ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 23, 2021

For Regan Penhaligon, there’s no better place to run to than the exclusive Ardnoch Estate in the remote Scottish Highlands. Her impulsive behavior has finally caught up with her and Regan’s visit with her sister, Robyn, is an opportunity to hide from someone who has grown dangerously obsessed with her.

Determined to make amends for her mistakes, Regan plans to repair her relationship with Robyn by staying close. And when an offer of help comes from Thane Adair, Regan gratefully accepts.

Widower, Thane, needs a new nanny housekeeper for his two young children and when they bond with Regan Penhaligon, he offers her the job. But as the weeks pass and the complex American reveals who she really is, Thane struggles with his growing attraction to her.

Regan never expected to feel so intensely for Thane, but she can’t deny her passion for him or her love for his children. When someone from Thane’s past threatens his family, Regan wants to be his pillar of support. However, his continued inability to trust her might just destroy their chance at future happiness… and the person who drove Regan to Ardnoch might snuff out her chance for any future at all.

REVIEW:THERE WITH YOU is the second instalment in Samantha Young’s contemporary, adult ADAIR FAMILY erotic, romance series focusing on the Adair siblings. This is thirty-eight year old, architect and single father Thane Adair, and twenty-five year old nanny Regan Penhaligon’s story line. THERE WITH YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary but for back story I recommend reading the series in order. Thane was first introduced in book one, and is the brother of Lachlan Adair; Regan is Robyn Penhaligon’s half sister (HERE WITH ME #1).

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers. If you have not read book one, there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from first person perspectives (Regan) and third person (Thane) THERE WITH YOU follows in the wake of Regan Penhaligon’s arrival in Scotland months after the attack on her sister Robyn’s life. Robyn, believing Regan is shallow and inconsiderate, struggles with her sister’s arrival, not knowing the extent of Regan’s heart break and pain. Hoping to remain in Scotland for an extended period of time, Regan applies to work as a nanny for Robyn’s future brother in law, Thane Adair, the man with whom she will fall in love. What ensues is the slow building romance and relationship between Thane and Regan, and the potential fall-out as Regan’s returns, and Thane refuses to acknowledge the proverbial elephant in the room.

Thane Adair struggles with issues of trust as it pertains to our story line heroine. Having heard too many horror stories about his future sister in law’s half sister, Thane battles between head and heart but desperate for a nanny, Thane reluctantly hires our story line heroine, only to continue to struggle at every conceivable turn. Regan Penhaligon’s preconceived reputation as undependable and unreliable is destroying her relationship with not only her family but the man that she love but Regan’s past is about to demand her return, and with it threatens all hope for a future with Thane Adair.

The relationship between Thane and Regan begins acrimoniously as Thane believes Regan is unstable and undependable but his children love our story line heroine, and with that, Thane relents to hire the woman with whom he will fall in love . Regan is immediately attraction to Thane Adair but his back and forth, up and down, hot and cold attitude is heart breaking and sad, and with it Regan has fallen in love with a man who is often guarded, angry and cold. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Thane’s children Lewis and Eilidh; his siblings Lachlan, Brodan, Arrochar, and Arran; Regan’s half sister Robyn, and her parents Seth and Stacey; Robyn’s father Mac Galbraith; neighbour Callum McCulloch; yoga instructor Eredine Willows; and Regan’s ex Austin Vale.

THERE WITH YOU is a slow-burn, heart breaking and impassioned story of family and love. The premise is dramatic, intense and compelling; the romance is emotional and sensual; the characters are broken, tragic and flawed.
