One more new-author-to-me discovered today. Well not today, as I preordered this book when I first read the blurb. Even if it is often full of angst what I am not always fond, this enemies to lovers romance was definitively a must-read.

It is incredible how misconceptions and miscommunications can cause pain and heartache. Their inability to trust the other and their choice to listen more to side whisperers than their own spouses were cause to lot of hurt they could have avoided if they gave another time to sort their feelings out.

They try to win game points but each time by their incapacity to communicate and keeping secrets from the other, they have the opposite result, only wounding each other.

I was granted an advance copy by Netgalley and the publisher Kensington Books, I purchased my own copy too. It is my true and unbiased opinion.

Fell in love with Logan and Juliana, two incredibly stubborn souls, too mired in their own pride to understand that the simple words "I Love You" can change everything. The imagery in "To Wed a Wild Scot" is to die for, painting a gorgeous landscape of the highlands, and of two people willing to sacrifice anything for the one they love.
