Is there room for love in a heart full of secrets?

One year ago, before Fate took a wrecking ball to his life, Nichol was happily working on his doctorate in linguistics. Now he's hip deep in sheep, mud and collies. His late brother and mother had been well suited to life on Seacliff Farm. Nichol? Not so much.

As lambing season progresses in the teeth of an icy north wind, the last straw is the intruder Nichol catches in the barn. He says his name is Cam, and he's on the run from a Glasgow gang. Something about the young man's tired resignation touches Nichol deeply, and instead of giving him the business end of a shotgun, he offers Cam a blanket and a place to stay.

Somehow, Cam quickly charms his way through Nichol's defenses and into his heart. Even his grandfather takes to the cheeky city boy, whose hard work and good head for figures help set the farm back on its feet.

As the cold Scottish springtime melts into summer, Nichol finds himself falling in love. When tragedy strikes, Cam's resolutely held secret is finally revealed and Nichol must face the truth. He's given his heart away, and it's time to pay the price.

Warning: Contains explicit M/M sex and the disruption of a quiet Scottish town by a fistfight and some tight designer jeans.

For the longest time, you don't know what the title's for. And then you do.

I love that.

But I love so much about this story that this bit's just a simple thing you can relate to if you haven't read it yet. Sometimes I don't get why a book won awards. I know why this one did.

Very highly recommended. ( )

Evocative & beautifully written, the landscape was almost a character on its own.

Nichol's voice was so strong that I found myself unable to cry - even when I normally would have been - until Nichol finally broke down himself.

A definite re-read, and I expect to enjoy it all the more next time without that impending feeling of dread that hovered over my shoulder for most of the first read. ( )

I LOVE everything about this book! I love the slow development of Nic & Cam's relationship; I love curmudgeonly old Harry; I love the lyricism of the writing; I love the glim of magic that weaves through the narrative.

So wonderfully written, it had me in tears from the sheer beauty of it. ( )

Not really a mystery, though there are secrets. Just a beautifully written love story in a beautiful dream like location. I rally loved this book. ( )

Read life paint-by-numbers art. Nothing new here. Just a reminder why i don't normally read this genre. ( )
