The Devil's Heart by Cathy Maxwell
3.0
The Devil's Heart was a fun quick read, but it did leave something a little lacking. I couldn't seem to connect to the main characters very well. Lady Margaret Chattan has earned the name Unattainable by snubbing her nose at all potential suitors. But she often complains about how alone she is. While I very much look up to her for decision to hunt down the sourse of the curse on her family, I wondered throughout the whole story why it took the family so long to try and fix it?
Heath Macnachtan is a somewhat typcial Scottish Laird. He cares for his family, his people, his land, and the rest can be damned. Until he meets Margaret. One of my absolute favorite scenes (and recurring joke throughout the story) was the scene where the met outside his house and "argued" for the first time. It was very memorable and unique and I wish the rest of the story had kept that feeling.
As a lover of paranormal, I would have liked to see a little more of the witch and the curse manifested along the way. At times I was almost able to forget that it was "real" as it disappeared from the forefront of the storyline. This was a very well-written and thought out story - I think I was just expecting something a little different and something a little more paranormal.
