You can wrap me up in Rory Buchanan’s tartan anytime 😍 A hot Scottish healer? Yes, please! I’ve mentioned before that I am a big fan of Lynsay Sands books. I like them all. This one does not disappoint. This is a Scottish historical romance and tells the story of Lady Elysande de Valance and Rory Buchanan.
Lady Elysande is a victim of torture and is trying to get herself to safety. While her injuries are nothing to laugh at, it’s a little funny that Rory prides himself on being a good healer; what he didn’t know was that Elysande also had some medicinal knowledge and was able to begin healing herself.
The action and mystery revolve around a group of men plotting to remove the King of England. Elysande is trying to get a message to the Crown, but can’t really do it without the help of her Scottish escorts (oh! the irony). I love how the slow burn romance starts building between Rory and Elysande. There are definitely many more pressing matters to attend to, but as they travel together and get to know each other, the reader realizes how perfect they are for each other.
There are a lot of elements of betrayal woven into this story. You will find yourself really hoping for Elysande’s happy ending. I also really like that Rory was more focused on his studies than finding women. Being a good healer just made him a lot more attractive. This is the ninth book in the series, but can also be read as a standalone. It has a perfect blend of mystery, adventure, history, and romance. I've read this book twice now. A definite add to your TBR pile!
