The Red Cottage by Hannah LinderMy rating: ππππ
Hannah Linder’s gothic stories are just getting better with each book.
This one had my attention from the start, with trying to find out who took Meg away from the fire scene, if the eloquent Lord is in fact sweet and eloquent or is there a more sinister man behind the front, and will Tom be able to win back Meg’s affections.
I adored Tom’s character. Scruffy outside but so much warmth hidden inside. His back story was also heart breaking.
I was totally kept in the dark about who was behind the attacks, even had a different suspect in mind, and never would have guessed who was behind everything. Loss and heartbreak can make people do some unreasonable things in the search for justice and healing.
A book to add to your TBR if you enjoy a gothic recency themed mystery.

About the book:
She forgot she loved him.
He would die to make her remember.
Meg Foxcroft has never minded the tattling village gossip or her uncle’s ill-tempered rebukes. After all, she has Tom McGwen—and one day, they will build their own cottage, paint it red, and live a wonderful life.
But then the unthinkable happens. Meg is attacked, her uncle’s apothecary shop goes up in flames, and when she wakes up in the arms of an eloquent lord, she remembers nothing. Not even her own name.
In a frantic race against time, Tom plunges into dangerous water, bent on sheltering Meg from harm and discovering who wants her dead. Even if she despises him. Even if it’s now the handsome lord she casts her smile upon.
As danger swells and truth comes crashing around them, Meg must confront the past and decide who she trusts—and loves—before the enemy makes the final strike.
