Tracy’s Review:

A Laird Without a Past by Jeanine Englert

Tracy’s rating: 5 of 5 stars

Series: Secrets of Clan Cameron, #1

Release Date: July 25, 2023

When Laird Royce Cameron sets out from Loch’s End in Argyll to get answers about his youngest sister Violet/Catriona’s disappearance years ago and his father’s possible involvement, he never expected to be ambushed or to be thrown into the loch and left for dead. But that is exactly what happened and Royce would have died if not for the intervention of Iona MacKenzie.

While swimming, Iona MacKenzie hears voices on the shore and sees some drunk men picking over what appears to be a dead body. She is enraged, her dear father’s body had received the same treatment and she won’t let this man be disrespected in such a fashion. She scares the men away and approaches the man, who to her surprise is still alive. As a healer, Iona can’t just walk away and manages to get him back to her cottage. She tends to his wounds and realizes that someone attacked him, not sure who or why, she keeps him hidden. It is days before he wakes and when he does, he has no memory of who he is, other than the name Royce and if that was not bad enough, he is blind! Iona helps him adjust and when bits of his memory return, she is there to comfort and encourage him all while trying to keep her own secrets and her heart intact. It soon becomes clear that the people who tried to kill him are still looking for him – but why? And the more time they are together the closer they get to finding the answers and the harder it is to face the fact that they will soon have to part. Will Royce regain his memories and his sight? Will he find the answers he is looking for? And will he leave with Iona or a broken heart?

This was such a great story and a fabulous start to a new series! I loved the connection between Royce and Iona and was delighted with their character development. This story has wonderful characters, warmish love scenes, secrets, danger, surprising revelations, a bit of heartache, hard choices, meaningful character development, an ongoing mystery, and finally a HEA with an epilogue. At the end of “Wed to the Laird”, the last book in the Falling for a Stewart series, I hoped that Ms. Englert was going to give us the Cameron siblings stories and she did not disappoint because this story was even better than I could have hoped for! This is the first book in a new series and it does have ties to the last book in the previous, while I think you could start this series without reading that series, I would highly recommend at least reading “Wed to the Laird” before starting this series – you won’t regret it.
