The Scotsman Who Swept Me Away

September 1, 2019

Geordie MacEnroy has a yen to see the ocean again, even if it means venturing hundreds of miles away from his family's homestead in the Ozarks. The idea also appeals to his brother Robbie, who is in search of innovative treatments for old wounds that refuse to heal. The brothers venture east and then up the coast of New England where they encounter a woman defending her land from a band of thieves. Geordie steps in to help, but Mehitabel Ampleford is easily disperses the crowd without his interference. Allowed to stay on at Belle's place, the MacEnroys enjoy their time by the sea and learn that Belle may have the medical expertise that could help Robbie's recovery. Belle finds Geordie's desire to help his brother and protect her home endearing but also knows that his heart belongs to a land elsewhere. Geordie, however, is beginning to see life on the coast in a new light, largely because of Belle's presence. VERDICT Series fans will appreciate this next chapter in the adventures of the seven MacEnroy brothers and the women who love them, especially as Howell ("Murrays" series) moves the story to a New England coast setting.--Kellie Tilton, Univ. of Cincinnati Blue Ash
