I really loved the first book of the series. I really liked Aden in the first book and I was happy to know he was getting book. Miranda is in trouble and goes to Aden for help and he needs help finding a bride. The plot was really good.

Scot Under the Covers was a fun read with feisty characters in Highlander Aden and proper English society woman Miranda. The two are brought together when Miranda seeks out Aden's gambling expertise after her brother's lack of skills put her in an unenviable position. Of course the two bicker before falling for each other, but they're both enjoyable characters on their own that are smart and resourceful. The presence of a realistic villain for the time the story takes place makes a more compelling story, but the naivete and weakness of Miranda's brother doesn't make me overly enthusiastic about reading a future story about him as a romantic lead unless Enoch creates an opportunity for a lot of personal growth.

Big Lies in a Small Town by Diane Chamberlain
NET GALLEy =January 14,2020
North Carolina 1940 - the USA government had established a national mural contest where 48 artists would be awarded a chance at painting a hug e mural to hang in each states post office. With nary a chance Anna Dale from New Jersey was picked as one of the winners and though her submission was of a mural based on New Jersey she was selected to create a mural for Edenton NC. Anna didn’t realize that prejudices ran deep and secrets were those that could end a life.

Present day - North Carolina - After taking the fall for a crime she didn’t commit Morgan Christopher’s life was totally derailed. Her dream of being an artist had been put on hold until a mysterious visitor came to visit her at the correctional woman’s Institute. If she accepts the offer given to her to restore an old post office mural she would be released immediately. Knowing nothing about art restoration but desperate to get out of jail she accepts. What she finds under the layers of grime is a painting of madness, violence and small town secret conspiracy’s.

OMG - What a marvelous read this was!. Not that I didn’t expect it from the pen of Ms Chamberlain however, I am always amazed with the depth and genius of the subject matter she creates her stories from. Both Anna and Morgan were fully fleshed out and had similar dysfunctional type of backgrounds. Anna possibly a little less than Morgan who thought by saving her boyfriend she had finally found someone who cared about her.

Anna’s story was much more of dealing with Southern prejudices towards colored folks that had not been quite so bad in New Jersey. The powers to be in that town had sent Anna helpers but the one who stood out, having raw talent was Jesse. Anna had to champion him and convince him to continue school and to develop his innate talent. Unfortunately the small mindedness of the population interpreted her interest as something else.

When so many years later Morgan arrived to restore the mural she was astounded by the sheer madness the mural conveyed. What had happened to the artist who held ,such amazing talent that had turned a mural into a depiction of insanity and horror? With flashbacks and some super sleuthing Morgan, whose freedom depended on finishing the project would work tirelessly to restore and discover the secret of Anna’s disappearance! Stunning work and a marvelous mystery!

Even if it is not the book about Call, that I am waiting for since the beginning, I liked this about Aden a lot: the plot is not so foreseeable and the story is well paced. Plus now the next should really be about Call and I hope not about his sister, please Mrs. Enoch, make me happy!

Anche se questo non é il libro sul fratello che aspettavo, la storia di Aden mi é piaciuta parecchio lo stesso, soprattutto perché la trama non é poi cosí prevedibile ed é anche avvincente. Inoltre, il prossimo volume dovrebbe necessariamente essere su Call, o almeno (Mrs. Enoch la prego), lo spero proprio!

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

Sexy man in a kilt? What's not to like? I thought the brother was just scum and why Eloise still wanted him is unfathomable to me. Aden was quite the man of action. He and his brothers were mouthwatering. The captain was despicable and the ending was a good one. I was entertained from page one to the very end. So much to like about this story.

This was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the give and take between the hero and heroine. The heroine's brother though? He was a problem and I don't think he was given the comeuppance he deserved.

"Scot Under the Covers” beginning was definitely touch and go and I was damned near tempted to drop this but the Book Gods above decided to answer my prayers by gracing me the perseverance to claim a few more pages then wa-lah! Matthew true intentions and dealings came to light which help lead and created the phenomenal partnership between Aden and Miranda. I immediately fell in love with their banterful relationship filled with stolen kisses, steamy moments, and badassery of our fine ass highlander. This was perfect swoon worthy historical romance I’ve been looking for a while.

Aden's mom had left their father but before she left she made him sign an agreement that her three boys had to marry before their youngest sister and they had to be English. So here they were. The English always brought an absurd amount of luggage, so they brought Rory, a red deer, as part of a huge amount of luggage. Both Aden and Coll had taken off their shoes to settle a bet. So there they were walking around in Mayfair with a bucket in the street, pitching their shoes at the bucket and being barefoot. The two eldest had not found anything they wanted since they had come down five weeks ago. Their dad had decided to perish from the shock of learning his youngest is engaged to be married.. Or he was afraid of his wife. Miranda Harris was the sister to the man Eloise was going to marry. Aden liked her straight-talking and not speaking on boring subjects as most English girls did.
Matthew, Miranda's brother had gambled which he was not supposed to do and got in so deep that he sold his sister to this awful man. Captain Robert Vale Resemble a bird of prey prominent brow, narrow, thin-lipped mouth, and long straight down angled nose.
There are a lot of twists in this story of a broken family and a mother who has been absent for seventeen years. I really loved the tale and the teasing, laughing and loving. His mother wants her sons to forgive her but they are having a hard time with it and having to marry. Not a good thing. The characters are funny, teasing, kind and eventually loving It does get a little sexy. so it should be for older folks but is still a good read. It is entertaining, scary, and three dominating Highlander's thrown into the mix. I highly recommend this novel.
I received this ARC from Net Galley and voluntarily reviewed it.

Miranda dislikes Aden before she has ever set eyes on him and wastes no time letting him when they first meet. Imagine her dismay when she discovers that she needs his help. Imagine his dismay when she is the only woman in England he cannot stop thinking about.

How on earth was this my first book by Suzanne Enoch? All I can do is promise it won't be the last. It is an easy promise to make because I cannot wait to read the other books in this series. I tore through this book, reading even when I could barely keep my eyes open. Miranda and Aden are charming together. I enjoyed the premise and the clever way Aden goes about aiding Miranda when she is basically sold by her brother to cover up his own errors. My utter loathing for her brother and the way he conducts himself made me have a difficult time for the way he never suitably punished, in my opinion.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review..

Book two of the MacTaggert brothers finds the stealthy middle brother Aden at odds end. The three brothers are forced to wed an English bride before their youngest sister or they and all the people under their care will be penniless. Aden fears that he’ll never find an English woman that will love him like his younger brother did, but he soon meets Miranda a proper English lady who has no time for Aden’s charm or gambling ways. Unfortunately Miranda needs Aden’s skills to help her from being forced to marry a vulture. Along the way they both find the good in each other and soon Aden knows he’s found the one. This book has a bit of intrigue, lots of humor and a nice sweet romance. It’s a great historical romance with strong leads and wonderful supporting characters. I can’t wait for Coll’s story. 5 stars. I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher for my honest review.

Holy hot highlander batman!!!! I thought I was in love with Niall....until I read Aden's story. The MacTaggart clan is slowly becoming bbf faves!

As soon as I saw this book was coming out I was intrigued, but I didn't want to start in book two of the series. I had never read a Suzanne Enoch book before so I through caution to the wind, and downloaded book one. That was Wednesday night. Needless to say, I finished book one on Thursday night....holy cow I was so drawn in, I immediately open book two. Stayed up all night and finished it! WORTH IT!!!!

In book one, It's getting Scot in Here, we were introduced to 3 hard headed, loyal, and loving (each in their own way) highlanders. Niall was the star of book one, but his brothers were not to be outshone. Book two, takes us through Aden, the middle brother's journey to meet his mother Francesca's requirement of he and his brothers to all marry English women before their sister gets married.

Aden is the most secretive of all the brothers. Naill is the peace keeper, Coll the hot headed leader, and then there is the middle child Aden. I didn't quite know what to expect from him after his introduction in book one. He could have gone many ways, but I am darn glad that his path was an interesting one. Aden is the gambler, he has a cunning mind and can read people easily. That is until he meets Matthew (his sister Eloise's betrothed) sister Miranda. You know what happens when you put gasoline on a fire....you get an explosion. That was Aden and Miranda. Aden was the gasoline and Miranda the fire....it just took putting them together to get that explosion. However, there is a dastardly man just waiting upend both Matthew and Miranda's world. Oohhh he is an evil one, it's rare that I truly hate a character but I truly hated Robert Vale. He was despicable, had no redeeming qualities and was just all around evil incarnate. I truly wished all kinds of bad stuff on him throughout the book.

The characters as you can see, drew me in, but it was the story that kept me up all night. I just couldn't go to bed without knowing if everything would get resolved, and what the outcome would be. I am not going to spoil that for anyone, just know this. I loved the plot as much as loved the characters!

I am super stingy when it comes to five stars. I need to have two strong main characters, a good plot, a story that I can reasonably believe to be real, and some steam. This book had it all. All the characters are strong, the plot kept up all night, and the steam was there. Aden is one hot highlander. So, do I recommend...DUH, YES!!! Will I keep reading? Oh, I can't wait to watch Coll fall when he meets his match (I kinda hope it's Jane). What are you waiting for romance lovers? Pick up this series today and fall in love with a highlander!

This was the second book in the series, Wild Wicked Highlanders. It can absolutely be read as a stand alone book. The sons of Angus MacTaggert, Earl of Aldriss, must travel to London where their mother lives and marry English women before their younger sister marries, in order for the Aldriss estate to continue getting the money it needs to survive.
This was Aden MacTaggert's story. The characters, Aden and Miranda are well developed, have great chemistry, and very witty banter. Book is full of romance, banter, fun, and even a villain! It was an enjoyable, quick read that I truly recommend.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is book 2 in the Wild Wicked Highlanders series. The series is about the McTaggert brothers, Coll, Aden and Niall, having to come from Scotland to England to find a bride.
This is the story of Aden. Aden and Miranda. These two at first really don't like each other. They fight, bicker, argue, draw sparks off one another. Miranda has prejudged Aden to be a ner-do-well because he gambles. Aden assumes Miranda is just like all the other Sassenach, a flighty, fearherbrained, girl.
But before long, he sees shes smart and intelligent.
She starts to intrigue him
Miranda sees that despite being a gambler, Aden loves and cares for his sister. He dances with the Wallflowers. That starts to endear him to her.
When Miranda gets put into a very dangerous situation by her brother's stupidity, she turns to Aden for help.
Let the adventure begin and the romance develop
The Villian in this story is not evil in a cruel, gory or vulgar way. He is intelligent, deceitful, conniving, cunning, manipulative. He exploits people's weaknesses and then blackmails them to do his bidding.
A character like this is different and I enjoyed finding out to what lengths he would go to.
Aden had to outsmart him, outthink him in order to save Miranda. Of course it hero saves the day.
I love Suzanne Enoch's books because she usually makes me laugh and makes me cry. Now I didnt cry in this book because it was more intellectual than emotional but oh my, did I laugh those last few pages of the book.
One side note..... I hope Eloise dumps Matthew's ass and gets someone who deserves her.

A man in a kilt. A fiery, independent Englishwoman. Adventure. Romance. Intrigue. Put those things together and you get a book that I read in one day! I was captivated by Aden and Miranda! I enjoyed the humor in the book, the passion, and the action!

An entertaining read. I felt that the whole "I don't trust you" got kind of repetitive on Miranda's part, given how Aden continually had her back, but the characters' chemistry was fun.

This is my first Suzanne Enoch and I am in love!! The McTaggert brothers have stolen my heart and I can't wait to read every book in this series. I did not read book one, It's Getting Scot in Here, but it's getting pushed to the top of my TBR. Scot Under the Covers stands alone well but if you can read book one first, do it. You don't want to miss any of these brothers.

Aden is our hero and he is delicious and pretty much perfect. Sexy, a bit broody and mysterious, sarcastic. From the moment he saved a stray dog, I was done. Five star read. Ha! But it got even better as I read. Miranda is headstrong and stubborn and it was nice to see Aden break down her walls. I won't go into story details but there wasn't anything I disliked about this book. The writing flowed well, side characters added fantastic color to the story, the sexiness was well balanced by a good plot. It's a bit of a hate to love story and a little suspense thrown in. There's also a great villain which was a nice element.

If you're a historical fan, give this a whirl!

After reading and enjoying the first book in this series, there was no way I was missing this one.

I loved Miranda and Aden. She’s sharp-tongued and loyal. He’s elusive and charming when he needs to be. Together they’re unlikely partners and it’s so much fun reading them slowly move from acquaintances to something like friends to love. Of course it’s delightful to see Aden’s brothers and Francesca.

Plot wise, it was good. There aren’t as many moving pieces as I expected, but it’s quite layered. I do wish there would have been more dialogue instead of so much inner monologue, but that’s just me being greedy. These two had loads of chemistry and I wanted more...especially in an epilogue that was sorely missing.

Overall, it was easy to root for Miranda and Aden from the very start. I cannot wait to see what Coll’s book is going to look like.

**Huge thanks to St. Martin’s Paperbacks for providing the arc free of charge**

Be warned- The dialogue is hard to follow. It was written with a Scottish tone and it took me three chapters to get used to.

Once used to this, it's a great book! It kept me going and following all the way to the end and definitely was disappointing! Miranda and Aden kept me enthralled and their ending in this book couldn't have been done better.

I usually love books by this author, but had to give before halfway. I found the written scottish accent too hard to follow.. Almost all the dialogue was written this way. It distracted from story and I am sorry to say that I could not finish the book.

This was a fun, quick read. I really enjoyed the continuation of the series and the watching the story of Aden and Miranda unfold. Suzanne does a great job of making characters who you root for and of delivering an entertaining story..
