It's Getting Scot in Here by Suzanne Enoch
3.25
The basic set up of It’s Getting Scot in Here has a lot of potential for an entertaining romance. Amelia is arranged to wed a titled man she doesn’t care for, only find she’s fallen for his younger brother. However, I found the complicated family dynamics in the background very distracting. The story tries to paint Niall’s mother in a sympathetic light, but I couldn’t stop thinking about how she left her sons in Scotland and never visited them for 17 years. When they arrive in England, she playfully chastises them for being upset, acting as if they’re being silly for feeling abandoned and not wanting a relationship with her. The romance itself was a little dragged out but still pleasant enough. What I found most surprising was how tame the sex scenes were. Honestly, they might as well have been fade-to-black. I would never have thought this were possible in a Highlander romance. Overall, I found the reading experience a bit unexpected, but it was entertaining enough for what it is.
