I enjoyed "To Conquer a Scot" by Tamara Gill, but I wasn't in love with the main characters, Abby and Aeden.  Abby is a modern, 21st century woman, and Aeden is a 17th century scotsman.  Abby is brought back in time because Aeden's sister Gwen believes Abby is her brother's soulmate.  Aeden isn't happy about this an neither is Abby.  In fact, Aeden contemplates killing Abby so that he can get her out of the way.
But Aeden needs a wife and the highland games are getting underway so that he can choose a future bride.  Abby and Aeden, even though they constantly clash, decide to work together to find Aeden a perfect bride.
I didn't feel the love and attraction between these two.  One day they can't stand each other, as before mentioned Aeden contemplating Abby's murder, and then all of a sudden they are agreeing to a 17th century friends-with-benefits affair.  Didn't feel realistic.
I finished the story and eventually even came to (kind of) like the main characters.  Some of the story wrapped up way too quickly and some parts lingered way too long.  A few passionate scenes, but nothing erotic.  I would recommend this read to readers who enjoy time-travel books, the more I read of them I decide that they aren't quite my thing.

To Conquer a Scot, by Tamara Gill is an interesting historical highlander time-traveling romance.

While vacationing in modern-day Scotland, Abigail Cross unsuspectingly time-travels to the 1600s, due to Laird Aedan Macleod's meddling sister. 

Abigail doesn't want to live in historic Scotland and demands to return home immediately, yet there are various conditions that force her to wait. And Abigail definitely isn't interested in applying for the position of Aedan's wife. Even though he is physically attracted to the time-traveler, Aedan knows he needs to find someone who will benefit his clan.

Due to the highlander games, several clans are visiting while Abigail is trapped in history. It's an interesting story with unique characters, as well as various twists and surprises as the story continues.

As the first book in the Time-Traveler's Highland Love series, To Conquer a Scot is geared towards those who enjoy reading unique historical romances, particularly stories involving highlanders and time-travelers.


Note: I received this book from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

A compelling page turning romance that took me through a gamut of emotions from chuckling to crying. I’m not normally a fan of time travelling novels & Highlanders don’t make me weak at the knees, I was intrigued by Gwen in the prologue but I think what really drew me in was Abby’s idea of a Highlander matched my own so I thoroughly enjoyed having my opinion along with hers changed. Aedan was tall, broad & very handsome & gave the impression of being a dour Scotsman but he had a decidedly soft centre, he was kind, his clan respected him, as he was fair & loyal. Abby was a feisty twenty first century woman who was strong & outspoken who missed many of the modern day necessities particularly toilet paper. Both had known heartbreak & weren’t looking for love but their attraction was immediate & Oh that first kiss on the stairs SO hot & their attraction sizzled. The pace of the book was very good & I read it in under a day, which in itself shows how much I enjoyed it

This time travel romance had me speaking like a Scot and if I say "aye lass, or dinna or wee problem or meddling" just know that I have been influenced by Aedan and Abigail's back and forth teasing.
I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review from NetGalley and was surprised by the element of time travel. What started off as meddling in the eyes of the Laird of MacLeod, turned to be something he could not live without and no matter the difference in centuries and civilization, he could not keep away from Abigail.
It was an interesting journey into an interesting time in history and that made it worth reading.

This was a cute and funny time travel romance. Abigail is a twenty first century woman and gets sent back to 1601 Scotland. She meets Aedan - his sister is the one with magical abilities whose gift sent Abigail there in the first place - and eventually the two of them fall in love. They have to conquer not only their individual differences but also era-specific challenges. This was an entertaining story and a nice light read!

Time travel romance.

This is a good story z there is some humour in the differences between modern times and ancient Scotland, esp regarding the treatment of women.
