Among the Heather by Samantha Young is now live!
He’s a disgraced actor. She’s the daughter of Hollywood royalty. Both are hiding in the Scottish Highlands, but despite their antagonistic attraction, they can’t seem to hide from each other…
North Hunter has worked hard to step out of the shadows of his orphaned upbringing into the limelight of Hollywood. He never imagined a dark moment from his childhood returning to destroy everything he’d built. Devastated, he finds comfort in the isolation of an exclusive members-only club in the Scottish Highlands, even if the club comes with a prickly estate manager who sets his blood on fire.
As the eldest daughter of a Hollywood legend, Aria Howard has learned the hard way that people will use her to get to her father. When her last relationship ended badly, Aria fled to Scotland. Running Ardnoch Estate provides distance from a life that has never fit comfortably. But when defamed Scottish actor North Hunter disrupts her sanctuary, Aria is on the defense. The cocky actor is the last thing she needs, and despite their searing attraction, Aria is determined to dislike him.
But one night of drunken forced proximity with North leads Aria to share insecurities seeded by her horrible ex. When North offers to prove her ex wrong by taking Aria to his bed for a no-strings distraction, they begin an affair neither expected. However, their fiery liaison leads to a deep emotional connection that unsettles them both, and North will have to break down more than Aria’s trust issues if they’re ever to have a future together. He’ll need to protect her from a past that just doesn’t want to stay buried… or lose something far more essential to his existence than his career.

5 ‘Lost until you’ Stars!
ARC provided via Valentine PR in exchange for an honest review.
Samantha Young continues her The Highlands series with another outstanding love story full of chemistry, suspense, and a whole lot of emotions. It feels good to be back in Ardnoch all over again, now for the novel we all have been waiting for since Sam introduced Aria and North in Beyond the Thistles. Get ready for another wild ride because these two will make us travel all over the place, in more ways than one!
So, Among the Heather is the second installment in this spin-off series still focused on the characters we meet in the Adair/Ardnoch world. As I said, the story is all about Aria Howard, the cold estate manager and Hollywood heiress, and North Hunter, gorgeous but troubled Scottish actor who is now “hiding” due to some false bad press. Aria is also very much affected by her previous relationships and the consequences of body shaming she has gone through her entire life. But North is not having it, after their back and forth, he will move heaven and earth to make her believe she is amazing and worth it just as she is. But there are other obstacles neither expected and it will make things difficult for them to be together.
Somehow, I knew if I let him, North could hurt me worse than all the others.
I am seriously addicted to this series! I really enjoyed the previous book and this one didn’t fall far from the tree. Following the same kind of storylines but with different elements, Among the Heather is the perfect continuation in the series. This mixes a bit of the enemies-to-lovers / forced proximity troupes while dealing with issues such as: tragic pasts, second chances at love, body shaming and some danger. I loved how Samantha dealt with these topics, especially the way Aria felt about her curves. North so loves them and he is decided to protect his woman and love her to the fullest. I also loved seeing Aria get her confidence back, how North finds the way to leave the past behind and finally both giving love another chance.
“I decide what’s too much for me.” I clasped her face and bent close. Her eyes were a brighter green with the sheen of tears in them. “I would go to the ends of the earth for you, Aria Howard. Because I am in love with you.”
Therefore, I am rating Among the Heather with 5 STARS because I enjoyed Aria and North’s love story from start to finish. Their chemistry is so intense and passionate from the very start of the book and it’s impossible not to love these two together. They go through so much, but they come out stronger in the end. The suspense always keeps things a little bit more interesting and as always, because Samantha is a tease, now she got me so curious to get to the next book of the series. So, for sure, another winner!
