Every woman has her dreams

Portia Maclean believes she is beyond love and marriage. Then one moonlit night, while attempting a daring masquerade in a desperate bid to protect her family, she finds herself swept off her feet by a powerful stranger. His very touch makes her long for much more.

This second book in Cathy Maxwell’s The Chattan Curse series – or is it a trilogy? – is more than just a romance novel, it's a wonderful love story that, once I started, I couldn't put down.

From the Cover:

Every woman has her dreams

Portia Maclean believes she is beyond love and marriage. Then one moonlit night, while attempting a daring masquerade in a desperate bid to protect her family, she finds herself swept off her feet by a powerful stranger. His very touch makes her long for much more. But what will he do once he discovers she has betrayed him?

Every man has his demons

Harry Chattan is fighting for his family-their honor and their lives. For two hundred years the Chattan men have been destroyed by love and now he's come to Scotland on the hunt for a witch who can break the legend's curse. Instead he finds himself bewitched by the tantalizing Portia. Determined to right legendary wrongs, Harry has vowed to fight the demons that torture him.

But will that battle destroy her as well?

Oh, how I loved this book! Given what we learned of Harry in Lyon’s Bride, I was pretty sure his story would be amazing, and I was right! That said, I had also worried that it would be dark – darker than I like to read – but thankfully, it wasn’t! Harry overcame most of his demons early on, and then resolved the things that were within his power to resolve, and left the rest in Fate's hands.

My favorite thing about these books is the profound message of love being the most important thing, for without it, nothing else matters. One by one this generation of Chattans are falling victim to the Chattan Curse, but refuse to give up, refuse to turn their backs on true love, no matter the cost. And. I. LOVE. That!!!!!

Up next is Margaret’s story. She’s Neal and Harry’s sister, and will not stand by while a bitter old witch destroys her family. She’s the Chattan’s last hope to break the curse, and I can’t wait to read all about how she does it in The Devil's Heart!!

The bottom line: The Scottish Witch is such a feel good story. Filled with hope, inspiration, romance and steamy goodness, it was everything I had hoped for, and more! Harry and Portia are amazing together, perfect for one another, and I love their happily ever after!

My thanks to Avon Books for providing me with a copy of this wonderful book in exchange for an honest review.(less)

Cathy Maxwell's THE SCOTTISH WITCH is Book Two in the Chattan Curse series. The series focuses on a 17th century curse cast by a Scottish witch, Finella, on the Chattan family,

When a Chattan male falls in love,
strike his heart with fire from Above.

Book 1, LYON'S BRIDE, introduces us to the Chattan Family in the Regency Era - Neal, Harry, and Margaret. Neal, Lord Lyon, wants children, so he seeks a bride he cannot love. He falls in love with his matchmaker and falls ill from the curse. Inspired by his brother's love, Harry sets out to save his brother in Book 2, THE SCOTTISH WITCH.

Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you, Did my heart fly at your service - The Tempest, Act 3, Scene 1

Maxwell provides readers new to the series with another prologue (different from LYON'S BRIDE) to join Harry in his desperate mission. He travels to Scotland to search for a witch to reverse the curse, leading him to Portia Maclean. Like Harry, Portia has Scottish blood but lived in England. Like Harry, she came to Scotland to save her family. Like Harry, she feels romantic love has no room in her heart. When they first meet, with Portia in disguise as a witch, they feel a mutual bond. In their second meeting, at the Christmas assembly, they feel a mutual attraction. As they engage in a passionate affair, they inadvertently open their hearts to the other ... but also to the curse. They feel Finella's wrath surrounding them .... but they find an unexpected ally.

Doubt that the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move his aides, Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love - Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2

Maxwell steps outside the Regency Ballroom with the "paranormal elements" akin to Shakespeare's MacBeth. I applaud her for settingTHE SCOTTISH WITCH in Glenfinnan - oh, the symbolism! Glenfinnan is where Bonnie Prince Charlie returned to Scotland to reclaim the throne ... and Glenfinnan is where Colonel Harry Chattan returns to his ancestor's crime to reclaim his brother's life. The Glenfinnan Viaduct delivered Harry Potter aboard Hogwart's Express to his destiny ... and Glenfinnan delivers Harry to his destiny with Portia. I have walked through Glenfinnan, traveled over the viaduct, and scoured the Highlands in search of crumbling castles - Maxwell's storytelling took me back to this beloved vacation.

A heart to love, and in that heart, Courage, to make's love known - MacBeth, Act 2, Scene 3

Maxwell is known for her heartfelt characters and she delivers in THE SCOTTISH WITCH. Readers will sympathize with sweet sisters Portia and Minera; hiss at the selfish gentry Lady Maclean and Lady Emma; and cheer for the hapless dog loving General. Harry is the pièce de résistance with his transformation from the alcoholic womanizer to the desperate brother begging for Neal's life - a scene that I will never forget. Or as a lovestuck rogue bursting through the church door to ... oh, you have to read the book yourself. I also applaud Maxwell for subtly addressing social issues of addiction, loneliness, and post traumatic stress of war weary veterans.

Thank you, Cathy, for reminding us that love is everlasting!

I received a print copy of THE SCOTTISH WITCH from Avon for this review.(less)

Harry has come to Scotland, where the curse began, in hopes of finding a way to break it. Now he is traveling all over the area looking for anyone who could be a witch. Portia and her mother and sister have come to live in Scotland to save money. Her father had left them destitute and reliant on the charity of family members. When she stumbles across what looks like a book of spells with the name Fenella in it, she decides to impersonate a witch and take some of Harry's money. This leads to them working together to find the answers Harry needs.

I liked both Harry and Portia. She is the practical backbone of the family. Her sister Minnie is beautiful and in love with the local doctor. Mom refuses to admit the dire straits they are in and is pushing Minnie to marry well, trying to drive away the doctor. One rainy day Portia discovers a book of recipes and spells and a small white cat. When she hears about Harry's search for a witch she decides to take advantage. When she meets Harry in her disguise she doesn't expect the zing of attraction. She also doesn't expect the impassioned plea for help from the arrogant Englishman. When he discovered who she was and confronted her, their passion overwhelmed them both and they began meeting secretly. I liked the way that Portia had put her family first for so long, but has come to realize that she wants something for herself too. She is sure this time with Harry won't end well but she's willing to risk it. I also like the way that she helps Harry even though she doesn't believe in witches and curses. As their affair heats up Portia discovers she's losing her heart to Harry, even though he has said he will not fall in love. I loved the way that she tried to protect him at the end.

Harry has changed a lot from the first book (Lyon's Bride). In that he was trying to fight his memories of the war with alcohol, opium and women. Now he has cleaned up his act and is determined to find a way to end the curse that is killing his brother. He has come to Glenfinnan in hopes of finding someone connected to the original Fenella who made the curse. When he receives a note from a "Fenella" who claims to be able to help him, he meets with her. He is desperate enough to beg for her help and agrees to meet with her the next night, but she doesn't show up. This infuriates him as he feels that she took advantage of his desperation and he tries to find her. When he does his anger turns to passion. He feels a connection to Portia that he has never felt with another woman, but because of the curse he refuses to allow himself to take a chance on love. I liked the way that they worked together to see what they could find out about the curse. I could see that Harry's connection to Portia was turning into love but he was still stubbornly denying it to her and himself. I loved the ending with his big declaration.

I also enjoyed the two secondary romances of Portia's mother and sister. Portia was furious at her mother's interference and I loved the pep talk that she gave to Minnie's suitor. Her mother was a real piece of work that I found to be terribly self-centered through most of the book. I loved the way that Portia finally stood up to her and told her off. I also liked Harry's part in the way that he encouraged the General in his pursuit of Portia's mother. The little white cat is an interesting twist. I have a suspicion about her place in the story so it will be interesting to see if I'm right.(less)

After a young woman commits suicide due to an unfaithful lover, her mother places a curse on the man and his family. If a Chattan man falls in love, he will die after siring a son to continue the witche's prophesy. Harry and his two siblings, Neal and Margaret, are the first in the Chattan line to be more than a one child generation. It is because of this that they hope to change what they see as their fate…to live without love and a family to avoid death.

Harry Chattan is a man on a mission. He has traveled to the wilds of Scotland to find a witch to reverse the family curse. His older brother is succumbing to the mystery illness that has claimed all the previous Chattan men after they sired a son. Harry is determined to find an answer and believes against all hope he will find the cure in Scotland. A decorated war hero, Harry has his own demons that have haunted him.

Portia Maclean has much more mundane problems to worry about than a family curse. Thanks to a adulterous and wastrel father, the family has been left bouncing from family member to family member as poor relations. After being sent to the country and renting a small cottage home that is falling down around their ears, they are facing eviction because their family has conviently forgotten to send money to support them. Add to that a mother that is in denial about her late husband, and a sister that has managed to anger the landlord's jealous daughter with her beauty and to fall in love with the homely town doctor, and you have a distressing mess. Portia devises a plan to pretend to be the witch Harry is searching for, believing the money she will gain will make her conscious feel better about fooling an Englishman. Little does she know a mysterious cat has other plans for her, much less that she finds the Englishman in question to be humble and genuinely concerned for his family.

I found this book to be a little slower paced than the first in the series. Although it took a little longer to pick up, I wouns up really enjoyed this mix of characters. Portia is the main provider for the Maclean family; she cares for each member, makes sure to pay the bills and doles out what little she has saved in the way of money as she can. She is fiercely devoted to her beautiful sister, who is just as pretty on the inside as she is outside. She tries to keep her meddling mother from ruining the blossoming romance of the town doctor and Minnie, her sister. Portia reminds me a lot of most women I meet: devoted, headstrong, and sometimes a little derogatory to herself. She tries to provide for her family's needs before her own happiness.

Harry is a devil-may-care rake, albeit a disillusioned and fearful one. I expected a lot of things of Harry - none of them overly great. I must admit that I was pleasantly fooled. His love for his brother touched my heart. He was truthful to the point of pain, humbling himself before a “witch” in order to save his brother's life. Harry made me remember the bonds that siblings have and the overwhelming need of all people to love and be loved, no matter the obstacles in the way. His war memories and coping mechanisms, alcohol and opium, made me feel like I was reading a story about a 21st century soldier with PTSD and the spiral into an abyss of his own making.

Ms. Maxwell again delivers a compelling and heartfelt read to her fans. I can't wait to read the next in the series, The Devil's Heart: The Chattan Curse. (less)

Why? WHY!?!? … I’ll tell you why. The ending pissed me off so much that I just wanted to chuck it. Stupid effin cliff hanger… I know that it’s a series but really, that’s where you’re going to end it Cathy. Right there, you couldn’t have gone on just a little bit further. AAAARRRGGGHHHHH…..
I was so mad at the ending , that when I sat down to write this review I realized that my brain had thrown up a big blinking sign that said “STUPID %&$*@* ENDING!!!” I actually reread the book just so I could write a semi coherent review. You know what, I loved the book the second time just as much as the first time I read it. That says a lot for a book as I typically don’t reread many.
I have fallen completely in love with this series. As I wrote in my review of the first in the series, Maxwell’s writing is superb. She just pulls you in and you are thrown headfirst into her world. The fullness of her writing style is even better in this second one. You really do feel that you are right there with her characters, feeling every pain they feel, each soft caress, the hardness of…. okay so I’m getting off track.
Harry is now clean and sober and on the path of finding a cure for the Chattan Curse. He has ended up in Scotland to try to find something of Fenella that will help. That is where he meets Portia. She is trying to keep her family from falling from society. She meets Harry after posing as a witch to try and earn some money for her family. Unbeknownst to them other forces are at play and sparks begin to fly. As the story progresses….
You know what; I keep writing and erasing this review. I can’t seem to talk about the story without giving too much away. There are some great bits in this one that add to the overall Chattan story line that are just too juicy to spill. So you know what, I’m not even going to try to keep this up.
I enjoyed this book, I loved the characters and the story. Go read it. Oh and just so you know, the next one comes out in May 2013!

So let me start from the beginning: The Scottish Witch is the second book in the Chattan Curse series. It has a fabulous and intriguing premise: The Chattan line has been cursed for centuries because their ancestor hand fasted to the daughter of Fenella, and then abandoned her for a wealthy English heiress. Fenella cursed the Chattan men that once they have married and fallen in love, and ensured the continuation of their line with an heir, they die. For centuries, this has proved to be true up to and including the last Earl of Lyon, who died after a second marriage to an opera dancer.

Neal’s story in Lyon’s Bride was so-so, and I wasn’t entirely fond of that book either. This one is better, because it has the one character that I really liked — Harry. He’s introduced as a former military officer, who had glorious victories but many casualties. The weight of which are on his mind, causing an addiction to opium and alcohol. The problem with The Scottish Witch is that all the development for Harry’s character is in the first book, which really short changed first-time readers. The scene at the end of Lyon’s Bride in which Harry kicks his habit should have been reprinted or in the second book altogether. He faced a huge daunting task to kick his addiction, and a reader who’d never read the first book has no way of knowing, other than Maxwell offering some brief references to it. He never tells Portia the extent of his proble — and in the beginning of the book, Harry is determined to return to his former life after finding the witch Fenella and saving his brother’s life. So I’m supposed to believe he meets Portia and all is well? Maxwell cheats the reader on a wonderful character. An entire star is lost here.

Portioa, on the other hand, is a wonderful character with a lot of complexity whom I found vastly entertaining. She’s fiercely devoted to her family and keeping them solvent, which leads her to pose as Fenella so her family can pay the rent. My problem with Portia is that the consummation scene feels wrong. She’s not much of an active participant and it bordered on…not force exactly, but she was never quite swept away. She later becomes Harry’s mistress without ever asking him for more and never asking him to clarify his position with her. That felt wrong for me. Portia becomes passive once she hooks up with Harry.

And my final problem with this story is the same frustrating one I had in the last book, and several others: There’s too much telling. Maxwell glosses over entire events, does little to develop the character’s relationship once they’re actually together. Harry only offers for Portia’s hand once they’re caught together. This book felt underdeveloped, like it was missing huge chunks. It doesn’t feel complete.

Maxwell is still an engaging writer, and I enjoyed the first half of the novel quite well, until the leads came together and began their affair. After that, it’s a slow slide into annoying without much payoff. I’ll finish the trilogy to see how it turns out, but I’m not entirely satisfied because I’ve read all of her books. I know she can do better. She has. (less)

The curse of death is still following the Chattan men once they find love. First, Neal (Lyon’s Bride) fell in love but now he’s growing weaker by the day. This time around, it’s his brother Harry’s turn. But Harry’s a rake, never staying with a woman for longer than a day or two so he, along with their sister Margaret, think that they’ll be safe. They refuse to fall in love and in an attempt to find a way to lift the curse, Harry goes off in search of a witch who can help him help his brother. He travels back to the area where the original curse, hundreds of years ago, took place and runs across Portia. A woman who deceives him, pretending initially to be a witch in order to earn money her family desperately needs. Harry soon sees her for who she truly is and they both start to experience something very intense as though their meeting was meant to be.

Portia is on the way to becoming a spinster. Her father was notorious for being unfaithful and having to support many different women and kids. After his death, Portia, her mother and her sister have no money and are struggling to keep a roof over their heads. Portia is keeping everything together, barely, so when she hears that a man is in town looking for a witch and is willing to pay, she becomes witchy, is convincing and comes away with a bit of money from Harry. Portia has always lived in her beautiful sister’s shadow. Her feelings are rarely taken into consideration and it’s just expected that she’ll always be the one to take care of their mother as both her mother and her sister don’t even consider that Portia might long for something more in her life. But Portia is resigned to the life she’s living until she crosses paths with Harry. There’s certainly something in the air because these two characters are such opposites, Harry a handsome playboy, Portia a plain wallflower, but they come together one night and it’s almost like magic pulls them together and they have a very intense night together. Of course, the curse is hanging heavy over Harry’s head and once love comes into the picture, his death becomes something that’s heading towards him quickly.

I knew going in that this is a series centered around this Chattan curse and since there are three Chattan siblings, it would only figure that the curse would be a main storyline throughout all three books. I was good with this in book 1, even though it ends in a happy for now moment since, well, the hero is dying. I guess I had hoped as I read this book that there would be a more definite outcome with the curse, something to move that storyline along quickly, but it’s still hanging out there just as it was after book 1 and we’re left again with a happy ending, but a dying hero.

Early on, I had a few issues with some of the supporting characters, specifically the mother. I couldn’t stand her and she took away from the enjoying the story for me. She’s very much “woe is me”, wallowing in pity that a husband who never showed her or their family true love or devotion has died and she’s all alone. She leaves everything to Portia, expects her to take care of her and their house and the tipping point for me was when Portia brings home the money she got from Harry, money they need to pay back rent and save for future bills. The mother takes the bulk of the money and goes dress shopping. I still can’t decide if I’m more annoyed at the mother for being oblivious and self-absorbed or at Portia for telling her mother about the money to being with. I didn’t find her character to be appealing at all and yet she even finds a happy ending, but I couldn’t buy into that relationship for her as it happens with a man who’s loved her from afar for years and who is truly too good for the woman.

As for the main romance between Harry and Portia, it has some sexy moments, but there really wasn’t anything that wowed me with their relationship. Early on, Harry takes Portia’s virginity and they keep meeting in secret. Portia knows she should stop as her reputation is already ruined but neither person can stay away. Harry is a fine hero, there’s just nothing about him that really stands out or will make me remember him. My heart softened a little more towards Portia. I think it’s easier to identify with the everyday heroine, the one who needs spectacles, worries about the bills, does the cleaning, it’s easy to feel for the character who does the thankless jobs and isn’t the belle of the ball. I wished for Portia to be happy and while we get a happy ending, I'd have liked something more solid. Not another to be continued into the next story.

I felt like this was a good story but not a stand out. The romance had its moments but was a bit underwhelming. My attention was drawn to Portia throughout and her own personal story. I wanted her happy, I wanted her to be taken care of since she’s been doing the care taking for years on her own and she gets that. For now. But I’m in this until the end and even though I’m a little ‘eh’ about the ending, I’ll be picking up book 3 and hoping that the curse finally comes to a conclusion.(less)

(June) I enjoyed this book so much more than the first in the series, which I found plodding and borderline boring. I was surprised that Harry never tells Portia of his troubled past, but was amazed to see him humble himself before her and beg for his brother's life (when he thinks she is the witch who can break the curse placed upon his family). The relationship was sweet and sexy and fun - and ultimately doomed, unless sister Margaret can break the curse once and for all (as a long time romanc...more

Over two hundred years ago, Charles Chattan broke the heart of a woman who loved and trusted him. The brokenhearted woman, Rose, who had the gift of sight like her mother, Fenella, committed suicide. Devastated, her mother cursed him and his descendants so that any Chattan male, who fell in love, would have his heart struck with fire from Heaven. Then Fenella threw herself onto her daughter’s body, which lay upon a blazing funeral pyre. Six months later, after having recently declared to his friends that he had fallen in love with his bride, his heart just stopped during dinner with guests. Afterwards, generation after generation tried to break the curse, without success.

At twenty-seven and lacking a dowry, Portia MacLean was a penniless spinster. She had made peace with that. After all, her father, Blackjack MacLean, had taught her how selfish men could be. A captain in the army, he had had several families scattered around and when he died, he left them destitute. Exiled to Scotland by her uncle, who considered living in the ramshackle place there would be cheaper, Portia, with her sister, Minnie, and their self-absorbed mother, Lady MacLean, were about to be thrown out into the streets. The pension due from their uncle was long overdue and a representative of the landlord had just left, giving her one week to come up with the money. On top of that, the landlord’s daughter, Lady Emma, did not want them there due to her jealousy of Portia’s beautiful sister, Minnie. Desperate, she searches her brain for a way to come up with the money. While searching the estate, she discovers a book of spells and a cat resembling an owl that seems to be listening and understanding everything that Portia says. Then, hearing about the Chattan Curse and Harry Chattan’s current mission, she figures she may just have the answer to her dilemma.

Harry Chattan, a colonel in the British army, returned to Glenfinnan in Scotland, where Charles, the first cursed Chattan, had lived. He was searching for a witch, Fenella, or someone connected to her to break the curse as his brother is dying. He was certain that some part of Fenella was still around, even after over two hundred years, or else the curse would not be as strong as it is. He is so desperate to find this person that he has offered three hundred pounds sterling to have the curse removed. But, after a week of searching, the only thing he had found was that Highlanders had long memories. However, his brother has fallen in love and his wife is about to have a child, so Harry does not have long to find a way to have the curse lifted. Just as he is about to leave town, he receives a message.

Three hundred pounds would set up Portia and her family for a while, so, believing she can use the spell book she found to help her, she sends a message to Harry, asking him to meet her, and signs it Fenella. Harry meets with ‘Fenella,’ gives her fifty pounds and promises her the rest when she lifts the curse. Promising to meet him the very next night, she goes home, but when the next day arrives, she is unable to meet with him. Feeling that he has been used, he searches for her, although he doesn’t know what she looks like. However, he begins to realize that she wore spectacles. But even that does not help until he gets a little mystical help.
As he suspects that Portia may be the ‘Fenella’ who met with him in disguise, things turn heated and Portia finds herself falling in love. But, unfortunately, if he feels the same, he will die, unless they can find a way to end the curse. Will Portia be the cause of his death, or will they find a way to end the curse?

A magical tale, THE SCOTTISH WITCH, the second book in New York Times bestselling author Cathy Maxwell’s CHATTAN CURSE series, is a sensual, suspense-filled historical romance that is sure to captivate readers from the very first page. I absolutely loved this story and devoured it in the space of one day. These two were meant for each other. Harry is so self-sacrificing, willing to give his life to save that of his brother’s, whereas Portia has sacrificed her chance at a life of her own to provide for her family. I could not help from cheering them on as I eagerly turned the pages. Packed with interesting characters, a curse, a book of spells, clever banter, magic, passion, reincarnation, Scotland, romance and love, including that between siblings as well as the love of a man and a woman, this story is one you will not soon forget. Although this story is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone, but for additional insight into the series and for additional enjoyment, I advise also reading the first book in the series, LYON’S BRIDE. Now I am anxiously awaiting the release of the final book in this trilogy, THE DEVIL’S HEART, due out in May, 2013. In the meantime, for a terrific story with plenty of spice, wit and magic; do not miss THE SCOTTISH WITCH!

I liked the premise: an entire line of men are cursed to die when they find love, thanks to the selfish actions of an ancestor. Each book in the series follows a different Chattan man as he tries to avoid love and the subsequent death that will surely follow. In this installment, the hero is Harry Chattan, a man on a mission to break the curse in order to save his brother's life.

Harry's brother Lyon was the hero of book one. He fell in love despite his best efforts to avoid it and now he is at death's door. Harry is trying to track down the witch who created the curse... or any witch, really, who could help get rid of it. His search brings him to the Scottish town where Portia has moved with her mother and younger sister.

Portia has essentially given up on a life of her own. At 27, she isn't really swimming in prospects and --besides-- her younger sister needs her help to find happiness, and that's saying nothing of her selfish, widowed mother. But in the attic of their family home, Portia finds the spell book of Fenella, her witchy ancestor who started the Chattan curse. When she finds out a new man in town is offering big money to find a witch, she aims to use the book to earn the money her family so desperately needs to survive. Of course, her meeting with Harry sets them irrevocably on the path to love.

I liked both characters well enough. But I was put off by the progression of their relationship. First of all, their first coupling was way too abrupt and I wasn't entirely comfortable with whether Portia was a willing enough participant. The sex scenes, in general, felt rushed. It seemed like we zoomed through a lot of things I would have liked to see really play out on page, rather than just be told that they happened. I never really felt like I saw these two fall in love, even though they obviously do.

It isn't bad. It just doesn't live up to its potential. --It's also a HFN, as opposed to an HEA, which doesn't bother me, but it may not sit right with all readers.

Rating: C+

P.S. I hate it when the cover models look nothing like characters in the book are described. Does this make me petty?

This story is a very enjoyable, romantic and entertaining addition to the Chattan Curse series. I'm not a fan of curse plots but I'm glad to say that Maxwell is proving her newest series is worth reading. It's refreshing to come across a lead couple who are independent thinkers yet not so stubborn as to refuse adjusting to their circumstances and to where life leads them. Harry and Portia chose to embrace their chance at love in spite of the very real threat to his life. I also enjoyed reading a...more

Her time for that has passed and since her father left their small family with absolutely nothing to live on when he died, they have moved to Scotland, where life is a bit cheaper and maybe they can find someone who is willing to marry her beautiful, but penniless, sister. Portia works hard to keep the financially stable, which is a difficult feat when her mother refuses to accept they are too poor to waste money on fancy dresses when the landlord is demanding rent or they’ll be thrown out. Harry Chattan is on a mission. He must find a way to break the Chattan curse and save his brother, who is fading fast. Whenever a Chattan male falls in love, he dies. Not instantly, but usually within 6 months, he is buried and he cannot tolerate the idea of burying his brother. He thinks he has finally found Fenella in Scotland, but later learns it was simply a girl masquerading as her to get money. But he becomes so captivated by this imposter that he can’t leave and he’s convinced that this girl really can help.

It’s as difficult for me to write this review as it was for the first book in this series. Generally, when I read a HR from an author I’ve enjoyed, I love them. There is rarely a case where I just don’t love it and this is the second book in a row that it has happened with. I had so many issues with this. The characters were fine for the first half of the novel and then it’s like when Portia and Harry finally got together, everything went to hell. Portia went from being headstrong to blindly following Harry. Harry went from being a one night stand guy to having multiple clandestine meetings with the same woman. Even Portia’s mother changes, going from a stubborn woman with interests only for herself to appearing to truly care about her children’s happiness.

The plot was entirely predictable. You could see where it was going from page one, which isn’t normally a complaint for HR because with all of them, you know the hero and the heroine will end up together at the end, that’s always a given, but this one was even more so. Another issue I had was with the first time Harry and Portia have sex. It read less like consensual fornicating and more like rape. They just start making out and then suddenly they are fucking. He gives Portia no real warning and there is barely any foreplay. I mean, I get that Harry felt a sense of need and urgency, but he had to know that Portia was innocent and that she wouldn’t realize the implications of what she was doing or what his intentions were until after the fact. It just felt wrong.

Really, this novel isn’t all that bad, which is why it gets three stars, but I just didn’t love it. I’m going to finish this series, but I don’t have overly high hopes for the final book. Thus far, I am highly disappointed in this series and I cannot believe that cliffhangers are invading this section of fiction. I thought they were better than that…..maybe I was wrong.

When compared to the first book in the series, this one is definitely slower paced however still quite compelling, heartfelt with a nice mix of characters. Portia is a very family orientated woman, devoted and headstrong as well as a good provider. Harry doesn't fall short off the mark, even though not expected of him. His love for his brother is overwhelming and beautiful. Both characters showed so much love for their family - a joy to read.

This is such exactly what many readers are looking for when it comes to historical romance. It's a page turner with not just a great romance, but also a mystery, and a supernatural element as well. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough as I learned more about the curse. The chemistry between the two leads was fantastic! At times it felt like it was the curse that had the sparks flying, but I think it was just the curse that brought them together, and the sparks they made all on their own.

Whereas LYON'S BRIDE alone was only good read, it was a great setup for this novel. Having read it, I thoroughly enjoyed THE SCOTTISH WITCH, the second book in the Chattan Curse series by Cathy Maxwell because of the history known of the story and having already met Harry. Not only is the relationship between Harry Chattan and Portia MacLean much more vibrant and magical, in that I got the definite impression that Owl might very well have a lot to do with their instant and passionate attraction to each other, but because I had already found myself attracted to Harry from the first book. After he meets Portia, who I so very strongly related to, Harry brings her alive and as she does him. The pair are wonderful together, charming and endearing. Harry is a good man with a loyalty that cannot be struck down by the meanest curse and when he extends that loyalty to Portia, you just want to embrace the man and wish him for your own.

THE SCOTTISH WITCH by Cathy Maxwell is fast-paced, character rich, and leads the reader into an even greater mystery with a teaser end that will have clamouring for the next installment. We are definitely left with an I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT yearning to read the next book in the Chattan Curse series, THE DEVIL'S HEART - which won't come to us until the end of April - darn it!!

I highly recommend THE SCOTTISH WITCH by Cathy Maxwell, if you've read LYON'S BRIDE. If you haven't then do and get yourself caught up in this series. It's truly bewitching!

Because Charles Chattan broke the heart of Scottish lass Rose, her witch mother Fenella cursed the male descendants. If they fall in love, they will die. Every one for generations has fallen before the birth of their first son except for the most recent generation which consists of two sons and a daughter. Although the three vowed to remain out of love, the eldest fell and started feeling symptoms. This is the second book with second son Harry traveling to Scotland, seeking a way to end the curse.

Of course he does not anticipate meeting Portia, poor plain spinster, sister to the beautiful Minerva and daughter of a snobbish mother. Portia is a delight-loyal to her family, strong, protective, fun. The pair meet when she pretends to be a witch in order to earn the reward he offers. Pretty soon the physical attraction between the two is bouncing off the walls but as Portia falls in love with Harry, they know it would be the death of him and he resists.

Although I was highly anticipating this book, I ended up feeling very disappointed. Harry is very flat here despite being charming and undergoing a great trial in the first book. Almost immediately after meeting, the two begin their physical relationship and while we are told about the talks they share, the reader isn't really privy to them. I felt like I was supposed to care about the characters either because of my previous experience reading about Harry or because that's what you do when you read romance. But I found the whole very unsatisfactory. Subplots of Portia's sister and mother's courtships were a nice addition to pad out the story but were insufficient to cover up the lack of depth in Portia and Harry's relationship.

On the other hand, I did like the supernatural elements. Possibly Fenella has been reincarnated as a cat and that is how she is keeping the curse strong. I love cats so I just like thinking about that sweet ball of fur lounging around and getting the better of everyone.

Overall: A disappointing sequel although I am still curious to find out how Margaret Chattan is going to break the curse as she must (and who she is going to fall in love with)!(less)

In the seventeenth century, Charles Chattan broke the heart of Rose of the Macnachtan, who then committed suicide. Her mother, a powerful witch, cursed not only Charles, but his entire line. When a Chattan male falls in love, he will die. The curse has proved true for centuries, and by 1814, Neal, Harry, and Margaret Chattan are the last of Charles’s line. Neal, Earl of Lyon, has already fallen in love and he’s growing weaker by the day. It’s up to his brother, Harry, to find a way to break the curse before it’s too late. Harry is desperate to save his brother and his search brings him to Scotland…and Portia Maclean.

Portia Maclean doesn’t believe in magic, but when she hears a rich Englishman is searching for a witch, she masquerades as one to save her family from ruin. Only Colonel Harry Chattan isn’t the arrogant, deluded Englishman she expects to find. Soon, Portia is drawn into Harry’s quest…and into his arms. But will their closeness help bring about an end to the curse? Or will it cost Harry his life?

Curses, witches, and a love destined to be all blend together in The Scottish Witch. Harry is a man who has battled personal demons and come out the victor. He’ll need his strength, for in The Scottish Witch he’s racing against time to break a powerful curse. I loved the first half of The Scottish Witch, for author Cathy Maxwell gave a great sense of urgency to Harry’s search. The energy of the story is reduced in the second half as the romance becomes the central part of the story. It isn’t that I didn’t like Portia; I adored her. She’s smart, resourceful, and protective of a family who doesn’t appreciate her as they should. I wanted her to find happiness with Harry. But the love story felt a bit disjointed. I felt like I was being told the relationship developed rather than seeing it, which made the second half of The Scottish Witch slightly less entertaining than the first half of the book.

The Scottish Witch is the second book in the Chattan Curse series. It can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading the series in order, starting with Lyon’s Bride, because of the overarching storyline. Ms. Maxwell has an interesting and problematic premise with The Chattan Curse series. I admit, the tension in both Lyon’s Bride (Neal’s book) and The Scottish Witch is high since you don’t know how the heroes will live. However, the storyline which makes the series unique also makes the romance a bit bittersweet since the heroes are dying and you don’t really get a sense of “happily ever after.” I hope when the curse is broken in the final book that readers will get a better sense of the future of the Chattan family as a whole.

Overall I enjoyed The Scottish Witch. Harry and Portia are likeable characters and Ms. Maxwell has me invested in the overall series plot. I’m looking forward to seeing how Margaret will break the curse in The Devil’s Heart.(less)
