THE DEVIL WEARS KILTS is book one in Suzanne Enoch's
Scandalous Highlanders series. This is only the
second book by Suzanne Enoch that I've read, but I really
enjoyed this story and look forward to trying others. I
don't normally read many romances with highland heroes. I
usually find them to be proud and too harsh when dealing
with the heroine. Luckily for me, Ranulf MacLawry -- the
hero of THE DEVIL WEARS KILTS --is delicious.
At the beginning of the story, Ranulf's younger sister,
Rowena, longs to go to London and experience everything
English debutantes do. He ends up having to chase after her
when she sneaks away to do just that. I was worried at first
that Ranulf would be an unyielding, aggressive jerk. I'm so
happy that was not the case. It is apparent almost
immediately how much he loves his sister. It also becomes
apparent that he's a caring leader with sound judgment. It's
not that Ranulf wants to keep Rowena in Scotland for some
arbitrary reason or to just be difficult. Enoch does a great
job of making the reader, and later the heroine, understand
the very real danger that exists in Ranulf's world and his
reasons for why he does the things he does. The scenes
between Ranulf and his sister beautifully illustrate his
character and help the reader understand him better.
As much as I love Ranulf, I like the heroine, Lady
Charlotte Hanover, too. From her first introduction,
Charlotte struck me as intelligent and pragmatic. Given her
past experience with her former fiancé, it is understandable
that she is very sensitive to aggressive actions by men. I
like that she is finally able to see that Ranulf doesn't
have the foolish pride that her former fiancé had. I love
the chemistry between Charlotte and Ranulf. In addition to
physical attraction, they appreciate who the other person is
and they like each other.
I look forward to catching up with Charlotte and Ranulf in
more books in the Scandalous Highlanders series. I
can't wait to read Jane's story and also to see how things
work out for Rowena. THE DEVIL WEARS KILTS by Suzanne Enoch
is a fabulous story with a fabulous hero and heroine!
On a mission to rescue his runaway sister from the lure of
flowery compliments and a useless lot of satin-clad
scalawags disguised by their snooty titles, Ranulf MacLawry,
Marquis of Glengask, has roared into British society like a
storm across the Highlands. But he's about to find out that
satin has its appeal, especially when it covers the curves
of Miss Lady Charlotte Hanover-- whose tongue is as sharp as
her skin is soft...
Lady Charlotte Hanover has had her fill of hot-headed men,
having lost her fiancé in an utterly unnecessary duel. When
did brawn ever triumph over brains? And yet there is
something solid and appealing about the brash Highlander
who's as dangerous in the ballroom as in battle. Sometimes
bigger really is better…in The Devil Wears Kilts by Suzanne
Enoch.
