Delightful read....Highlander and London society!!! Let the games begin. It's all a joke until they fall in love. A good romp with a great story and Suzanne Enoch knows how to tell a tale!!

Enjoy!!! Thank you to NetGalley for an advance opcy to review.

I really liked this book.

Why? Because Miranda, while in deep due to her brother's gambling debts, she is out to save herself and solve the troubles due to said brother.
She's smart and crafty.

Aden is a gambler and a player (no thanks). But they strike a deal.
A beneficial one, except for that pesky attraction to each other.

I adored Miranda.
Recommend.

**I received an Arc in exchange for an honest review.**
Although this is the second book in this series, it can be read as a stand-alone. I had not read the first book and I didn’t feel like I was missing something from this story.
Aden is only in England because his mother insists that he and his 2 brothers take English brides before she will allow their sister to marry. They also need the money she’ll provide to save their beloved castle. The mother that abandoned them to return to England many years ago. They have not seen nor heard from her since she left and mom if them are particularly ready to cooperate. Oh Aden plans to find a lass and leave her in England once he weds her. Once his younger brother falls in love, he starts to wonder if there’s something more.
Miranda finds herself in an untenable position. Her brother owes a great deal of money to a ruthless man who has decided she has is to wed him to settle the debt. Add in the infuriatingly attractive Scotsman, who is soon to be her brothers brother in law. He’s sexy and invasive and not at all what she should want.
I loved the back and forth between these two. Aden values Miranda’s intelligence but also desires to protect her. They do not immediately trust one another but they form an uneasy alliance. This book is plenty sexy and fun and is a very easy read. I love a man with a plan and Aden is a couple steps ahead of everyone.
I cannot wait to read the next book.

enoch's wild wicked highlanders series continues with scot under the covers. the scot in question, aden mctaggert is a delightful character. he's strategic and thoughtful and sexy and fun. he appreciates the challenge miranda harris brings into his life.

the villian of this piece is particularly awful, but miranda's brother matthew is kind of a villain too. and while everyone tries to make his actions "better" there's really no excusing his choices or his decision to throw his sister to the wolves, which is what he does in essence.

miranda is just lucky that aden is there to protect her and that the mctaggerts band together in face of adversity.

**scot under the covers will publish on january 28, 2020. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/st. martin's press in exchange for my honest review.

I just adore this series by Suzanne. Three Scottish highlanders who are fish-out-of-water in London at their mother's purse strings blackmailing demand to marry English ladies. This is Aden's story, the gambler who keeps his thoughts to himself. Underneath he's a rescuer and has a soft heart for those who need help. The heroine, Miranda Harris tells Aden the first time she meets him she doesn't like or respect him because he gambles. Little does she realize that's she's going to need his help very soon.

Miranda is the sister of Matthew who is engaged to Aden's little sister Eloise. Miranda's father and uncle have both been taken advantage of gamblers in the past and she hates gamblers and gambling because of that. Aden spends his spare time in this pursuit so she tells him off the first time they meet. Unfortunately her brother Matthew is being blackmailed by gambler Captain Robert Vale into forcing Miranda to marry him to forgive the huge debt. If not Vale will tell their parents and destroy their lives taking everything. Vale is seeking entry and status into London's ton and she his ticket. Miranda is desperate to get out of this and turns to Aden for help trying to get away from Vale. She understands only a gambler can get the best of another gambler. Aden is intrigued by Miranda and is determined to best Vale and cast him out of London so he can't hurt his younger sister or others. Vale shows a history of holding others gambling debts over their heads to advance himself. As they work together Miranda learns Aden isn't who she thought and Aden sees that Miranda is the one woman who will be his equal partner in life. I loved watching how Aden played his game to expose Vale and get the best of him.

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

Historical romances are a bit of a hit or miss for me, and Scot Under the Covers lands somewhere in the middle. The characters are likable enough, at least our hero and heroine. There were some things about the characters' actions that rubbed me the wrong way, some of it falling in with the time period and some not, but they were likable enough. The romance felt a little off to me. It wasn't instalove, but it didn't move organically either. They kind of went back and forth on why they should or shouldn't be together, which wouldn't be a big deal except the result was that the story felt a little choppy to me at times. This is the second book in a series, but it does work as a standalone. In the end, this one had its moments, so it was worth the read.

I received an ARC of this book to read through NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.  Scot Under the Covers is the second book in Suzanne Enoch's engaging The Wild Wicked Highlanders Series.  I do think you should read the first book, It's Getting Scot in Here first as it gives you some insight into the hero Aden MacTaggert's character and I enjoyed it immensely.  Miranda Harris's brother, who is engaged to marry Aden MacTaggert's sister, has foolishly allowed himself to be lured into gambling and accruing a debt that he would not be able to repay in his lifetime. When the villain who owns his debt suggests that he will forgive the debt for Miranda's hand in marriage, Matthew Harris is more than willing to hand her over.  Feeling trapped, she asks Aden for his help because she needs some insight as to how a gambler would think even though she despises gamblers and wants nothing to do with Aden otherwise. Aden realizing that she's handed him an out from the agreement to marry an English bride his mother is holding over him nevertheless is intrigued by Miranda and seeks to help her find an escape from the cage her brother's actions have created. With a seriously hot hero and a strong and independent heroine, this book is one that will keep your reading way past your bedtime.  Medium Steam.  Publishing Date January 28, 2020. #NetGalley #ScotUnderTheCovers #SuzanneEnoch #ScottishRomanceNovel #HistoricalRomanceNovel #bookstagram #StMartinsPress

The first 30% or so of the book was not really all that enjoyable. Miranda was hard to like at first. It seemed completely illogical that she would have such strong dislike of a person she hadn't even met for reasons that were not even that justifiable to begin with. However, Aden is a really delightful hero, and makes you want to continue reading the novel. The villain is...villainous, making the plot interesting. The pacing is also really nice. The only other thing that bothered me was Miranda's brother being so willing to gamble away her life and then not being held accountable in a satisfying manner. I also thought it a bit out of character that the MacTaggert brothers would so easily get over something like that, considering the man was engaged to their sister.
Overall, I had a lot of fun with Scot Under the Covers, laughed and cheered Miranda and Aden on to their HEA. 4 stars.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for providing me a copy of Scot Under the Covers!

I was instantly captivated by this second book in the Wild Wicked Highlanders. Each brother has been tasked with finding a wife before their sister marries, a trope in itself which usually provides delightful problems.

In this story Aden MacTaggert is confronted by Miranda Harris, a woman equipped with brains, beauty, and a sour opinion of any man who takes pleasure in gambling (a pastime which he himself enjoys). Because of a wicked plot against her, Miranda is forced to seek help from MacTaggert and hilarity, adventure, and romance ensues.

I devoured every page of this story wondering how the villain would get his just desserts, and I reveled in the banter between the hero and heroine. Both characters are so witty and charming that it would be hard not to fall in love with their story from the very beginning.

This is a new to me author, and I now look forward to reading many more of her books!

Devilishly handsome Highlander Aden MacTaggert knows next to nothing about the ways of the ton, but he most certainly knows his way around gaming halls and womens’ hearts. Still,

Aden is not sure how he’ll manage to find a Sassenach bride in time to save his family’s inheritance. When his almost sister-in-law Miranda comes to him for assistance, he proposes a partnership: She will help him navigate London society and he’ll teach her everything about wagering…and winning back her freedom. The beautiful, clever lass intrigues Aden—but is she playing her own game, or are the sparks between them real? He is accustomed to risking his pocket. But betting on Miranda’s love is a game he can’t afford to lose.

This is the second book in this series and they just keep getting more delightful. This trio of brothers must all find English Brides or forfeit all money that their mother contributes to the upkeep of their Scottish lands.
I loved both of the first two books in the series and look forward to Coll's story next.
I gave Aden and Miranda's story 4.75 of 5.0 stars.
I received a complimentary ARC of this book to read. This in no way affected my opinion of this book which I read and am voluntarily reviewing.

I haven't read a Suzanne Enoch story in a long time. The good news is that her writing is still top-notch! Scot under the Covers was charming, heart-warming and just plain fun. Take one clever Highlander and mix him with a conventional Sassenach with a secret desire to rebel and you have a terrific mix. Both families added a lot to the mix, plus one very slimy villain. This book was everything I love about historical romance. A must-read.

ARC provided through Netgalley.

Overall I enjoyed this book, that being said I had a hard time getting swept away in the beginning, definitely give it time and it’s well worth the read. The strong family connection is great. The love story is ahhh inspiring.

“Suzanne Enoch is the gold standard on Highlander novels. Scot Under the Covers was absolutely fantastic and I savored every word.”

I truly enjoyed Aden’s story. Can’t wait for Coll!

The publisher and Netgalley provided me with an ARC of this title in exchange fir an honest review.

Miranda has seen firsthand how a disregard for the consequences a game of chance can ruin a family, and she is determined to avoid liaisons with irresponsible men who stake their lives on the turn of a card. But her first glimpse of a bedraggled, muddy, kilted highlander with a stray dog in his arms makes her dream about impossibilities.

Aden is the very thing Miranda avoids- a wagerer. What Miranda doesn't know is that Aden's wagering is based on his statistical expertise and calculation of the odds. He may be a wagerer, but he is neither reckless nor irresponsible. He is immediately drawn to Miranda, despite her prickly reaction to him.

When a nefarious character is determined to get Miranda in his clutches, and blindsides and coerces her brother into abetting his scheme, Miranda turns to Aden for help. Stolen kisses and close quarters turn their business arrangement into something more.

I loved this addition to a favorite historical romance series of mine.

This book can be read as a standalone or as part of the series.

Scot Under the Covers by Suzanne Enoch is book Two in the Wild Wicked Highlanders Series. This is the story of Aden MacTaggert and Miranda Harris. I have read the previous book which added to my enjoyment of this one but this can be a standalone book. Miranda's younger brother Matthew ended up falling victim to Robert Vale who is a very experience gambler. Matthew lost to Vale a large sum of money that he has to pay back but Vale is willing to take Miranda in place of the money. Miranda is a quick problem solver but this one might be her hardest one to fix. But then she thinks to ask Aden for help learning to gamble and to beat Vale at his own game. Aden is a expert gambler who doesn't want to make a living doing that but wants to help his own family by marrying a lady. So Aden agrees to help Miranda if she will help him with his problem of getting around the towns ways to find him someone. But the more time they spend together the more time they find it hard to resist their attraction.
Loved their story.

A wickedly delightful read! I always love a good story about a highlander and Aden doesn't disappoint. It seems that he and Miranda have the deck stacked against them. But through the ups and downs, they get their HEA. I voluntarily read this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Miranda Harris had lots of friends and several marriage proposals because of her charm and how smart she is. Aden MacTaggert has come from Scotland to England with his brothers. It turns out that his sister is getting married and the three MacTaggert brothers are to be married before their sister or lose their family inheritance from their mother. The younger brother has since married so it just leaves the older two. Miranda has taken a dislike to Aden since she found out her likes to wager/gamble. But when she finds out her brother had is giving her to a vulture to cover his gambling debts, she enlists Aden’s aid. I received an advance copy from NetGalley and this is my honest review.

She abhors gambling. He's good at it. She suffers because of it. He saves her with it. But Ms. Enoch's story of Miranda and Aden isn't so much about gambling but the journey of these two characters coming to know each other. This is another very enjoyable story in the Wild Wicked Highlanders series. I recommend it.

I was provided with an advanced readers copy of this book. This review is my own opinion and voluntarily given.

I loved the story of Miranda and Aden! Watching them fall in love, how they both change their outlooks and defeat the villain! The ending was positively poetic justice! I do wish more had happened in regards to Vale and a few more questions were answered. Francesca needs a HEA of her own as well. I'm can't wait to see what happens to Coll! Thank you for the advanced copy of the book, it was a pretty great read!

Scot Under the Covers by Suzanne Enoch
Wild Wicked Highlanders #2

Aden McTaggert is in England with his brothers to save their properties and people in Scotland. Why? Because there mother decreed they had to marry English women before the sister their mother returned to England with becomes a wife. They need the money so...they are in England. Their trip to England and the youngest brother’s finding his English bride was the story found in book. Book two is Aden’s and no doubt Coll will get his story in book three.

Aden is a man who likes to and is adept at gambling. He is nimble fingered and able to read people. He is a man’s man but also attractive to women...and...I found I really liked him. Wily, witty and wonderful is our man Aden.

So, when Miranda Harris, sister to Matthew who will marry the McTaggert sister, finds out her brother has wagered and lost a pile of money and she is to be the pawn that pays his bill...she is not thrilled...especially having met the man who is to be her husband. In fact, Miranda immediately asks Aden for advice – as he is a gambler...a gambler she was rude to the first time they met...and the second time they met, too.

After the two decide to become partners in getting her out of the tangle her brother has created they have the opportunity to spend time together, get to know one another and realize that their first impressions would not withstand proximity and the truth.

What I liked:
* Aden – definitely swoon-worthy
* Miranda – intelligent, strong and a worthy partner for Aden
* The decked out deer and repeated allusion to the cheese made from cats-milk
* The boot-wagering scene near the beginning of the book
* The way that the tangle created by Matthew was undone

What I did not like:
* Smarmy evil Captain Vale – I was not to like him and it was easy to do as I was meant to
* Matthew – think he got off WAY too easy
* The holding back of the story of why Francesca – the mother of the McTaggert progeny – left and why there is so much dislike for her

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Was the book realistic? Not so much but it was fun
Would I read more in this series? Definitely

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC – This is my honest review.

4-5 Stars
