Getting Hot with the Scot (Sometimes in Love, #1)

by Melonie Johnson

IT’S TIME TO FLIRT WITH A MAN IN A KILT

Cassie Crow, a pop-culture reporter for a TV talk show, is focused on becoming a “serious” journalist. But when she stumbles into a kilted Highlander with a killer accent, Cassie decides that taking one night off from work and spending it with a sexy Scot couldn’t hurt. . .

Logan Reid has built a career on his charm, hosting a series of off-the-wall hijinks on the Web. But when the Scottish prankster meets the all-American, equal parts intelligent and irresistible Cassie, Logan realizes that one night of fun won’t be enough. Could it be that this career-focused, commitment-phobic couple is finally ready to take a chance at true and lasting love?

“Witty, sexy, and oh-so-fun. . .Melonie Johnson is an addictive new voice in contemporary romance.” ―New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julie Ann Walker

A bit Hot under his kilt…

If someone was to stand directly in front of me and say BOO, there’s a good chance I may break down in tears. I’m one of those overly sensitive little snowflakes who screams blue murder if someone tries to scare me. I think my boys did it to me once when they were younger…and my tears brought on their tears. The whole thing was a bloody mess and hubby had to calm us all down and give the boys a little talking to. *Don’t scare mummy or she’ll FREAK OUT!!!*

So, you can imagine my surprise (and slight horror) when I started Getting Hot with the Scot and found out that Logan, our hero is a…Prankster. I’m an absolutely dodgy reviewer. When the review request came through, I didn’t even look at the blurb. Modern-day Scot…I’M IN!! Because I didn’t do my due diligence, I decided that I should bury my bias, and give the poor bugger a chance.

Let’s just say that Cassie was a better woman than I ever could be. I guess the hardest part of falling for Logan is that it’s hard to trust a prankster. Big gestures, spontaneous dates and out of character actions are hard to take seriously, and even I found myself doing the old squinty eyes trying to work out if it was a prank or not. Luckily, Logan is not just a prankster. He’s also a sweet, thoughtful and considerate man. I found myself swinging from squinty-eyed to goofy lovey-dovey eyes, with the turn of the page. By the end, I even managed to forget his past misdeeds and looked to the bright future Logan and Cassie were meant to have.

I enjoyed Getting Hot with the Scot and found Melonie Johnson’s writing entertaining, sexy, funny and sweet. The journey for Cassie and Logan was far from smooth and I even had my doubts that things would work out in a way that I could believe in their happy ever after. It all worked out perfectly in the end and I finished with a smile on my face. I loved meeting Cassie’s friends and Logan’s family and his best mate, Theo. I hope to hear more from them in future instalments and I can't wait for The Little Mermaid to see her Prince Charming again.

If you’re looking for a fun read and curious to know what a Scot wears under his kilt, I highly recommend giving Getting Hot with the Scot a go.
