Thank you for approving my request for this book. Unfortunately, he last few books from this author have really lost their magic for me, and they don't feel authentic to the time period. I have lost interest in reading anything from this author.

I loved the characters and the storyline development of this book. It was absolutely one of my favorites so far and I can't wait to delve in to the next one that this author writes. The storyline was simple, enjoyable, and entertaining.

This is romantic, entertaining, dramatic, steamy and interesting. Juliana is bold, stubborn, caring and impulsive.. Logan is determined, responsible and strong. When Juliana's father demands that she marry a respectable man before he dies, or lose custody of her niece to a manipulative and cruel man. She'd been betrothed to her neighbor, Fitzwilliam, since they were children, but he was currently living in Scotland and she had no idea when, or if, he was coming back. After a failed engagement to another friend, so decides to go to Scotland and make Fitzwilliam uphold their betrothal agreement and marry her. But she finds that he's now engaged to someone else. Neither of them was prepared to learn that his brother had stolen the letters between them in order to protect his clan. When it comes to light she demands that Logan marry her instead. He tells her that he won't, even though he feels responsible for the dilemma they were all in. Logan does feel bad about his actions, but he had his clan to think about, and he didn't trust his newly found brother to do the right thing. It's an intriguing storyline with a lot of interesting twists to it and I had a hard time putting it down.

It was very good and entertaining. I found the characters to be unique and interesting even if the story line was a bit predictable. I enjoyed the setting too!

Oh my dear God! The book make me laugh from delight from beginning to the end. I loved how entertaining the storyline was and how quickly I fell in love with author's writing style. I must read more if her books for sure!

It was the absolutely gorgeous cover that first attracted me to this novel, I haven't read many regency romances, but Maddison Michaels introduced me to the genre and I have found I really enjoy it, especially if the female characters are strong ones.

Juliana, our main character is definitely a strong female, she's headstrong, gutsy, stubborn and determined, though at times full of self-doubt. Logan, our leading man is also headstrong, stubborn and determined, but he has a soft heart underneath his imposing character.

I really enjoyed this novel, there were a few times I wished the characters would stop jumping to conclusions and just talk to each other, but this is an ongoing issue I have with many novels, at least they worked things out between them eventually.

I really do love a strong, sexy Scotsman and this novel definitely ticked that box for me. With great secondary characters, as well as a very unlikeable character that they have to deal with, this was an enjoyable read, and I'll be looking for more books by this author.

Thanks to NetGalley and Lyrical Press for a digital copy of this novel in return for an honest review.

This was my first Anna Bradley’s book – and I loved it!

There’s so much bantering, and funny moments, and love in this book! Yes, there’s also miscommunication, and some moments when the reader is clutching the book, waiting to see what’s going to happen next, but it just made everything more exciting.

Juliana Bernard is a woman that decides to take her future in her hands, not just for herself, but for her sweet niece, and she hopes her friend, the Duke of Blackmore, might help her. But when she reaches him, she finds out he’s already with someone whom he’s in love with, and she does not want to break apart two people who clearly love each other. Juliana feels like she has no other option, and when he suggests his brother Logan.

Logan is a true Scot, and he’s been keeping Juliana (and her letters) from reaching his brother, for reasons he believed were good, but he starts to understand that maybe that wasn’t his best move. He’s a bit of a brute at the beginning, and it’s not very easy to like him right away. But when we get to see more of him with his family, and clan, it becomes easier to believe he’s a good hero.

When he meets Juliana, a proper English lady, he wants nothing with her, even if she intrigues him. Even though he is a Scot, and the last thing he wants is to marry an English lady, he also has the heart of a gentleman, and so, even though they decide not to marry at the beginning of the book, he starts to get to know her, her strong character, her sweetness, how good she is with everyone, how she has the people in his clan ready to marry her and protect her. Maybe an English lady wouldn’t be such a bad idea, after all…

When they start to be better acquainted with each other, and stop hating – not hating, disliking – one another, things start to change. But, as usual, it couldn’t be this easy to fix everything, right?

Miscommunication and past secrets come up, and threaten the peace that had started to grow between our main characters, and they have to fight to stay together. They have huge trust issues, which is a big part of why they don’t get together sooner.

A romance with angst and very different, flawed characters that end up finding love together.

To Wed a Wild Scot is an enjoyable Scottish romance - it doesn't do anything particularly groundbreaking, but it was pacey, easy to read, and fun for a quick bit of escapism. It's nice to have both hero and heroine be hot-headed and impulsive, as it makes for some entertaining banter, but they both also had kind hearts to uncover, and I enjoyed seeing them move from needling each other to realising they had a lot in common. I also liked that there is a rather disastrous and uncomfortable sex scene before the two of them work out their compatibility - I thought it was nice to see a romance author admit that not every single instance of first sex will be mindblowing for all involved! I really wish NetGalley would allow half stars, as this is probably a 3.5 for me, but I'll round up.

I recieved a free copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Anna Bradley has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I don't even need to read a story synopsis before wanting to read it. To Wed A Wild Scot was no different. Juliana has to marry in order to keep guardianship over her niece Grace so she travels to Scotland to get the Duke to marry her as they have been friends and betrothed since childhood. However, the Duke's brother Logan has been interfering which leads to Juliana to her only option to protect Grace, marry Logan. I loved the relationship between the two characters. While I was missed at Logan for what he did, his reasoning made sense plus it was what set off the entire plot. Logan is protective and sweet. He is even amazing with kids.
But Juliana is really the one that stands out. She is a strong woman who is willing to do whatever it takes to protect everyone she loves even a lamb. She doesn't wait around to be rescued like a damsel in distress. The only part I hate was having to flip to the glossary over and over again for the Gallic translations. Can't wait to read the next book by Anna Bradley.

Lady Juliana Bernard needs to find a husband or lose the guardianship of her beloved niece. She has been betrothed to her childhood friend, the Duke of Blackmore. He is her only hope and she tracks him down to Scotland only to received devastating news: the duke is already engaged.

Juliana met the duke's brother Logan, Laird of Class Kinross at the local tavern as he was burning letters Juliana sent the duke. The only Logan can make amends is to marry Juliana. They are oil and water at first, but once they learn to work together, they find a romance to last a lifetime.

There were parts of this book that I absolutely loved, then there were parts that left me feeling like something was missing. When Fitz and his fiance are in the book, it feels like parts of the book are missing or Fitz had his own book. After I got past that, I loved the story behind Logan and Juliana's romance.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you.

Oh my Laird! I absolutely loved Julianna and Logan's story! I've been waiting to read Julianna's story since she was first introduced in the previous novel! I adored the way she isn't the typical heroine who needs saving and actually to matters into her own hands! Loved, loved, loved this book and need more from this author!

This was a great escape read. The author’s writing is very atmospheric in describing both Scotland and London. I loved the unlikely romance between Julianna and Logan, and cheered them on.
Many thanks to Kensington Books and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

A single lady of birth, beauty, and large fortune should not have this much trouble making a match. Yet after two failed betrothals, Lady Juliana Bernard is in a bind. She must find a husband at once or lose guardianship of her beloved niece. Her childhood friend, the Duke of Blackmore, is her last, best hope. But once she tracks him down in Scotland, she receives startling news: the duke is already engaged. There is one other option. The duke’s scandalous brother, Logan, Laird of Clan Kinross, is to blame for the mix-up. The least he can do is marry her to make amends. Wooing does not go well at first. But just as Juliana begins to welcome the boisterous but tenderhearted Scot into her life (and her bed), secrets come between them once more. And it will take a determined husband indeed to ensure that a marriage begun in haste leads not to heartache . . . but to love.
This was a great story by a great author. I’ve read a number of her books and they don’t disappoint. I really liked both main characters as well as the plot. I recommend.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

I adored the heroine and hero in this book. They were so well-matched and seemed to know just want to do for the people they love, but not how to make themselves happy. Such a great, heartwarming read.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Lady Juliana Bernard is a strong, feisty heroine whose sole motivation for seeking a husband is to save her niece from having to live with the villain, Lord Cowden. This is the reason she finds herself in the Scottish Highlands, looking for her best friend and lifelong fiancé, Fitzwilliam, Duke of Blakemore. When he turns out to be engaged, it falls to his twin brother, Logan Blair, Laird of Clan Kinross, to marry her so she can retain guardianship of her niece. He refuses, despite the fact that he burned Juliana’s letters to Fitz, thus precipitating her long and bumpy journey. Logan’s reason for his actions was to keep Fitz in Scotland so he would retain his land and protect his people who are at risk of being burned out of their homes during the Highland Clearances. The main problem with this story is the ongoing miscommunication (or lack of) between the protagonists. The degree of mistrust, jealousy and misunderstanding is over-the-top and goes on far too long. The relationship between prominent secondary characters Fitz and his fiancée Emilia is also not explained which would have made sense if they were the hero & heroine of the first book in the series. (They’re not.) Overall, this is a basic historical romance with no new ground covered and some steamy sex scenes.

I received a complimentary ARC of this book from Kensington Lyrical through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

Anna Bradley is a go-to author for me. With a single exception, her books have the ability to make me root for the characters, dream and suffer with them, explore their feelings and better recognize mine.

In "To wed a wild Scot" we meet two characters who share a desire to do what they think is best for the people they care for. Logan cares for his clan and Juliana is so selfless that she gave up on a very good match so that her betrothed could marry the woman he had really fallen in love with. Unfortunately, this sacrifice left Juliana without resources when it came to taking after her orphan niece and hopes to save the situation by going back to plan A and marry her childhood friend and once fiancè the Duke of Blackmore, Logan's brother. Unfortunately, this brings her on a collision course with Logan who destroyed Juliana's letters thinking she was a spoiled English noble woman who could have anyone she wanted when his brother had fallen in love with a young Scottish girl instead and was starting to grow ties with the clan Logan had taken after himself until his brother's return.

While fighting their battle for their beloved ones on apparently opposing sides, with the impossible prospect of marrying each other as the only viable solution, these two people start getting to know each other and realizing they have more in common than they could have imagined. Their slow falling in love is wonderfully described by the author's skilled pen and is what I most appreciated in the novel.

While there are references to events that happened in the previous book, this novel can safely be read as a stand-alone. 5 stars for me, and looking forward to the next book.

This is the second book in the Wild Scots series, and it can be read as a standalone (I hadn't read the first book before reading this one and had no difficulty).

Lady Juliana Bernard is in a pickle: she must find a husband to retain custody of her beloved niece or else the little girl will be handed over to a horrible guardian. In her desperation, she reaches out to a childhood friend (Fitzwilliam Vaughan, the Duke of Blackmore) to whom she was betrothed to when she was very young, but when she doesn't hear back from him, she sets out to Scotland to track him down herself. When she arrives, she learns by chance that Fitz hasn't been getting her letters as his twin brother Logan has intercepted and destroyed any communications between Juliana and Fitz in an attempt to do what he felt was best for his clan. Needless to say, Juliana is not amused - she demands that Fitz marry her, but Logan insists that he cannot as his intended is pregnant. Juliana refuses to be deterred and insists that Logan marry her to right the wrong he has perpetrated (he is not keen on this, but Fitz gets involved and insists). Their relationship is pretty rough for obvious reasons, and it isn't helped by some miscommunications that occur (they were a little annoying at times bc just talking about them would have reduced what I feel to be unnecessary angst). But eventually they get there, and there is some serious steamy goodness along the way because their chemistry is definitely palpable. A solid read if you enjoy some angst in your HRs.

I thought that this book was enjoyable. It is a book that is a part of a series and it would be best to read the others, but you are given enough information that it is not necessary.

The main character was arrogant and slightly annoying but you grew to love him just as the heroine did. I liked the heroine because she was determined to find her own solutions and not just wait for a man to give them to her.

I have voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this title given to me via NetGalley. To Wed a Wild Scot is the second book in the Besotted series. I just can’t find the words to describe this book it was just awesome. It was incredible and I’m so excited to see what’s next for this author.

In the time of the Scottish Clearances, Logan Blair is desperate to protect his people. Juliana Bernard only has one person to protect, her niece Grace, but time is running out for Juliana. She needs a husband, now, and heads to Scotland looking for the man who promised to marry her, childhood friend Fitz, now a powerful duke. When she arrives, though, it’s to discover Fitz’s brother Logan has been intercepting and destroying her letters as he tries to cut Fitz’s ties to England.

While I love Juliana - her pluck and determination in difficult circumstances were admirable, and I really liked the way she didn’t let Logan get away with anything - I had difficulty ever viewing Logan as anything more than a lying, manipulative thief. And while he apologised to Fitz for intercepting his letters and admitted feelings of guilt about it, as far as I know Juliana’s still waiting for a sincere apology rather than a self-serving justification. Logan was a rude pig to Juliana despite knowing from the very beginning that he was the one with absolutely no moral high ground to stand on whatsoever. He constantly patronized and infantilized her even though from the moment of their acquaintance he was confronted with hard evidence of just how capable she was.

There’s a really good bit late in the book where Juliana actually has a hard talk with herself - and really loses her temper - just thinking about how Logan refuses to see her as an equal. Yet, when the confrontation comes, she all but wilts, telling him she gave up something precious to her to spare his pain, when the truth was she gave it up because it was the only thing any of the protagonists had that the antagonist wanted, and the only way to get him off their backs and solve their problem. I felt cheated; I wanted Juliana to scream at Logan and him finally to get it through his thick head just how appalling he’d actually been, and then start work to turn himself around. I wanted, if you will, a Hunsford moment, and I never got one.

Though the historical accuracy in this book is as good as you’ll find anywhere, and Juliana is a heroine it’s easy to root for, my anger and frustration with Logan never getting his comeuppance mean I can’t rate this any higher than three stars.
