I just recently started reading historical romance books. They just never seemed to catch my eye before now. I've been binging on them ever since last fall. I don't know what it is lately but they are some of the best books I've read lately. 

Aden and Miranda have that push and pull relationship that just grabs my attention. They bad boy Scot who gets all the ladies, and the one lady who doesn't want him. It's the stuff book crack is made of for me. 

It's a very entertaining book. The beginning took me a minute to get into but after that it was smooth sailing. I am planning on going back and reading the first book in this series, I hope there is more to come after this one as well.

First, I have to say I love the covers of Enoch's books. Now about the story... I am enjoying this series and love the MacTaggert men. When they fall, they fall hard. I liked that Aden stood up for himself in the beginning when Miranda cast him in a disparaging light and he quickly put an end to her petty barbs. After seeking Aden's help, I really liked Miranda Harris and felt for dilemma her brother placed her in. With that being said, I think Matthew was just as much of a villain and in no way was he redeemed in my eyes. I hope we will see Eloise drop him like a brick in her eventual story. I am also still not a fan of the MacTaggert's mother but I am holding out hope that will change soon.
Overall, another win in the series.

While this is the second in a series about a trio of Scottish Highlander brothers taking Regency London by storm when they have to find English brides to save their ancestral home, you don’t need to have read the first to thoroughly enjoy Aden’s story. The middle brother of the three, Aden likes a gamble and a challenge, and Miranda Harris certainly provides a challenge when she tells him bluntly on their first meeting she doesn’t much like him. So when she turns up soon in clear distress asking questions about the mindset of gamblers, he can’t help but be intrigued.

Miranda’s in a hell not of her own making; a villain has targeted her brother, driving him deep into debt and then blackmailing him. The only way out appears to be for Miranda to marry the scoundrel. But she’s not about to lie down and accept her fate without a fight, and one thing she’s pretty sure about Aden MacTaggart is that he would be a good man to have on your side in a fight. Falling for a stubborn, opinionated, slightly wild Scot isn’t really in the plan… but it’s kind of inevitable.

There’s some painful and possibly triggering content in here in light of the way that Miranda is the one who has to pay the price for her brother’s sins, and it definitely bothered me that Matthew never actually had to face any real consequences for his appalling decisions. Miranda calls him on it when she notes that he expects her to trade her future for his mistakes, but he barely expresses any guilt and I really didn’t want him still engaged to Aden’s sister by the end of the book. I couldn’t even understand what Eloise saw in Matthew; he was weak-willed and easily led.

I liked Miranda and Aden and a villain working his way up the social scale in the way Vale did was both plausible and slightly terrifying, but my disgust with Matthew not having to face significant consequences for his actions have me marking this down to four stars.

As always with any Suzanne Enoch historical book, the fast pace and wonderful writing will get you every time.

Lovely romance with great main characters. It was very well-written, a lot of detail put into the plot and secondary characters too, though the pacing was sometimes a little too slow and meandering for my taste.
Miranda was somewhat hasty in her judgment of Aden, but otherwise a likable and strong heroine, who reacts to a horrible predicament with grace and strength and not too proud to ask for help when she needs it. I really liked Aden, who is very much a caretaker, and very cunning and insightful, though he hides it well behind his charming Scottish burr and casual disregard for staid English propriety.
I heartily disliked Miranda’s brother, Matthew, and felt that he got off too easily. I feel that Eloise’s rather easy acceptance of his “error” makes her a less interesting character, not on equal footing with her brother’s, which is a pity.

I am absolutely in love with the Suzanne/ plots.
She manages to mix mystery, comedy and high doses of romance in handsome, strong, alpha males completely in love (even when they are stubborn).
Aden MacTaggert is great at gambling but without any social skills to be at Ton (to find a Sassenach wife); Miranda needs help to get rid of a mess created by her brother.
Together, they form a brilliant and surprising pair.
4 stars

This is the second book in the Wild Wicked Highlanders series about the MacTaggert brothers as they have been forced by their mother to leave the Highlands and find English Brides in London. Scot Under the Covers follows the romance between charming kilt-wearing middle brother Aden and independent Englishwoman Miranda as they team up to outwit a villainous gambler and his underhanded machinations. This was a delight to read! The story had a good plot, light intrigue, and great banter-y dialogue. Highly recommend for fans of Historical Romance and Enoch's previous work. I look forward to reading more about the MacTaggert clan in upcoming books!

I love Regency Romances and have been reading them for years. While there are seemingly innumerable different subcategories of Regencies they fall into two major classifications for me: the first is when the couple gets to the culmination of the story, becomes engaged, and sneaks one (perhaps two!) kisses. The second has more bedroom action. It is easy to tell the difference because the cover for the more open door romance scenes usually features a scantily clad individual. As you can see, Scot falls into the second category. In this book, even the open door scenes weren’t so outlandish as to make me uncomfortable but I know some of my readers prefer a heads up about these things. Don’t let it deter you, the romance and the villain are the bulk of the story!

This book is part of the The Wild Wicked Highlanders series which follows the three MacTaggert brothers in their journey to England to reluctantly search for a bride. Scot Under the Covers focuses on the middle child, Aden, while the first in the series, It’s Getting Scot in Here, focuses on the youngest son. While I missed the first book, Scot Under the Covers did an admirable job catching me up on the backstory. I truly never felt like I was missing anything. Still, I plan on getting my hands on the first book as quickly as possible because I would really like to know everything about Niall and Amy’s love story.

Scot Under the Covers sets up a great tale of romance with a reluctant Aden and an indifferent Miranda being brought together to thwart the villainous Captain Vale. Captain Vale has wagered with Miranda’s brother, Matthew, and won a fortune but is willing to accept Miranda in lieu of the payment. Matthew is engaged to Aden’s sister which is how Miranda and Aden are initially brought together. Disgusted with her brother’s culpability in this situation, Miranda turns to Aden to learn about gambling in an attempt to get herself out of this situation. Sparks fly and the fire of love is lit! I love when two people are brought together with a common goal and fall in love. It makes the partnership more balanced and I certainly felt that Miranda was an equal participant in rescuing her own future.

I have only two small things that I didn’t fully enjoy about this book. First, Aden’s speech patterns (as well as his brothers’) were very repetitious. I got a little annoyed with the number of “nae”s and “Sassenach”s thrown about. I am sure the author did this to fully flesh out the character but it grated just a little bit.

Second, I really enjoyed how Aden dealt with Matthew but I wanted Matthew to have a little more punishment than he seemed to receive in the story. He wagered more money than he could ever hope to repay and then seemingly guilt-free handed over his sister in place of his debt and returned back to the loving embrace of his fiancee and his own life. The author gave us great insight into the workings of Aden’s mother and her thoughts about what was happening but I would have loved to see Matthew’s turmoil over what he did to Miranda.

These two tiny things aside, I could not put this book down. It is unusual to find romances that are written so that you really understand both the male and female components and this book does that so well. In addition, I thoroughly enjoyed hating Captain Vale. Watching Aden and Miranda work against his dastardly deeds was nearly as good as watching them fall in love!

I want to thank St. Martin Press and Netgalley for sending me a complementary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Love this family of MacTaggerts, the brothers, their mom and all the mischief that comes with them. Love how they take care of each other, know each other well and keep each other in line. Just the premise of their mother insisting they marry English lasses is a unique one. The antics with Rory only add to their mischievousness!

This is Aden’s turn to find his English lass, Miranda. Who just happens to be the Matthew’s sister. Matthew is Eliose’s betrothed and Aden’s little sister. Matthew has gotten himself into trouble with Captain Vale. Captain Vale wants Miranda in exchange for Matthew’s gambling debts.

Miranda dislikes gambleers, with good reason, and holds it against Aden, but then goes to Aden for help. She cannot tell her parents and does not want to tell Aden, but they form a partnership. Once that happens, Aden takes on Captain Vale and is good at getting under Captain Vale’s skin. Each of the brothers is given an assignment that will help Aden. It’s a great adventure!

Although second in the Wild, Wicked Highlanders series, this could be a stand-alone. Maybe best read in sequence. Cannot wait for the next book.

All right, so, I was looking forward to this one, I really enjoyed the first one in the series and I was hoping to enjoy this as much. I fear that wasn't the case. I can't say I didn't like, becuase overall it was a pleasant reading. But I frankly couldn't perceive Miranda and Aden's chemistry; I found Aden too quick at developing feelings for Miranda, where Miranda is not exactly the most plesant for quite a bit of the plot. It looks like there is something missing but at the same time there a parts where everything feels too slow paced.

There wasn't as much of the three brother as in the first one, which is fully understandable, but still a bit missed. Nevertheless, as previously said, this is a nice novel, but I have to be honest I was expecting a bit more and therefore I am looking forward to the third brother's story, which has the potential to be grand!

"Scot Under the Covers" was a highly enjoyable read. The main characters, Aden and Miranda, were both strong, witty characters which made for very interesting dialogue exchanges between the two. The storyline caught my attention and it was one that you are eager to see how the "situation" will be resolved. If you enjoy a historical romance with witty banter and good storyline, then I highly recommend this book. I look forward to reading more books by this author and especially stories about the MacTaggert family. (I was given a copy of this book for my honest review.)

Scot Under the Covers was a fun, quick read that left me dreaming of a Highlander to come and sweep me off my feet!
I was utterly charmed by Aden MacTaggert. He was the perfect combination of bad boy and knight in shining armor. I loved watching him get knocked for a loop by the headstrong Miranda Harris. Aden is used to women falling at his feet but Miranda instantly shoots this sexy Highlander down. She uses her wit and charm to continuously put him in his place. That is until she realizes she needs his particular skills, gambling, to win back control of her life. What ensues is a fun romp through the ton as they entangle the mess that Miranda's life has become.
I truly enjoyed the storyline and the characters and let's not forget that super sexy Scottish accent.
I started the series with this book and could easily follow everything that happened. However, I so love this family that I want to go back and read Niall's story!

I always love a good highlander romance story and this one didn't disappoint. This is the second book in a series and can be read as a standalone like I did but I might want to go back to the first book to get Niall and Amy's story.

Aden and his brothers have been ordered to London to find brides before their younger sister is married or their estranged mother will end her financial support to their home in Scotland. This is a really fun story with Aden, a sexy highlander, willing to go to any lengths for Miranda, the woman he decides will be the one he marries no matter the cost. Before meeting Miranda, he thought he would just have to pick someone to marry and forget about love.

I look forward to Coll's story and getting more about Aden and Miranda.

Great Story! Plot and character development was great that kept me engaged to the very end. I can't wait for the next book in the series. This is a must read!

Buy BUY BUY BUY BUY:... even if no one here agrees... This was a great read for me. The author as usual had me totally engrossed in the story in very short order. I loved the sassy sharp tongue heroine and I adore the highlander hero. Each page just kept me turning for more. The author is one of those rare breeds that paints her story in your brain so you are immersed totally. SO buy and enjoy it was great! I was given this book via NetGalley ... all opinions expressed here are my own.

Aden MacTaggert and his brother have come to England to find proper society brides. Their estranged mother has ordered it. Aden is not pleased with this situation. He isn't fond of the English. That is until he meets Miranda Harris. She's a very proper lady who follows all the rules. He's a stubborn rule breaker. She's a woman who speaks her mind and won't back down. These two are opposites but when she's blackmailed by a social climber to become his bride. These two become partners. I was caught up in this story. Aden is a rogue and gambler who cares for this beautiful caring woman. I could see that they completed each other. They made me laugh at their banter and sigh at their romance. Scot Under The Covers is a wonderful story. The characters are larger than life. They came alive in this book written by Suzanne Enoch. I can't wait to see what she has in store for Coll. I can see that he's as stubborn as his brother.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed my comments are my honest opinion.

I loved the first book in this series and I loved this one.
The humour, the likable and well thought cast of characters, the well plot story that is both gripping and fun to read, they are all elements that make me love this story and read as fast as I can.
I can't wait to read the next instalment.
An entertaining and fun read, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

I really enjoyed the first book in the Wild, Wicked Highlanders series and was more than ready to meet the woman who captured the roguish middle brother Aden’s heart.

This book started out slow for me, I struggled with the first several chapters. Aden was his usual charming, wicked self, and Miranda Harris, his future sister-in-law through marriage and the woman who he eventually partners with to stop an unscrupulous con man, was interesting enough, I just couldn’t engage. It wasn’t until about the mid-way point when their plan truly comes into action that I became thoroughly hooked.

I think one aspect I disliked was that Miranda’s brother Matthew is the one who creates the huge problem that she and Aden have to solve and it made me hate him. Yes, the bad guy at the center of the plot is terrible and vile and deserves the worst punishment imaginable, but Matthew is freaking awful too and he practically got off scot free. (heh) Now I’m going to be suspicious of him and hopeful that Eloise ends up with someone else.

I did end up enjoying this couple’s love story and HEA. I’m really interested in reading Coll’s story. I’m not sure he will ever find an English bride that would put up with his uncouth ways. LOL.

This is only the second Suzanne Enoch book I’ve ever read, but after this one, it won’t be the last! I enjoyed the conflict in the book, and unlike many other books I’ve read set in the same era, the conflict didn’t feel overblown or preposterously contrived. If anything, the main characters react a little TOO well to the actions of less well-intentioned others.

My only criticism of the books is that the Scots dialect gets a little heavy at times, with “ye ken” in at least half the sentences on a given page. I had to go back several times and re-read some of the dialogue because of this.

ARC provided by NetGalley and St Martins Press in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review.

Forced to London to marry Aden is not pleased and is not trying very hard to fulfill his mother's wishes. Miranda detests gamblers and men who wager and thus automatically dislikes Aden and let's him know this. Aden finally find a refreshing lady in the mix of meek lasses, too bad it is someone who already had preconceived notions. But soon Miranda must seek out Aden's help and as she learns more about him she questions her life and what she has known while Aden questions if he might have found the one lass to keep his attention. Their journey is full of bumps and kisses but also a terrible villain pulling the strings. Really enjoyed this read. I mean big, hot highlander(S), good story, with a tough road to HEA- go pick it up!
