Such a fun and unique premise for a romance book! I know my younger romance readers will get a kick out of this and could see many of my New Adult readers really enjoying this one as well. A fabulous addition to our romance shelves.

If you love the feel of historical romance set in todays life this is the book for you.....Cassie and Logan are the couple for you. This book is fast paced full of sex and will have you laughing out loud.

I REALLY enjoyed this book. It was well written especially the character of Cassie who made you feel like she wasn't a run of the mill, modern damsel in distress from most romance novels. The development of the other supporting characters in the book makes me eager to read their stories. I only hope that we get glimpses of Cassie's life in the books that concentrate on her friends love lives.

I was hoping for a cozy romance. DNF
Won't leave a review anywhere
Thanks for granting me access to this book

Loved Cassie and Logan. Such a cute story! Really enjoyed this one.
Many thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

I don’t often read new authors, preferring my favorites, but who can resist a Hot Scot? Not me. I received an ARC from NetGalley to enjoy and review. I found the story engaging and a quick, fun read. I enjoyed the chemistry between Logan and Cassie. There wasn’t a lot of conflict or high passion, but still an enjoyable read. I am really looking forward to Bonnie and Theo’s story which is surely coming next. I’ll certainly give this author another read.

When I read the book blurb, I was right there to read it. However, it turned out that the premise wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. I thought, that’s okay, and continued to read. While the book was well-written and had clever story lines...I just could not like the characters. I found them to be a bit silly, a lot of time abrupt, and it was hard to believe that some of them were close, good friends. I will read the next book in the series to see if it was just this book or the author’s style. It is for that reason that I give it four stars. I received an ARC from NetGalley, and this is my honest review.

This was the first book I read by Melanie and i really enjoyed, I will be looking forward to other books by her

Cassie and Logan are so hot and crazy together. What began in a joke finish in a love story with ahappy ending. You never know what life you reserve.

This was so much fun! Logan was kind of amazing. I adored his mischievousness and humor, but also his sweetness, and the fact that he was willing to open himself up to being vulnerable. The accent, which I had no problem hearing in my head, didn't hurt either!
Cassie was well-rounded enough as well, and made for a nice contrast to Logan. I loved how she was able to call Logan out on things, and appreciated her own sense of humor, and her strength.
I will say that this felt more like it should have been a duet, with a bit of a lull between the end of vacation and the beginning of real life. I would have enjoyed more fleshing out there in a separate book.
I feel it did a great job and some 4th wall breaking, especially in the last third. I loved all of the friends and family, and look forward to more of the series!

This is a fun rom-com romance.It seems to be in that younger Millineal/older gen Z demographic. Logan is a a Youtube style prankster and Cassie is a pop-culture reporter who ends up in the middle of a scene.This is a cute story.The characters seemed a little immature and I didn't connect with either one deeply.I enjoyed the journey for what it is.
I received a copy through Netgalley.

What a fun, sexy and romantic read. The fact that it was all wrapped up with a Scottish accent made it even better. This book was so charming, written well and entertaining throughout. I enjoyed every second. Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC.

Thanks to NetGallery for providing this book in exchange for a fair review.
It pains me to give this a lower review because in all fairness, this has all the right ingredients for a great romance novel.
✅Great chemistry between the main characters
✅Sassy group of secondary characters
✅No significant family drama
✅Quick resolution to misunderstandings
I think this might be a case of: "It's not you, it's me." I struggled to bond with either main character closely, particularly Cassie. Her characterization throughout the book felt incredibly flat, lacking in depth and transformational luster that I like to see in my heroines by the last quarter of a book. She never had to change or make room for Logan, it was all on him to set aside his fears and insecurities to make their relationship work.
I enjoyed the arm chair travel elements of the novel, taking the reader through London and rural Scotland in well detailed vignettes. The time spent with Logan's mother was especially lovely.
Although this wasn't my favorite thing that I've read lately, I'm still looking forward to Bonnie and Theo's book. I suspect Melonie Johnson will be one to watch and while her first book wasn't a true "banger" (as in the Scottish word for firework, get your mind out of the gutter) for me, I will be keeping a keen eye out for her future releases.

A very fun, sexy read! I laughed and cried, which to me means a good book. I'm very much looking forward to the other girls stories. Thanks so much for the arc.
I reviewed on goodreads, also.

Getting Hot Hot With the Scot is what I would categorize as a new adult novel, perfect for 20-30 year old female. Girl friends from America on a trip through Europe tour a castle in Scotland where TV personality Cassie meets Logan when she accidentally stumbles into a room where his latest Shenanigans episode is being filmed. The resulting meet cute is a unique one. Cassie is angling for a promotion and refuses to sign a release so Logan can post his latest prank online. Needing that release form to keep his own show pulling in ratings, and get his sister off his back, Logan decides to follow the girls to to try again to get Cassie’s signature. What he does get should delight the author’s targeted demographic. The book is well written with well defined if somewhat crazy characters. I received a copy from NetGalley. My review is voluntarily.

Ok, so unbeknownst to me I had received an ARC for the 2nd book in this series and read it last month. I just received this one and started reading and was like... wait. So obviously I knew some spoilers from having read the second one first. That being said, I loved both books. Logan is hot and Scottish. I mean..... enough said.
Seriously though, I love melonie’s writing and the book was great. I look forward to reading the 3rd!

Thoroughly enjoyed this author. Plot was well paced. Characters were steamy. The relationship had really good energy. The book featured historical fiction that was well researched and engaging. A really fun read.

I received this ARC for an honest review. I read the second book in the series first. I know...like everything in my life...I did it backwards. Even though this a the first book in a series, it can be read as a stand alone. I enjoyed this story. It is a cute series. Cassie and her friends go on an European vacation. They go to several countries. When they reach Scotland, Cassie goes on a tour of Edinburgh Castle. When she gets lost after using the bathroom, she hears moaning coming from a room. She follows the sound and finds a hidden room behind a book case. When Cassie opens the bookcase, a man dressed in a kilt stumbles out. What happens next, you NEED to read the book.
This is a cute story, and I enjoyed it. I will be reading the third book. I am glad that I gave Melonie Johnson a chance.

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."
Loved this book very much. It had just enough sweet, sexy romance and the storyline was great! I highly recommend!

A very contemporary romance. Johnson not only has the sexy character desired in a romance (who doesn't want the sexy Scottish accent and the image of a man in a kilt), but also deals with social media and You Tube style jobs. Johnson is perfect for the reader desiring a contemporary setting.
