Resumen del Editor

When a Chattan male falls in love, strike his heart with fire from above....

Portia Maclean believes she is beyond love and marriage. Then one moonlit night, while attempting a daring masquerade in a desperate bid to protect her family, she finds herself swept off her feet by a powerful stranger. But what will he do once he discovers she has betrayed him?

Harry Chattan is fighting for his family. For two hundred years, the Chattan men have been destroyed by love...and now he's come to Scotland on the hunt for a witch to break the curse. Instead he finds himself bewitched by Portia. Harry has vowed to fight the demons that torture him.

But will that battle destroy her as well?

the Scottish witch

beautiful story an brilliant performance by Roslyn Landor. although I read the sequel prior to this story , still it was exciting and amusing.

Book two and still great!

Made it through this book in one day! It is great second installment of this series! This one is a real can't miss!

Loved the Story and Characters

Enjoyed this book from start to finish. Love how the author used the witches curse and carried it through. Loved it!

Good story! Terrible narration of the men!

The narrator, Rosalyn Landor, made me wince (like fingernails on a blackboard) each time she TRIED to speak for the men in this book. She had such a breathy, low voice for the men (especially the man main character) that it made them sound like leches, or evil men. I hated it. However, she CAN speak well for the ladies in the book. The author of this story, Cathy Maxwell, wove a truly exciting and interesting book! I loved this part of the 3-part trilogy! Warning - this is not a stand-alone book. It leads you on to the 3rd and last book in the triology (which is also great). It is a really interesting story between belief and unbelief, and IN what you do that believing! I listened to all three of these books - one after the other, as the story was so engrossing! I highly recommend all 3 of these books!

Conclusion is in the third book, keep reading!

The series is written well, the narrator is one of my personal favorites and, the characters are great. I appreciated the detail however, in some parts I felt the story lingered a bit. which, was probably my fault since, patience isn’t always my strong point. I enjoyed listening to the story and, as always to Rosalyn Landor. A big 5 stars ladies!

enjoyable story

book 2 of a family cursed. second son determine to find a cure for the curse falls in love. enjoyed the audio and the story. to see how this all ends, you need to get all 3 books

Bewitchingly Good

At twenty-seven, Portia Maclean has accepted the fact that she's a spinster. Never having fallen in love, and having grown up witness to her parents' strained relationship, she doesn't really feel she's missing out. But she's determined that her sister will be able to marry for love. In spite of their precarious position, they've been able to make it work... until now. When Harry Chattan arrives in their small village, Portia comes up with a plan. Chattan is searching for a witch he thinks may finally relieve his family of the curse that was set upon them generations ago. And Portia just happens to have recently discovered a book of spells. If she plays the situation right, she may be able to take Chattan's reward money and get her family set -- for a little while. But Chattan is not some silly man suffering from crazy superstition, nor is he one to be played for a fool.

THE SCOTTISH WITCH was a perfect sort of pick me up, light read. This is an adorable story and one that I want to see through to the end. I've not yet read book one, though it's not totally necessary to read it prior to SCOTTISH WITCH as LYON'S BRIDE concerns Harry's brother. Their story will come to a conclusion in book three, THE DEVIL'S HEART, which concerns Harry's sister, Margaret.

The Scottish moors, a curse, witches, and all set in the 1800s, this was bound to be fun. And it most definitely was! Throw in a headstrong and stubborn pair of leads and some steamy scenes, and THE SCOTTISH WITCH turns into the perfect read for a cold and dreary evening.
As always Rosalyn Landor was outstanding with the delivery of the story and really brought the story to life.

Gorgeous! Loved the whole series!

I'd been re-listening to my library of romances and was keen to find a new series with Rosalyn Landor as the reader, when I found this series I was thrilled. What a great surprise!

This is the second book in the series and it's fantastic. With witches, a curse, Scotland, and mystery galore, what more could you ask for! And most of all, it had Roz reading it, and I loved every minute.
