Mix all those ingredients, take some great authors and you get a wonderfully romantic bundle of swoon-worthy love stories to enjoy and to savor.
Four well-written stories about lovers who have to fight for their love and who have to realize that love is the most important ingredient when it comes to a marriage. Whether it is a story about second chances or about taking a chance on someone seemingly unsuitable or about the most infuriating person becoming the most important one in someone's life - all those stories are amazing. Despite the (relative) shortness of each of the stories, the characters are well developed and the stories well done, captivating and romantic.
That's exactly what you get when you take some of my favorite authors of Scottish romance and ask them to write a story about romance, weddings, and Highlanders.
Sounds good?
That's because it is good and I really enjoyed reading these stories.

This was a highly entertaining read by lots of my favorite authors: Lecia Cornwall, Anna Harrington, May McGoldrick and Sabrina York. This box set is really a good value for those who love thos wicked Highlanders.
I think that I liked May McGodrick's "A Midsummer Wedding" the best. The characters were well developed with an intriguing story line. Alex and Elizabeth have been bethrothed since they were children. She thinks Alex is a highland barbarian and not suited to her tastes in men. He thinks she is a spoiled princess with no concept on how to live realistically. They both do not want to be married to each other. She pretends to love someone else and of course it's a trick.
Somehow they get into trouble with a thunderstorm which causes they to rely on each other. They become closer to friendship and trust: which turns to LOVE!
This is a wonderful romance that will have you rooting for them to have a happy ever after.
I appreciate Net Galley for this ARC title in which I gave an honest review.

One of the good things that come from reading a boxed set is finding new authors. This set included 2 authors who are new to me along with 2 authors who are well known to me.
Lecia Cornwall is new to me but her story How A Lass Wed a Highlander was a delightful take on the Princess and the Pea with a bit of The Bachelor thrown in. The heroine is supposed to be a prisoner but she is so friendly and helpful that no one can resist her - including the Laird who must marry on Midsummer's Eve. How can you resist a story that includes all this and a fairy blessing.
Anna Harrington is an author that I have read before. Her story - A match Made in Heather is a tale of lost lovers brought back together is a beautiful tale. A Lady falls in love with a groom and they are separated on the eve of their elopement. Now 10 years later they are brought together but now he is a wealthy Earl and she is still unmarried and trying to help her family. The heat is still there but can he get over his need for revenge and will she finally put her feelings before the needs of her family?
The 3rd author - May McGoldrick was also new to me. In A Midsummer Wedding a Highlander has been contracted to wed a Lowland woman for decades. Now that they are of age, neither really wants to wed the other but they have never met to talk about it. The Queen of Scotland is a matchmaker at heart and puts a plan in place to bring them together and get them to fall in love before the wedding. This is not only a great story, it is a prequel to a series that I will be looking into int he future.
The final author is Sabrina York and I have read and loved many of her stories. This one is no exception. The Scot Says I Do is a delightful work of childhood attraction becoming adult love many years later. After not seeing each other since childhood the two find that they ar still as much in love as they were when they were young.
This boxed set is a wonderful collection of love and marriage and provides 4 enjoyable reads. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A wonderful book with four novellas by four awesome and very talented authors.

How a Lass Wed a Highlander - Lecia Cornwall

Alexander Munro needs to find a bride before Midsummer's Eve, failure is not an option his clans safety depends on it.

One never can be disappointed in a Lecia Cornwall story she knows how to capture your heart her stories are always magical!

A Match Made in Heather - Anna Harrington

This story was full of emotional turmoil, betrayal and as always misunderstandings but never fear with all of Anna Harrington's stories there is redemption and love that gets reconciled and that makes for the best kind of love!
Garrick McGuiness was torn from his love - Arabel Rowland because of his status the son of a blacksmith. Although her heart bled Garrick was lost to Arabel ten years ago.

A Midsummer Wedding - May McGoldirk

This is the first of May McGoldrick's stories that I had the pleasure of reading and let me say that it was awesome will definitely be looking all her books up.
Elizabeth May and Alexander Macpherson have betrothed from the time they were infants as was the custom at the time. Never having met they both were against the marriage until the day the laid eyes on each other their attraction was instant but before they get a chance to say their vows all hell breaks loose and before you know feelings are exposed and emotions laid out. Every page of this wonderfully written story is full of action witty dialogue and a perfect romance! I loved this story I definitely recommend!

A story with just a bit of Highland Magic, this is a quick read which I gave 4 of 5 stars for storyline and characterization and a mild sensual rating of 2.5 of 5 flames.

A MATCH MADE IN HEATHER by Anna Harrington
A story of second chances that kept me enthralled, this story gets 4.75 of 5 stars for storyline and character development and is the best of the collection in this reader's opinion. I gave it a slightly higher sensual rating of 4 of 5 flames.
The chemistry between the hero and heroine is palpable.

I gave this story 4.5 of 5 stars for storyline and characterization and a sensual rating of 3 of 5 flames. The obvious attraction is heated at times.
I received a complimentary digital ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley to read. This in no way affected my opinion of this title which I read and reviewed voluntarily.

'Say Yes to the Scot' is a box set with 4 different stories with a total of 410 pages long. I not sure how you could go wrong with this box set! It's the collection of some of the best authors for Historical Romance. Also it is a great way to meet new authors....this gives you a taste of their writing style. I always love box set too for when I need a quick romance fix while waiting for an appointment or for a quick book for bed.

Of the four authors contributing to this anthology I have only read previous works by two, until now. After completely enjoying this delightfully written group of stories, ALL of them have been added to my "Must Read" list.

A delightful collection of stories, all full of romance, all incredibly entertaining.

I was first attracted to this anthology because I was interested in reading Lecia Cornell's story since it features another of the MacLeod sisters, which appear on her books but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the stories by the other 3 authors; each one has great characters and an interesting plot that had me hooked.
And of course who can resist a Highlander? This was another one of the reasons that made me want to read this and like I said it doesn't disappoint.

This is not only a perfect summer reading, I think it can be enjoyed during any season. A must read for fans of romance.

This is a rare book in that it has four novellas inside and I actually enjoyed all of them! In general, novellas are not my thing. They try to shove too much into too little of a space, and things just get too rushed. Happily, each of these short stories are enjoyable and are just the right length to leave me satisfied. Below I have written some small reviews of each:

How A Lass Wed A Highlander – Lecia Cornwall
Having read several Lecia Cornwall books already, I expected an immensely satisfying story – and that’s exactly what I got! In this novella, Alexander Munro must find a bride by Midsummer’s Eve to save his clan from a slew of bad luck and his own untimely death. Enter Cait MacLeod, one of twelve daughters of the Fearsome MacLeod, who is betrothed to Alex’s enemy but vows never to marry him after discovering he only wants her for her father’s wealth. When she tries to stop him from attacking Alex’s clanspeople, she is taken prisoner by Alex and held in a room with only a few bits of furniture and a pile of mattresses and blankets for a bed. She doesn’t let this stop her from gaining the affection of his people, however, and soon Alex finds himself drawn to the kind and generous woman. The romance was fantastic, and I loved how they were drawn to each other in spite of themselves. It was magical!

A Match Made In Heather – Anna Harrington
Oh, the angst! This was a story filled with betrayal, misunderstandings, and lost love found again. It tugs at your heartstrings and makes you believe in love again. Garrick McGuiness, born the lowly son of a blacksmith, is now Lord Townsend, and his past has finally collided with the present, allowing for sweet revenge. Ten years ago, he meant to elope with Arabel Rowland, his employer’s daughter, but fate intervened, and Arabel was forced to let Garrick go. Thinking she was throwing their love away, Garrick storms off, and they don’t see each other for many years. Now they have both acquired one-half of an estate, the ancestral home of Arabel’s family. They must live together inside the home for thirty days before even thinking of selling, and Garrick knows this is his chance to get back at the family who ruined his life so many years ago. But the truth isn’t always clear, and Garrick must soon decide if his revenge is as important as his love for Arabel. Read it – I know you will love it!

A Midsummer Wedding – May McGoldrick
This was a quick, fun novella that I blew through in a little over an hour! I enjoy stories where the hero and heroine fall in love when they least expect it, and I especially enjoy when it happens as they’re trapped alone together. Elizabeth Hay has been engaged to Alexander Macpherson since she was three years old. However, he has left her alone for twenty years, and she has gotten quite comfortable traveling with her father, a well-known architect. When a missive is sent to her asking to meet with him, she realizes she must do something drastic to make him break their betrothal. But a fake affair and an attempted kidnapping soon finds them in a predicament, which leads to them taking refuge in an abandoned cottage. Getting to know each other in a confined space appears to be the perfect recipe for love, as they get to know each other and find they might be a better match than initially believed.

The Scot Says I Do – Sabrina York
Possibly the cutest novella of the four included in this anthology, I was laughing for most of the story. The heroine was spunky and the hero was a smitten, befuddled mess. It was absolutely adorable! Catherine Ross has loved Duncan Mackay since she was twelve, when he saved her from drowning. But she was too young for him, so he valiantly held her off for years, hiding his own affection for her. When her brother recklessly gambles away everything they own, Duncan sees it as an opportunity to save Catherine and finally prove his love. All Catherine sees, however, is him taking advantage of her brother’s stupidity, and now Duncan has a fight on his hands to prove that for him, it has always been about Catherine. Duncan and Catherine have a tempestuous beginning, but in the end, they find love with each other, in the sweetest of ways.

Description from Amazon/ Review From Deet:
HOW A LASS WED A HIGHLANDER by Lecia Cornwall
In this retelling of The Princess and The Pea, Laird Alex Munro of Culmore has just five weeks to find a bride and marry her...or else the clan will be cursed with ill luck. Cait MacLeod finds herself caught in a clan feud, and when she tries to stop a deadly raid, she ends up as Alex Munro’s prisoner. With timing running out, is this couple meant to be?
***
This is a fairytale complete with the expectation of fairy help or interference. It is a true Highland story with clan hostilities, good Lairds and bad and bonnie lasses who are looking for romance. Side characters seem so much wiser than the protagonists. Deets rating: 4.5

A MATCH MADE IN HEATHER by Anna Harrington
She was the laird's daughter. He was nothing more than a penniless, nameless Scot with nothing to offer but his heart. Fate tore them apart, but now he's back in her life with status, money and a title. Can they let go of past hurts and find love?
***
Whatever Anna Harrington writes turns out to be page turning and beautifully written and this story is no exception. There are revenge, longing, lust and dark secrets. Deet’s rating: 5

A MIDSUMMER WEDDING by May McGoldrick
Their marriage was two decades in the making. The young, educated woman and her highland, pirate husband, betrothed when they were still children. But on the day of their wedding, Elizabeth Hay and Alexander Macpherson are in for a surprise.
***
Another luscious addition to this anthology. Be prepared to put on a sweater because the chill of these characters in the rain for two days will give you trembles. Deets rating: 4.5

THE SCOT SAYS I DO by Sabrina York
Catherine Ross's world is turned upside down when her brother gambles away every penny they own. But to make matters worse? He’s lost everything to none other than Duncan Mackay, the rugged Scot who Catherine loved for years--but he never noticed her, and now she positively loathes him. But her brother’s in danger of going to Newgate, and the despicable Duncan has a plan– she can claim back the money and save her brother. If she marries him…
***
This one is so yummy!
York knows her Highlanders and she can make us fall in love with the tough, brawny, yet tenderhearted Duncan just as Catherine did all those years ago. Deet‘s rating: 5

This Anthology is really a cut above the usual in that every novella was a winner. I’m used to finding stories in anthologies that are good and not so good and in this one they are all better than good. They are excellent. There is beautiful romance, suspense and sexy times. This is one for the keeper shelf.

It’s been a while since I indulged in box sets or anthologies: it is simply a sheer volume/time required equation that with all I read and review, doesn’t always work out. But, I love highlanders, have read titles from 2 of these 4 authors, and the premise with guaranteed HEA’s after plenty of different issues sang out to me. Each story is unique in its premise: from debts to curses: each couple is put through a bit of a wringer before sense and love take over.

With two vying for a favored spot – the titles from Sabrina York and May McGoldrick impressed with the characterizations. While York’s Catherine was a bit of a difficult miss to like – and prone to tantrums: but she does see some sense, eventually, and the kindness and all-around awesomeness of Duncan, along with the childhood crush the two shared did work it’s magic. Now, McGoldrick’s pair had plenty of intrigue, chemistry to boot, and Elizabeth who spends more time thinking about her future in the abstract rather than one with her betrothed, now worthy of her education, her beauty and her passion. Plenty of schemes to separate them with a knock heads against a wall recognition of their compatibility bring this story around nicely.

The other two: Cornwall’s tale loosely based on the Princess and the Pea story brings the threat of a curse lest a wedding occur in weeks…unlike the original, however, the heroine Cait isn’t some testy or pampered princess: daring, determined and bold, but with a horrible sense of direction and less ability to deceive, this story brings her to a new recognition of love, and fills the need for a wife, love and understanding that Alex needed – even if he’s not sure of it all. Lastly is Harington’s tale of lovers separated by circumstance and brought back together as part of a plan for revenge. There were a few too many conflicts and plots in this story: Arabel is conniving, spoilt and controlling where Garrick, now with an Earldom awarded after his war service and money in his pocket just seemed a bit too willing (even after plotting – halfheartedly – his revenge) to give in to Arabel’s whims. While they seemed to be content in their relationship – I just couldn’t buy in.

Overall – not a bad collection, and perfect for those who like one or two of the authors and are intrigued about another. That’s the fun part about these collections – usually set with a common theme, you can dive in and discover new authors and find new stories to entertain.

I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

Review first appeared at <a href=” http://wp.me/p3OmRo-99w/”> <a> I am, Indeed </a>

I've always said that I REALLY don't like historical books. They're just not my cup of tea. Unless they are written by Sabrina York. Sooooo, I decided to read & review this book simply because of her. I am so happy I did. This anthology was written by Lecia Cornwall, Anna Harrington, May McGoldrick & Sabrina York. Everyone of these novellas was fascinating, delightful, funny and, impossible to put down! What a thoroughly lovely way to wile away a day!

So unusual that all 4 novellas in this book are 5 stars. I loved them all! I will not write too much as I do not like to spoil the stories.

Lecia Cornwall's "How a Lass Weds a Highlander" continues her standalone fairy tale novellas with a Princess and the Pea story. I have enjoyed all of them. According to legend, Alex Munro has 5 weeks to Midsummer's Eve to find, fall in love with and marry a bride with the fairy ring to restore the clan's luck, which has not been good lately. Cait MacLeod is sorry she thought her Sutherland cousin might be a good match for her and leaves his keep to go home. She gets lost in the woods, but found by the Munro who thinks she is an enemy Sutherland. So does Alex marry in time?

Anna Harrington's "A Match Made in Heaven" may cause tears but is wonderful. Arabel loves Garrick, who works for her family. They plan to elope but she cancels due to family problems. He's furious she chose her family over him. Ten years later they find they have each inherited half of her Great Uncle's estate. They must share the estate for 6 months before either can sell their share. So do they settle their past?

May McGoldrick's "A Midsummer Wedding" has lowlander Elizabeth Hay facing a marriage arranged when she was a child to highlander Alexander Macpherson. She has waited long enough for him and wants to make him back out so she can do as she wants. She pretends to be someone else to meet him but a storm forces them together.

Sabrina York's "The Scot Says I Do" finds Catherine 's brother Peter trying to marry her off. But at 12 she fell in love with the family's groom, Duncan Mackay, who saved her life and then broke her young heart. What a coincidence that Peter now owes Duncan a large sum of money. Will the heart broken at 12 be able to heal and find a HEA?

Say Yes to the Scot
A Highland Wedding Box Set
4 historical highland novellas by 4 authors

I. HOW A LASS WED A HIGHLANDER by Lecia Cornwall
What a delightful adult fairy tale this story was! Alexander Munro’s clan has been suffering under Baird Sutherland’s marauding. One evening he is off to rescue some of his people when he stumbles upon Cait MacLeod. At first she is a prisoner and suspect but over time she steals the hearts of the people imprisoning her – including Alex’s. The question is whether or not the clan will get their magical fairytale ending and true love will conquer all. I loved it from beginning to end and LOVED finding out what man one more of The Fearsome MacLeod’s daughters ends up with. (5 Stars)

II. A MATCH MADE IN HEATHER by Anna Harrington
Garrick McGuiness, groom, and Arabella Rowland were set to elope only to have their plans thwarted. Ten years later they are both disillusioned, have false information about that night and yet are given a second chance at love. By this time much has happened and it won’t be easy for them to find a HEA…especially as obstinate as they both are. I never understood why Arabella was so true to a family so undeserving or how Garrick could carry a torch, either could carry a torch, for ten years. (2-3 Stars)

III. A MIDSUMMER WEDDING by May McGoldrick
A marriage arranged when children are 3 and 7 is not one that will necessarily be looked forward to when those same children are twenty years older. Elizabeth Hay and Alexander MacPherson, in trying to get out of their upcoming wedding, instead find they have a very good reason indeed to marry…if they are not routed by a regal person wanting to nix the wedding. I liked this one a lot! (4-5 Stars)

IV. THE SCOT SAYS I DO by Sabrina York
Catherine Ross had a crush on Duncan Mackay when she was twelve. He, being older and working in the stable, used teasing to keep her at a distance. Years later he has improved his station, is wealthy and seeks Catherine out to wed. It takes them both a bit of time to admit they care for one another and someone else to kidnap her before a final HEA ending can be achieved. I found this story entertaining but somewhat predictable. (3 Stars)

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press – Swerve for the ARC – This is my honest review.

4 Stars

I received a copy of this e-book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This book consists of 4 novella's by well-known authors that write Scottish romance novels. I have read books b all the authors previously. The stories have a "wedding" theme, where either the hero/heroine must marry. I enjoyed all four stories pretty equally. As a lover of the Scottish romance, the stories had what was important: a braw highlander, a sassy woman and of course strife.

The characters were all well developed and I felt like I was given the opportunity to get to know them as individuals. The descriptions of the keeps and lands surrounding them were so vivid that I could see them in my mind. With this collection of talented authors I knew I would not be disappointed.

I would recommend this book to any lover of Scottish romance.

A wonderful collection of short stories with yummy Scots and strong women. The stories were each different (fairytale, second chance, arranged marriage and young love). There is action, great dialog and fun sexy times. All great reads. I had not read one of the authors previously but her story had me checking out her other books. Enjoy this fantastic summer read.

ARC kindly provided by St. Martin's Press via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really love stories about Scottish Highlanders so getting four from different authors was a bonus. I had only read books by one of the authors, Sabrina York, in the past so now I have 3 more authors added to my list of books to read.

I enjoyed each story equally since they were all very different and all contained my beloved Scottish Highlanders.

HOW A LASS WED A HIGHLANDER by Lecia Cornwall
This story is based on the Princess and the Pea fairy tale. Laird Alex Munro has to find a wife in five weeks or break a generations long pact. The ‘Pea’ is the official engagement ring that must be presented to his chosen wife but it's missing and must be found in time. And if that's not enough for Alex to worry about, the neighboring Laird has been attacking and burning the crofters on Munroe lands. Alex finds Cait MacLeod in the woods near a burned cottage and thinks she must be a spy even though her actions in helping the families who have lost their homes seem to say otherwise. Plus Alex has a certain pull towards Cait that he can't understand. I really loved Cait and Alex and was rooting for their HEA.

A MATCH MADE IN HEATHER by Anna Harrington
Ten years ago Arabel and Garrick were going to elope but at the last minute Arabel tells Garrick that she can't go because her family needs her right now. Garrick is heartbroken and can't understand why she always chooses her family over him. He leaves thinking she had made her choice and she thinks he has abandoned her. When they meet again, there are many misunderstandings that seem like they'll never be resolved but they finally got their HEA.

A MIDSUMMER WEDDING by May McGoldrick
This was a really fun story and I immediately loved Elizabeth and Alex. They were betrothed as children but had never met. She thought he was barbaric Highlander and he thought she was a spoiled little princess. They both want to find a way out of the engagement. Elizabeth tries to trick Alex into thinking she's in love with someone else so he’d break the engagement but her plan goes very wrong and they end up fighting for their lives in the the river in the middle of a huge storm . It was exciting with some laugh out loud moments where they really get to know each other and decide this arranged marriage might not be so bad after all. Of course, it doesn't end up being that simple but ends with their HEA. I really want more of this couple and found out they're in the MacPherson Clan series.

THE SCOT SAYS I DO by Sabrina York
Duncan and Catherine were secretly in love with the other but she was the Lairds daughter and he was a stable hand plus she was only twelve when she spent the summer in the highlands. Years later, Catherine returns home from a ball to find that her brother has lost their entire estate and Duncan owns it all. He also wants to marry her. This was another exciting story with some twists and a HEA.

This book really satisfied my Scottish Highlander craving!

I love Scottish romances and this collection features some excellent authors. I was especially excited to see another story from Lecia Cornell featuring another MacLeod daughter. This retelling of the Princess and the Pea was a delight to read. The hero, Alex Munro, was working hard to keep his clan safe, but he was losing the battle. When he comes across Cait after a raid by a rival clan, he believes her to be a spy and takes her prisoner. It was a delight to see how Alex's opinion of Cait changed throughout the story. Ms. Cornell has written another delightful story.

I look forward to reading the rest of the stories in this collection.
