A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Robin
Marjorie Keith needs help. Someone has taken a young boy she has been caring for and nobody will help her find him. Marjorie has spent her time trying to care for the children who live on the streets, the ones who have no family to care for them. To her this is the most important thing she can do with her time. When she was a child she was great friends with two twin boys, Cormac and Aidan MacAlpin. During a visit the children were left alone while their mothers went to the market. Someone broke into the house and took Aidan away. Everyone always thought that Cormac and Marjorie would grow up and marry each other, but all that changed after Aidan was taken. Now thirteen years later Cormac has come home from the war and all he wants is to fish and live his life is peace. When Marjorie shows up asking for help in finding a lost child, Cormac turns her down. When he finds out she will search for the boy with or without him, he has no choice but to go and keep her safe. But who will keep her safe from him? The feelings they had for each other as children have grown into a very adult attraction. Each blame themselves for Aidan being taken and they think the other one blames them. Will they be able to forgive themselves and allow their love to grow?
Ms. Wolff introduces us to the first installment in the new Clan MacAlpin series. This series is about the orphaned brothers and sister of the MacAlpin clan. This is a great start to a new series and Ms. Wolff writes a story that will grab you from the first word and not let go until the end. You find yourself caring what happens to the hero and heroine. I cannot wait for the next story in this series. The next one is Devil's Own which will be out in March of 2011.

Book Blurb for Devil's Highlander
They share a haunting past…and an unspoken passion.
After Scotland’s Civil Wars, the orphaned brothers and sisters of the MacAlpin clan reclaimed the abandoned Dunnottar Castle as their birthright. Hardened in battle and haunted by family secrets, these fiery Highlanders must rely on each other as they right the wrongs of their troubled history.
Before she can give herself to him, he must forgive himself.
Cormac MacAlpin lost his innocence too young—he’s always blamed himself for the kidnapping of his twin brother, Aidan. He turned away from his childhood friend, Marjorie Keith, denying the prospect of happiness with the young woman who loved him.
Now a tormented war hero working as a fisherman, Cormac is speechless when Marjorie comes to him with an appeal for help…a poor city boy she’s been caring for has disappeared, reminding her of long-lost Aidan. Their bond of shame once thwarted a budding romance, and threatens to again—but Cormac and Marjorie are adults now, with needs too powerful to keep locked away…
