Scandal’s Splendor: A Passionate Enemies to Lovers Second Chance Scottish Highlander Mystery Romance (Highland Heather Romancing a Scot: Castle Brides Book 7) Kindle Edition

by Collette Cameron (Author), Highland Heather Romancing a Scot Castle Brides (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars (947)
A woman's gift of foresight and a baron's dire need collide, forging a bond that tests their beliefs in fate and love…

In a twist of fate as unpredictable as love itself, Seonaid Ferguson finds herself at odds with society—not for her lack of grace or beauty, but for her rare gift of foresight. A gift she deems more a curse, leading her to forgo the pursuits of the Marriage Mart for a quiet life of solitude. But as fate would have it, her plans are upended when a snowstorm strands her with the one man who could unravel her carefully constructed world.

Enter Jacques, Baron de Devaux-Rousset, a man under the crushing weight of his family's expectations. With his estate teetering on the brink of financial ruin, he's left with no choice but to seek out a wealthy bride. That is until Seonaid bursts into his life, a woman as unpredictable as she is intriguing, with the power to see the future and, perhaps, to steal his heart.

Thrown together by circumstance and bound by a growing connection that defies logic, Seonaid and Jacques must confront their own beliefs about fate, duty, and love. As they grapple with their unforeseen bond, they are faced with a choice: to fight for a future that seems impossible or to surrender to the forces that seek to divide them. In the end, it may be their willingness to battle for their love that determines their destiny.
____________________________________________________________
Suspense, sacrifice, secrets, and scandals…

From the Author

Dear Reader,

Seonaid and Jacques's story has always been one of my favorites, and I think you'll find this second edition slightly more tantalizing than the first. After all, hard-won love and happy ever afters are so satisfying.

Though I always pronounce Seonaid's name See-Oh-Nade in my head when I'm writing it, the Scot's pronunciation is Shawn-Aide. She's an intelligent, kind lady who isn't sure where she fits in her family or the world. Jacques is a man who is willing to sacrifice everything to save his home—even love.

Those of you familiar with Scottish lore will undoubtedly have heard of the second sight. Some legends claim only virgins can see the future, and I incorporated that folklore into the story. Unfortunately, even in the 1800s, ignorant people believed anyone with such a gift was a witch. Though it wasn't common, there were instances of women accused of witchcraft being burned at the stake.

For those who read French, I had a professional translator review the French text. As I don't read or speak the language, I can only hope it is accurate, and if there are any inconsistencies, I am forgiven. After all, it's the story that counts, right?

Next up in the Highland Heather Romancing a Scot: Castle Brides series is PASSION AND PLUNDER. That's Alasdair McTavish and Lydia Farnsworth's story.

Many of the characters in SCANDAL'S SPLENDOR also appear in my The Honorable Rogues® series. 

I hope you enjoy a romantic, stress-free escape into the past with Jacques and Seonaid.

Hugs,
Collette

    I absolutely loved this story! It is a little longer so it was very hard to stop and do other things, I just wanted to keep listening. It this story we get to learn more about Seonaid and Jacques and how they first met. I loved their story together and their own individuals stories. This book had so many emotions that I felt like I was right there along with the characters. The narration was amazing and helped me to distinguish the characters as so as "they" were speaking. It was a wonderful story that was filled with emotion, heartbreak, lust, love, mystery, and danger. I would definitely recommend it!!! I listened to the story in Audible and read it.

    My oh my! What a great tale Collette Cameron has weaved in Scandal's Splendor, her 4th book in the Highland Heather Romancing a Scot series. We've got a lovely heroine that has second sight but wishes it gone, a dashing French lord who needs to make good on his investiture in a silver mine or marry an heiress, a strange and creepy vicar, and a loving family in the wilds of Scotland. There is mystery, humor, despicable deeds, and of course unmistakable fireworks between Jacques and Sionaid. What more could one ask for?

    This is heartwarming series by Collette and the third book in the series I have read. I highly recommend.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2016

    This particular story was outside of my normal genre; but, I have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish and could not put the book down. Each character has their own unique attributes and flaws. Seonaid, the main female character, has a gift, or in her eyes, a curse, of seeing things before they actually occur or as a warning of danger to come. This gift most frequently portrays danger to someone and can be very frightening. Jacuques, the main male character, is completely in love with Seonaid; but sadly, he feels he must marry an heiress to save his family home. Thrown into the mix is Reverend Flether who is evil and believes in witches, as did many in this time period. Will good win over evil? Will love win out? This novel is a fun story involving mystery, intrigue, romance and completely interesting twists and turns. Throughout the book I found myself alternating between laughter and waiting for the next "what is going to happen now?" moment. Who will die? Who will live? Will someone be injured or maimed? This book often made me think of my own life, the joys and fear of what might or could happen and did I make the right decision. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will definitely be reading more of Collette Cameron's work. I also recommend this as a must read!

    When Jacques and Seonaid met in France, she was not impressed. They are thrown together by a storm as they each travel to Scotland; she home from a dismal Season and he to investigate a recent investment. As they travel and once they arrive at Craiglocky, they realize they don’t really dislike each other at all. However, in order to turn their attraction to true love and a happily ever after, they must first deal with the weather, his need for money to rescue his estate in France, her desire to rid herself of her second sight, an overprotective brother, and an insanely weird evil vicar who seems determined to burn Seonaid at the stake for being a witch; oh yeah, and an explosion. That seems almost insurmountable, but maybe not impossible.

    Scandal’s Splendor is a wonderful Highland romance with a Continental flair. It has some mystery, a good dose of humor, and a surprise or two. The story is all that you expect from Collette, strong characters, sharp, witty dialogue, and a story that flows smoothly along holding your attention from start to finish.

    Seonoid Ferguson was done with London’s elite. Ever since it came to light that she had the second sight she was sought after and treated as an oddity. Home is the only place she wants to be and losing the second sight her only goal.

    Jacques, Monsieur le baron Devaux-Rousset, French family estate needs money. With two options available – a silver mine investment in Scotland or marrying a rich heiress - he is hoping the first pays off.

    From the moment of their disastrous first meeting, whenever they are together fireworks are sure to happen. Seonoid’s decision to rid herself of the second sight involves the one man she can’t stand. Jacques’ options become further limited to marrying an heiress, not the spitfire who has woven a spell around him.

    When outside forces intervene will these two be able to work together or will things explode out of their control.

    The fourth installment in Collette Cameron’s Highland Heather Romancing a Scot series showcases Ms. Cameron’s ability to draw the reader in and hold them there until “The End”.

    Although this is the fourth in the series in can be read as a stand-alone.

    I liked the expression of her inner turmoil having the 2nd sight. I really liked the chemistry between the two main characters. There are a lot of elements that I enjoyed reading in this book.

    But I feel there could have been more to the villain’s true origins and finale. I also felt unsatisfied with the main male character’s choice about France at the end. There could have been a better way. Also, not my kind of last page ending, though I understand why and have seen it several times before.

    Seonaid Ferguson, stepsister to Laird McTavish, Viscount Sethwick, has the second sight. She cannot control her visions so it isn't long before the haute ton realise and start bombarding her with requests for Frances and readings! They don't seem to understand that her talent doesn't work that way. Feeling besieged, she decides to return home Scotland without waiting for an escourt and her family carriage.
    It only takes a blizzard snowing them in for three days in an Inn for her to realise her mistake. While there she is confronted by a cleric, a most unseemly man who accuses her of many sins including witchcraft. When he says that he is the temporary cleric for Craiglocky she is appalled! There are also four men who everyone thinks are bandits and a Frenchman who it has been her misfortune to meet before.
    Jacques, Monsieur lebaron de Devaux-Rousset, has indeed met Seonaid before but his memories are more pleasant than hers. This trip to Scotland is Jacques' last attempt to recoup his fortunes by investing in a silver mine. He knows that, unless his gamble pays off, he cannot court Seonaid so he is constantly giving her different signals!
    Once the snow stops it is still a couple of days before they are able to leave but their departure is complicated by the bandits stealing a lot of the horses from the stable in the night.
    From then on the story is non stop with bandits, denied feelings and the evil, lecherous cleric!
    I sometimes felt like shaking Jacques for being a typical male of the period. I certainly felt caught up in the lives of the people of Craiglocky and give this five stars.

    This is the story of Seonaid and Jacques. In previous books, we've had hints of something between them but no specifics. I did feel a few times that we'd missed something with all the references to previous meetings that we never actually saw.

    Still, overall, I enjoyed this story. I liked Jacques, even though he did make hard work of things at times.
