A bright future… With Devlin Chastain's wedding to the Honorable Braden Tracey a mere two weeks away, she has everything to look forward to. That is until her scapegrace childhood nemesis, Lord Myles Farringdon, returns home to announce that he has joined Bonnie Prince Charlie’s cause. Devlin will do anything to get him to leave—especially after the blackguard kisses her—even if it means helping him escape as the dragoons arrive to arrest him.A dark lord… Myles Farringdon hadn’t intended on branding Devlin a traitor, but in her haste to be rid of him, she was seen by the king’s soldiers. Knowing she’ll be hanged if she is caught, he drags her onto his horse and rides with her to Scotland.A perilous journey… From the court of Prince Charles, to the crushing defeat at Culloden Moor, and to the search for a legendary Jacobite crown, Devlin and Myles face danger and betrayal, losing hope along the way, and nearly losing each other.Culloden's Fire series:1.

I was caught up with the plot and characters of this book from the start. Ms Cates is a master weaver of this story filled with heartache, adventure, danger and love.

Devlin has her life planned; set to wed an important man she loves in two weeks. When noise in the courtyard reveals the homecoming of her childhood nemesis and Lord of the castle Myles Faringdon, she is ready to send him to the devil until troops arrive to arrest him for treason in his support of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Devlin helps Myles escape; making her an enemy of the crown as well.

Forced to marry Myles in exile, she comes to learn a different Myles; a man that has loved her since he first saw her; a man of honor; a man she could love as well. Can she tell him in time?

My heart was invested in this story as it unfolded; bringing them to the edge of an abyss. I couldn't put it down until I finished it and you won't be able to either.

The heroine is Devlin and she was very close to her father. She was told all her life that her father was no good coward (he shot himself she was told) and but them in debt so they had to live with the closest aristocrat's family. But as the book develops, you find all kinds of things were not as you thought. Devlin is "betrothed" to Braden Tracey who is off in London for 5 years, leaving her at his best friend's home where she's lived since her father's "suicide"! She is to be waiting for him whilst he "gets famous and powerful". Enter second hero Lord Myles Farringdon he of the dreams and causes this time Bonnie Prince Charles! When Myles stops at his home to say goodbye to his mother---the story goes from 10mph to 60mph. Devlin has tons to learn about herself and Myles is the man to teach her through joking and driving her mad! They grow and mature and you are sucked into the story instantly from the second page to the last.
Even the ending is a upper and leaves you feeling the better for reading it.

I loved this book for the character's growth, wisdom and love! I love this book for showing the bad character can have some good in him. This book was a joy to read and well worth the time to spend in this century!

This is so well written and thrilling you won’t want to put it down! The characters are beautifully crafted and the plot is thrilling. There’s plenty of excitement and intrigue. I usually refuse to read books about the Jacobite Uprising of 1845 and the Battle of Culloden Moor because of the violence, cruelty, and hopelessness of that time, but this is a different take on it and worth exploring.

I am reading the series and, of the three, this one is the most magical. Kimberly Cates weaves a wonderful story that draws the reader in until they feel as if they are part of the story. She doesn't spit out books without thought. I look forward to the next book.

Knowing Devlin will be hanged if she is caught Myles drags her onto his horse and rides with her to Scotland. - There was constant bickering between Devlin and Myles. That got old to me. This is a lengthy book, and too much time spent on the Prince Charles situation. I loved parts of the book where Devlin and Myles were kind and loving to each other, but there were not enough of those. I enjoyed the epilogue.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a roller coaster ride of Love and Adventure! Wonderful....
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2019

The handsome, muscular, heroic and charming Lord Myles Farringdon and the argumentative, intelligent, oustpoken and beautiful Devlin Chastain, have known each other since Devlin came to live at Myles's family home when she was very young and they have fought like cat and dog ever since!
Myles is the golden boy hero, who is loved and admired by everyone and Devlin is unloved by her mother and others around her, so she puts up a prickly wall protecting herself, from her loneliness and despair. Everything about Myles irritates her, his winning smile, his practical jokes, but the frustration works both ways between the two..... therefore, could this frustration really be something else between them? This all comes to a head when Devlin is set to marry the Honourable Braden Tracey.
A set of events spiral out of control and whilst on this dangerous and frightening adventure, they realise that they both love each other.
Devlin is afraid to show her true self and her true feelings, as she has been let down so many times in the past. Myles knows that Devlin has been ignored and treated badly, but how can he bring this beautiful woman forward, so that she will open her heart to him and embrace the life he wants to share with her.
From the first few paragraphs, this story unfolds, filled with humour, plots, love and passion, twists and turns abound!
But for me, it is the way Kimberly explains how life would have been at that time, both historically and factually. It is the way she describes the fruitlessness of war, the waste of young lives, when these innocent young men are coaxed into fighting for a glory that doesn't exist, only to be left on the battle field injured or dying in utter despair.
This romantic and passionate adventure is full of wonderful characters, which help to make this a very special love story. I adored this book!

Yes it's over-long, yes the plot is too convoluted, and yes the prose is so purple it's practically ultraviolet, but this enemies-to-lovers romance is a fine read. What saves it is the absolute belief the author has in her story and characters. She writes straight from the heart. She loves telling this tale and she dares you not to love reading it. Fast-paced and passionate. There's nothing tentative or half-hearted here; cynics, prepare to leave your disbelief at the door. Enjoy.

I really enjoyed this story, it's characters were built up & developed throughout the book. There was intrigue, romance, Scottish clans, Jacobite rebellion, a magical touch of legend and this kept the story moving and made you want to know how it would all end. It's the first book by this author that I have read & I will certainly read more & will look out for more in this series.
