Pop Culture reporter Cassie Crow from Chicago is on a tour of Scotland
with her best friends. After having a few too many whiskys, she
stumbles across a supposed time traveller in Edinburgh Castle, who
she recognizes as a shameless internet prankster.... but not before she
started GETTING HOT WITH THE
SCOT.
Logan Reid couldn't resist kissing the unwitting tourist, and he knows
she responded to him. But his main thought is getting her to sign a
release form so he can use the prank he was secretly filming. Cassie is
justifiably furious and there's no way she's going to have her reputation
dragged down -- she wants to be a dedicated journalist and the blow to
her image could ruin that chance. Logan decides to pursue Cassie --
initially for the signed form, but before too long he's interested in
Cassie herself.
Now, realise that this is not a time travel romance, but a contemporary
adult romance, and you can visualise where the story is going. Rather
quickly, but the characters are mature and consenting, and travel
makes life more exciting. Logan turns out to know how to behave like a
perfect gentleman and this is what starts to win him some favour.
Janet Reid, Logan's tough sister, is an interesting side character. She's
the producer of his net show and she thinks only about the ratings.
Making the director part of Logan's family was a great idea by the
author Melonie Johnson, as it does away with a lot of creative disputes
and jealousies, and in theory, the pair have each other's best interests
at heart. Janet has a degree in graphic design and her talents lift the
show out of the ordinary. But she is never willing to admit she's wrong.
I recommend this well-researched read, which is a lot more complex
than it first appears and takes in London and busy Chicago, in addition
to scenic Scotland. As well as a cheeky romance story, Melonie
Johnson deftly portrays the pressures on creative artists in GETTING HOT WITH THE SCOT.
Cassie Crow, a pop-culture reporter for a TV talk show, is
focused on becoming a “serious” journalist. But when she
stumbles into a kilted Highlander with a killer accent,
Cassie decides that taking one night off from work and
spending it with a sexy Scot couldn’t hurt. . .
Logan Reid has built a career on his charm, hosting a series
of off-the-wall hijinks on the Web. But when the Scottish
prankster meets the all-American, equal parts intelligent
and irresistible Cassie, Logan realizes that one night of
fun won’t be enough. Could it be that this career-focused,
commitment-phobic couple is finally ready to take a chance
at true and lasting love?
