About this ebook

1685, Scottish Highlands

Cat Campbell knows all about Nathaniel Worthington, fifth Viscount of Lincolnshire. The determined Englishman is never far from Finlarig Castle, where his sisters train women to do more than read and write. And thanks to the fiery kiss they shared nearly a year ago he is never far from her thoughts. No one ever trained her how to forget an irresistible man.

Nathaniel knows he should keep his distance from the fierce Scottish lass, but when an urgent letter from Queen Catherine calls Cat to London, he can’t resist volunteering to escort her. The tension between the two has simmered for months, but the long journey in close quarters creates a raging wildfire that could burn them both.

Secrets of their past and the treachery lurking at court put both their future together and their very lives at risk.

Ratings and reviews

The Wicked Viscount by Heather McCollum The Campbells #3 Nathaniel Worthington, brother to the women who set up the Highland Roses School in Scotland, is healed from his gunshot wound and escorting Cat Campbell to London at the bequest of the king’s wife. The story deals with their travel to London, finding out that the king has died, dealing with traitors, saving a few people and of course, falling in love. Cat and Nathaniel did not set out to find romance but it seemed to find them in spite of the fact that Cat is definitely not the woman Nathaniel should marry as she is not titled and English and she is unwilling to relinquish her heart to any man after seeing what pain love can bring someone who loses their spouse. This was a fun easy read that had historical basis (with the king’s death) and though perhaps not entirely believable an enjoyable way to spend the day. Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled-Amara for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4-5 Stars

1685, Scottish Highlands Catriona Campbell knows all about Nathaniel Worthington, fifth Viscount of Lincolnshire. The determined Englishman is never far from Finlarig Castle, where his sisters train women in their Highland Roses school. And thanks to the fiery kiss they shared nearly a year ago he is never far from her thoughts. Nathaniel knows he should keep his distance from Cat, but when an urgent letter from Queen Catherine calls her to London, he knows he has to escort her. Another well written page turning book from the author, this is the third book in the series & whilst it could easily be read on its own I’d recommend reading the whole series especially if like me you love series. Nathaniel & Cat have featured in earlier books & the attraction between them has been apparent from the start. A long journey to London is filled with sexual tension as the pair verbally spar until sparks fly. The characterisation is very good & several intriguing & delightful new characters are introduced. The pace of the book is good but towards the end the pace increases until the pages flew by. My only quibble was that a villain didn’t get their comeuppance so I hope this happens in a future book as I’d hate for them not to suffer! My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
