Mary - Buried Under Romance

September 29, 2013

Posted on Buried Under RomanceThis is a good conclusion to the Chattan Curse trilogy, and while it can be read as a stand alone, it's much better to read the trilogy in whole as there are recurring characters. I rarely read historical romance with fantasy elements, but this curse is rather interesting, and the characters are more than they seem. As Lyon and Harry Chattan fall prey to the Chattan curse when they fell in love in the first two books, Lady Margaret Chattan is on a trip to Fenella's home in Scotland to put an end to the curse before her brothers die. During her journey, she is beset by ravaging storms and unpredictable events, one of which put her in a coma, to be found by Heath Macnachtan, the last of the Machnactan line, descendants of Fenella who cursed the Chattans. As he falls prey to Margaret's beauty, they must work together to solve the mystery of the curse before it's too late.The book's pacing is slow at first, to finally pick up speed about half-way in the story. I didn't like the impetuousness of Margaret's character at first, when she just up and shot Heath in a moment of panic. Furthermore, Heath continued to help this beauty despite not believing in the curse, falling prey to physical attributes. Thankfully though, the characters are shown to have more depth as the story develops, and they are presented more than just the Unattainable (title bestowed upon Margaret by her admirers) and Laird of one of the poorest clans in Scotland. Margaret hides a scandal in her past under a glacial mask of aloofness, never letting anyone get close to see her vulnerability, and stopped believing in love. Because of that, only her brothers saw past her mask, and for them, she gained enough courage to confront a witch and a centuries-old curse despite in constant fear of failing. This sets up our lonely and emotionally-weak heroine, who learns the meaning of true love with Heath. Heath sought an escape from his poor clan through the navy, and when his brother was murdered, he was forced to confront his heritage and an impoverished clan. With so much financial trouble, it would all be solved if he could marry rich Margaret, yet he doesn't want to be labeled as a fortune hunter. This back-and-forth arguing about marrying and proposals between them became tedious once they declared their feelings, so I must admit to some relief that the curse actually aided their relationship. What I like about this book is that Margaret realizes "love is discovering that here, at last, finally, is a person I can trust, someone I know will never hurt me and yet will always be honest with me." Heath took a while longer to fall in love with Margaret's courage and inner determination, but as usual, it's a happy-ever-after. The mystery aspect of this book, that of Heath's brother's death and the resolving of the curse, is nicely done. With fast-paced action and eloquent writing, I recommend this book to readers, if they can overlook some flaws in characterization and pacing. Cathy Maxwell's books are usually hit-or-miss for me, so I'm glad to note this one isn't a miss. *I received an ARC from the publisher via edelweiss in exchange for an honest review

"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." Helen KellerThe Chattan family lives (and dies) by a 17th century curse:When a Chattan male falls in love, strike his heart with fire from above...THE DEVIL’S HEART is the third book in the Chattan Curse trilogy. It can be read as a standalone novel as Maxwell provides the backstory in the first chapter for those who have not read LYON’S BRIDE (Book 1) or THE SCOTTISH WITCH (Book 2). But I recommend reading the books in order as Margaret, the heroine in Book 3, develops throughout the trilogy. With a name like Maxwell, the author should know a thing or two about Scotland. And she does. Over half of Maxwell’s 26 full length Regency Romances have a Scottish connection. The Highlands are a popular topic in Regency Romances and Maxwell captures Alba like no other. THE DEVIL’S HEART delivers the Highlanda at their finest – the majesty of the rugged land, the charm of the eccentric clans, and the undeniable draw to the Old Ways. I've had the honor of visiitng the Highlands. I’ve sat in the quiet solitude of crumbling castles. I felt history come alive as the wind whistled through the romantic ruins. THE DEVIL’S HEART transported me back to this beloved trip. When we first met Margaret in LYON’S BRIDE, she was a cold fish to anyone but her brothers. THE SCOTTISH WITCH revealed just how much she feared the curse. THE DEVIL’S HEART gives Margaret the opportunity to test her own mantle as she challenges a long dead witch. Margaret is flawed, through and through, and I loved her for it! She learns, as Helen Keller wrote, that she can embrace life despite the threat of the curse.Maxwell is a Navy Veteran … and I applaud her for giving us a hero who is a Navy Veteran, too. Heath is all that we see in today’s sailors – honorable, loyal, and brave. He is an Alpha hero without being a stereotypical rake. Heath is an unexpected laird with the common sense to modernize his clan. He thinks the curse is nonsense, but still helps Margaret, hoping to prove the curse cannot control their lives. In the end, he opens his heart to Margaret … and reminded me that veterans leave no man (or woman) behind.Maxwell captivated me with an unexpected, but endearing, final confrontation wtih the wretched curse. Make sure you have a box of tissues handy. Maxwell reminded me why I read Regency Romance … we can escape into the historical fantasy while still shaping our modern sensibilities. I received a print copy from Avon Romance for review.

Margaret is on a most important mission...one that could mean life or death for both of her brothers. The Chattan Curse has been in their family for generations...whenever a male falls in love, he will die soon thereafter. With both of her brothers almost paralized, and close to death, she knows she must succeed on her mission, because they have never been so close to breaking it. With 'Fenella's ' book in her possession, she knows she has a real chance. Then her carriage crashes from a powerful wind, and she is rescued by Heath Macnachtan, who is a descendent of the one witch who cursed her family all those years ago. Heath doesn't believe in any curse, or witches, and cats that just appear out of no where. When he rescues Margaret, he senses something odd about her. Heath has many debts, and is barely staying afloat as it is. With the recent death of his brother, he is now Laird, and must take responsibility for his sisters and all those that are under his care. Even though his sisters are trying to push him into marrying Margaret, he knows the last thing he needs is marrying someone who is only here to break some curse he doesn't even believe in. However when he starts to lose his heart to her, he starts to realize that there are some things that are very real, and it will take a huge leap of faith to save the only woman that he loves more than the air he breathes...I was given the opportunity by Edelweiss, Avon, and Harpercollins to read this ARC. I have just adored this series so far. Cathy Maxwell never disappoints...that is all that I have to say. Every time I read her, I just think to myself...she is one of the main reasons I love Historical Romance so much. She makes history come alive, along with the characters she portrays in her stories. Her writing is so addicting, that you can't help but feel yourself becoming enthralled in the story...so much so you can't put it down for one minute. For those of you, who have never read from this author or this series...you are missing out on a thrilling ride that will take you back through time, where magic is real, and love surpasses time and space. We start in the story with Margaret and Heath meeting, where he rescues her from a carriage accident on her way up to see Heath. Little does he know, that she would change his life forever. At the beginning, there is sparks flying here, there and everywhere....I felt like I was watching fireworks. They could be explosive together. But as we progress in the story futher, we see a gentle love start to build between them. Heath doesn't believe in any curse or witches or spells, but he softens toward Margaret...so much so that you just melt when seeing them together. The bed scenes were so "Sigh" lovely, and passionate, yet gentle in its simplicity. It made me want to trade places at times. I loved the paranormal theme we have going...its not a huge aspect, we see much more focus on the love story than anything else (which is always a plus in my book) however I did like seeing the focus on the curse. As it got closer to the end, I was hoping it wouldn't be a cliff hanger or anything. Was I disappointed, shocked, or displeased in any way? NEVER!!! I was so happy I got a tear in my eye..I almost couldn't read for a minute. I loved the power of the love story that just climaxes in such a perfect way....that it leaves one grinning like a fool at the end. It did have some unexpected twists and turns that I never saw coming....and I was delighted to see how it turned out. It was the perfect end to a exciting trilogy that has kept me on the edge of my seat so far. If you are looking for a astounding romance that will delight you and make you believe that LOVE does conquer all....this is a MUST READ!!! A Classic tale of love, magic, danger, and passion that will curl your toes!!

THE DEVIL'S HEART by Cathy Maxwell is an exciting Scottish Historical Romance with magical elements set in 1814 Scotland. #3 and final installment in "The Chattan Curse",but can be read as a stand alone.

Heath Macnachtan,the Macnachtan clan's Laird,a poor clan burdened with debt and determined to find is older brother's murderer,what he finds is the beautiful Lady Margret. They are bitter enemies,if you have not read any of this amazing trilogy,than I don't want to give any seek peeks,but let me say the curse effects both families,the Chattan and the Macnachtan clan. Fast paced,filled with danger,magic,passion,betrayal,and love. You will not be disappointed in the "The Devil's Heart" with a bit of magic and the power of love,an evil witch must be defeated in order to save both the first female Chattan, and the last Macnachtan. A powerful story of love,forgiveness,healing,and family. With a bit of humor at times, I found myself smiling at times. If you have read the other two in this amazing trilogy, I would highly recommend all three in this powerful trilogy. You will not be disappointed. Ms. Maxwell is a wonderful storyteller,with powerful plots,who characters are realistic,memorable and engaging. A must read for anyone who enjoys Scotland,historical romance,England,folklore,and a great read. I read it in one setting.

Very good conclusion to the series. With her two brothers suffering from the effects of the curse Margaret heads to Scotland to try to find a way to break it. On the way her coach is involved in a horrific accident leaving most of her party dead or severely injured. She is found by Heath, the last of the line of Fenella, the witch who created the curse. As the first female Chattan since the curse happened Margaret tries to enlist Heath's help. He is not at all superstitious and thinks all the talk of a curse is a bunch of nonsense, but he wants to help Margaret. I really liked both Margaret and Heath. Margaret is a firm believer in the curse. She told her brothers that the best way to end it for them never to marry and have it simply die out. But when they do fall in love and the curse starts to have its effect on them she is determined to go to Scotland and find a way to break it. When she is rescued by Heath, a member of the witch's clan, she is not so sure that she can trust him. But he is willing to help her even though he doesn't believe in the curse. As the days go on Margaret is drawn in to Heath's life and finds a freedom there that she didn't have in England. She also starts to fall in love with him and as she does there are more frequent events that lead to the idea that Fenella is preparing for a final showdown. I really liked Margaret's determination that she would succeed in her quest. She also refused to stay in the background when Heath was going after his brother's murderer, but was right there being his backup. As the conflict comes to its climax Margaret realizes that love is the most important thing in life as she must trust in Heath's love for her to save them all.Heath had left his home behind for a career in the navy. When his brother was murdered he came home to take his place as head of the clan. But things are even worse now with the family deeply in debt and about to lose everything. He is a reluctant leader but a good one and is doing his best to save his family's land. When he rescues Margaret he is dismayed by her wild talk of curses. He is very pragmatic and doesn't believe in all that nonsense. He is very drawn to Margaret though and offers to help her in her quest just to have the chance to keep her around. He finds that strange things are happening and slowly begins to believe that there might be some truth to the idea of the curse. It took the curse's final attack on Margaret to push him over the edge of belief, but once he was there I loved the way that he took charge of bringing it to an end."Love well, love fully, love completely. Because in life, love is all that truly matters." ~ Margaret Chattan Macnachtan

Can I trust you as much as I love you?Lady Margaret Cattan went to find Heath Macnachtan looking for a grand fight. She was the last hope her brothers had to break the curse that was taking their lives away. The hope that the curse only affected the males in her family gave her confidence but the force that was set up to stop her was a powerful one reaching out from beyond the grave.Heath came to Margaret’s rescue when the first disaster struck but her tales of a book of spells, revenge from a ghost, and reincarnated cats is not something he chooses to believe in. Heath is trying to keep his family estate intact and clean up the financial mess his late brother left him. Margaret tells a very convincing story and draws Heath into her web of curses that besiege her family. But it may be Margaret that is drawing him in not what she is talking about as the more he thinks about her the more he wants to embrace her. When Heath chooses to help Margaret find the answer that will save her brothers, he starts to wonder where the real danger lies for him.What Margaret has to convince Heath is that there is more than what his eyes behold in front of him. The journey they must take to solve the plight upon her family requires belief that all things are possible and the answer is right in front of you whether you see it or not.An explosive end to an engrossing series that has kept me hooked from the first word in book one to the last sentence of book three.

(July) While this could potentially be read as a stand alone, this is the 3rd and last of the series and reads better if you read the two that preceed it first. The Macnachtan clan's ancestor, a witch, placed a curse on the Chattan clan when Charles Chattan spurned Rose Macnachtan to follow his family's wishes and marry another. Rose jumped to her death, and her mother placed the curse before jumping to her own death on her daughter's funeral pyre. The curse states that when any male Chattan falls in love, he will die. This curse has lasted for several generations, unti the current generation, Neal, Harry, and Margaret decide they will not fall in love and thus, ending their family line, will end the curse. In short order, both Neal and Harry fall in love (Lyon's Bride and The Scottish Witch), leaving Margaret to travel to see the clan Macnachtan and see if she can figure out a way to end the curse. Beautiful Margaret is cold and aloof and scared and determined to save her brothers, both of whom are slowly dying. When she meets Laird Heath Macnachtan, sparks fly but as one who does not believe in love, she ignores her feelings and tries to figure out how to break the curse. While I think the story was a bit slow at first, it picked up towards the middle and sped up towards a completely satisfactory end where love conquers all. Not the best I've read from Cathy Maxwell, but a nice trilogy just the same.

They call her the Unattainable. Lady Margaret Chattan spurned every suitor for her hand, vowing never to marry. The only way to break the curse plaguing her family for two centuries is this ultimate sacrifice. But now her brothers' lives are in danger. Determined to save them, she risks her very soul by traveling into the heart of the highlands to battle a force that has transcended time.Heath Macnachton is not superstitious. Laird of the most independent, nonconforming, madly infuriating clan ever to grace Scotland, he believes he has his hands full. And then, a woman lauded as one of the most beautiful in England, arrives on his doorstep with wild accusations and a mystical quest....one that just might help him discover who murdered his own brother.But the real danger for Heath and Margaret is not a supernatural foe, but a very real love that could destroy them both.This is the third and final tale in the Chattan Curse trilogy. It wraps up the tale of the curse that has haunted the Chattan family for over two centuries. Margaret has taken on the quest to end the curse once and for all, and save her brothers' lives. She's got her own demons, and without going into the details ,I'll just say that they seemed rather lame in the wake of this terrible curse that has took so many of her family, and even now threatened both her brothers lives . Like her brothers' she thought she could hide from the curse by not falling in love. And just like her brothers' did, Margaret does the unthinkable and falls in love. Heath is the charismatic man who saves Margaret's life. He is mourning his murdered brother and his Naval career. He is sinking in an ever growing sea of debt, and at times he seemed depressed. Then along came Margaret, with her wild tales about witches and curses. Years ago, Heath had caught a glimpse of the young beauty and was instantly smitten with her. Heath is skeptical of Margaret's claims, but he reluctantly agrees to help her anyway. Strange things keep happening, as they get closer to the truth. As a sub-plot, there is the murder/mystery concerning Heath's brother, with traitors abounding within his own clan. Things get even more dangerous for Margaret after she and her lover declare their feelings for each other, and Heath has to fight to save her life.I enjoyed the story. It wasn't my favorite of the trilogy, but it was close. Like all Cathy Maxwell books, it was well written. The characters were engaging and very memorable. Margaret was a lovely heroine, unfairly judged but has a warm heart.For me, Heath was the more compelling of the two. He had a lot on his shoulders. He wanted to uncover his brother's killer, and do right by his unconventional family, even when they made it hard and were ungrateful. But once he fell for his Maggie, he'd move mountains to keep her safe. Sigh......I did feel that there was too much going on in the background, and that it took away from the main story. It seemed to draw some of my attention away from Margaret and Heath. It would have been more satisfying if Cathy would have shown us what happened to Rose after the curse was broken. The thing with the cat may have been intended for that purpose. If so, it was a little obscure for my satisfaction. The Devil's Heart is a fantastical tale, that's for sure. At heart, it tells us that love conquers all. Even nasty old witches with vendettas. I enjoyed it very much, and recommend it to all historical romance fans.ARC provided courtesy of Avon Publishing & Edelweiss in return for an honest review.

Tabitha (Bows & Bullets Reviews)

April 22, 2013

The review is also available on my blog, Bows & Bullets ReviewsLady Margaret Chattan is her family’s last hope. Both her brothers are on the cusp of succumbing to the Chattan curse and the is determined to break the curse and save them before it is too late. With this goal in mind, she sets off for Loch Awe, the ancient home of Fenella, the witch that cursed their family. Heath Macnachtan believes Margaret to be crazy, but she offers a fair amount of money for him to assist her and with their dire straits, he cannot refuse. But the more he helps Margaret, the more he sees that maybe she isn’t crazy and there really is the spirit of a witch out to get her family. Are they strong enough to break the curse?I think this has been the most disappointing historical romance series I have ever read. It isn’t terribly bad, it just isn’t amazing and since I know Cathy Maxwell can write epic love stories, I can’t help but feel overwhelmingly depressed. I guess I can applaud her for trying something new, but this series definitely proves to be that historical romance and paranormal romance just shouldn’t mix. I’m sure there is someone out there who can write amazing paranormal historical romances, but this just wasn’t it. This novel (this whole series, really) has one shining moment and that is the characters. I genuinely liked all the main characters and despite the whole paranormal nonsense, I wished happy endings for them all. I especially loved Heath, which is why this one gets four stars. Strong and stubborn and trying his damnedest to keep his family feed and out of debtor’s prison, he knows that this farming life wasn’t meant for him but can’t bring himself to give up his birthright. Margaret was an interesting character who I didn’t love, but I liked her well enough and could definitely see why Heath fell for her so hard.A big part of my issue was the plot. In this book especially, but the whole series in general, it just felt a bit ludicrous with the whole curse. Then end of this book particularly just felt lackluster, like she didn’t know how to end it, so she just wrote the first thing that came to mind and marked it as finished. I think people who enjoy paranormal romance may like this, but for all those Cathy Maxwell fans out there, just beware because this isn’t up to her normal standards.****Thank you to Avon, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, for providing me with an eARC via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review****

Long ages ago, Rose Macnachtan committed suicide when her handfasted husband (a Chattan) married another woman. Devastated by her daughter's suicide, Rose's mother, Fenella, cursed the Chattan line, so that every male dies if he falls in love. Nowadays, nobody really believes in curses anymore, except the Chattans, since all the men turn up their toes the minute the L-word enters their vocabulary. In the first two books of the Chattan Curse series, Margaret's brothers Neal and Harry went and did it—they fell in love and promptly commenced dying. Margaret is the first female of her line since the curse, and to save her brothers she has to find a way to break it. She heads off to Machnachtan territory, armed with a spell book written by Fenella and Rose. Supernatural disasters follow, so Meg is increasingly convinced that Fenella still exists in some way and that her spirit is determined to protect the curse at all costs.Heath Machnachtan, laird of his impoverished clan after his brother's untimely death, is struggling with the burden of trying to keep his clan afloat, and he's trying to figure out who killed his brother. He happens upon the scene of a gruesome accident, and one of two survivors is the lovely, unattainable woman he's dreamed of for years.Margaret claims she died in the accident, but there's not a mark on her. So when she raves about the curse and how she needs to break it, Heath figures she's a card or two short of a full deck, but who cares? There's a good mystery to be solved (you may see some of it coming but other bits will come as a surprise) and the evil Fenella does her worst to keep the curse from being broken. I'm not usually into paranormals but this one worked for me. So 4 stars.

The Window Seat

April 27, 2013

Cathy Maxwell’s series The Chattan Curse has almost a serial style to it, with the two prior books heavily leaning on the final installment to answer all of our questions and show the final showdown between good and evil. In the greater sense The Devil’s Heart delivers on those promises and does give us a conclusion to the curse and shows the final Chattan sibling finding love. However, I question if the story was a true payoff for readers.With the two male descendants of the Chattan line suffering from the effects of the curse, it falls on the shoulders of their sister Lady Margaret to find any way to break it. Using the spell book found by her brother Harry, Margaret knows that the answers she seeks are deep in the ancestral lands of the Chattans and the Macnachtan clans, far from the London she knows into the unknown Highlands of Scotland. Her arrival on Macnachtan land brings her a small companion in the form of a white cat she names Owl for her round face and too-large eyes, but it also unleashes a fierce and other-worldly storm that destroys her traveling coach, kills most of her party and leaves Margaret shaken to her core. Fortunately she is found by the laird of the Macnachtan clan who risks the censure of his clansmen to bring Margaret into his home and offer her aid.
