pens another nail biting, riveting, fast paced, page turning, romantic adventure, in her sixth book of her Lords of the Highlands series. A book I totally got swept away in, that had me gasping with delight! My favorite book recipe, is weaving true history with a fictional romance. I loved that this author researched and used a true member in history and his wife, a swoon worthy hero and archer, risk taking, heroine.
This book has all the elements that historical romance readers love. It is awe inspiring, action-packed-novel, filled with extraordinary plotting, phenomenal storylines, mystery, suspense, treason, treachery, intrigue, espionage, betrayal, heartbreak, duplicity, deception, forgiveness, trust, faith and naturally love. An emotional book that I couldn’t put down! I absolutely loved John and Eve’s story - a book I will never forget!
Another stunning setting with brilliant multi dimensional characters, especially the young son Oliver, who is an absolute heart string puller! This included magnificent dialogue, and captivating plotting that was absolutely incredible! This book included detailed storylines that took my breath away. I can’t recommend this exhilarating book, The Highland Earl by Amy Jarecki enough!
