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 fiancé 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!

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...
