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!

This book was exactly what I wanted. It was a romantic, fun, easy read. I genuinely was rooting for the main characters. I loved them separate and I loved them together. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

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.

Cassie Crow is on a once-in-a-lifetime vacation through Europe with four of her best friends. Their second-to-last stop is Scotland and she's still toting around a box full of condoms she was hoping to use on a foreign fling. She's loaded her charm bracelet with keepsakes from each stop so her final goal is to be impulsive and leave with a heart-pounding memory that she'll never forget.
While on a tour of a Scottish castle Cassie stumbles upon a kilted Highlander stuck in a wall who is trying to convince her he's a time-traveller. She may not fall for it but she's unable to resist him and so the encounter results in a searing kiss...until she releases who he is and becomes furious.
Logan Reid is a sexy, charming Scot who has built a career hosting off-the-wall hijinks on the web. He's looking to move to TV but in order to do so he must prove that he can garner the female viewers. When he meets Cassie, he finds his big break. Only problem? She refuses to sign the release form. She's trying to advance her career and be taken seriously as a broadcast journalist so she knows that allowing this video to air can destroy her credibility.

Getting Hot with the Scot was such a cute, fun read. I loved the setting - there's nowhere I want to visit more than Scotland - and the meeting between Cassie and Logan was priceless. Their chemistry is undeniable and I was rooting for them to work it out - even if Logan could be a bit too immature for my liking.
This is a quick read but at times it felt like it was a little too long and the pacing could have been better. There are a lot of characters and the way it switched POV's could be a bit distracting.
That being said, I'm excited for the next installment - especially since it'll focus on Bonnie and Theo!

This is my first Melonie Johnson read and I will tell you that it will not be my last.

Logan is this super hot sexy Scottish guy who is a huge prankster.

Cassie is a cute loveable young woman who is looking to cross some things off her list while traveling.

I will tell you that I truly enjoyed this book. Also the first line of this book got me and with that one line I knew this book was going to be great!

I was swooning and laughing out loud with this read.

Highly recommended! This is the perfect curl up on the couch kind of book!

Well written, sexy and fun. Enjoyable light read. Two career driven young people who are not looking for committment find themselves out of their comfort zones. My first novel by this author but not my last

An absolutely fun-loving romp. It reminds me of every great rom com! Funny and sweet and everything you could imagine.

Light reading with a lot of humor. Not real strong characters, however, very likable. At the start, Logan was pretty immature but got it together at the end with a HEA. Looking at the next story and following all the main characters.

This book was gifted to me by the publisher in return for an honest review.

Melonie Johnson gives us a fun International romp between a sassy, strong American and sexy Scottish pranker. This novel has elements of humor and lightness--but it also treats the reader to more serious topics through character development. The novel is light and fun with just the perfect hint of seriousness. A great read!

I genuinely love a book about a lighthearted romantic romp. I think where this book goes slightly off kilter (Pardon the expression) is the ridiculous silliness in the set up of the meeting and especially the use of all the cliché Scottish terms. The whole romance lacks depth and the vapid friends are comical. I think the book was mostly silly and daft. I do believe this will be a popular book with girls 17 to 21 years of age. A good effort, just not good enough.

This book was sent me by the publisher, St. Martin’s Press. By now, they know I love historical fiction and historical romance novels, especially those with a connection to Scotland. Getting Hot with the Scot, by two-time RWA Golden Heart finalist, Melanie Johnson, did not disappoint. It will be available at your favorite bookseller on April 30, 2019.

When Cassie Crowe and her girlfriends were very young, they planned to travel through Europe on a once-in-a-lifetime vacation when their careers were established. It was near the end of this trip that Cassie stumbled into the set of a reality TV show, and met her very hot Scot, Logan Reid.

Logan is a gorgeous, hot, kilted, and beautifully accented Scottish hunk. He is also the host of a web series of pranks that has made him famous on the Internet. While he hopes this latest prank will earn him a TV series, Cassie, a pop-culture reporter on morning TV, has high hopes for a more serious position on her local morning show.

Through her characters, Johnson makes a case for literacy programs for children, and for one of my own pet peeves: adults on social media who don’t know the difference between their, there, and they’re – but don’t let me get started on that. She also makes a great case for romance novels by hosting a segment on her morning show called “Coming Out of the Book Closet” about professionals, including herself who love romance novels. She is on a mission (I’m with her all the way!) to dispel the notion that intelligent people don’t read romance novels. We all know that reading, in general, is important to maintaining and improving brain activity. I highly recommend Getting Hot with the Scot o any lover of romance.

What Makes This Reviewer Grumpy?

The usual things: referring to people as "that" instead of "who", misplacement of the word "only" within sentences, split-infinitives, and singular vs. plural disagreement within sentences.

This book had everything you could ask for in a romance - great characters that seem relatable, fun and original story line, a touch of humor and plenty of steam. If this first book is any indication, Melonie Johnson will stay on my must read author list! I don't often pick quotes out of books I read but I did in this one, in fact several quotes stood out. But the best ones include "smart women read romance" and to my disappointment "contrary to her fantasy version of Scotland, hunky, shirtless guys in kilts weren't sprinkled liberally across the country." A terrific debut and I'm eagerly awaiting book two in the series since apparently Bonnie the heroine of the next book is "library whore," what more needs to be said!

5 college girlfriends decide to take the trip of a lifetime. Logan, is a sexy prankster who gets Cassie to fall for one of his pranks during her tour of a Scottish castle. Once Cassie realizes what's going on, Logan has a hard time getting her to agree to allow the prank to be aired on his website. In his pursuit of her agreement, he realizes he's falling for her. Cassie's friends are both loyal and supportive to her but also see the potential in Logan. This was a good paced story-line with great sexy-times and world building. I really enjoyed the advance access to Getting Hot with the Scot. Melonie Johnson is a new to me author and I am looking forward to reading more from her and reading about the love lives of the rest of Cassie's friends.

Getting Hot with the Scot by Melonie Johnson is the first in the series. Fun sexy book. I really enjoyed it and really look forward to reading future books by this author.

This is funny, sweet, and just a bit sexy. This novel opens with five girlfriends on European trip of a lifetime as they visit their fantasy destination. For Cassie, she wants to meet a Scot in a kilt, and if she should have a whirlwind vacation romance, so much the better. When she stumbles across Logan, dressed in a kilt, she wonders if her dreams have come true. What follows is engaging and entertaining, as Cassie enjoys her flirtation with the Scot, even as his playful manner hides his own demons.

This is a new author whose work I think I'm going to enjoy very much. I'm already looking forward to the next book in the series and seeing what shenanigans the other friends can find. Put this one on your TBR list as this is an author to watch.

Getting Hot with the Scot by Melonie Johnson. The first book in the Sometimes in Love series. A new to me author. Even though it took me awhile to get into the book I liked the characters, and storyline. It has a little spicy content which was perfect for the storyline.
