I’m so glad I gave this series another try. I enjoyed reading this and wanted to pick it up again whenever I had to put it down.

Aden and Miranda had great chemistry. They had fun banter which was one of my favorite things to read. When done well it sets up great sexual tension. And the overall pacing of their relationship was great. Miranda’s evolution from dislike to friendship to love was particularly good. It felt very natural.

There was a villain character who was blackmailing Miranda. This is what pushes Miranda and Aden together. And I hate him. In the way you’re supposed to. He made my skin crawl. I was very anxious about how it could possible be resolved.

I will say, I was confused a few too many times for my liking. I kept re-reading pages, but that didn’t help.

After the first book I was up in the air about reading more, but now I will definitely read the third book. I really want a fourth book/novella about the parents. I need resolution-especially for the mom, Francesca.

Aden MacTaggert and his brothers have to find English brides, or they will lose their inheritance including their home in Scotland.

With one brother happily married, Aden and his eldest brother Coll are left with the daunting prospect of navigating the balls of London's Social season.

Miranda Harris is sister to the man who is to marry Aden's sister Eloise. She catches Aden's eye the first time they meet. She isn't like all the other fluttering maids, she's outspoken and witty. She also has an extreme aversion to anyone who gambles. Rightly so, since her brother has managed to lose so much money, his only way out is for her to marry the man he owes.

The stray dog Aden adopts provides amusement, including convincing folks the female dog is a male.

This is a fun, intriguing romp, with danger, some sizzle and a lot of plotting and planning. If ever two people belong together it's Aden and Miranda.

I have to go back and read the first book to see how Niall, their younger brother, met and married his lady.

I can't wait to read Coll's story!

Once an avid fan of historical romance, I've gotten jaded and find myself more interest in thrilling action adventure in a contemporary setting. This new series by Ms. Enoch however has breathed a breath of fresh air and revitalized my interest in history.
Resentful that the terms of the agreement between their estranged parents require them to present themselves to their mother in London and marry an English bride, the Mac Taggart brothers have set London on it's ear.
Aidan Mac Taggart has successfully managed a low profile to date spending his time outside of the ballrooms and debutantes in London's gaming underbelly. When a command performance to a tea party in his home leads him to show up in his kilt, disheveled from a dog rescue it's not he most auspicious meeting with Miranda Harris, his beloved sister's fiancé's sister. Fortunately for him, she's in dire straits, her brother has gambled beyond his means and now means to have Miranda marry the person who holds his debts in exchange.
Miranda is a resourceful woman. While she hates gambling, she comes to the only expert she knows for help. There starts a romp as Aidan escorts Miranda to the ball rooms of the ton while they work behind the scenes to expose the gentleman who's blackmailing Miranda. This story has so much heart as the aloof Aidan seeks help from his sister, his brothers and even his estranged mother to help his beloved beat the sword that hangs over her head.
I have really enjoyed both the books in this series so far and can't wait to see how the eldest brother gets his comeuppance.

Love the bodice ripper cover....insanely hot. This is one hot Scottish series with sexy Scottish men who are seeking an English Lady according to their Mothers wish. This is Aden’s book, and second of the series, it can be read as a stand alone.

What did I like? Everything....this book was simply fun, and romantic. Aden was perfect from his sexy kilt to his Scottish ways. The Scottish brogue in this book was so spot on it makes you feel like your experiencing a real conversation, ....so sexy. So the mother has pretty much challenged that the three sons will be married before the daughter... so Aden was quite the surprise. At first it seems he fought against marrying a sassenach, but then he meets Miranda and sparks fly.

Would I buy or recommend? YES! This was such a fun book, and this author knows how to spin a tale. I loved it...loved Aden. Can’t wait for the next book. There’s just something about an untamed highlander that scorches the pages. Do not hesitate to buy this... just a great book. A great series.

Thoughts for the author? Just loved this book. Congratulations on your release. You are a talented storyteller, and I love the cover too. Five star book of entertainment!

Scot Under the Covers was a delightful read. This wickedly entertaining read had wonderful characters and a entertaining storyline that kept my attention until the end. Aden and Miranda were great characters with sizzling hot chemistry. I can't wait to read what this talented author writes next.

Scot Under the Covers is an entertaining tale of erroneous first impressions, family loyalty, a sensual attraction against better judgment, and a dastardly villain - oh, and a few kilts too. There were some things that didn’t work for me in the story but overall, it was a fun, light read and a nice second addition to Suzanne Enoch’s The Wild Wicked Highlanders series.

Aden MacTaggert and his brothers have been summoned to London to find brides. An odd agreement between his estranged parents states that Aden and his brothers have to marry English lasses before their only sister can marry (and their only sister is now engaged). Aden recognizes that he will have to make a quick marriage of convenience and hopefully leave his bride behind in London when he returns to Scotland.

Miranda Harris’s brother is engaged to Aden’s sister. While she adores the sister, she abhors Aden - he is a gambler after all and she despises all gamblers. But when she finds herself about to be forced into an engagement with an evil man who has the power to ruin her family (a gambler who holds her brother's gambling vowels totaling almost fifty thousand pounds), it’s Aden she turns to. Who better to outwit a gambler than another gambler?

Aden is intrigued by Miranda. She is so damn proper and yet he senses a streak of rebelliousness underneath her society façade. He agrees to help her - he wants to keep his sister’s fiancé under watch and he wants to spend more time with Miranda. Miranda is surprised by how devoted Aden is to helping her. They end up spending a great deal of time together and Miranda starts to sense that her first impressions of Aden might have been wrong and Aden’s interest in Miranda blossoms:

In the back of his thoughts, teasing at him since their first conversation and growing in volume since their verbal and literal waltz last night, crept the feeling that he’d found his lass. If she genuinely disliked him, he’d turn elsewhere, but beneath the sparring between them, perhaps even because of it, he felt...something. A slow, brewing lightning storm that made the hair lift on his arms and had him anticipating things he couldn’t yet put a name to.

Aden falls for Miranda early on in Scot Under the Covers, and I had a hard time believing this as he was so determined not to fall for an English girl. That said, he is a delightful hero - all manly Scot with much more honor than Miranda could imagine and a wicked sense of humor - “I should’ve worn a bloody kilt...whoever invented trousers needs to be hanged by his nethers”. Miranda took a little while longer for me  to warm to but she eventually won me over with her determination to decide her own fate while trying her best to honor her family. Aden and Miranda are a fun team who, together, end up vanquishing the villain in a clever, enjoyable manner.

There were definitely some points in the book where I had to suspend my disbelief and just enjoy the story. For example, the agreement between the estranged parents was far-fetched and I couldn’t believe that the MacTaggert brothers would allow their sister to marry a man who amassed such huge gambling debts and expected his own sister to pay the price. So, if you have trouble letting a few things go in a story, this might not be for you. But, if you are looking for a light read to warm you up on a cold winter night, then it might fit the bill.

4 stars, but I almost gave up. I’m not sure if I’ve ever read a book where I despised the secondary character so much that it almost ruined the book for me. Mathew, the lily-livered gambling buffoon, decided to gamble too much against what I would call a predator and decided that the only way to save himself from ruin was to offer up his sister in exchange for his debt. WHAT?! Miranda, not willing to go along with this ridiculous scheme, finds someone who knows gambling and a gamblers kind. Someone who might be able to help her find a way out of this mess. Just so happens her brothers future brother-in-law fits the requirement.

Aden is in London due to his lathers demand that he and his brothers must find English women to marry before she’ll allow their younger sister to get married (that may not end up being a bad thing since she’s going to marry the buffoon). He enjoys Miranda’s mind and the fact that she’s willing to speak it. Of course, the fact that she’s beautiful doesn’t hurt either. Aden and Miranda work together to save her from a horrible fate and come to realize that they’re perfect for one another.

I liked Aden and Miranda, however hated the sub plot and cannot fathom why the brothers didn’t ship Matthew off to the Americas and away from their sister after realizing what he did. It’s what kept 5is from a 5 star rating.

What an enjoyable book! I loved this story of Aden and Miranda. Scot Under the Covers is Book 2 of the Wild Wicked Highlanders series. I have not (yet) read Book 1, but there was enough backstory and detail that I didn’t feel I missed anything crucial, and I enjoyed this story so much I have vowed to go back and read Niall’s story and look forward to Coll’s story

Aden MacTaggert is a Highlander who needs to find a bride to save his family’s inheritance. He seems like a rake, a gambler with a reputation with women. Miranda Harris is an outgoing, charming English lady who finds herself in a bit of a jam. In real danger, in fact. And not interested in marrying for any reason but love. They meet because Miranda’s brother Matthew is betrothed to Aden’s little sister Eloise. Miranda has heard of Aden’s reputation and when she meets him she is disdainful. However, once she learns that Matthew has more or less traded her to the vile Robert Vale to settle enormous gambling debts, Aden is the only one Miranda feels she can turn to (he’s a fellow gambler, after all, right?).

And these two are quite a pair. So of course that means they are going to be undeniably drawn to each other, with much humor and heat and a good bit of intrigue and danger. They form an unlikely alliance to use some very ingenious trickery to remove Miranda from the predicament her brother Matthew has gotten her into.

This was a fun story that had me hooked from the start. Thanks to St. Martin’s Press for providing an advance copy via NetGalley. I thoroughly enjoyed Scot Under the Covers and all opinions expressed in their review are my own.

Aden and Miranda are a great pair of partners in defense of Miranda’s right to chose her own husband. A villainous naval officer has entrapped Miranda’s brother, Matthew, and is blackmailing him into supporting a suit to wed Miranda. Aden, who is about to become Matthew’s brother-in-law, can’t let their scheme pass. Aden, who has clearly fallen for Miranda from the beginning, enlists himself in a fight to bring down the villain, and with any luck have her for his own.

I enjoyed Aden and Miranda, and the other McTaggert brothers, whose stories I look forward to reading. Matthew is a pretty weak character, and I only hope that Aden’s sister will bring him up to scratch eventually. The plot moves along nicely, and the London society setting is well described.

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

Scot Under the Covers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
by Suzanne Enoch

I have quite a few books by Ms Enoch but this to me was one of her best.

Miranda Harris a woman of much weight and charm find herself in a conundrum. Her brother has actually gotten himself in such debt that he is going to use his sister to pay off the debt. She must marry a Captain Robert Vale. When she learns this she turns to Aden MacTaggert her future brothers-in-law.

Aiden and his brothers have been called to London to find wives. He has no idea of any of the London culture but finds Miranda intriguing. Aidan learns how threatened Miranda has been and swears to help.

This story shows how evil a person could be and how conniving they could be to take over another human being. Captain Vale at all costs said he would marry Miranda and would own her body and soul.

Miss Enoch has a woven an intriguing story and it’s one that will keep you turning the pages. I would recommend this book highly.

Aden MacTaggert and his brothers have a deadline to find an English bride before his engaged sister's married or his English mother will cut off funding their Scottish Estate. The only woman that has intrigued Aden is the sharp-tongued Miranda who disdains him because of his gambling. When Miranda's brother's gambling binds her in a trap, Miranda goes to Aden for help. Miranda starts to see the elusive Aden in a different way. I received a free copy of this eBook from the publisher. This is my honest and voluntarily given review. Though we are kept in the dark as much as Miranda at times, I really liked Aden's plan. I really like that Miranda was looking for a way out of the trap while protecting her family. There are some steamy scenes but they are not gratuitous. I really enjoyed this read. This is the first book that I have read in the series and it can be enjoyed as a standalone. I plan to add the first book in this series to be TBR pile.

This is a must read for historical romances. I loved the MacTaggert brothers. So far the women they’ve chosen are worthy of a highlander husband.
I didn’t read the previous book(s) in this series but I was immediately drawn into Aden and Miranda’s story. Their story checks all my boxes and I can’t wait for more!! I’m going to go back and read the previous books in the Wild Wicked Highlanders series!
5 stars!

This isn't going according to plan. Aden MacTaggert just wants to go back home he has had enough of the young ladies throwing themselves at him. But him & his brother Coll have no choice but to find wives in England. Aden hasn't found anyone that even interests him until he meets Miranda Harris. She speaks her mind and isn't afraid of him but she needs his help with a problem. Miranda can't believe that she told Aden what is happening in her life but she knows that he is the one that can save her from having to marry someone that she can't stand. Aden knows that he needs to be careful with Miranda as he intends to win her over, but will she allow him to sweep her off her feet? Can they work out a way to get that awful man out of their lives? A good read. I was lucky enough to receive a copy from netgalley and the publishing house in exchange for my honest review.

I received an advanced reader's copy of this novel in return for an honest review.

This is the first full novel I've read by Suzanne Enoch, although I've read her work in the Lady Whistledown books and loved it.

Aden MacTaggert has come down from Scotland to London to find an English wife, albeit reluctantly.
He meets Miranda Harris, the sister of his soon to be brother-in-law, who dislikes him at first meeting - he's a gambler and she hates gamblers. However soon she needs his help to save her own future.

Miranda is a feisty heroine who manages to love her family, be dutiful and still be an interesting woman. I liked that she can give as good as she gets but we still see her vulnerability.

Aden is a thoroughly likeable character - not because he's a saint. But because he doesn't take himself too seriously (most of the time) and while he isn't overbearing, he too gives as good as he gets. The balance between them is perfect.
Now I need to find the first book in this series: I suspect I'm going to love that one too.

Now being totally honest - I have read a few of Ms Enoch’s books and have always enjoyed them but I wanted this ARC ‘cause it had Scottish themes. I am a sucker for those. This one did not disappoint - even though it entirely takes place in London.

Aden is wildly out of place in the strict and staid world of 19th Century London and has no idea of his place in society. And it shows through all of his interactions. He doesn’t need anyone to feel comfortable with him, he is quite content in his own skin. Except - he really, kinda, might want Miss Miranda to want him and for more than a partner and someone to help her out of trouble. Miranda is witty, vivacious and bright and I absolutely loved her. She never was illogical and actually made a plan and realized that she might not be able to solve this on her own. YAY! And instead of making this more complicated she actually went for help.

I really thought this would read as an enemies to lovers and it didn’t - it was more reluctant partners with too much chemistry. It was a nice twist on a trope that I don’t otherwise enjoy. I haven’t read the first in this series (don’t worry it went on my TBR) and I think it might have added some depth but wasn’t necessary to read. Aden and Miranda’s banter was fast and enjoyable and their bedroom antics were hot (yet not graphic). My only issue was Miranda’s brother who might be harmless - but was also irritating and spineless and I felt he never had to deal with the consequences of his own actions. Overall fun read - 3.5/5 stars.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this are completely my own.

4.5 Stars
Miranda Harris is known for her charm, beauty, and is known for her ability to solve even the most difficult with ease. Then her brother Matthew amasses a huge debt to a crafty villain, Captain Vale agrees to waive the debt if he marries Miranda. She will enlist the help of her almost brother in law Aden MacTaggert to save the family honour and herself. Aden & his two brothers have been summoned to London by their estranged mother & given the ultimatum that they each have to find & marry an English lady before their sister marries. Aden knows next to nothing about Britain’s aristocrats, but he knows his way around gamblers and women and Miranda’s dilemma offers him a chance: She will help him navigate London society and he’ll teach her everything about wagering and winning back her freedom.
This is the second in the series & could easily be read on its own, I love the MacTaggert brothers from boot throwing in Mayfair to dressing Rory, they are refreshingly different, Aden is the intelligent, quiet brother who holds his cards close to his chest. Miranda isn’t the normal insipid debutante but very intelligent, proper & charming. Sparks fly each time Aden & Miranda meet, they both make assumptions about each other, which they both soon realise are totally wrong. I loved how their relationship shifted from dislike & insults to attraction, working together to falling in love. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, which was well written & flowed really well. The characters had depth & on the whole were likeable, the villain was believable but I would have liked for him to have suffered more! I look forward to Coll's story
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest and fair review.

I had read the first book in this series early last year and really enjoyed it. It took me a minute to pick back up with who the characters were and what not but I was excited to get back into the series! And while I always enjoy Enoch’s writing and characters’ relationship development, the plot line on this one didn’t hit me right. I was really upset with Matthew’s actions and I didn’t really feel like he got punished at all. I mean I’m sure he was upset, maybe even distraught, but his role in the story was pretty damn awful and Eloise didn’t even pretend to be mad at him for like 5 minutes. So anyways, that piece of the plot made me pretty angry, but other than that I liked the book. I especially liked the ending, I thought it was very forward-thinking and very romantic. Great cast of characters and some entertaining banter between the hero and heroine. I would still recommend it! And I can’t wait for Coll’s novel, which I hope is next!

A white knight to the rescue.
Highlander Aiden is, against his will, looking for an English wife in London. He’d like a wife with a bit of spunk but unfortunately the only woman that seems interesting has taken an instant dislike to him because he likes to wager. Until that is she is forced to turn to him for insight into a gambler’s mind and on getting to know him, decides that he is not at all what she thought him! I enjoyed this book and the interaction between the characters, though I did think the bedroom antics were unnecessary and uncharacteristic of the sensible Miranda.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was such a sweet and sexy story! It was my first book by this author, and I truly enjoyed it!

Miranda Harris is well known for being a beautiful, and dutiful, member of the upper echelons of London. She's always proper, never makes a scene, and is appropriately demure. She's never had much reason to be otherwise. But, when an acquaintance of her older brother Matthew, wins one too many wagers against him, it ends up being HER freedom on the chopping block. Matthew owes an impossible to pay 50,000 pounds to Captain Robert Vale. In exchange for forgiving the debt, the Captain has said he wants to marry Miranda. But, he's truly a dastardly sort, and has no interest in the fact that Miranda doesn't want to marry him. He expects to use her connections and social standing to better his own lot, regardless of her thoughts on the matter. Miranda doesn't know where to turn, until her brother's fiancee's family comes into town, and she sees a possibility for help.

Aden MacTaggart is a Scottish Highlander, and he and his 2 brothers have been summoned to London by their long-absent mother to find and marry English brides. His younger brother Niall was lucky enough to find love right away, and is now married. But Aden, and his older brother Coll, have no interest in any brides, much less Sassenach ones. He feels out of place in England, and wants to go home. He's a great gambler, but it's mostly just a hobby. When he meets his younger sister Eloise's future sister-in-law, Miranda, he's enamored of her, more than he should be. Especially when she makes it immediately clear how she feels about gamblers. But, when she finds out how much trouble her brother has gotten them into, she's got no one she can trust to help her, save Aden. He agrees to help, and falls in love along the way.

Aden and Miranda had a fiery connection from the start, and I loved their push and pull. It was a bit of enemies to friends to lovers here, and it was so much fun! They really came to understand and care for each other, so much more than either of them expected, and it was glorious. I really enjoyed them being a united front, fighting against an outside enemy. There were some complications between them, regarding trust, but mostly they were solid, and were dealing with outside sources of tension, which I enjoyed.

You could really feel the bond between Aden and his brothers too, and I enjoyed their interactions. Also, Aden's strained relationship with his mother was fascinating. She left the boys with their father in Scotland, and returned to London with baby Eloise when she was about 1 year old. They haven't seen either woman since, for about 17 years. And now they're basically here under duress, so they aren't feeling very loving toward their mother at all. I definitely feel like I would've benefited more from reading book 1 first. I assume in that story we got their initial summons, and reunion, and all the feelings that went with that. I'm definitely interested in going back to read that story to get a better feel for the origin of their tenuous connections.

This story was very satisfying, and I loved how ultimately Aden just aided Miranda in saving herself, rather than just swooping in and doing everything for her. It made me, and Miranda, love him even more. She really stood up for what she wanted, and didn't want, for her life, and I admired her a lot. I definitely recommend this story, and I can't wait for Coll's story next! And now Niall's story in book 1 is on top of my TBR pile too!

This was a very entertaining book with a to-die-for hero, a savvy and resourceful heroine, the heroine's stupid brother and a dastardly villain. The plot has probably been done before but I've never seen it done this well. Aden and Miranda are meant for each other. Along with the terrible problem of Miranda being a pawn in the gambling debt of her brother, the book manages witty banter and humorous scenes. This is a standalone book in the series although the first book, ITS GETTING SCOT IN HERE, is just as entertaining.
