This was book was adorable and you fall in love with a hot Scot and I have to say that I would have done the same thing that Cassie did and enjoyed an affair while on vaca, shoot I was jealous. I laughed at how they said she read too many romance books, I personally do not think that that is possible. We get to enjoy the vacation thru their eyes and I always like to read about a group of friends that have fun together but are there for each other when needed. And the romance between Cassie and Logan was hotttttt. Can't wait to hopefully read about Bonnie and Theo..Enjoy!

Getting Hit with the Scot was a very well written romance, hea, sexy, funny book. This is a new author for me and I'm super stoked to add her to my who to watch for new books list! Brilliant characters and side characters. Plenty of emotions and excitement. Picture the Sex and the City girls going on a European vacation together! This book was a blast of sexy kilts , Scots and even a sexy Prince Eric look a like English Duke to round out the hottness! I hope we get Bonnie's story next!!!
Gifted by Netgalley for an honest review and I honestly super duper recommend reading this book to all romance book lovers out there! Sexy Scot in a kilt what not to love!

This was a very fun read! Romance and humor combined to keep me glued from the first few pages. Cassie and Logan may seem to come at life from very different places, but they have a lot more in common that it seems. A quick affair is all Cassie wants, but she may get more than she bargained for. Logan is just out to finally make a name for himself, but he can't get Cassie out of his head. These two are combustible, and no matter the obstacles life throws at you, sometimes love can just find its way.

This is a rom com. Lots of funny scenes. Cassie is a lot more straight laced than Logan. Logan tells some lies that misdirects his relationship with Cassie.its a fairly fast and easy read. Logan is from Scotland so we get a lot of sexy Scottish brogue. Its a very nice story.

Super Cute idea for Getting Hot With the Scot! Thought I had misunderstood the synopsis of the book with an added time travel mixed in for fun! Cassie and her unusual mixture of friends who travel together are visiting a castle and get separated. Cassie stumbles on a movable bookcase with a groaning, kilted, amnesic, hunky Scot locked up behind it. Cassie sees this as her opportunity to lay one on the Scot. We know it is going to come back to haunt her later, but first, these two truly do make a connection.

I love Logan’s honest with himself over the feelings of guilt he had in following Cassie and trying to get her to sign the contract. He seemed to battle with himself over the connection he has with her versus the need to promote his television show. Even the way he follows her to Chicago and his inner battle with how to approach her shows he does have a heart and feelings for Cassie.

Her group of friends are quite a combination in this mix, too. At times, they take it upon themselves to help her out, with mixed results. Cassie has such a good heart and is as open as she can be with Logan, with her friends, and with her work colleagues who do not always deserve it.

This is a charming romance, with great scenic descriptions, and travels back and forth between Great Britain and the US. Makes you want to take a vacation to visit some of these amazing places. This is a great, contemporary romance with more than a bit of Scottish brogue from our male lead and friend. It would be an amazing weekend read.

A Modern Day, Fairytale, Adult Romance💚
This was enjoyably entertaining for me, always with a bit of humor lurking, which truly plays an integral part of Logan's history and his "Shenanigans". When he and Cassie first meet, the sparks do fly, (not always sexual-but there is that, too) so very interesting to see how it all plays out. His Scottish brogue just gives ye the good goosebumps!! (Well, depending on how good ye are at it in yer head, don't ye ken, lassies). Yes, sorry, I'll stick to reading😉
The scenic descriptions have me wanting my own tour of Europe, and maybe find my own Hot Scot. Cassie's friends are an eclectic bunch of bffs, who either help or hinder lol, depending on who you talk to. I'm hoping Theo, Logan's old mate, gets his story next, as he was quite dishy and seems to be taken with Cassie's bf, Bonnie, who is already kind of taken, which I think, should provide some very good reading, especially if the girls all offer their "help" again. Or maybe there's a whole other twist, but I'm definitely interested in reading more from this series and author.
When Cassie and Logan return to their jobs, there's a lot more anxst and drama due to the pressures of their positions in the media, so it lost a wee bit of its levity, but such is reality. Things get twisted and straightened yet again, which slowed it down a bit for my tastes, but they do, finally, get their HEA, and in such a memorable unique staging.
I was happy to receive an ARC thru Net Galley and am freely giving my honest opinions

Mmmmm this book was just ok for me, it was a decent light read! This is Cassie and Logan book, cassie is trying to become a serious journalist and working for a tv talk show isn't cutting it but hopefully if all goes well she'll hit her bigtime ! Logan is a big goofball and is the host of an off the wall bikinis show on the web! He's in a castle trying to pull a prank on a hot American girl! Which of course happens to be cassie! This book had its funny moments and it was a light good read i do recommend it but it wasn't my favorite but still good! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

This was a cute romance book and I enjoyed the book but it had so many characters that at times I got confused. Also it does have a lot of sex in it and that is something that I have to make note of since I own a bookstore and have customers who love books with lots of sex and customers who do not want lots of sex in their books. And yes, I have goofed up and given wrong books to customers. I will recommend this book to my "loves sex" customers

Thanks to Netgalley for letting me read this book.

This book was adorable. Cassie Crow and her lifetime friends are on the vacation of a lifetime across Europe. She has an empty charm bracelet and a box full of condoms. All she wants for souvenirs is to fill the bracelet up and have a one night stand with a hot foreign guy. Before she knows it, she is in an old Scottish castle and finds a lad behind a stairwell who appears to be from the 1700’s and very confused where he is supposed to be. Before long, she is mugging down with him when she realizes that she isn’t kissing a time traveling hot Scot, but a famous YouTube prankster. In order to continue his success he needs Cassie’s permission to publish his best work. So he is lead to stalk her to get the waiver signed, but along the way maybe it is more about the girl than the career.

This was a great introduction to this author. The book had a bit of everything to draw in the reader. There were great friendships, family relationships, romance, and steam all made more interesting with conflict and humor.

Cassie and Logan meet under very unusual circumstances during a European trip that Cassie and her four friends have taken. The unusual circumstances could be very good for Logan's future but could be quite detrimental to Cassie's career goals. This dilemma provides the conflict, but as feelings become involved, lines become more blurred.

Throughout the romance of Cassie and Logan, we see the interactions of not only them, but among all of the secondary characters. They are all unique and entertaining, which moves the story along and leaves the reader wanting more of them. Even Logan's mother and sister and the conversations Cassie has with her own mother help to develop the background and make the characters real and relatable.

Overall, I found the story and characters very well-developed and fast-paced. The relationships, the romance, and the steamy scenes make this a highly recommended book. I look forward to hearing the stories of the other friends.

I received an ARC via Netgalley, thank you

I sat down with my cup of coffee and dived right into this sweet romance. There are many different characters revolving around this book that can be distracting but overall the story was complete and interesting.

Cassie Crow is a pop-culture reporter for a TV talk show in Chicago. She and her friends embark on the vacation of a lifetime where she meets a kilted Highlander with a killer accent on a tour of a Scottish castle. Logan Reid has built a career hosting a series of off-the-wall hijinks on the Web. His latest prank is to convince Cassie that he's a time traveling Scot. When she catches on she's furious. She's trying to convince her boss that she's a serious journalist and this won't help. He has to convince her to sign a release for the prank to be aired to get his own tv series. Who wins this battle of wills?

I wish I enjoyed this book more. The premise sounded really fun and there was great chemistry between Cassie and Logan, however there were too many scenes involving up to 8 characters at once carrying on back and forth dialogue, which became very boring and tedious to follow. I lost interest quickly.

Cassie and her friends are on a long planned European vacation. Each friend picked a country they wanted to see. She meets Logan in a Scottish castle where he is filming a prank for his show. Unable to get Cassie’s signature on the necessary waiver Logan starts following Cassie and her friends. Complications follow.

Thank you Netgalley for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review!

After reading this, Logan is one of my new favorite contemporary Scottish brogues 💕 I liked the relationship created between Cassie and Logan and the settings were great, I just felt that the plot and ending were hastily executed, and the secondary characters were confusing and interchangeable. So while I enjoyed the book, it was kinda meh. I think this is going to be a series so I’m excited to see where the author goes from here.

Great read! I wasn't sure if I would like this book when I sat down to read it, but once I gave it a shot, I was quite pleased! The characters were captivating and the plot line was definitely engaging! This is definitely going on my recommendations list. Four stars for sure!

I am a bit undecided about this book. I have not read any books by this author previously. I do like her writing style and plot development. I enjoyed the second half of the book so much more than the first half. That is due to my preference of a romance story. I want the couple to know each other as people, then friends before they have sex and fall in love. I do not care for the “in-lust” and “jump to sex” stories. The first half of the book was the in-lust type, so I was really turned off by that. This is not to say the book was written badly, just not my taste.
After that part of the story was finished and Cassie and Logan got to know each other and discovered that there was more to their relationship than sex, I enjoyed reading the book so much more.
While I think characters of Cassie and Logan were pretty well developed, the other characters were not. They were almost like fillers to the story. I would have liked to have known Cassie’s friends a bit better. They seemed to just be in the story to show that she did not travel alone to Europe. I felt I knew Logan’s mother and sister better and they had a much smaller part to the story than I thought Cassie’s friends had.
This was a light and easy read. I am sure it would be good selection for anyone that enjoys a romance story with a Scot in it (and a bit more sex scenes than I enjoy when I read). In trying to keep my personal feelings of the content of the book, out of my review of the book, and out of my rating of it, I am giving this book 3 stars since it was well written and did keep my interest. I would like to give another of the author’s books a try and not base my opinion on one book.
I was given this book by St. Martin’s Press and want to thank them. I posted a review to share my opinion, to help other readers when selecting this book to read.

A great read from an author I’ve not read before, always great to find new authors, and it delightfully unexpected, as this writers style suits my reading style perfectly !

The characters were engaging and you wanted to know more with each turn of the page, the main characters flitted perfectly and the list none of their individual uniqueness and quirks when they became one !

The story flowed and I easily devoured this from front page to final

I went in to Getting Hot with the Scot expecting a fun, low-angst “What happens in Scotland, stays in Scotland” type girls trip. Cassie and friends are in Edinburgh, enjoying a whisky tasting and castle tour when she gets lost and ends up meeting Logan.

Getting Hot With the Scot definitely lives up to its title. The first half of the book is the most entertaining, with all the attraction and hooking up you expect in an American traveling abroad story. It’s when Cassie and Logan part ways and she takes off for home that the story wobbles. The main conflicts are too easily wiped away, so that new ones have to be created on the way to HEA.

It's a promising start to a series, and I'm intrigued enough with the secondary cast of characters to come back for more.
