Supernatural enemies-to-loves in a Scottish castle setting.

I adored Rosie Danan's Shameless books, and so was excited to see where she'd take this paranormal offering.

Riley is a curse-breaker who is trying to turn the family hobby into a career. This has taken her from her home in the US to a small town in Scotland, where a construction company wants an old curse removing from a castle. Then we have Clark, a sceptic and disgraced archaeologist, who is working to learn more about that same castle.

When the pair meet as strangers their chemistry is off the charts, but their first professional encounter is an entirely different story - making the two start to work completely against each other.

Unlike a lot of enemies-to-lovers books, Riley and Clark stay enemies for a decent length of time. Even with the growing physical attraction, any time they start to accept each other something sets things back. If you don't like characters with a mean streak then you're going to struggle here.

The steamy scenes in this book are incredible, as I've come to expect from Rosie Danan. All of the scenes, including a solo session for Clark, were spicy perfection.

I enjoyed the castle setting and the concept of its curse and history. At times it did feel a little bit like stepping through levels of a computer game - we've solved this puzzle so onto the next one. And that's the only thing I can really put my finger on as to why I wasn't as obsessed with it as I expected to be.

Overall I really liked this one, and would recommend it to anyone who likes a steamy MF romance with a supernatural twist.
