Romance Historical
CAUGHT BY THE SCOT is a fabulously witty and irresistibly
sexy Scottish
historical romance from New York Times bestseller Karen
Hawkins. Fans of Julia Quinn, Monica McCarty, and Julie
Garwood will be won over by the spellbinding Made to Marry series. I really enjoyed reading CAUGHT BY THE SCOT and feel it
is the perfect book to enjoy with a hot cup of tea while
snuggled in a warm blanket. Hawkins has written another
witty and charming romantic story that will melt your
heart leaving you with a warm fuzzy feeling. The story
begins when Connor and his brothers go visit their sister
who is expecting a baby. When they arrive, they discover
that their sister has passed away while giving birth
leaving her husband and infant son behind. They are all
upset and heartbroken. This is when their brother-in-law
tells them of their sister's wishes. She wants all of
them to find a bride within three months or they will
lose their inheritance. If they do not find a bride then
their inheritance will go to their enemies, a fellow
clan. This makes all of them furious. Connor soon thinks
of one woman he could marry, a girl he grew up with that
is the sister of his closest friend. He knows she is a
spinster and knows she will be grateful for his offer.
However, when he arrives at her home, he quickly learns
that she has eloped with a farmer. That is when he chases
after them. Thea is in love with Connor but she never
gets to see him so when Lance shows up telling her he
loves her she agrees to marry him. Soon she realizes that
Lance does not see her has a woman but as a spinster.
This is where all the drama begins. Karen Hawkins really writes
with lots of emotion. There is a mesh of truly deep feelings
with enough lightheartedness and characters buildup
that will leave you wanting more.
SUMMARY
Dashing Scottish privateer Conner Douglas must marry a
respectable, well-born woman—
and soon, if he wants to secure his rightful inheritance.
Determined to still
explore the high seas as well as his mistresses’ beds, he
aims to find a pliable
wife who’ll turn a blind eye to his antics. And he knows
just the woman—childhood
friend and mousy spinster Miss Theodora Cumberbatch-
Snowe. Unbeknownst to Conner, meek and plain Theodora has been
hopelessly in love with him
for years. But unwilling to wait forever for what will
never happen, Theodora plans
to wed a kind—if unexciting—local landowner, leaving
behind the wild Highlander of
her dreams. Yet Conner refuses to let his perfect wife get away. He
chases her to Gretna Green
and is shocked to discover the real Theodora is an ardent
and wildly sensual woman.
Soon he realizes his passion to win her has nothing to do
with securing his
inheritance and everything to do with earning the love of
the unforgettable woman
who has vowed to leave him in her past forever. But have
his wandering ways chased
the woman he loves away for good? Or can Conner convince
Theodora to give him one
last chance before she marries the wrong man?
