IT'S GETTING SCOT IN HERE is the first book in Suzanne Enoch's Wild Wicked Highlanders series. This story opens with a tale that's like a fairy tale gone wrong. Many years ago, the very Scottish Angus MacTaggert, Earl Aldriss, and the very proper English lady Francesca Oswell met, fell in love, and married. Unfortunately, Francesca couldn't stomach the Scottish Highlands for too long, so she eventually took her baby daughter and left her husband and three sons behind. The conditions of her leaving and the family drama fallout from that exodus are the basis for this hero and heroine meeting each other.
Niall is my favorite type of hero -- a mix of strength and sensitivity wrapped up in a sexy Scottish package. Although their parents did them wrong and landed them in a predicament, Niall doesn't want to take that hurt out on Amelia-Rose. Niall recognizes Amelia's innocence in the situation they find themselves in and can't help but be charmed by her wit and her sass. I am a sucker for good dialogue, and this couple falls for each other over several heated looks and interesting conversations. Niall's estranged mother arranges for his eldest brother, the heir, to be Amelia's fiancΓ© but a natural attraction proves to be stronger than any arranged engagement. Just as Niall proves to be a heady combination of sexy and sweet, Amelia is a sympathetic and intelligent heroine. I love how Niall realizes that his best chance to win Amelia's heart is to set her free to make her own choice about who and what she wants in life. I love a couple who get along well and are evenly matched like these two.
IT'S GETTING SCOT IN HERE is exactly the kind of historical romance I crave. The scenes in which Niall wears his heart on his sleeve and utters swoon-worthy romantic lines strike a note of sincerity rather than seeming cheesy. The characters in this story seem very genuine and make you care about them. It will be interesting to see how this relationship between these Scottish brothers and their errant mother will evolve in each book. I look forward to reading Suzanne Enoch's next book.
The first in a wickedly seductive new Scottish historical romance series from New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Enoch!
