TO BE CONSUMED BY LOVE...

Ironcross Castle was called cursed by the Highlanders. Its most recent lairds had perished in accidents, falls, or fires. The newest owner, Gavin Kerr, did not fear death. It was feeling that he dreaded--the pain of betrayal and loss. Now he arrived at the castle to hear of hauntings and cults and to be drawn to the portrait of beautiful Joanna MacInnes, who died here amid a furnace of flame. And looking at her, Gavin desired her, feeling an impossible longing to take her in his arms.

OR TO BURN...

The real Joanna MacInnes had escaped the fire that claimed her kin. For months she has walked Ironcross by night, hiding in its secret passageways, searching for the truth behind the castle's curse. Now she feared it would claim Gavin Kerr. Yet warning him, touching him in the darkness, soon ignited another kind of burning. And even as her lips opened beneath his, she knew time was running out before they faced a heartless villain...a terrifying secret...and a struggle between eternal darkness and the power of undying love.

May McGoldrick, Nik James, and Jan Coffey are pen names for USA Today bestselling authors Nikoo Kafi and Jim McGoldrick. Together, they have crafted over fifty fast-paced, conflict-filled historical, contemporary, and Western novels, and two works of nonfiction.

Nikoo’s education and training was in engineering. She worked in robotics and submarine shipbuilding. Before earning a PhD in sixteenth-century Scottish and English literature, Jim pursued a hundred and one jobs, including a decade in submarine construction.

Storytellers at heart, Nikoo and Jim were always searching for careers that gave them time for both family and writing. Then, after thirteen years of marriage, they recognized each other’s creative strengths. Nikoo is all about characters and feeling. Jim is about action and sense of place. Their first attempt in writing fiction together produced their award-winning novel, The Thistle and the Rose. Since then, their stories have touched the hearts and minds of millions of readers all over the world. Their work has been translated into over a dozen languages and counting.

Nikoo and Jim are four-time Rita Finalists and the winners of numerous awards for their writing, including the Daphne DeMaurier Award for Excellence, the Romantic Times Magazine Reviewers’ Choice Award, three NJRW Golden Leaf Awards, two Holt Medallions, and the Connecticut Press Club Award for Best Fiction.

The authors make their home in California.

Here is a complete catalogue of May McGoldrick, Nik James and Jan Coffey’s work, in chronological order.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice change
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017

I enjoyed the story line of this book and found it a nice change from the typical stories out there right now. I described it as a murder -mystery -romance to a friend. It kept you guessing and interested from beginning to end. The characters were well built and I found myself really feeling the anguish. There were a few typos which I didn't see in the last book I read from this team, but they weren't nearly as bad as some with out there. These usually turn me off from an author since I figure they don't care enough about the reader to take the time to read and edit their own work. That didn't happen here and will be reading the next story.

Always entertaining, always well written. The mcPerson clan books are great. Each story stands alone, although you will enjoy the entire series if so inclined. This is a story of mystery, of a woman masquerading as a ghost to bring justice yo her family. Only the determination of her betrothed laird helps her see the error of her ways, and the reader learns who the actual culprit is.

3.0 out of 5 stars Review of Flame
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2017

I enjoyed the story but only gave it 3 stars because I was able to determine who the villain was way before it was revealed in the story. A good mystery does not allow that.

In addition, I want to comment on the proof reading of the text. There are numerous errors throughout the book where words or phrases are omitted or reversed. I was always able to figure out what was being said, but find it irritating that these errors were there. It is obvious that the proof reader did not do a good job. I don't believe I could recommend the book because of this. I don't appreciate paying good money for less than adequate work.

I never observe this issue in the books of more well known authors, so suspect quality control is an issue with this publisher.
Hopefully, my observations will be looked into and corrected in future publications or even in this text. I probably will not purchase this authors future books or those of its publishers.

Thank you for the opportunity to post my review.

This is a really good read. It is filled with mystery, . Intrigue, adventure and try romance. I loved both the h/h as well as the secondary characters, especially Athol. It was not your typical highland romance novel, but nonetheless, it was really good because it was a romance/whodunit type novel. I would definitely recommend this book , buy it. I can't w as it to read Athol's story, I know it will be great as well.

Wasn't sure about this book because of spirits and haunted Castle towers but I gave it a chance and it was worth it. Gavin and his ghost Johanna had me laughing out loud! The more hee would get angry about his picture being moved, the more I (and Johanna) laughed. This book has very sexy love scenes and a who done it murder? I would recommend this book and read again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved the whole series
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2017

Pretty sure I've read them all now. I did try to read them in order. I like her (their) work. There's a plot, of course they fall in love. I mean it is romance after all. The phrases seem accurate and authentic for the time period. It is best to read them in order. I love the lineage of the families they bring into their work. There's some sex, not much. If I remember correctly they could be easily skipped if that is offensive to the reader. Most of their writing focuses on things other than sex. I like the way they paint the attire of the people so the characters feel real. They aren't always in their finest clothing and the use of their descriptives helps to set an image of simple dress when that would be normal. I think their books all focus on the interpersonal relationships within the family and sometimes the breakdowns within the families. I suggest reading all of the May McGoldrick books!
