Oy. Their poor mother.

Aw, Aden's nice!

I feel bad for Smythe. Boy, Aden can tell a whopper on the spot.

Captain Vale seems fishy, and a bit violent.

Holy crap, Matthew.

Not a falcon, but a wolf.

That's a good trick.

Really, Mrs. Hardy.

Psycho.

Ooh, Coll and Jane, maybe?

You learned the lesson too late, Matthew.

Poor Coll's a sideshow.

Next to her parents?

He is so similar to his mother.

Captain Crazy-Pants needs a one-way ticket to Bedlam.

A very good man, Peter.

Why didn't they go to the police?

This was a great read. The author did a great job with the characters and storyline and will have you reading way past bedtime. Miranda Harris is to be the future sister in law of the MacTaggert brothers brothers and sisters of Matthew Harris who is to marry Eloise the little sister of the three brother. In order to keep their mother funding Aldriss Park whom they have not seen on 17 years since she returned to England they must marry English Brides before their sister marries. With little brother now married that leave Coll and Aden remaining and neither of them wish to marry, that is until Aden meets Miranda who can not stand wagers aka gamblers. They both butt heads and can't seem to tolerate each other that is until Miranda finds out her brother owes a gambling debt to the worst kind of gambler and is informed she is to be handed over in marriage to This file person. For help she turns to to and confides in the only person she feels can help her get out of this mess. As they work together to free her sparks fly of a different kind and Aden may have just found his English bride.

I recommend reading the first book in this series but not necessary. I absolutely enjoyed this book from the first page and is a highly entertaining read. I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

This book was a total delight to read with the good character and storyline development that kept me totally captivated until the very end!

'Scot Under the Covers' was a gripping story filled with tension, humor and wonderfully drawn characters. The villain was particularly heinous and a great balance to the hero who is learning about himself. There were gems in the book with Coll saying he wanted to be around when Aden discovers he is not as bad as he thinks he is and when Aden's mother tells Miranda to buy Aden a saddle. These insights into the depths of family loyalty make for a great read. My need to skip over the graphic sexual descriptions was the only thing that keep this from perfection. I look forward to the Coll story and learning who his 'English' lady will be. I have my suspicions.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Miranda Harris hates gamblers. She has her reasons. When she meets the dangerously handsome highlander Aden MacTaggert she is predisposed to hate him due to his being a gambler. When Miranda's brother gets her in a bind, Aden is the only man she can turn to.

Aden wants nothing to do with the English aristocracy, but he cannot deny his attraction to fiery Miranda. At first he wants to say no to helping her, but soon gives in when he realizes her desperation. There's no way he's going to allow some other man to blackmail her into marrying, because Aden wants Miranda for himself.

Author Suzanne Enoch's SCOT UNDER THE COVERS tops the list of best historical romances of 2020 for me. The plot is engrossing, the characters are fun and relatable, the attention to detail is phenomenal. All of these are key elements in a well-written read. The balance of suspense and heat is just right. SCOT UNDER THE COVERS is a truly engrossing read.

Bumpity, bump, bump! That describes the road to a Happily Ever After for Miranda Harris and Aden MacTaggert in Suzanne Enoch's latest, Scot Under the Covers. This is the second book in her Wild Wicked Highlanders series. This story features the middle MacTaggert son who has been forced out of the Highlands of Scotland along with his two brothers to London. His father signed an agreement that his sons would take English brides in exchange for his wife's continued finacial support of his Highland estate Aldriss Park. Aden's mother left Scotland many years ago since she no longer got along with her husband and prefered the civilization in London. What starts out as doing a favor for Miranda Harris turns out to be that bumpity road to their HEA. This is a fun story. I loved it!

While this is the second book in the series, they can be read as stand alones. Three Scottish brothers much each find an English bride before their younger sister gets married. Middle brother Aden meets his match in fiesta Miranda. Because of her brothers gambling, she has been promised in marriage by a shady, lying, overall bad man! Lucky for her Aden steps in to save the day because he wants her for himself. I won't give any more away but this was a highly enjoyable romance that all fell in to place with romance, steam, laughter, and plotting along the way! can't wait for Coll's romance.

A fast-paced, exciting, suspenseful story that keeps you turning pages. Aden and Miranda keep the story interesting with all their banter and mixed signals.

Miranda Harris is known for her charm, wit, and problem solving abilities. She enjoys her place in society and is good at playing by the rules. She's seen what happens when people don't.... when a gentleman gambles away more than they can spare. Having her uncle leave for America to remake his fortune after loosing everything at the tables.... well, she has reason to dislike gamblers. When her brother gambles away her hand in marriage, she has had enough. There's only one way she can get out of this... she'll have to learn to think like a gambler. She knows just the brain to pick...
Aden MacTaggert doesn't want to be in London- he certainly doesn't want to be looking for some English bride! His mother, the woman that left them in the Highlands seventeen years ago, has decreed that the three MacTaggert brothers must marry before their sister- their newly engaged sister- or she'll cut off the funds that run their clan. Furious as he is, he can't risk that. For the man that's used to planning and plotting his moves in silence, this world is very different and he doesn't know if he'll ever find the lass for him.... until one spits fire at him one day and requests his help the next. He doesn't know what to think of Miranda, but he likes her. She's brave, bold, smart and loyal.... and in way over her head. Together, can they free her from a forced engagement? And can he convince her that he's more than just a gambler- that he's someone she can trust with her heart?
I loved this book! The plot seemed fresh and very interesting, and the writing style had a great flow. This was fast paced and really fun, while still layering some heavy subjects and emotions. I have to admit I am picky about romances- especially historic romances. It feels like every plot or story has been done at least a hundred times, and the only way to keep each one fresh and different is great character development, interesting interactions, and twists in the story. These characters exploded off the pages! I couldn't put the book down- I had to see what they'd to next!
Enoch has a way of creating a world you can't bare to leave. I want more! I am looking for Nial's story, and eagerly awaiting Coll's. These Highlanders are Fierce, strong, loyal... and really hot! I give this book a four.
On the adult content scale, there's some language and violence and a whole lot of sexual content (hey, it's a bodice ripper). Obviously I feel like this is geared toward a much more mature audience. Let's give it an eight.
I was lucky enough to receive an eARC of this book from Netgalley and St. Martin's Press in exchange for an honest review. My thanks!

SCOT UNDER THE COVERS is book two in the series, but you don't need to have read the first one to jump in.

Miranda Harris is a young lady of the ton, in her fifth season, but in no hurry to marry. Her brother, however, has landed himself in unrepayable debt and has bartered Miranda's hand in marriage as repayment. If she refuses, her entire family will be ruined. Aden is a Scottish gambler, in London with his brothers to find English brides, and Miranda's brother is engaged to his little sister. Miranda seeks Aden's insight into the gambler's mind and things... escalate.

I consider myself a pretty savvy reader, but I had no clue how Miranda was going to extricate herself from the clutches of the villain. Even given the apparently hopeless situation, I appreciated how Miranda kept working and maneuvering, searching for a way out. And I appreciated how Aden, even as it was apparent their feelings were mutual, was very concerned about Miranda feeling a sense of obligation for his assistance.

Plotwise, my only concern is that the villain would not be dispatched so easily. He's clearly a sociopath, unconcerned about others, and I feel strongly that he wouldn't just go away, but will be plotting revenge to be served cold.

A very enjoyable book.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley for review.

Aden MacTaggert is the second MacTaggert brother to find love in Wild Wicked Highlanders series. He is in London to find a bride under the orders of his mom. Although he is reluctant about it and doesn't think he will succeed in finding the sassenach of his dreams, circumstances say otherwise. He ends up falling in love with Miranda Harris who is engaged to Aden’s sister. Miranda is in a terrible situation due to her brother Matthew’s gambling away a huge amount of money he doesn’t have to a villain. The villain asks for Miranda’s hand in marriage if Matthew cannot pay what he owes him in money. Aden comes in for the rescue and we have a HEA ending.

I liked Aden and Miranda’s back and forth sarcastic and flirtatious bantering with each other when they first meet. The two of them were likable characters. The plot was interesting, but at times I was getting a bit bored and I wished there was more of a focus on the developing romance between Aden and Miranda. I wanted to see more romance and a bit less focus on the villain. Also, Matthew, the brother who thought he can gamble his sister’s whole life away doesn’t have any consequences about it. He is such a spoiled brat.

I will be reading the first book in the series and I look forward to the next one.

Could not put this book down! I loved the story of Miranda & Aden. From the moment they met, with her looking at him with disdain, I was hooked. The drama with Vane & her brother's gambling debt is spectacular. I highly recommend reading this story, & I can't wait for Coll's story. The lass that snags him is going to have to be special indeed!

I adored the whole story. I loved both main characters from the very beginning.

Miranda Harris was sassy, very intelligent and by sociaty recognized which brought her life in a dangerous situation of debt. Although not on her behalf, she needed to become free again.

Aden McTaggert was somewhat rough highlander with heart in the right place and brilliant mind.

When those two became partners to ploy against Captain Vale and to free Miranda of her situation, they completed one another like match made in heaven.

I loved every second of this entertaining book.

I received an advanced readers copy of Scot Under the Covers by Suzanne Enoch.

I really liked how Aden and Miranda interacted with each other. When Miranda finds herself being blackmailed into marrying someone due to her brother’s gambling debts, she seeks Aden’s help. He agrees to work with her to help free her of the blackmailer. I thought the two were well suited to each other and had good chemistry.

Aden and his brothers share a strong bond and are supportive of one another.
They show this loyalty to those they consider part of their clan as well.

Overall, I enjoyed this story and read late into the night to learn how the villain would get defeated.

Suzanne Enoch is always a great read and this book definitely followed through on the promise of the first book in the series. I really adored the main characters and the villain was deliciously despicable.

This series. The MacTaggert Brothers. The strong female leads. I am in LOVE. Okay, so I may have wanted to smack Miranda for a good portion of the book, but I also understand why she was acting as she was. The banter between Aden and Miranda makes up for it. Aden just does it so well, it's a push and pull in the best way. I was rooting for Aden to win over Miranda from the first time they met. The suspense, the chemistry, and the growth of the characters made me more invested in this story as it went on. We've gotten two brother's stories, and I cannot wait to get the final one in the third book!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

I loved a Scot Under The Covers! It was a fun, somewhat steamy read. I laughed out loud a few times.
Miranda was being forced to marry due to her brothers gambling debt. She looked to another gambler Aden, to help her out of this horrible situation.
I knew Miranda was going to end up with the hero but I still felt such trepidation because the man she was being forced to marry was so awful.
The plot was beautifully written, and had so many twists and turns I truly didn’t know how the h and H were going to win!
This is the second book in the series but can be read alone.
I’m very much looking forward to the third book in the series!

I absolutely loved this book. Aden McTaggaert and his brothers have to marry English ladies before their sister in order to keep the funding for the ancestral home flowing from their mother. Aden meets Miranda Harris, a friend of his sisters and she promptly tells him that she detests gamblers. Her uncle and brother both lost money to gamblers. Aden has been known to place a wager or two in his day and is perplexed by her stand. Miranda soon learns that her brother has wagered and lost a huge sum and that her has promised her hand in marriage in exchange for the debt. She's appalled and promptly tells owner of the debt that she will not marry him. He threatens to go to her parents and ruin her family. With no other choice she turns to Aden for help. Who better than another gambler? In the process of helping Miranda he finds himself in love with her and wants her for himself but not out of gratitude. Will Aden get Miranda out of her troubles and into his heart? I could not put this book down. I highly recommend it.

Scot Under the Covers is the second book in the Wild Wicked Highlanders series by Suzanne Enoch, but each book can be read as a stand alone. It is currently scheduled for release on January 28 2020.

Miranda Harris is known for her charm, wit, and ability to solve any problem she encounters. But when her brother lands neck-deep in gambling debt to a crafty villain and Miranda is subsequently blackmailed into marrying him, she must enlist the help of the devil himself to save the family honor—and herself. 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.

Scot Under the Covers is a wonderful follow up to It's Getting Scot in Here, but I think all fans of historical romance can enjoy even without having read the first in the series. I love that Miranda is confident and capable. She knows the rules and is not out on the hunt for a husband. Aden has much on his mind, but despite being a betting man and hard to fool, has a soft spot for others that might not be getting a fair shake. I loved his softness when it comes to the stray he takes in and the way he is kind to those others tend to ignore or mock. I enjoyed the couple's banter as they went from almost at odds to partners in saving Miranda from an unwanted marriage. Seeing them come to terms with how they felt and being cautious with the other's feelings all while trying to foil Vale lead for a well paced and highly entertaining read.

Scot Under the Covers is a fun and engaging historical romance. Fans of the author and the genre will enjoy it.

A well written, fast paced romance. A underhanded Captain is trying to make a better life for himself. But he didn’t count on a strong willed English women with a tough good looking Highlander on her side.
