I really liked this historical read. Bridget has plans for her inheritance and doesn’t plan on marrying. Cam is Bridget’s ward and wants her married and out of his way, but what will happen when sparks begin to fly between them. This is a fast-paced read with loads of drama and suspense, I really liked the interaction between the characters and the story held my interest throughout. I liked it.

This is a fun rom-com story featuring our heroine Lady Bridget MacDuff and our hero Donald, the Marquess of Campbell aka Cam. From the beginning of their acquaintance they were huffing and puffing back and forth from each other. Bridget had spirit and determination. She had plans for her future and knew exactly what she wanted to do. She has fire, passion and desire to assist the abused and helpless women of the city. But she was also kind, compassionate, humorous, loving and caring. A dear friend of hers was abused and ultimately died at the hands of her cruel husband. This was her major motivation to set up a house to keep women and their children safe. However, Bridget was opinionated and obstinate. Now that she was Cam's ward, she knew he would do his duty and secure a marriage for her. She never wanted to get married. She did not want to become property of a man to used and abused as he sees fit and get away with it under the law. No, she had her dream to fulfill and that would be enough for her. Cam on the other hand was like minded that he never wanted to marry. That did not stop him from enjoying the company of ladies. He was a rake, a rogue. But he was tender hearted toward his two younger sisters, was active in Parliament introducing bills to assist the unfortunate e.g. veterans and their families who needed assistance after coming home from the war. He was wealthy, titled was part of a loving family, he was intelligent, honest and forthright. But when it came to Bridget, he had to rein himself back from the edge of reason to deal with her. I enjoyed reading about the antics Bridget would go through to thwart Cam from setting up appropriate suitors. It was also interesting to see how often Cam would calm himself to make rational and fair decisions. I found the overall story of the romance between Bridget and Cam entertaining. However, there were a few things that I felt may improve the story. Bridget is from Scotland but has no accent, nor when angry or upset she does not even lapse into a brogue. Which I assume would be the case since she had lived there for several years before meeting Cam. She talks about missing Scotland but nowhere in the story is that desire of hers addressed. Also, when she is given responsibility for a baby, the baby is mentioned once or twice and it is never known what the fate of the babe will be growing up motherless and without family. How will that be dealt with? Another thing that I felt needed to be addressed was the scars mentally, emotionally and physically that Cam carried because of his cruel father. His sister relates to Bridget what he has been through, but why is it never addressed. I would think that in a budding relationship it would eventually come up. I also assumed, and maybe I should not have, that Cam had physical scars. How did he feel about that? Was he ashamed of his body and tried hard to not let it bother him or did it not bother him in the least? How would he explain to Bridget where they came from? I also feel this needed an extended epilogue to tie up some loose ends involving the women's home, the unknown baby and Bridget and Cam's future. When I got to the end, I thought to myself 'is that all there is'? I really did not want the story to end like it did. Oh well. I feel there is room for improvement.

When Cam is called to his estate to retrieve a package, he come face to face with Bridget Macduff, his new ward, His Rebellious Lass. He doesn’t want a ward and doesn’t know how he acquired one. Well, he’ll just get her settled and married off as quick as he can and get back to his own life. Bridget has other ideas. She does not want (or need in her view) a guardian, and she does not want to marry. No matter how determined he is; it does not get better. She wears breeches, rides astride, and can shoot and likes to hunt. What is he to do with her?

This is a lovely romantic comedy with a duty conscience and overly protective Marquess and a feisty and fiercely independent young lady. The story flows along quickly, full of fun, giggles, stolen kisses and a confused hero and heroine. There is also a vile, rather inept, villain who attempts to kidnap Bridget. Throughout the story both Cam andBridget ask one question over and over: Why did Bridget’s father not change his will when Cam’s father (the original guardian) died? Do we learn the answer? His Rebellious Lass is the first book in a new series. Scottish Hearts promises to be an entertaining and delightful series. I really enjoyed this book and happily recommend it. Looking forward to the next story.

Another fabulous story that will have you turning the pages as fast as you can, the characters are likeable and interesting and the chemistry between them is awesome.

I enjoyed this romance. The plot was fun and kept me entertained. Bridget, for the most part was quite likable. She was sassy and knew what she wanted and was determined to get it. Every so often though it felt like a switch was flipped and she turned into a different person. This for me was jarring and off-putting. Cam was likable but not without some issues. I loved that he was supportive of Bridget's plan. However, many of his actions and sentiments were a turn off for me. I did feel compassion for him due to his past though and that let me cut him some slack. In total I did like this book even if I didn't love the characters.

Northen England, 1818 A charming story about two forces, when brought together, can sometimes become unmovable! Such is the case with Cam, the Marquess of Campbell and his newly inherited ward, Lady Bridget McDuff. The first indication is when he came upon her in his home and had no idea who she was but thought "the young lady's face was perfection. High arched brows, creamy skin, a tiny nose and full lips that looked ready for kissing. On second glance, the way they were pursed, maybe not kissing. Who are you?" "I am your ward." She tilted her chin up. "And not happy about it." I'd say that set the stage for them going forward!!
Her father and Cam's were schoolmates who had kept up a correspondence over the years. Unfortunately her father had not named a new guardian when Cam's father had passed away and now the duty fell to him.
Cam won my heart almost immediately when I learned of his childhood and having to take over as head of the family and guardian to his two younger sisters when he was but twenty. He was determined to get her married off as soon as possible so he would not have the "duty of guarding her from hordes of men when they arrived in London. Her auburn hair and crystal blue eyes would stand out at any ton event."
She was determined not to marry and in the will when she turned three and twenty, she would inherit the estate and money. She had plans for those funds to help other women in abusive relationships. He found her intriguing with her mixture of vulnerability and fortitude.
A marvelous story of an unlikely attraction that sparked engaging banter and unexpected feelings that possibly could not be denied! I always look forward to reading anything this author writes and so happy this is the start of a new series, because I know there is more to come!!

This was such an entertaining read! Lady Bridget MacDuff has become the ward of Donald, Marquess of Campbell (Cam), which doesn’t please either of them. Bridget is a determined lady who just wants her in hesitance for a special project. Cam just wants to continue with his life as it is, mainly securing votes for his latest Bill in Parliament. Bridget doesn’t like being told what to do, Cam is used to having his orders obeyed and there is an amusing battle of wills between them. There are a number of events in this story, including a house party, an old enemy to contend with and some passionate moments as Cam and Bridget come to terms with their true feelings. This was a good paced story with plenty of action. I received a copy and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I loved story line of the book, but it did have a few inconsistencies that bothered me. The biggest was Bridget Hated town life and missed/wanted the country life. She hated spending time in the city and complained about that when she met Cam, yet the house for women was going to be located in the middle of the city and no complaints were made about that. I also wished that Bridget was able to have a hand more in the Davenport issue. Cam was great as a hero and only got better throughout the story. Thank you for the advanced copy!

This author is one that will get me away from my suspense or paranormal to step back in time with a delicious tale. in this one we are give the beginning in a series with Bridget and Cam to give us a story that will keep us riveted to them both. Both are stubborn also which is good entertainment in reading with their own agenda. Half the fun is seeing whom get what but really whom gets whom. The drama of the day is most of the fun of reading with the chemistry that slowly takes over. Having humor also in all the right places I found myself just gobbling this one up.

When the Marquis of Campbell is called to his northern estate the last thing he thought he’d been summoned for was a ward - a fiery, red-headed Scottish beauty. Solution marry her off quickly afterall she's well dowered & also attractive so the London bucks will be falling over themselves to wed Lady Bridget MacDuff.
However Lady Bridget has plans for that fortune and they involve helping unfortunate women. She has no plans to marry.
Bridget and Cam are now on opposite sides of a war that neither one plans to lose. Even if Cam’s rakish presence throws Bridget’s heart into turmoil and the marquis can’t deny that his ward sets his heart afire.
A fun entertaining read that held my interest from start to finish, well written with very likeable characters. Cam & Bridget were attracted to each other but both determined not to marry so fought their feelings & each other at every meeting. I loved the way they danced around each other & both had certainly met their match. There were misunderstandings along the way which as times threatened to derail their budding romance but which all added to my enjoyment of this captivating read
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Very well written and captivating! The chemistry between Cam and Bridget is palpable from the beginning and their interactions only get hotter. Just when you think you know where the story is going it takes a turn, followed by another twist and another. A romance that will keep you entertained and intrigued to the end.

I liked this story and even though I like slow burn romances this one was a little too slow for me. That being said, it is a nice story of Cam and Bridget. I did not feel that Cam was rakish (it was never shown) but just a guy who did not want to become his father (like we see in lots of stories) so he keeps saying he never wants to marry. I thought Bridget’s cause was honorable and would have liked the storyline to have delved more into that aspect of the story. Overall, a sweet read.

I did not want this book to be over! I wanted to read more of their story. It was humorous and had me laughing out loud numerous times. I love a female with spunk during a time when it wasn’t acceptable. Thank God for those courageous women who molded history. Enjoyable and easy to read and steaming passion. Book gifted to me.

Donald, the Marquess of Cambell, or Cam to his friends and family and lovers (he's a rake with lovers and mistresses, as in many). Just inherited a ward. Whom he immediately wants to marry off to someone else. He has no plans to marry (a bad father).

Bridget is none too happy with being a ward and her father's will. She will inherit a fortune if she makes it to 23 without marrying. She has plans for that money (to help unfortunate women).

So these two are obviously at odds. Neither wants to marry.
I'm thinking that is so gonna change, because they have sparks.
Recommend.

Put together two people who are determined to never marry and you come up with a totally delightful story. Cam returns to his country estate to find Bridget, a beautiful young woman, who tells Cam he is her guardian. From this point on and throughout the rest of the story, Cam is repeatedly shocked and surprised.

This was an easy read for me as the story flowed smoothly from scene to scene. I found the dialogue especially delightful and I fell in love with both Cam and Bridget. I really enjoyed this book

His Rebellious Lass is book one in Callie Hutton’s Scottish Hearts series. I adored this book. It has some truly wonderful moments. I found myself laughing out loud all through it. Lady Bridget MacDuff is a fiery Scottish lass who must marry in order to access her inheritance or wait two years to obtain it. The Marquess of Campbell is horrified to discover that he has been made legal guardian to Bridget. Over the weeks they spend together, he finds himself attracted to her. But both have vowed to never marry. I loved the bickering humorous banter between the two of them. Hutton has outdone herself with this story. I was gifted a copy of the book.

His Rebellious Lass by Callie Hutton is an enjoyable historical romance. Bridget is a likable character with spunk. She hates the rules of women and that women are the property of their husbands. One of her best friends suffered at the hands of her husband and Bridget has dreams of making an impact for women. Her antics to get out of the events were funny.

Cam is hilarious. I enjoyed him from the beginning. He wants to marry off the Scottish red head so he can go back to his normal life. His life will never be the same. We may have expected them to end up together but Callie throws in a few curve balls to get them there.

Sexual content 3.5 one physical scene with details.
Violence – 1 a kidnapping, husband abusing his wife
Language 1
Drinking –2 Bridget likes whiskey, there are several scenes with casual drinking but only the bad guys are drunk

He wants to marry her off quickly. She says absolutely not.

When the Marquess of Campbell inherits a fiery, red-headed Scottish beauty as his ward, it’s his job to marry her off. No problem.
This Callie Hutton book is all I have come to expect from this author.
There is a bit of intriguing story and unexpected love.
This book gets 4 of 5 stars for storyline and characterization.

As always I look forward to more from this author.
I received a complimentary digital copy of this book to read. This in no way affected my opinion of this title which I read and reviewed voluntarily.

Bridget, the heroine, is determined to make the world a better place by helping one abused woman at a time. In fact, her selfless dream of running a home to do just that had me loving her character from the get go. She had spunk, feistiness, and wasn’t about to let anything stand in her way, including the unexpected glitch in her deceased daddy’s will. She finds herself dumped onto the doorstep of a handsome, never plans to marry, rake reputation guardian. Unfortunately for her, his job is to find her a husband. With a “what’s good for the gander is good for the goose” undertone, Bridget hopes to derail that plan long enough to escape the marital hangman’s noose until she is old enough not to have to answer to anyone.

After a lot of expected back and forth bickering/banter, Cam, of course, eventually starts to fall for Bridget and vice versa. That is always my favorite part, folks. I love the push and pull of fighting attraction between meant to be together lovebirds.

If you are looking for a rich, reluctant, gorgeous guardian who falls for his almost old enough to be completely on her own ward but fights it until nearly the end, you might want to check into this romantic read. Just expect to see only proper English manners and dialect, and not Scottish brogue. I really didn’t sense much of a Scottish vibe at all. Upfront, we are told why Bridget actually doesn’t come across overly Scottish.

I mostly stayed in tune with this tale, but there were parts, especially after midway, that started to ramble so I found myself skimming until things picked back up. I’m still scratching my head over Bridget putting herself in a dangerous situation with a suspected murderer. It kind of felt like she answered the door and let him in despite seeing him in a scary hockey mask and yielding a large, bloody knife. Of course, that is not how it played out, but it showed a complete lack of common sense that astounded me.

I would not have found it amiss, however, if she had inflicted bodily harm on Cam for the rash, hurtful accusations and conclusion he jumped to when they were first intimate. That also was unexpected. At least it resulted in groveling and regret.

I haven’t a clue who the main couple will be in book 2. Here’s to hoping this review has been helpful in some way so you can decide if this book is a good fit for you.

Title: His Rebellious Lass, Scottish Hearts (Book 1), Author: Callie Hutton, Pages: 280, stand-alone but part of a series, determined to help abused women, steamy scenes late in the book, back and forth bickering/banter, both reluctant to marry, virgin heroine, former rake reputation hero., references to spousal abuse.

A delightful and funny story with a fiery Scottish Lass. Bridgid has the temper to match her fiery red hair. She is determined to chart her own course. Cam is not amused at gaining a ward. He is used to all his commands being obeyed. This series has been very well written. The characters have been crafted well and the plots solidly designed. The couples have all been great citizens fighting to change society for the better. It has been done with with some drama and some fun. Cam was always my favorite character because of all he suffered as a child and it was great to see him get a beautiful happy ending.
