Description

The second in the seductive new Scottish historical romance Wild Wicked Highlanders series from New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Enoch!

In Scot Under the Covers, a resourceful English lady and a hot-blooded Highlander join forces to trick a scoundrel, and every rule will be broken!

Miranda Harris is known for her charm, wit, and ability to solve any problem she encounters. But when her brother lands neck-deep in gambling debt to a crafty villain and Miranda is subsequently blackmailed into marrying him, she must enlist the help of the devil himself to save the family honor—and herself.

“It’s time to fall in love with Suzanne Enoch.” — Lisa Kleypas

Devilishly handsome Highlander Aden MacTaggert knows next to nothing about the ways of the ton, but he most certainly knows his way around gaming halls and womens’ hearts. Still, Aden is not sure how he’ll manage to find a Sassenach bride in time to save his family’s inheritance. When his almost sister-in-law Miranda comes to him for assistance, he proposes a partnership: She will help him navigate London society and he’ll teach her everything about wagering…and winning back her freedom. The beautiful, clever lass intrigues Aden—but is she playing her own game, or are the sparks between them real? He is accustomed to risking his pocket. But betting on Miranda’s love is a game he can’t afford to lose. . .

I loved this book. Suzanne Enoch writes some of the best highlander books! This is a perfect opposite attracts story. There’s laughter, tears and suspense and great family interaction.
Miranda likes to think of herself as upstanding member of the ton and goes by the rules.
Aden is only in London to find a wife, which he does not want. When he meets Miranda they butt headache in a big way. She doesn’t mince words and tells him exactly what she thinks of him. She’s the most refreshing lass he’s met and is very intrigued with her. She on the other hand wants nothing to do with Aden, until she needs his help. The sparks fly and they both start to see what they want.
I highly recommend this series and please read in order.

The MacTaggert bothers are rude, crude, and socially unacceptable, and absolutely lovable. In short, they are Wild Wicked Highlanders. In this story Aden MacTaggert and Miranda Harris join forces to thwart a sleezy villain’s scheme to force a marriage to Miranda. As their plan progresses, so does the attraction between them.

Scot Under the Covers has a handsome Highlander hero, a headstrong feisty heroine, and a villain who gets his comeuppance. It is a charming romance with a bit of drama, some suspense, and a good dose of humor. The brothers are hilarious and totally devoted to each other. The other characters are clever and entertaining. I love the butler’s patience with the brothers, Ross the deer, and the rescued dog. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to the next one in the series.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.
Witty Highland Tale

By BookwormSFL
I have never read Suzanne Enoch and did not read the first book in this series but I do believe I will. I really enjoyed the banter between the “smart” Miranda Harris and Aden. Especially Aden’s highland brogue. Beyond that,
their attraction was the glue of the story for me.

While Aden tries to get Miranda out of a blackmailing jam, he falls hard as does she. Miranda’s brother and future brothers-in-law to Aden, Matthew, is at the root of the blackmail that could cause their family a disastrous scandal.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange
For an honest review.
Loved Miranda and Aeden

By Gallowaygirly
This is a well written love story that did not start out that way. Miranda had no desire to get to know Aeden, who will become part of her family once their siblings marry but her brother has gotten himself deep in debt and the only way he can dismiss the debt is if she marries the man holding his notes. Because this is a gambling debt and she knows Aeden likes to wager, she goes to him for advise. The more she is around Aeden, the more she sees a different side to him. Eventually things work out for everyone and there is going to be a HEA but a lot happens first. The story is well written and entertaining in that Miranda is very out spoken and so is Aeden which makes for some wonderful banter. It is an excellent story and I would highly recommend it.
4.5-5 Stars!!

4.5-5 Stars! This book was awesome!! I loved it! It’s got everything you could want in a historical romance with hot Scots!! There’s a villain(Captain Robert Vale), a damsel in distress(Miranda Harris), and a hero who doesn’t realize he’s a good guy(Aden MacTaggert)! I do wish Miranda’s brother had been more of a help since she was helping him out! I felt like he got off pretty easily after all that mess! I HIGHLY recommend this book! This is the 2nd book in the series and can be read as a standalone but I’d recommend you read the first book also! Great series so far!! I can’t wait for Col’s book next and I can’t wait to know who the heroine is going to be!!!! Suzanne Enoch is my favorite historical romance author!! She NEVER disappoints!!

A well written, fast paced romance. A underhanded Captain is trying to make a better life for himself. But he didn’t count on a strong willed English women with a tough good looking Highlander on her side.
