SCOT OF MY DREAMS is Book 2 in Janice Maynard's "Kilted
Heroes" series. Each book in this series follows one of
three friends who have decided to look for romance in
Scotland. Each woman is hopeful yet realistic about their
chances. In SCOT OF MY DREAMS, Willow - perhaps the most
cynical of the three friends - finds a dreamy Scottish
laird when his dog pounces on her. When Willow winds up
staying at the Laird of Dunvarstone's castle, there are
stolen glances, steamy encounters, and sexual tension
galore.
Willow Ryman and Bryce MacBrae, Laird of Dunvarstone are
terribly good people who both take on a lot of
responsibility for others. Willow and Bryce derive a lot
of joy from being together, but the biggest obstacles in
their path are their own doubts and fears. Although they
both eventually give in to their physical attraction, it
is a constant struggle for them to not get too
emotionally attached. Janice Maynard balances the
character-driven storytelling with steamy scenes.
Although Bryce is a hottie, it's very understandable why
Willow wants to try and maintain her emotional autonomy.
Willow's mother went to pieces after Willow's father
walked out on the family when she was younger, and she
never wants a man to have that kind of power over her.
Bryce's sister is a great character and her story is
compelling without taking away from the romance between
Bryce and Willow. The reader gets to know Willow and
Bryce a little bit better through their interactions with
Abigail. With Willow all alone in a strange country, and
separated from her best friends, Abigail provides a
tremendous amount of support and sisterly comfort.
SCOT OF MY DREAMS has a sinfully sexy Scottish laird, a
castle, and a pleasingly pragmatic heroine. SCOT OF
DREAMS is the kind of book that will make you feel swept
away by the romance. There is a lot of yearning and
intense emotions in SCOT OF MY DREAMS but not melodrama.
I can't wait to read the final book in this fun "Kilted
Heroes" series!
In USA Today bestselling author Janice Maynard’s
sweet and sexy new series, three childhood friends with a
shared passion for the Outlander novels and TV show
decide to travel to Scotland looking for adventure—and their
very own Highland heroes…
Willow Ryman is as
crazy about Scotland as her friends, but she’s on a tighter
budget. So during their visit, she opts to stay at a shabby
local hostel instead of a cozy B&B. When the owners
abruptly decide to shut down for renovations, Willow is left
out in the cold—until while exploring the countryside,
Willow meets a handsome, friendly, kilt-clad fisherman. The
Scotsman is everything she’s dreamed about. But he’s a
blueblood, and she’s blue collar…
Bryce McBrae’s
lineage as Laird McBrae has always been more of a burden
than a blessing. Rarely does it spark such stimulating
conversation as he enjoys with the pretty, refreshing
American. Wanting more and unwilling to let Willow slip
away, he invites her to stay at his castle. But as the two
fall hard and fast for each other, they’ll have to decide
whether this is just a vacation fling—or a sexy Cinderella
story come true…
