It's Getting Scot in Here (Wild Wicked Highlanders #1)
by Suzanne Enoch
Blurb:
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...

Review:
So
another series begins with a sexy set of Scottish Brothers and an all new set
of women get a chance to steal their hearts. I have enjoyed several series in
the past from Suzanne Enoch and was looking forward to this new series for
sure, but the premise of this first novel was a truly surprising one. Our series kicks off with a dying man finally
owning up to his sons about the truth of his and their mother’s long time
separation and the fact that the time has come for him—and them—to deal with
the stipulations of the agreement. But
the brothers have no intention of giving in to their mother’s demands,
especially with their rather skewed views of her nature and their family’s
past. Traveling to England, on the
premise of adhering to the agreement, the brothers quickly make quite the stir
and the middle brother Niall makes a distinct impression on the woman their
mother has selected for his eldest brother to marry, Amelia-Rose. Amelia-Rose is determined to do right by her
family by getting the MacTaggert heir to the altar, but the more time she
spends with Niall, the more she wonders if she has been promised to a family
she could be part of easily, but to the wrong brother entirely. Niall was definitely a sweet but stupid man
to begin this novel; after all did he really think he was making the right
choices when he spent so much time with Amelia-Rose? But once he came to
understand the truth of his feelings for her, he did own up to his mistakes and
desires very quickly and thankfully began to understand that he couldn’t live
without her. Amelia-Rose is the kind of
woman that has lived her entire life at the whims of others, but defying orders
to spend time with Niall is the first thing she has ever done truly for
herself. As she begins to fall deeper
and deeper for Niall, Amelia-Rose finds her own strength and stubbornness that
she has buried deep for years under her duty to her family. I loved getting to
know both of these characters as well as the rest of the MacTaggerts and I am
looking forward to seeing the family in future novels. The passion between Niall and his Amy is
apparent from the first glance between them and only burns hotter the more time
they spend together. I am looking forward to the next two books in the trilogy
and cannot wait to find out what type of women Suzanne pairs them with. Long
live the scots!
