It's Getting Scot in Here (Wild Wicked Highlanders, #1)

by Suzanne Enoch

The first in a wickedly seductive new Scottish historical romance series from New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Enoch!

HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER
London socialite Amelia-Rose Baxter is nobody’s fool. Her parents may want her to catch a title, but she will never change who she is for the promise of marriage. Her husband will be a man who can appreciate her sharp mind as well as her body. A sophisticated man who loves life in London. A man who considers her his equal―and won’t try to tame her wild heart...

IN THE HIGHLANDS
Rough, rugged Highlander Niall MacTaggert and his brothers know the rules: the eldest must marry or lose the ancestral estate, period. But Niall’s eldest brother just isn’t interested in the lady his mother selected. Is it because Amelia-Rose is just too. . . Free-spirited? Yes. Brazen? Aye. Surely Niall can find a way to soften up the whip-smart lass and make her the perfect match for his brother for the sake of the family.

JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT HOTTER.
Instead it’s Niall who tempts Amelia-Rose, despite her reservations about barbarian Highlanders. Niall finds the lass nigh irresistible as well, but he won’t make the mistake his father did in marrying an Englishwoman who doesn’t like the Highlands. Does he have what it takes to win her heart? There is only one way to find out...

I love me some good regency and highlander romances! I love the time period. Fascinated by it, really. If I could be born in any era, it would be the regency era and live in either Highland Ireland or Regency England during that period. I mean seriously. The men of that time are to literally die for. I love their descriptions, I love their accents coming off the pages of the books, I’m just simply a regency lover. No doubt about it.

Sitting down to read Enoch’s first book in her Wild Wicked Highlanders series was an absolute joy. Enoch created a wonderful plot line and filled it with beautifully chiseled characters. She has a master talent for making them come to life, that’s for sure! Whewee! Those darling Scottish men…..yes please!

Niall and Amelia-Rose are wonderful characters. I loved seeing them together. Their friendship blossomed, and their love was just right. I loved seeing it develop and felt every spark of passion between them as if I was in Amelia-Rose’s shoes and Niall was my guy. Loved that feeling!

Enoch has definitely hit a home run with this 4 star book, in my opinion. It’s got the perfect blend of sass, romance, captivating characters and room for so much more with the next books in the series. These Scotsmen and their ladies have definitely stolen my heart for the long haul and I can’t wait for the next one.

When I first saw the title of It’s Getting Scot in Here, I immediately thought of the Nelly song. Every time I saw the title, it made me smile.

Now, that I have expressed my love for the title, let’s get onto the review.

I thought that Niall and Amelia-Rose’s love story was perfect. Their romance was bumpy with obstacles thrown at them from all directions. That made me love it more!! I like perfect, fairy tale romances. But I also like romances that show that love is hard and not perfect. And in this case, it wasn’t.

It’s Getting Scot in Here is set in one of my favorite eras, the Regency era. The author did a fantastic job of describing what Regency-era London looked like. She also did a fantastic job of showing the tensions between the Scottish and the English. Niall, Aden, and Coll’s distaste at everything English were palpable. Amelia-Rose’s parents were the same way against the Scottish. I loved reading a romance that was able to keep to the era.

I liked Amelia-Rose. She was outspoken and not afraid to let people have it. Her actions at the ball showed that. I did feel bad for her. Her mother was status hungry. Amelia-Rose received 4 marriage proposals turned down because the men weren’t titled. I will admit, Amelia-Rose did come off as a snob at the beginning of the book. But considered how she was raised and what was expected from her, I didn’t expect anything less. So, it was interesting when she started to fall in love with Niall.

I understood why Niall was so angry at the beginning of the book. His mother, who left when he was 7, dropped a bomb on him and his brothers. In order for them to keep their lands, they need to marry English women. One had to marry a woman that she chooses. The other two can marry whoever they want but it has to be English. So yeah, I would be mad too. Then, Coll goes on a bender. Which left Niall to pick up his slack. Again, I would be mad too. But, as the book went on, and as Niall started to fall in love with Amelia-Rose, his anger subsided.

The sex scenes in the book were alright. If I had a complaint about anything, I felt that the sex scenes were understated.

The end of the book was a wild ride. So much was going on that I almost couldn’t keep it straight. I loved what Lady Aldriss did. I laughed out loud at that. I also liked how Amelia-Rose’s father finally stood up to her mother. I slow clapped at that. The author did a great job of wrapping up all the plotlines about Niall and Amelia-Rose. She did leave enough open for the other brothers to usher in the 2nd book.

I would give It’s Getting Scot in Here an Adult rating. There is sex (not graphic). There is mild violence. There is no language. I would recommend that no one under the age of 21 read this book.

I would reread It’s Getting Scot in Here. I would also recommend this book to family and friends.

I would like to thank the publisher, the author, and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review It’s Getting Scot in Here.

Three brothers. Scottish Earl for a father. Wealthy English lady for a mother. All three forced into an agreement made between their parents. None want to follow it and are paying the price.

Niall MacTaggert, the youngest of the MacTaggert brothers, has always been the peacemaker in the family. When his oldest brother and heir won’t do his part to save the earldom, Niall steps in. It just so happens that spending time with Amelia-Rose, the woman whom his mother chose for the heir to marry, is more than a little pleasant.

Amelia-Rose doesn’t want to marry a rough, tough highlander, but she doesn’t feel like she has a choice. Her mother wants to elevate herself in any way possible, even at the misery of her own daughter. Although Amelia-Rose begins to enjoy her time with Niall standing in for his brother, she’s not sure if he really likes her or is just playing at it until his brother comes back into the picture.

This story surprised and delighted me. It is actually my first read from Suzanne Enoch and I don’t know why I didn’t find her sooner. My expectation of this story was that of Niall and Amelia-Rose falling in love while she was almost engaged to his brother. I thought that would be the whole story. I couldn’t be more wrong. This story twists and turns as these two learn how to love and the truth of that feeling. That is a big issue in this story, what the true feeling is between these characters. They go through several transitions on their journey which is more complicated than I first anticipated.

If you are looking for a story about a kilt-wearing, kind-hearted highlander and a spunky, witty English lass, It’s Getting Scot in Here is the story for you.
