This book is amazing and was a really pleasant reading experience.
It's entertaining, fun to read and you're hooked till the last page.
The start is wonderful, so full of humour and so tongue in cheek, it made me love this book since the first pages.
I appreciated the female characters, so strong willed and anti conformist, and I love the evolution of Amelia Rose, the train of thought that made her understand what she really wanted.
I think I could have a new book boyfriend in Niall, another Highlander that could be defined the king of men.
The entire cast of characters is well written and fleshed out, you cannot help rooting for the brothers and the young couple in love.
I loved the romance as much as I liked the family, friendship and growing-up themes.
I look forward to reading the next installment in this series and will surely read other books by Ms Enoch.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for this ARC. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book, all opinions are mine.

Epic Regency/Highlander romance!

It's 1816, and the three MacTaggert brothers discover their mother's ultimatum that requires them to travel to London. She's a true English lady, and her sons are, to her great dismay, far too much like their wild Highland father.

Francesca is a delightful matriarch, formidable but with a huge (but well-hidden) heart of gold. Niall, her youngest son, is determined to follow through on what his heart promises to Amelia-Rose, regardless of who may be disappointed along the way. Amelia-Rose is just feisty and sassy enough to know what she wants, even when she doesn't quite know how to make it happen. This book is filled with delightful characters; all of them fairly leap off the page and into your heart.

There's so much heart and humor throughout the book, not in-your-face comedy but the understated, wry observations about society and finding one's place in - or out - of it. The storyline is gripping, captivating from start to finish, and the HEA is melty-sweet and oh-so-satisfying. The writing is on-point, superbly paced, with a flow that just draws the reader in and makes for a non-stop read. It's everything a romance should be, and one of the best I've ever read that seamlessly combines the Scottish Highlanders with the English aristocracy. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

A fun new Highlander series from Suzanne Enoch. The MacTaggert brothers' entrance was spectacular and getting to know each of them (Coll, Aden, and Niall) as the book progressed was enjoyable. They were not necessarily nice, more often rough and rude, but they love one another and have the best intentions even if they didn't show it to the hated Sassenachs.

Being a series starter, It's Getting Scot in Here is understandably filled with introduction of multiple characters, but it became very obvious quickly that Niall and Amelia are the stars of this particular book even if you don't read the blurb. I like that their attraction grew from proximity and lots of conversations. I like that there is a true societal conflict--which is reflective of the times--that they have to overcome to be together.

With a fascinating background of the cross-cultural clash between English ton and Scottish highlands, this is a great start to the Wild Wicked Highlanders series and I'm looking forward to the next installments.

It's not a surprise that I love historical romance. It's also not a secret that I love my male leads to be Scottish men. And with Suzanne Enoch's It's Getting Scot in Here? It had all of that, and so much more!

First off, let's talk about the title. This is the best title that I have seen in a long time. Not only is it a pun, it promises so much! And paired with this lovely cover? It's definitely getting Scot in here!

I was drawn to the synopsis of It's Getting Scot in Here from the moment a mention of the words wickedly, seductive, and Scottish. And once I began reading the story? I was smitten. It's Getting Scot in Here is about headstrong females and the Scots who love them. It begins with the history of the MacTaggert family, the patriarch's marriage to Lady Aldriss. There is a demise in the marriage, resulting in a split, leaving three boys without a mother and a daughter without a father. But the fact that Lady Aldriss fought for her children? Well, yes, she sort of manipulated them - but that's beside the point. It just means that if you want something, you make it happen. 

But the stars of the story, Niall and Amelia-Rose have won my heart. Friends through common interests, with a slow-burn romance. Amelia-Rose isn't afraid of anything unconventional and she takes the chance to risk her heart. Same goes for Niall, whom I adore. He was brought to London out of loyalty for a home he knew, and stayed for love. I loved the natural progression into their romance. 

I loved eveything about this story! Enoch wrote had the right amount of everything, without one element being overtly extra or over the top.

Also? I cannot wait for the other books! I hope we see Francesca in the other books, and definitely Lady Aldriss.

4.5*
Amelia-Rose Baxter has had 4 offers of marriage but her sharp wit and even sharper tongue has sent them all running. Her parents want a title for her and so they betroth her to Coll MacTaggart, Viscount Glendarril a Highlander barbarian.
Coll, Aden and Niall MacTaggert are summoned to London by their mother. The deal she made with their father 17 years ago has come to term and they must now marry and to English women at that or they will lose the funding for their beloved home Aldriss.
Coll is angry that because of his title he has no choice of who he will marry and he treats Amelia-Rose horribly. Niall steps in to smooth Coll’s path and convince Amelia-Rose that he is a good man and needs time to come to terms with the marriage. Niall continues to fill in for the missing Coll, Amelia-Rose is no dummy and see through Niall’s charade and will use it to suit her. The more time they spend together they’re friendship and attraction grows. With Niall Amelia-Rose can be herself, she does not have to be the prim and proper women her mother demands. Niall sees Amelia-Rose as the lass for him and he will do what he needs to to get her.
Niall has no title and her parents will not accept anyone with out one. Everything is slipping from their grasp, Niall just might be to late.
I love Suzanne Enoch’s writing and her Highlanders are some of the best I’ve read.

I received an ARC in exchange for review though all thoughts are my own. From the moment that I heard about this book, I knew that I wanted it in my hands and would enjoy it because where can a gal can't go wrong reading about Highlanders in Kilts and a young woman who is so much more than some people give her credit for.

This is the first book in the Wild Wicked Highlanders involving three Highland brothers ( Coll, Aden & Niall) who find themselves having to journey to London to marry a woman of their Mother's choosing in order to save their beloved Scottish home Aldriss Park which has been in the MacTaggert family for over two hundred years.

Coll is a jerk from the moment that he meets Amelia because he hopes that she will break off the engagement because he doesn't want any part of it though he knows he has a duty.
Amelia-Rose Baxter is the only daughter of a family that is not of the nobility but is well off. Her mother is eager to marry her off to a gentleman with a title though Amelia has only been out for two seasons and has received several proposals. Amelia-Rose is a smart young woman who finds it hard to hold her tongue, loves being among society, reading, having a good time and is often frustrated with her Mother who demands a lot of her. She's shocked when she learns that an engagement has been agreed to between her parents and Lady Aldriss's eldest son Coll. She hasn't heard very many good things about Highlanders and the thought of having to leave what she's known for the wilds of Scotland is a frightening prospect though she is rather desperate to get out from under the thumb of her overbearing Mother. Amelia has no idea what she's getting herself into but is determined to try to make the best of things. Her first meeting with Coll involves the temperamental Highlander being rather rude and stomping out of a public play when Amelia puts him in his place for being rude. Niall proceeds to step in to save the day so to speak and keeps Amelia from being embarrassed and that's when things really start getting interesting.

Niall has always been the peacemaker of the family. He's the one that people come to with their troubles and has often kept his brothers from getting into too much trouble. He's had his fair share of wild moments, chasing Highland lasses, a few scuffles and is not happy about the edict that his parents have decided on. He realizes though that Amelia didn't have much say in the agreement and finds himself drawn to the woman as he repeatedly tries to cover Coll's butt for being absent. What starts out as trying to keep the peace between Coll and Amelia turns into much more than he had anticipated. Niall finds himself drawn to the blonde-haired woman who is funny, has a sharp tongue, well-spoken, sweet and full of surprises.

When he learns this his brother Coll was a jerk on purpose and trying to get Amelia to break off the engagement by being so harsh, he gives his brother a good wallop. Which was a huge plus in my eyes because Coll needed a sound thrashing for being so petty. I thought it might be rather awkward when it comes out that Niall wants to pursue Amelia but it was rather sweet and his family was fully ready to back him, including his Mom.

Then Niall and Amelia fall for each other and what transpires could be the very thing they were both looking for!

Full of surprises, humor, loyalty and the power of love, I loved this book from beginning to end! Highly recommend!

1785
Angus MacTaggert, Earl of Aldriss was here in London for one reason alone, that is to locate at rich Sassenach heiress to marry. His beloved Aldriss Estate that had been in his family since the English wife killer Henry VIII. This is when relative made a statement that Henry should be able to marry as many women as he desired until he got a the baby son. Of course he did not know the daughter he and headless Queen Anne Boleyn made would reign as Queen for 45 years!

Now his beloved Aldriss Park was now falling apart due to poor harvests, and his clan’s appetite for spirits, bad investments, and wagers. He acquired the title in 1783 he realized this castle was in bad shape and needed finances quickly. He felt the bloody Sassenachs have done enough damage over the years, so they could help him get his castle and finances in order. This was allowing him this one wee favor and privilege. He met the beautiful Francesca Orwell and married her only heir of the Viscount and Viscountess of Hornford. They were extremely wealthy and fell in love and were married. Except his new wife realized she hated Scotland and his wife’s solicitors made sure the money stayed in his wife’s hand which caused many huge fights between the Laird and his Sassenach bitch of a wife! Over the next 13 years she gave him three sons Coll, Aden and Niall. With each delivery of sons she became more unhappy and wanted to bring her sons back to England to educate them and live the English way of life. Angus naturally refused as his sons will live the same life he had lived.

After Francesca had her youngest a baby girl, she was determined no daughter of hers was going to be raised in this uncivilized country! She would never find he a proper husband if she allowed Angus to raise her in Scotland. Angus finally allowed her to take their daughter Eloise. That is, as long as she continued making payments on the estate. Of course he didn’t allow the boys to go, though Francesca had her own set of rules for the lads too. They all must marry and one of the wives must be chosen by their mother. Plus if their daughter married first all funds to the estate would stop!

Angus always thought he could change this since daughter Eloise was a bairn. His sons just felt their selfish mother abandoned them. Then the poison came, his daughter had just announced her engagement. Angus thought by now his sons would of found wives and this would mean no more financial care for his estate and people. This sent Angus to his deathbed and no time for him or his burial . He had to send his sons to London to find wives and quickly! Especially before their sister weds or they will be financially ruined!

Of course the sons were furious! A woman they don’t even remember could do this. They plan to out fox their mother and live their lives they way they always wanted. Unfortunately things don’t always work out the way you plan.

Soon their Sassenach mother picks a young woman whose parents want a title badly. She picks the woman for her eldest son the Viscount Coll or lose their home. The problem is brother Niall is immediately smitten with Amelia-Rose Baxter. Amelia’s family objects so strongly they plan on giving her someone with no money or title! Will the young couple retrieve their happily ever after or go their separate ways? Read and find out!


This is the first book in the new series that readers will absolutely love. It is has all the elements historical romance readers love from start to finish. Plus a phenomenal dialogue, breathtaking setting and magnificent setting. A book I highly recommend and look forward to the next novel in Suzanne Enoch’s delicious new series.

This was a fun start to a new series featuring three Highlander brothers that are forced to find English brides due to a bargain between their Highlander father and British mother who are estranged. Coll, Aden, and Niall Mac Taggert have just found out about this deal that could cost them their Scottish Estate, so they travel to London to meet with their mother and see their sister that they have not seen in over seventeen years.

These men have no use for the dandy English ways and do not want to have to deal with finding a bride or marrying her. The oldest son, Coll has been promised to Lady Amelia-Rose Baxter since her family only really cares about her having a title. But Amelia-Rose is smart, sassy, and outspoken so it often gets her into trouble. And her betrothed does not respond positively to it either.

Youngest brother, Niall is the fixer and peacemaker. He is determined to keep Amelia-Rose and her family happy until he can get control of his brother so as not to endanger their estate. But Niall never planned to actually like the sharp tongued woman with a sense of humor. And the more time he spends with her, the more he realizes he wants her for himself.

But there is the matter of his bull headed brother, her title seeking parents, his scheming mother, and other suitors waiting in the wings. Can a brash, young Highlander somehow convince the English Rose to take a chance on him and his way of life? And if so, what will be the fall out in polite society? Is happiness or status more important?

This the first book I have read by this author. At times I got a bit bogged down with the Scottish brogue language, but I actually really liked the characters. It has a starcrossed lovers, opposites attract theme with them coming from different worlds and expecting different futures. But they had such chemistry and honestly appreciated and accepted the other person in a way they never expected. There were plenty of trials, tribulations, expectations. and dodging scandals. It shows the both the value and challenges regarding acceptance, family ties, attraction, self fulfillment, and compromise.

I loved Niall's charm, protectiveness, and possessiveness. He knew what he wanted even when he was not sure what he was going to do about it or how to fix it. But he was determined to woo and win her. Amelia-Rose was caught between trying to be herself and what was expected of her, but Niall did not need her to change her personality. I also enjoyed their mother, Francesca, who despite her heavy demands really just wanted to have relationships with all of her children.
His brothers especially Coll came off as more broody and boorish, but I am looking forward to seeing who they might end up with. I have a theory about a possible woman for one of them.

NOTE: BLOG, AMAZON, AND SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS WILL GO LIVE ON RELEASE DAY 2/26/19.

It’s Getting Scot in Here is everything I hope for when I read a historical romance. A healthy dose of family drama, scheming, a sassy heroine, and a swoon worthy hero.

Amelia-Rose is a bit of a square peg her parents try jamming into a round hole. She’s bright. She is quick with as snappy comeback. God forbid she’s opinionated and enjoys reading. After living her life constantly being hushed and told to be “proper”, she meets the brother of the seemingly boorish Highlander her parents have engaged her to. Those two have zero chemistry and after a handful of moments are enemies. Then, enter Niall. Oh sweet, sweet Niall. 🔥 Finally, her heart is telling her this is a man that will appreciate her true self. The down side, her shrew of a mother has other plans...

I loved how the story unfolds with the lead characters developing a friendship. The banter between these covers an underlying simmering tension they don’t immediately acknowledge. Toss in laugh out loud sibling antics and a family reunited and this a book I am in love with.

I have long been a fan of Suzanne Enoch’s writing. As this is the first in the series, I imagine it will only get better from here. I am so excited for the coming books highlighting Niall’s brothers Happily Ever After moments sprinkled with Scottish brogue.

Scottish hijinks!

I must say, I enjoyed this immensely. Nothing like the brawny alpha males being dragged into doing something against their will. Backstory--the Sassenach mother of three young sons, Coll, Aden, and Niall fled to London from the wilds of the Highlands for her own good reasons, taking their young sister Eloise. Now comes the tricky part. Upon her marriage Francesca controlled the purse strings (highly unusual). But then her father, the Viscount of Hornford "had more money than Midas and a bevy of very fine solicitors." Part of the agreement when Francesca fled Aldriss Park was that come marriageable age, the boys must marry English women before their sister married else the funds supporting Aldriss Park and Clan Ross would be forfeited.
Francesca has selected a bride for the eldest, Coll MacTaggert, Viscount Glendarril, the epitome of barbarian Scotsman who won't be told. However, when his mother's choice of bride, Amelia-Rose Hyacinth Baxter answers Coll somewhat tartly he storms out--of their very public theater box no less! It appears Coll is looking for an insipid bride whom he can leave to fade into obscurity in London, whilst he stays in the Highlands master of his own life, apart from the obligatory getting an heir visit. Even that had more strings attached!
And this is where things become interesting as the younger MacTaggert brother Niall keeps trying to rescue the situation. Of course he becomes madly attracted to the proposed bride. But what can he do? There's the legal agreement and the tenants and retainers of Aldriss Park all depending on them to 'bring home the bacon', as it t'were.
Couple all this with Amelia-Rose's situation. She has the prune faced mother who bemoans missing out on marrying a title and who sees her daughter as fulfilling these ambitions. Never mind the cost. (Mind you I just finished watching a movie about the Duchess if Devonshire so I was well and truly upset with the double standards for men, and the various ambitions of the ton.) Amelia's dilemma played into my already jaundiced view.
A witty tale with amusing interludes and selected moments of heavy breathing. I so disliked Francesca, but came to quite enjoy her towards the end. She's still a bit of a mystery. And just exactly why does she have so much social power in the drawing rooms of London?
A stand out, stimulating read especially when viewed against so many other Highlander romantic efforts set in this era.
I am oh so looking forward to the future novels in this series!

A NetGalley ARC

FINALLY! I had been struggling to find a book that I actually liked in 2019 and it has been a struggle. Or, it was a struggle until I had the great opportunity to read Suzanne Enoch’s It’s Getting Scot in Here. If the title alone doesn’t get you, the plot definitely will. Niall MacTaggert may very well be my new definition of swoon-worthy because I blushed, I giggled-I was swooning!
Amelia-Rose is stuck. She and her big mouth has landed her in a position where she has barked off every suitor her mother has chosen for her. Her mother insists on her marrying a man with a title, as she should have when she was younger. Her father supports her mother but supports his drinking habit more.
The MacTaggert brothers are also stuck. They barge into London enraged yet encaged in a binding agreement between their father and their absent mother, Francesca, which forces them to marry a woman from London. Even worse: one of them has to marry a woman that their mother has already chosen. Their mother who abandoned them as children and took their youngest sister with her to London while they grew up in Scotland.
Amelia-Rose is chosen by Francesca to be married to Coll, the most brutish of all three, and the eldest who will take on the title. Coll keeps getting into trouble and his younger brother, the dashing peacekeeper Niall (I am still swooning, by the way), steps in for him to court Amelia-Rose and save her from embarrassment from the ton. No one expected them to fall for each other.
I love the bantering between Niall and Amelia-Rose. I love his persistence in making sure that she stays true to her character, not what people tell her to be. I also loved that the brothers were very respectful and supportive of their sister that they did not get the opportunity to see grow up. The brothers were simply a hilarious trio of mischief. It was very entertaining when the three of them were in the same scene. They call each other out yet still humor and maintain a level of respect.
The pacing was great in this book and it is very easy to get caught up in the world that Suzanne Enoch creates. The villains are very clear in this book and still haunt me. The character development, particularly of Niall, is very strong and I cannot praise this book enough!
In conclusion, I am thrilled that this is the first book in the Wild Wicked Highlanders because I simply must have more of these storylines! It has the perfect balance of humor, romance, and conflict. I loved every page and I highly recommend this book to readers of romance, regency romance, and highlander romances.
For those who may be triggered/offended: There was mild foul language, alcohol use, bullying, violence, sibling separation, divorce/parental separation, and parental abandonment.
Please note: an electronic advanced reader copy of the book was generously provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. (Thank you!)

For all us highlander lovers today, 2-26-19, is a very good day. Suzanne Enoch's It's Getting Scot In Here is out and ready to be devoured. It's Getting Scot is book 1 in the new Wild Wicked Highlander's series. We meet 3 brothers and 1 sister so I'm hoping for at least 3 more books.

The story set up is both a little sad and a hoot. You'll see. Angus MacTaggert, Earl Aldriss, needed a rich wife so he headed to London, why not an English lass? England owed Scotland, so it made sense to Angus. Sassenach Francesca is lovely and already engaged. She and Angus fall instantly in love, betrothed ditched, and boom, it's off to Scotland for the newlyweds. 3 sons and 1 daughter later they become estranged and separate. Francesca pulls one over on Angus before she leaves for London and 17 years later it comes back to haunt him. He's a clodpole so it serves him right. Our story begins with 3 brothers forced to travel to London and dance to their mothers tune, which is the wedding march.

We have brothers Coll, Viscount Glendarril, Aden, and Niall, a most unhappy trio. We're going to explore Niall's journey to love. He's the youngest son, just 24 years old. Niall has no title, not a lot of money, and works the estate alongside his father and brothers. Other than being drop-dead gorgeous there's not much in his favor. He's the peacemaker and fixer of the family. All highlander but with a good head on his shoulders. He's resigned to his marriage fate, knowing a fight can't be won. Their father signed a contract with his wife that she could marry off the boys. The contract details are for you to read about. I'm telling you, Francesca is a wily woman.

Amelia-Rose Hyacinth Baxter is one of those debutants who doesn't take. She's smart, she reads books! She doesn't suffer fools gladly and her direct way of speaking has run off most of the bachelors of the ton. She's a lovely girl, golden hair, a typical English rose, but her inability to simper has become a problem. She's now expected to marry Viscount Glendarril but they don't get along (understatement). Niall, the fixer, escorts Amelia-Rose around and sparks fly. There are problems to be solved and obstacles to be surmounted before the happily ever after. Sometimes duty becomes a pleasure. Sometimes love is most unexpected.

I hope Ms Enoch takes on Aden's story next (hint, hint). I'm intriqued. Right now he's a mystery and I love a good mystery. Happy reading.

I voluntary read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Niall MacTaggert is the youngest of three boys and they have to leave their beloved Highland as they have been called to London by their mother to fulfill a bargain she made when they were small, Niall, Coll and Aden have no choice but do what their mother asks or face losing their ancestral home. Coll being the eldest chooses to be the one, but takes a dislike to his mothers choice, and does everything to put Amelia off and its Niall who tries to salvage the relationship and ends up falling for her instead.

Unputdownable

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

What happens when you combine three brothers raised in Scotland and are true highlanders and they are forced into English society? Well it makes for a delightful story that will have to smiling but also wanting to pummel a couple of people!
Raised by their father after their English mother left them over seventeen years ago to return to London, three brothers are forced to travel to see her. You see their father was dependent upon her funds and so he had signed an agreement that all three were to marry English ladies! Ha! That really did not go over well and the mother had no contact with them in all those years. Yep, I really did not like her! She had also taken their sister to live with her. This sets up the series with the oldest brother Coll expected to marry Amelia-Rose, who his mother had chosen for him! But he was having none of it and acted a complete beast to her so his younger brother Niall, the arbiter of the family, stepped in to try to redeem Coll and smooth things over.
But then the adventure begins as the two spend time together they start to have feelings for one another. Of course that sets in motion a humorous and really romantic story at times!
Loved these characters and seeing how they developed and interacted with each other really got to my heart.
I cannot wait to read the rest of this series and see how the rest of the brothers and the sister find their happy ever after! Do not miss this entertaining journey to find love at any cost!

Niall MacTaggert is the gentlest of three sons or would he be the least barbarian of them? That's what we'll find out in It's Getting hot ... ops ... Scot in Here. After learning that their mother had already chosen a young woman for his elder brother, he was willing to accompany his brother to the lady's court, but what they did not expect was that the betrothed would be so intelligent and determined.

Amelia- Rose is a girl with no control of her opinions, always expressing her unconventional thoughts ends up pushing her suitors away, one by one, to the despair of her mother who longs to marry her daughter with a man with a title to be a part of London high society. Amelia, in spite of everything, tries in every way to obey her parents and her orders because she wants to have her own home to take care of, go to the places she wants and have a family to take care of.

When she meets Francesca's eldest son and her suitor, she simply can not control herself and always throws an answer to the rough and prejudiced man, which leaves her with a problem in her hands since he doesn't care for her and her wishes. But Niall likes her so much and her thoughts and attitudes, and courts her in order to help his brother but ends up falling in love with a girl forbidden to him, since her mother only agrees to marry her with a nobleman and he is only the youngest son of a nobleman
He risks every moment to be able to stay close to Amelia in ardent and exciting encounters with stolen kisses, passionate hugs and interesting bargains.

I greatly adored the way Suzanne Enoch conducted their relationship, leading Niall to fight with all his strength to win the confused sweet Amelia for himself. He does everything to prove to his brothers that the girl is worth every probation, every risk and that he truly loves her regardless of the agreement with his mother.


Narrated in the third person, the book begins with a prologue featuring how Niall's parents meet and the reason for the agreement that forces the brothers to marry. I am anxious about the next books and hoping that in the last one will have an epilogue with the whole family together.

I quickly got the lay of the land with Agnus’s three sons. He had taught them well. Anything England had to offer had no value, including their mother, Francesca. But the die had been cast, an agreement made 17 years ago could not be ignored. To do so, their very home in the Highlands would be in peril—a home they loved with everything the MacTaggerts held dear.

In belligerent moods, they enter London, meet their sire and continue acting the ruffians. By their efforts, they hope to goad Francesca into giving up her claim let them return home unwed and happy. They were firm. They would not marry an English lass, who was not but a milksop.

Coll, the older lad and heir to the lairdship was the most demonstrative—he’s a fighter first, thinks second. His head was the first to roll. He would choose when and who he wants to marry, if at all, on his own time. Coll doesn’t want a marriage in the true sense of the word. Marry the woman, leave her in English and trot back to the Highlands. However, Francesca has chosen for him, Amelia-Rose, a woman who has spirit, someone she feels could have a fighting chance with Coll.

Francesca’s parents wanted her to marry a title—they would choose. Hence, she is very much in the same predicament as the Highlanders. Francesca wants to please her parents, but she can’t be other than what she is. She’s an intelligent, quick-witted woman who lives in a society where these traits are ill looked upon, by the English and by her betrothed, Coll. Should she accept her fate?

Not all the brothers are made of the same cloth. Niall, the more sensitive, the negotiator in the family, does his best to keep peace, trying to keep his brothers in line so they retain their Highland property, to placate Francesca as much as he could stomach, and to keep Coll’s betrothal from saying she wants no part of this marriage.

Along with her sharp tongue and speaking her mind, he discovers Amelia is interesting, intriguing, has backbone, and his humorous.

The story plot is sound, the characters are engaging, with some very fun scenes. Of course, I gravitated to Niall. He is the charmer of the group and appears to look out for those he loves.

The dialogue is nicely paced. Francesca and Elinor are English through and through and their vocabulary and mannerism match the London setting. The three lads are completely out of place in London. They are angry and it is apparent in their manner and dialogue. They know it and don’t care. Of course, this makes a good read and I snicker reading many a scene.

Bottom Line: If you like your reads with men and women who know what they want and set out to do it, society be damned, you will enjoy the story. These Highlander lads show promise. They are growing on me as they are for Francesca. But the question remains: Can all three sons find an English wife? And will they find themselves happy?

I loved this book! It's a witty delight that is sure to appeal to fans of Julia Quinn and Eloisa James. Both of the main characters are incredibly well-developed and likeable, as are the secondary characters, particularly Niall's brothers, who will presumably be featured in future books.

I look forward to the next book in the series.

*ARC provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a warm, affectionate, charming, as well as witty, entertaining, and an absolute gem to read. Suzanne Enoch swept me away. This story was captivating from beginning to end. Ms. Enoch writes with a warmth so palpable that her characters sneak their way into your heart and stay for a long time. “It’s Getting Scot In Here” absolutely charmed me.

Nail and Amelia Rose are perfection together. I couldn’t stop smiling as I read their story. Full of witty, funny dialogue, and laugh out loud moments. But what makes a romance story great for me, is that I could feel them fall for each other, feel their protectiveness for one another and even more so, feel the anticipation, the want, the desire that they feel for one another, as well as the strength of their love. Bravo!! What a gem! Bring on the rest of this series. Highly Recommended!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Suzanne Enoch has done it again, a new series that you can't wait to read. The MacTaggert brothers, tried and true Highlanders, travel to London because their Mother, Francesca Oswell-MacTaggert, Countess Aldriss, holds the purse strings. She will continue funding the clan if her three sons, Coll, Arden and Niall marry English wives before their sister, Eloise marries. She is engaged to Mathew. Francesca has picked Amelia-Rose Baxter for Coll's wife. She wants to marry someone who will appreciate and allow her to be herself. Her mother wants her to marry a title. Coll leaves within 5 minutes of meeting her. Niall tries to make amends and cover for his brother as usual. This is Amelia-Rose Baxter's story. Is it her destiny to marry a Highlander she loves or follow the dictates and wishes of her parents/Mother. The author depicts the ins and outs of Amelia's dilemma in an entertaining, suspenseful, heartfelt novel. Happiness or Title, which does she end up with. I recommend this book and can't wait to find out what happens next.

For a romance novel, instalove is always a hard trope to handle. And while our hero and heroine don't fall in love instantly, the whole book takes place in a span of less than a month. So they meet, fall in love, and then marry in the span of about 3 weeks. Not very believable sadly and that took at least a star off of my rating. But on the other hand I really liked the premise of this story. It's different and interesting and I enjoyed reading about the 3 MacTaggert brothers (although I liked Aden and Coll more than I liked the hero Niall, and I'm greatly looking forward to reading their books). But Niall was also quite delicious- a proud man, smart, devious, determined, and so considerate. This book was also a cut above most Historical Romance novels in having a down to earth, smart female protagonist who didn't jump to weird conclusions or mope around (Amelia-Rose really was a delight. It doesn't happen often that I like the heroine better than the hero in a romance book but Amelia-Rose was wonderful and I couldn't help but root for her). And as I already said, the story is unique for historical romance, falling outside the typical setup which is a plus.
So, while It's Getting Scot in Here is not one of Ms. Enoch's best books, it's still very much enjoyable (at least in my opinion). I was all-in with these wacky people and their shenanigans. If I had to complain about something it's that development of emotions progressed too quickly for my taste. But overall it's a sweet story, with the likeable characters (main and secondary) and it makes for a cute and quick read. Recommended.
