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. . .

One of my favorites. Loved Aden. Loved the couple as a couple. They were perfect. Cannot wait for Coll story. Must read. Great series but each book is stand alone.

This novel was a delightful read! A Highlander is highlander even when they are not in Scotland and an English lady is still one. However, when their paths collide, each can learn a bit from the other and appearances are not always what they seem. Aden MacTaggert enjoys wagering and women, but needs to find an English bride to satisfy the conditions his mother had his father sign in order to keep the Scotland estate funded. Miranda Harris is society's darling, knows everyone and is charming. When her brother gives her hand in marriage as a way to pay his gambling debts, she is outraged. She seeks Aden, the one whom she dismissed and now needs his help. Aden is willing to help her out as a partnership for her assistance, but he soon begins to realize Miranda is the woman he is in love with, but does she feel the same? After all, she is forced to marry a man she despises and Aden wants her to have her freedom back so she can choose him. Miranda falls in love with Aden, but is he choosing her to fulfill his obligation to his mother? An enjoyable read and looking forward to the next MacTaggert brother's story!

Four Scottish brothers have to live with their English mother in London and get married before their youngest sister to keep the funds going for their impoverished lands in Scotland. This is the 2nd brothers' romance. I read the first one, but it has been awhile, but wasn't lost here anyway. Miranda is a friend of the brothers' sister, and has bad feelings towards those she considers gamblers. When she meets Aden, and remembers the stories she heard about him and his rakish ways, she is not impressed. Of course sparks fly and you know the drill of the romance in this genre. Her brother, who is engaged to Aden's sister, has run up an exceptional debt to a man who wants her as a means to entering the society. Creepy and evil, and naturally she is not happy when her brother tries to throw her at him. She is at her wits end, and decides that Aden is her only chance to escape her path, and of course he is that. I did enjoy this one, although I must admit I generally prefer modern stories. The plot is good, the characters were entertaining and defined, and overall the story is well done. Really didn't like her brother though, and felt he was weak. Minor though, and would give this a 4.5 and highly recommend this book.

Aden really is taken with his woman, "his mouth quirked, as if her insults had once again amused him. “And I didnae suggest ye ruin yerself. I suggested that I ruin ye. It’s more fun that way.” Miranda is quite the saucy wench, “If you’re the one standing there glaring at me while you attack innocent bits of food, then yes, I called you an ***.” I liked this book, I loved Aden.

Scot Under the Covers, is as humorous as the first book in the series. Miranda is a great match for Aden. I don't believe he'd find better in Scotland.

I loved the strong hero Aden, a rough and tumble Scotsman who protects and saves the heroine Miranda. I loved the strong heroine Miranda who takes charge to save herself and family. I can’t wait to read Coll’s story next! I received an ARC from NetGalley for my honest review.

What a delightful book. I will not re-write the book but I will tell you the motion she brings forth. In this book is filled with emotions talk about a villain we have a villain to hate. Aiden and Miranda are our heroes. Fail is our villain with a calculating evil man. Sensual? This book is filled with romance and sensual passages. Sexual oh my gosh yes. This book is not to be missed

Scot Under the Covers is the second book in the Wild Wicked Highlanders. It can be read as a stand-alone, but the series is so good that I decided to reread the first book before starting this one. The series is based on the Earl of Aldriss, Angus MacTaggert, sons. Due to their parent’s agreement the sons had to travel to London where their mother lived and marry an English woman for the Aldriss estate to continue to receive funds.
Miranda Harris is smart, direct, has a perfect reputation, and is well known and liked by all of society. She disapproves of gamblers and is furious when she learns her brother has promised her hand to Captain Robert Vale. She asks Aden for advice and then help to save her family and herself.
Aden MacTaggert liked to keep his own counsel and his reputation as a gambler was well known. He was intrigued by Miranda and agreed to help her and in return she will help him navigate the ton.
The book was fast paced and fun to read. The characters were great and their banter was witty and held the readers interest. I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for Coll, the oldest brother.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
