Highland spy Harrison MacMasters knows a pretty face can hide bitter deception. Once, he’d been drawn to Grace Winters and the temptation in her kiss. Now, he knows better than to trust her with anything, including his heart. But now he’s forced to watch over the one woman he hoped to never see again.

Grace Winters will do anything to keep her sister safe, even if it means stealing the Crown Jewels themselves. But when she’s caught in the act, she’ll need to make a bargain with the devil to keep herself from the gallows and her family from the poorhouse. Too bad the one man she gave in to temptation with years ago now controls her fate.

I received Tempting the Highland Spy (Highland Hearts, #3) for free. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Dr Harrison MacMasters isn’t only a handsome Scottish doctor, but he is also a spy aiding to keep precious antiquities right where they belong. Grace Winters  is a reluctant thief who is just trying to support her sister and do as her aunt says. When Grace is caught in the act by the man she spent a passionate night with a year before, she is forced to work with Harry in exchange for her and her aunt’s freedom.

This is another topsy turvy ride with a hot Scot and his brazen American beauty. This is the third novel in Kingston’s Highland Hearts series, but can be read on its own. Kingston introduced us to both Grace and Harry in book two of the series and I for one am overjoyed that the duo is getting their own adventure.

Grace is basically a professional bridesmaid. I guess that was really a thing back then. If the bride is short on friends, Grace is hired to fill out the numbers. Often at these weddings, Grace and her aunt steal a few precious items they hope will not be missed until they are far from the scene of the crime. At the wedding where Grace and Harry met, she also met another bridesmaid and fellow American, Miss Belle Fairchild. Grace is needed to get close to Belle while Belle prepares for her wedding. With Harry pretending to be Grace’s newly wedded husband, she thinks she will do just that and no more. Well, it doesn’t quite work out that way. The memories of the explosive night they shared together and their fake marriage bring Grace and Harry closer to a real pair of I do’s!

With one twist after another, Kingston kept me enraptured by these characters and their journey. I’m so glad she decided to give Harry and Grace their story and I’m excited to see who she will give us in the next installment of this fabulous series!
