Sloane + Walker

If you've read the Adair series - especially the last book - you already met Sloane and Walker.
Sloane got pregnant with 16. Her rich Bel Air dad basically disowned her after that and she had to stay with the baby's father. But that didn't work out either so she left Nathan when Callie was just a toddler. For the following years they tried to stay as far away from the violent criminal as possible. That's kinda how they ended up in Scotland now - where Sloane is happily working for the Adairs and dreaming of opening her own bakery.

After leaving the military Walker used to travel the world as the bodyguard of one of the famous Adair brothers, but now he's also settled down in Scotland - working security at the Adair estate.

It was insta attraction on both sides. But only Sloane is showing it outwardly. She just can't read Walker, he doesn't smile or talk much. But he seems to always be there to help her when she needs him.

Both Sloane and Walker have troubled pasts - will they finally be able to get that happily ever after together??

Eeep! A new Sam Young series and we don't even have to leave the amazing Adair world!

This was a great start for this new series!
You just can't help but love Sloane and Walker - and Cassie too.
They are so the perfect family already but they just don't know it yet! Too adorable!
I just adored Walker and how he softens (beyond his thistles) every time he's with Sloane and Cassie.
It takes them a while to get that happy end. Lots of bad guys and bad memories are in the way. But we'll get there.

I really loved reading this.
I was a bit mad for the slighty uninspired first danger moment. With all those bodyguards and knowing about the danger - that shouldn't have happened - Sam should/could've changed that a tiny bit.

But I still loved the book so much. I loved all the many Adair cameos.
And we already meet future characters for this Highland series.
GIMMEE!!

Like I already said in my reviews for the Adair books - I could totally imagine this as an amazing Netflix show. We already basically 'see' everything Sam writes about. She describes everything so beautifully. The people, the places... everything. I really need to see this on the screen!

From the covers to the final words ... this series will be just as beautiful as the Adair series!

BEYOND THE THISTLES was the perfect start for this new Adair spin-off series!
Adorable and funny and sweet and dangerous and heartbreaking and very sexy!
Run to your nearest bookdealer for your own Walker Ironside - this one is MINE!

Regina Do you need to read the Adair series before reading this book? I haven’t read any of them.

You don't HAVE to but I would def recommend it because they're all in there and the two from this book are introduced in the final adair book. So I would really read them all first - they're great too!
