I thought I would give this new author a read. Well let me tell you I'm very glad I did. Getting hot with the Scot brought out a bevy of emotions in me... it was funny, romantic, infuriating at times, sad at the right times reminicing and just plain ole enjoyable.
The cast of characters were great.
The writing was so expressive- you actually could imagine what it looked like in Scotland!
I will definitely be wanting to read the next book !!

This was a very fun, quick, and light read. Just what I needed after some more serious and creepy thrillers.

I loved the close friendships between the characters, it's nice to read about genuine love and caring for friends these days. Both the male and female characters both had strong friendships and family relations to rely upon, which is a nice change of pace in my books of late.

One of the best parts of this book was the message. Yes, there is love, and friendship, and great backdrops, but also it's about not shaming people for whatever type of book they like to read. Romance, comic books, sci-fi, mysteries. Reading is reading, and that is all that matters.

I really wanted to love this book, I truly did! But I just couldn't get past how immature Logan continued to be. I mean how old was he because he acted like my 12 year old. Pranks and jokes are ok every once in a while and if that is your character, fine but tone it down after, oh say age 14? Yeah not a fan of Logan.
Cassie reminded me of a noodle, one minute she felt one way then the next it was the total opposite. I mean she was a goody two-shoes wanting a hot romp with a hot Scot. I mean I totally get that but I just couldn't connect.
I have the next book to read and review and maybe that one will grab my attention more? We shall see...

This book was amazing! At first I wasn't sure what to expect with this one because it is the first book I have read from this author. The book centers around two characters from two different worlds. Logan Reid, Scottish actor and American Cassie Crowe, correspondent from a sitcom. Both meet during Cassie's vacation with friends and every moment is magical. There were a few things I wish would have happened to other characters in the story, but I was pleased with this authors writing. She kept my attention until the very end and actually had me wishing I were with the characters of this book..

Please read today you will not be disappointed!

Why did I pick this book to read? Well, hot, scot...how could I go wrong?
Cute story and a great escape book.

Melonie Johnson is a new author to me and I was impressed with her style of writing and storytelling. I fell in love with each of these characters. The story was full of fun, flirtatious and sexy moments as well as very serious moments. I would recommend this to my friends.

Logan and Cassie have some off the charts chemistry that they can’t deny. The only problem is neither of father, are looking for anything serious. Can they manage to have a good time together and not become attached? Or is there attraction to each other more than what either of the can walk away from or will they find their HEA? Pick up you copy to find out.

This book had me with the name "Getting Hot with the Scot" and then the description "IT’S TIME TO FLIRT WITH A MAN IN A KILT" What more could I ask for with my obsession with Scottish Highlanders (aka Jamie Fraser)? Logan even reminded me of Jamie with his untamed red hair and Scottish brogue.

I really enjoyed this sexy and funny story. The way Logan and Cassie met was priceless and again had me thinking of my Outlander book boyfriend. This story is in present time though and was so much fun but also serious at times and realistic even after starting with a one night stand (sort of). I really enjoyed their bickering and bantering. Cassie's friends and Logan's best mate really added to the story and I'm so looking forward to the next story in the series with Bonnie and Theo!

This was a really cute romance novel it took me a little to get into, but then I read the last 2/3 of the book in one sitting. I will read more in this series.

This book is well written and I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. The characters are really enjoyable. The pace of the story was good. I can not wait to read the rest of the series.

Ms Johnson, you had me at Scot!

Not going to lie, I am a bit of sucker for a story with a Scotsman, so it was a no brainer to read Getting Hot With The Scot.

Logan and Cassie's story is fun and flirty - though at times I wanted to knock some sense into both Logan and Cassie - and FFS people, talk to each other! It is one of my pet peeves, when there are stupid separations because the characters don't talk to each other - but that is prob just me.

I enjoyed the travelling aspect of the story, and the friendships between Cassie and her girls.

There is a bit of set up for the next book in the series, and lucky for me it is waiting on my kindle for me to dive right in.

I received a copy of from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. Thank you to the author and publisher for the opportunity.

5 Stars and here’s why:

This book title alone hooked me in from the get-go! At first, when I started reading the story, I thought it was another hella-hot time traveler love story, but then when the mischief unfolded, I couldn’t stop laughing. I loved this story! GETTING HOT WITH THE SCOT is a flirty read. It’s a witty contemporary romance that had me turning the pages to see if Cassie and Logan finally get together or if they call it quits. I found the writing superb, the characters engaging, the settings well researched, and the plot thoroughly entertaining. The secondary characters were well developed and I can’t wait to read more by Melonie Johnson! If you like sexy guys with a side of shenanigans, and savvy girls that forge their own path to success, then this book is for you. Highly recommend.

Surprisingly sweet and funny, this vacation fling was a great read. I was impressed by the insightfullness of the lead female.

Getting Hot with the Scot is a charming, hilarious romp!

Cassie and her friends were great. I would want to hang out with them. While, the romance was really about Cassie and Logan; there was another one that had some sparks. Cassie's friend, Bonnie and Logan's friend, Theo. Nothing happened between them but I sure do wish something had. I think there could be something there between those two.

Back to Cassie and Logan. First impressions are important. My first one of Logan was not the best. Yet, he won me over with his tenacity, smile, charm and accent. It is true...women are a sucker for an man with an accent. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

This is the first book I've read by Melonie Johnson, and I loved every page of it!

Logan and Cassie are adorable together. Logan is the host of Shenanigans, a show where pranks are pulled on unsuspecting regular people. Logan sets up a prank in Edinburgh Castle, and Cassie is his unsuspecting subject of the prank. This funny, intense, engaging incident begins their romance.

The pace of the story is perfect. It just keeps moving, always with another laugh, knuckle-biter, or cry in the next chapter. Both main characters, and the supporting cast, are well-developed and likable. I want to invite them over to make Clooties (Logan's favorite food!).

Logan's family suffered a tragedy that shapes how he views the world and relationships with women. Watching him cope and evolve emotionally was touching and authentic. He is thoughtful, strong, and kind. The best kind of guy! Cassie is ambitious, bright, and knows herself. I love plucky, self-aware female characters, and Cassie has that in spades. An important secondary component to the story are close relationships she has with her girlfriends. They are all so lovable, I hope I get to read each of their HEAs.

If there is one area of improvement I could see in this book, it would be more detail in the intimate (not sex) scenes. The progress toward sex and love was great, but the scenes where Cassie and Logan are vulnerable and emotionally intimate could have used more substance.

This is a top notch read, and has everything I love about HEA romance. Strongly recommend!

Getting Hot with the Scot is the first book by Melonie Johnson that I've read, but it definitely won't be the last. I enjoyed her writing style, the story and the characters she brought us.

Cassie Crow and four of her best friends are in the midst of their dream trip across Europe. Each of them selected a country they wanted to visit and Cassie's selection was Scotland, which is one of their final stops. Her hope is to have a fling with a hot European, which is why she threw an unopened box of condoms into her suitcase, but it hasn't happened yet!

Logan Reid has always used his charm to his advantage and a prime example is his current project where he pranks people and catches it on camera. His goal in the long run is to have a show on television, but in order to do that, he needs to increase his female viewership of his online series.

When Cassie encounters Logan the first time, she doesn't realize she's in the middle of a prank. Logan immediately wants her to sign off on them using the footage for his show, but with her career at a crossroads, she doesn't want anything to do with the video series. What she does want though is to spend time with the hot Scot.

The book is full of adventures, sexy times and humor. It is an overall great read and when you add in Cassie's girlfriends and Logan's best friend Theo, you have a great supporting cast. I was very impressed with Melonie Johnson's writing and I can't wait for the next book in this series!

This is a lighthearted & fun story about finding love unexpectedly. Cassie is a hard-working reporter, while Logan is a jokester, but somehow the author brings the career-focused Cassie and commitment-phobic Logan together.

This is a 1st time author for me & I can't wait to read more in this series.

I ended up really enjoying this, although I did have a few issues. The meet-cute is really unique, and the premise of the story is great--girl meets guy on vacation and he follows her back to the States, albeit for the wrong reasons. I really liked the heroine, Cassie. I didn't think she came off as immature as some other reviews have suggested. She seemed pretty up front about what she wanted, and yeah, maybe she did act a bit dramatically at times, but this is a romance novel... And Logan was quite swoony. He had it in his head that commitment leads to heartbreak, but he couldn't help falling for 'the lass.' He treated her so well even when his motivation was a bit mixed up.

The issues for me were that there were far too many female friend side characters. I liked that she was on a vacation with a bunch of her girlfriends, but I don't think we needed to know all of their backstories. A lot of their banter seemed like it was trying to be funny/cutesy, but it just didn't work for me.

And I cannot fathom why the author insisted on pointing out how much Delaney was able to eat and stay thin. Unless the plot of her book is going to be that she has an autoimmune disorder or is bulimic, it seemed like overkill. Skinny girl who likes to eat--we get it. There was a little bit too much emphasis placed on the Bonnie/Theo relationship as well. I understand their book will be next, but one or two hints that there was a spark would've been enough.

Ultimately, I had a fun time reading this. It could've been a bit shorter, with a lot of the side characters and their dialogue cut, but the central relationship was fantastic. If you're looking for a rom-com with a taste of Scotland, this will satisfy you.

A fun romance that has a bit a depth to it- yay! I was fooled at first and then delighted to watch the story unfold with smart characters and believable situations. There were even a few relevant social concerns touched on that helped make this book more than fluff. The supporting characters are set up beautifully for some sequels! I enjoyed this foray into the world of romance!

This book was awesome from the very beginning! I admit Logan had me thinking he was a time traveler there for a second! Cassie is a fantastic character with just the right mix of vulnerability and sassiness and her girlfriends are all great as well. I do wish we’d seen the site to be envious reaction from Tiffany after Logan’s grand NYE gesture! Can’t wait to read Bonnie and Theo’s story now!

This book definitely had me hooked from the beginning. It was witty, flirty, charming and touching. Cassie and Logan have an amazing connection. The author brought the characters and scenery alive. This is my first book by Melonie Johnson and I wasn't disappointed. It was a fun read and I highly recommend it to anyone!
