It's Getting Scot in Here by Suzanne Enoch
4.0
For all us highlander lovers today, 2-26-19, is a very good day. Suzanne Enoch's It's Getting Scot In Here is out and ready to be devoured. It's Getting Scot is book 1 in the new Wild Wicked Highlander's series. We meet 3 brothers and 1 sister so I'm hoping for at least 3 more books.
The story set up is both a little sad and a hoot. You'll see. Angus MacTaggert, Earl Aldriss, needed a rich wife so he headed to London, why not an English lass? England owed Scotland, so it made sense to Angus. Sassenach Francesca is lovely and already engaged. She and Angus fall instantly in love, betrothed ditched, and boom, it's off to Scotland for the newlyweds. 3 sons and 1 daughter later they become estranged and separate. Francesca pulls one over on Angus before she leaves for London and 17 years later it comes back to haunt him. He's a clodpole so it serves him right. Our story begins with 3 brothers forced to travel to London and dance to their mothers tune, which is the wedding march.
We have brothers Coll, Viscount Glendarril, Aden, and Niall, a most unhappy trio. We're going to explore Niall's journey to love. He's the youngest son, just 24 years old. Niall has no title, not a lot of money, and works the estate alongside his father and brothers. Other than being drop-dead gorgeous there's not much in his favor. He's the peacemaker and fixer of the family. All highlander but with a good head on his shoulders. He's resigned to his marriage fate, knowing a fight can't be won. Their father signed a contract with his wife that she could marry off the boys. The contract details are for you to read about. I'm telling you, Francesca is a wily woman.
Amelia-Rose Hyacinth Baxter is one of those debutants who doesn't take. She's smart, she reads books! She doesn't suffer fools gladly and her direct way of speaking has run off most of the bachelors of the ton. She's a lovely girl, golden hair, a typical English rose, but her inability to simper has become a problem. She's now expected to marry Viscount Glendarril but they don't get along (understatement). Niall, the fixer, escorts Amelia-Rose around and sparks fly. There are problems to be solved and obstacles to be surmounted before the happily ever after. Sometimes duty becomes a pleasure. Sometimes love is most unexpected.
I hope Ms Enoch takes on Aden's story next (hint, hint). I'm intriqued. Right now he's a mystery and I love a good mystery. Happy reading.
I voluntary read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
