This is romantic, steamy, amusing and entertaining. Nick is charming, insecure and romantic. Isobel is stubborn, headstrong and snarky. Nick and Isobel are in lust with each other. But when it turns from lust to love for Nick, Isobel doesn't feel the same. She doesn't want to marry, and especially not to an English lord, who will own her and take her from Scotland. Fortunately for Nick he has some relatives who jump in to help him. There are some very funny moments, some not so funny moments, some eye opening moments and some dramatic moments that leave you with a lot of sympathy for Nick. The supporting characters are all fascinating, I hope that they all get their own stories. I recommend adding this to your TBR list.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

It's been a while since I've gotten my hands on a one night book, but this one was so incredibly lovely that I couldn't put it down.

Sabrina York captured my total attention with Nick and Isobel's story. Her writing really is incomparable from the charming characters to the witty dialogue and madcap highjinks. Isobel was the same engaging girl from her parents book .... which just so happened to be my first Sabrina York book. Needless to say that the mischieveous child grew into a lovely heroine .... but still as stubborn as ever. Nick was adorable, sweet and handsome. He was the perfect hero and had a wonderful sense of humor, as well. These two were great together but their path to happiness ever after got a little bit rocky along the way.

I was so pleased with Isobel's book. I loved their journey and meeting every one of the new characters and catching up with my favorites from previous books, as well. Now, I'm seriously looking forward to the next book from Sabrina York.

I am rating this 3.5 rounded up to a 4 because I’m assuming (fervently hoping) that all of the errors in titles and forms of address will be fixed before publication. The book is rife with them – as an example, the wife of a Viscount is not a countess. This is not the author’s first book written in this period, so I just have to believe that those errors will be fixed before publication.

I have been looking forward to this book to see what Isobel would be getting up to next, but I just couldn’t get myself to really like her or to be invested in her character. What were cute antics in a five-year-old were just annoying and childish in an adult – and I didn’t really think she had matured very much. She seemed very selfish and didn’t seem to care that the actions she took hurt other people very deeply. I thought Catriona would have been a much better heroine. She was just as strong and fierce as Isobel, but she was also loving and open to trying new things and new people. I LOVED Nick! He was definitely a keeper!

I absolutely loved how Isobel and Nick met. It was priceless and their time together at Newcastle was wonderful. I loved how they got to know each other and each mistook the other for a servant. They came to care for each other without knowing titles, status, etc.

The book is filled with humor and you’ll find many moments where you’ll find yourself smiling – if not laughing. The hellions are priceless.

I also loved how Isobel, her entire family and Nick’s family dealt with Celia and her mother. I have ALWAYS wanted to see that happen. I would have really liked to see Nick deal with Celia’s brother for what he said to her at the ball (or was it a party).

I would have liked it had the Epilogue been just another chapter and that there was an Epilogue that took place at some point in the future when there is a baby and a gathering. Maybe even with one child three or four years old and just as wild as she was and another baby on the way.

The story was fast paced and never boring – even though the heroine was annoying. I really failed to figure out exactly what she was so afraid of because the reason she gave was much too modern for that time period and I just couldn’t buy it.

It is a good read and I will really be looking forward to reading Catriona’s story.

"I requested and received this e-book at no cost to me and volunteered to read it; my review is my honest opinion and given without any influence by the author or publisher."

Sexy and hot story with intriguing new characters and enjoyable old characters from the author’s previous books makes this book a joy to read. The only complaint I have is with the heroine’s character. I adored the hero and felt like the heroine was only interested in him for a fling. It broke my heart to read on how the hero agonized over it. But other than that I thoroughly enjoyed the story and recommend reading it. This can be read as a standalone book but some loving characters from the author’s previous books do make a comeback in this story.

3.5*
Mistaken identity and secret trysts starts a man on the chase of a lifetime and a women on a path of realization and hopefully love.
Isobel Dounreay Lochlannach is my favorite character in this series. She was such a little spitfire from the beginning. One of the best child characters of any book I’ve read and I’ve been waiting for her book for what felt like forever. I knew that her love interest would have to be strong and smart and kind and with a spin of steal and love her for the person she is. Nick Wyeth, Lord Stirling was just that man. Neither one every wanted to marry. Isobel feared she would loose herself and freedom if married and Nick found the ladies of the ton as selfish and petty and didn’t want to leash himself to any one until, Isobel. Nick knew he’d have to prove himself to Isobel he just didn’t know how many road blocks she would build along the way. Fear is one of the strongest feelings and misunderstanding of what Isobel truly feared almost put an end to the future she truly wanted.
This was an enjoyable book with witty banter and great chemistry between Isobel and Nick. I also enjoyed the secondary characters new and from the past books of the series.

Another simply great story by Ms. York. Never fails to delight and this one is a winner. I really liked Isobel. She was daring and interesting. Nick was such a solid character that I liked him from the start. Overall I couldn't stop reading.

I liked Nick and Isobel’s story. This is a fast-paced historical read with plenty of drama, thanks to Isobel and great chemistry. The story is fun and entertaining, I liked the characters although Isobel did get a bit annoying. A good read.

Isobel Dounreay Lochlannach, a feisty Scottish lass is off to London for her dreaded Season, dubbed as a hoyden, she revelled in it. She has decided that marriage, especially to an Englishman, is a no-no. Her independence is paramount. She met a gorgeous stable hand (so she thinks) in Newcastle who saves her from a fatal accident and asked for a kiss as a reward. Nicholas Wyeth, Viscount Stirling, found the Scots maid (so he thinks) irresistibly attractive. An instant mutual interest was stamped with an earth-shattering kiss (and our h/h carry on with their clandestine meetings for more kisses)! Then Isobel left without so much as a by your leave.

Well as fate would have it, they meet again in London. They get to know each other in sedate speed. Isobel has prejudices against the English. When reality dawned that Nick is an English Lord, she resisted his friendship. But Nick's mother is a Scotswoman too who was treated with less respect than her English counterpart, whilst living in London, so he emphatises with Isobel.

Nick and Isobel engages in easy banter. They share bone-melting kisses. They are mutually attracted and affectionate with each other and they are equally sensual!

I just didn't understand why Nick and Isobel have both missed (several times, in fact) the glaring obvious, that they are not, what they assumed they were, that is, stable lad and Scots maid!

Sabrina York writes sexy hero and heroine so well. The characters' teasing wordplays are so witty.

I voluntarily read an eGalley from the publisher. This is my honest and impartial review.

I just love how well written this story is, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough Isobel and Nick were quite charming and I loved seeing Isobel's defences coming down

I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley and I am voluntarily leaving my own opinion

What a Highlander's Got To Do by Sabrina York
Untamed Highlanders #5

Looking for an easy to read simple romance that is rather predictable?
Want a feisty female heroine?
Want a Lord to marry the heroine?
Want a horse chase and save?
Want push-pull with both H&h undecided?

This might be the book for you.

That said…I really liked the previous books in this series but felt this one needed more…more about why Isobel was so leery…why Nick was the way he was…why Celia and her mom go away with what they did…so many times…The story was wrapped up in a bow by the end but it was not my favorite book by this author. That said…I will read her next book to see if I like it better.

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

2-3 Stars

Book 5 of the untamed highlander series by Sabrina York sees us with the story of Isobel, wild child, independent, string and knows what she wants and Nick, viscount Sterling, half Scots and knows what he wants but getting what he wants might be a problem. Isobel is on her way to London when she meets a man whom she thinks is a stable lad and she steals a kiss from him not thinking she will ever meet him again. He was intact Viscount Sterling or Nick and if it was ever leaked that he and Isobel kissed then he would have to marry her and she doesn't want that. In fact she doesn't want to marry an Englishman although Nick is half Scots and wears a kilt. Can Nick show Isobel exactly where she needs to be and with who or is she to string willed to be trained?

I had a laugh at some of the things the family said and done especially when it came to Isobel

"She blew up a castle"
"She was only 5 years old"
" But I've hardly blown anything up since" Isobel lol

Above still and me chuckling now. Although in haven't read many historical romance books and I tend to stock to romances, I did love this book and I went on to buy the first 4 books to get up to speed with the series and the characters. I can't wait for the next books to come. I voluntarily reviewed this book as an advanced reader copy from Netgalley.

Isobel is a feisty Scottish lass who is of a marriageable age. The problem is that she refuses to travel to England for the "season." She is determined to NEVER marry but, what's the harm in having a little fun with an English stable lad? Problem is that, once Isobel gets to England, she realizes that her 'stable lad' is Viscount Nicholas, son of an English Duke! The horror!!! So he's half Scot = Who cares? She will NEVER MARRY!!! She will NEVER bow to ANY MAN!!! The big problem with that is Nick is just as determined to have Isobel as his wife!!! Let the games begin!!!

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

I was only planning on reading a chapter before I did some errands, and could not put the book down! I ended up reading it to the end and never did get anything else done!

Poor Nick, he finally is ready to settle down with a woman that he loves and she doesn't want marriage and plans on living in Scotland alone.

I think if you have read any of the previous highlander books that you will especially love the grown up Isobel. While I have only read one of the previous books, I was able to read this as a stand alone but always love reading about previous characters in a series.

Isobel is such a fun strong woman and how can you not love Nick?? So glad that Isobel finally realized that marriage was not going to be a prison sentence and she could actually be happy being married.

I hope Catriona will be next book and that we hear more about Isobel and Nick, and their baby!

Mistaken identity often turns out delightful. Such is that case with Isobel Dounreay Lochlannach, meets a stable hand ( or so she thinks) who saves her from a terrible accident. Nick Wyeth, Viscount Stirling is enchanted when he meets her and there is definitely a strong spark of attraction between the two. Of course there will be nothing easy between Isobel, who is a very independent, feisty Scottish lass and Nick, an English lord determined to have her. Meeting in secret and still having not knowing each others identity, they part when Isobel goes to London with her family. Well as fate would have it they meet again in London and each finds out the others true identity. This is a delightful story that enchants with the banter back and forth between the two. But Isobel wants to be back in Scotland and have her freedom and Nick just wants her for himself. A light read with some drama and a lot of emotions that overall was enjoyable.

Well, I don’t get to say this very often, my fellow Scottish romance book loving friends. This time around the heroine was the one slow to come to her senses and reluctant to recognize love when it is right in front of her. So caught up in her empty headed mantra “I’ll never marry an Englishman” she seems ready to walk away from a perfect for her half Scottish gent, even after he’s jumped through hoops and is willing to do anything to keep her. At 70%, it was a punch to the gut and Nick’s heart, as well as my own, to hear Isobel profess she still wasn’t in this for love, only to continue their brief fling before she goes back to Scotland alone. With those words, I was pretty much done with her and this storyline.

Prejudice doesn’t look good on anyone, folks, and that is exactly what Isobel was when it came to English men. Self absorbed and only focusing on what she wanted with little to no regard to how her actions and empty promises affected others had me disliking her. Poor Nick became so love sick he was willing to change his world completely and become whoever she wanted him to be (even if it meant changing how he dressed and spoke). Basically do the exact opposite what the heroine was willing to do for love. She refused to change anything about herself. He was willing to change everything.

At 80%, her stupidity put her and Nick in a deadly situation. Sure, now she’s finally seen the light, but, honestly, I feel Nick deserved better than what she put him through. Having enjoyed all four previous books, this one is definitely my least favorite of the series.

(I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I was not given any payment or compensation for this review, nor is there any affiliation or relationship between this reviewer and the author/publisher/NetGalley.)

This book was delightful from start to finish! Isobel is such a refreshing character and I loved her friend Catriona! And Nick “be still my heart.” I need to find a man like that. Definitely a wonderful and enchanting read.

What a Highlander's Got To Do by Sabrina York is book Five in the "Untamed Highlanders" series. This is the story of Isobel Dounreay Lochlannach and Nick Wyeth, Viscount Stirling. I have read (and Loved!) the other books in this series but feel this can easily be a standalone book.
Isobel is a Scottish Lass with great family connections but is known as a hoyden, savage among other things by the English. Isobel prefers Scotland but is staying with Lady Willouby in Newcastle until her family returns. Once they do they are headed to attend the English Season which Isobel isn't looking forward too. Isobel family thinks to find husband's for to find a husband for Isobel and Catriona. While at Lady Willouby she happens to meet Nick while out riding. Isobel assumes he is a stable hand by the way he is dress and they banner back and forth. Nick thinks too she is just a maid but soon learns when he returns to the house who she is and where Isobel is staying. Nick is attracted to her and is somewhat disappointed the Isobel isn't a maid that he can play with...but it doesn't stop him from wanting to see her.
Isobel family shows up to get her before she can make contact with Nick to let him know that she won't be seeing him. When Nick learns she is gone he heads after her not yet wanting to give her up even though he has only met her once.
This was such a great story! I am never ever disappointed in Ms. York's writing. Just loved this book !

What a Highlander's Got to Do, was my first book by Sabrina York and I loved it! I am so glad I got this book from Netgalley, (on a whim because the cover was sexy) because I fell in love with the Untamed Highlanders world. This was the 5th book in the series, but can be read as a stand alone. I fell so in love with all of Isobel and Nick's family that I will be going back and reading all their books as well. Sabrina York's writing style was amazing. She really brought the characters to life. Nick was absolutely scrumptious. He was sexy, sweet, playful, and protective. He loved Isobel just as she was. He fell hard for her and he pursued her like the 1/2 Scottish beast he was. Isobel was very likable. Headstrong, stubborn, wild and independent to the point of reckless at times, Isobel made laugh, smile and want to shake some sense into her in equal measures.
Nick and Isobel had combustible passion. They made a really cute couple, and I was totally invested in their relationship. This book was a 5 star read for me, until Isobel did something stupid and made me want to rip my hair out. I could overlook it for the most part because she was so likable, but it dimmed my enjoyment of this book a tad. Still this was a good 4 star read for me. There was so much Scottish fun in this book. Cute wild Scottish children, sexy Scottish men and Sweet loving couples. I laughed and smiled a lot while reading. I fell in love with not only the main couple but the secondary characters as well. Sabrina York has a new fangirl. Now I have to go buy the secondary character's books so I can enjoy all their stories too!

Maybe 3.5 (assuming the title errors/formal address are fixed by publication)

I was really looking forward to this book, I have enjoyed Isobel's antics from the beginning of the series when she was a little girl and I was excited to see her all grown up.

I guess it's true - be careful what you wish for - what I found cute and precocious in a six year old child, I found to be vastly annoying in a young woman. She is still just as bratty and impetuous now as she was then, she still thinks she knows better than anyone else and that her ideas and wishes are paramount.

Isobel is staying with a family friend in Newcastle while the rest of her family is attending Aunt Esmerelda, once they return they will all be going to London for the season - to find a husband for Isobel and Catriona - a plan that Isobel doesn't agree with nor one she plans to follow.

While out riding she meets a man and assumes he is a stable boy, they talk and flirt and share a kiss. Isobel makes plans to see him again the next day. Edward Nicholas Wyeth, Viscount Stirling aka Nick is not a stable boy and he is captivated by the wild Scottish girl he just met, he plans his seduction, thinking she is a maid. Later he learns he might be wrong and she might actually be a well born lady, but he keeps his rendezvous with her anyway. They talk and he is sure she is a maid but then discovers she is a virgin and his honor won't let him despoil her - but Isobel wants to be despoiled! When they meet again she is bound and determined to be had - and takes matters into her own hands. They make love and it is earth shattering and they plan to meet as often as they can before she leaves.

She returns back to the house and is dismayed that her family has arrived, she has no way to tell Nick that she is leaving but it was never going to be anything more than a fleeting affair, its not like they were in love or anything... So why is she still thinking about him days later and thinking that she sees him in the park? Nick realizes that the family left for London and takes off after them - happy to leave considering his host's sister is "hunting" him and even tried to compromise him into marrying her. He arrives in London and has no idea how to find her and knows he will have to ask his mother for help. That is when he learns that his Isobel is not a maid and that his mother has met her and wants Nick to meet her. Perfect!

Later that night they meet at a ball, but Isobel still thinks he is a stable boy and has snuck into the ball, they go out to the terrace and after a kiss, she asks him what he is doing there and tries to get him to leave, when someone calls him, she is worried he has been caught, but soon realizes that his is not a stable boy but a Lord - an ENGLISH Lord - she is miffed and leaves with his friend Tully, leaving Nick alone with Lady Celia - the girl that is "hunting" him. Nick needs to speak to Isobel, but she ignores him and leaves the ball. She is angry, he lied to her! But Cat points out that he never lied and Isobel is not being fair. Isobel admits that he didn't lie, but she is still angry.

They meet again at a house party given by his mother and form a truce of sorts, he wants her and believes that he may be falling in love, but Isobel just wants an affair. When they ended up betrothed, he is elated and it seems like she is too - but he soon learns the truth - she is happy because it means they can have an affair and then she can dump him when she is ready to go back to Scotland. Nick is intent on winning Isobel and plans to woo her and win her.

For the next couple of months everything goes well, but Isobel still refuses to marry him and when she learns something that could change everything - she bolts. Leaving Nick to decide if he should still fight for her or finally let her go.

While the story was non-stop and very amusing, I failed to truly understand what exactly Isobel was afraid of - losing herself? I have a hard time with this mindset in this era - there is no such thing as an independent woman, especially an unmarried woman of no fortune. Isobel came across as very selfish, ignorant and a bit TSTL. She wasn't mean and she understood her actions would hurt people, but it didn't stop her from doing them anyway and for that I lost what little respect I had for her. Nick was wonderful and I loved him as well as the other Edwards and his twin cousins. The story had a lot of steamy love scenes, more than one villain, some laugh out loud funny moments and a very sweet HEA. On the downside, Isobel is annoying and there are more formal address and title errors in this book than any other book I have ever read - I was shocked, Ms. York is not a HR newbie, so I can only hope these are fixed before this book publishes.

This is the fifth book in the series, but it is set much later and could absolutely be read as a stand alone title. While this wasn't my favorite in the series, I would recommend it and look forward to reading Cat's story.

That was a fun highlander romance! Every so often I need my fix of a good Scottish highlander romance and this one didn't disappoint. I really liked Nick even though he was only half Scottish! Isobel did get on my nerves a bit but she was a head strong Scottish lass who was determined not to marry, especially not an English Lord like Nick. They way they met and had a fling while knowing nothing about the other besides their passion was fun and sure to lead to some interesting misunderstandings in the future. Which it certainly did.

This was an entertaining read with lots of humour and steam and just a little angst. The banter between Nick and Isobel and also the rest of their families was lots of fun.
