When I first read about Samantha Young’s new series the Adair Family, I got super excited. I love Samantha’s books and this book sounded really good. Add a gorgeous cover and I couldn’t have been more excited to start reading. Luckily for me, I’m part of Samantha’s Review team and received the ARC a few weeks before the book would come out and I started reading immediately.

In ‘Here With Me’ we meet Robyn. Robyn is a twenty eight year old who decided to travel to Scotland, to visit her dad who she hasn’t seen in years. Robyn’s father Mac is the head of security of ex-Hollywood actor Lachlan Adair who owns an exclusive club at his family’s land. When Robyn and Lachlan meet they instantly dislike each other. Robyn blames Lachlan for making her dad leave her behind, and Lachlan is sure Robyn is there to hurt Mac. But soon they’ll have to get along because there is trouble lurking.

This book was from the start one I couldn’t put down. I loved getting to know the different characters and the setting in Scotland. I always enjoy romance stories about Hollywood stars and this one was no exception. The two main characters Robyn and Lachlan, which point of views we both read throughout the book, couldn’t have been more different. But that was definitely what made it fun to read. Robyn, a strong independent woman who left her job as an police officer to pursue a career in photography and reconnect with her father. Lachlan, an ex-Hollywood star with trust issues, who wants nothing more than to protect his family and make something from the land he owns.

Although Robyn and Lachlan really don’t like each other, there is this instant chemistry between them that is flying of the pages. And I enjoyed how they both fought hard to resist this intense connection.

But what made this book really fun and a five star read in my opinion, was the combination of romance, family bonding and suspense. Someone is trying to hurt Lachlan, and the people he cares about. And Robyn is determined to figure out who it is. I just couldn’t stop reading and was desperate to find out what was going to happen next.

Throughout this read we also read a little bit about the other Adair siblings, and I honestly can’t wait to read their story as well. The Adairs sure are a fascinating family I’m dying to learn more about.

‘Here With Me’ is a great start to a new series and I couldn’t put it down. The romance is as great as we got to expect of Samantha Young and the suspense kept me guessing and sitting on the edge of my seat. Loved it!!
