It's Getting Scot in Here by Suzanne Enoch

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...

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.

I received It's Getting Scot in Here for free. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
