I have not read the first Wild Wicked Highlanders story, however this did not affect my reading or enjoyment of Scot Under The Covers

I have been reading more historical romance the past couple of years, and a historical romance with a sexy highlander - let me at it

This was a sexy, suspenseful romp through quagmire of love and romance in historical England (in my mind it was set in the Regency era, but I don't know if that is when it was set).

Aden is all swashbuckly, knight in sexy plaid when i comes to Mirancda and her brother in law to be.

Gotta say, the BIL Matthew is not at all really likable with what he does.

Then there is the rake, Vane, blackmailing his way to the top.

Miranda toes the very fine line between love and hate, but really, how could anyone resist that man or that accent.

I adored Aden's family and I will be going back to read the first book in the series, and I am looking forward to the 3rd book to come.

This was an entertaining, well-written book. Miranda Harris is being blackmailed into marrying a villain She turns to her soon to be brother-in-law, Aden MacTaggert, for help. Miranda and Aden were such a refreshing pair, I was quickly caught up in their story and rooting for them. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books by this author.

This is my fair and honest voluntary review, in my own words, for this ARC. Suzanne Enoch writes such very readable books! She employs wit, intrigue, romance, feisty women and braw Scots! Always a pleasure to get stuck into one of her books. Absolutely worth buying this book.

An intriguing historical romance where an English Sassanach is forced to recruit the help of a Scotsman ignorant of the ton to escape the clutches of a conniving villain. Just the right amount of heat and suspense in Enoch’s latest romance.

Scot Under the Covers was my first Suzanne Enoch novel and it won’t be my last. I love historical novels because they whisk you away to another time, when ladies were proper and men proud but perhaps quite different behind closed doors.

Any book that features a hot Scotsman gets my attention, especially one who is cunning, observant and completely self-assured in a place where he’s quite the outsider. Aden MacTaggert has descended on the London ton thanks to the agreement his mother made with his father when he and his two brothers were just wee kids. The agreement is for the 3 men to wed English ladies before their youngest and only sister is to wed. With their dear sister Eloise engaged, Aden is forced to find a wife and is not too keen on the idea nor the fact that his mother is behind the scheme.

Miranda Harris finds herself thrust into her own problems when she learns of her brother’s gambling debt, with the repayment being her own hand in marriage to a slimy, retired Captain, Robert Vale. Not willing to sacrifice herself to this wretched man nor thrust her family into ruin, she reluctantly turns to Aden for help.

I love books that set two people together when both or in this case one of the parties is quite reluctant to have to rely on the other. Miranda’s formed preconceived opinions of Aden from stories she’s heard but still approaches him despite not liking him. Despite her sharp tongue and insults Aden surprisingly agrees to help her find a way out of marrying Vale.

The sparing between the two while they concoct a plan is well done, however I felt that there was quite a lot of repetition in the expression of their hesitant, growing feelings toward the other in their inner monologues when it turned to their own point of view. Instead of reminding the reader again and again what Aden and Miranda where struggling with, I would have liked some of the earlier pages to have delved more into their own character development and pasts, especially Aden’s.

Despite this however I felt like the book had great pacing and development of their relationship given the short time frame of the story. I was intrigued by the suspense aspect of the story and wondered how Miranda would ultimately get out of her predicament.

Enoch did a fantastic job of writing the evil Robert Vale. It was easy to dislike him and want to see his demise. I absolutely loved Aden’s older brother Coll and will definitely be reading his story which I hope is next in the series.

If you love couples with sharp tongues who like to banter and your romantic story mixed with a bit of suspense, this is a great, quick read you’re sure to enjoy.

I thoroughly enjoyed the latest adventure of the MacTaggert brothers in London! This story centers on Aden, the middle brother, known for his emotional and physical elusiveness. I could not put this book down once the villain of the piece made his appearance. I don't recall ever reading about a colder, more calculating and evil person than Robert Vale. He has planned for the long game and I did not know how he would be defeated.

The second book in an entertaining new series by Suzanne Enoch, Scot Under the Covers was delightfully entertaining and kept my attention from beginning to end. I loved the characters, as always, and seeing the second brother in the MacTaggert trio get surprised by love was hilarious. It hits them with such force that they go from frustrated by the Sassenach women to being entranced by them. It happens so quickly that the reader gets whiplash almost as hard as the men themselves, which just makes it all the more real of a reading experience.

Aden MacTaggert has no interest in the lukewarm Sassenach women who just want to discuss the weather and are horrified by his Scottish manner. However, he is used to his lack of interest being one-sided, as the women are always intrigued by him. Except in the case of Miranda Harris, the sister of his soon-to-be brother-in-law, who dislikes him on principle, since he is a well-known gambler. Miranda hates gamblers. But as she gets to know Aden and eventually needs his help to escape the clutches of a less-honorable gambler, she realizes that not all gamblers are equal. After all, she doesn't really know Aden, and his willingness to help her speaks volumes about his character. Their unlikely alliance becomes more friendly, and both must consider their prejudices as they work to save Miranda from danger.

Aden and Miranda were a funny couple - they couldn't stand each other at first, and then Aden became intrigued by Miranda's dislike of him, which inevitably led to them becoming closer as he tried to determine why he was interested so much in someone who wasn't interested in him. Miranda had a lot of preconceived notions of the type of person who gambles, and she made a lot of assumptions about Aden that were just plan wrong. I enjoyed watching their relationship grow as they learned more about each other, and, while Aden figured it out sooner than Miranda, they fell in love. My one pain point in this book was the brother. The brother who is a despicable character, and yet, other than Miranda, no one else seems to care too much.

Here's a spoiler for you: He gambles too deeply and ends up selling his sister to a man to avoid paying him money he doesn't have. That's right, folks. He SOLD his sister. He is also engaged to the hero's sister, so you would think that Aden would be a tad upset by this. But honestly, it was brushed over as no big deal. The brother never apologized, the hero's sister worried about Aden killing her fiance rather than about how her fiance sold his own sister to pay his gambling debts. I don't know about you, but I would not marry a man who would sell his sister. I wouldn't. Really no need to think about it. If it weren't for that, this book would have been 5 stars. But the characters' reactions to the brother's actions didn't seem realistic, and I had a hard time with how everything ended.

I look forward to reading Coll's book! He should be very interesting to read about, and I already have a guess as to who he will be matched with. I hope I am right.

I really loved this book, Enoch is a reliably decent author, and very readable. I love the premise of the trilogy of books about a trio of braw highland brothers, who are blackmailed by their estranged English mother to marry before their younger sister Eloose, or forfeit their inheritance.

Niall has married Amy in the first book. Middle brother, the secretive, charming gambler Aden is the Hero here. He is convinced that he doesn’t want a Sassenach bride, and determined to keep his mother at arms length, as he is still secretly wounded by her leaving him as a child, right down to the saddle she promised him, and then didn’t provide, because she had left Scotland.

Miranda Harris is sister to Michael, who is betrothed to Eloise, Michael has been lured into running up a frighteningly large debt to Captain Robert Vale, who insists that he will have Miranda as his bride, or broadcast the debt to Michaels family. Miranda is being forced into allowing a courtship and then marriage, to give Vale access to society and connections.

Miranda is beautiful, clever, and well respected in society, she has many suitors and friends, but is in no hurry to settle down. She is very wary of gamblers since her uncle has been ruined, and is devastated by Both Michael’s gambling, and his complete capitulation to Vale’s machinations.

Having written Aden off as a reckless gambler, she turns to him for help in how to analyse and outwit Vale.

The banter and connection between Miranda and Aden was beautifully done, and you can totally see why Aden changes his mind very quickly about the prospect of an English bride. He is determined to free her from Vale and then marry her himself. What was lovely was how Enoch played that part of the plot, as he fell more in love with her, he realised he would save her for herself, and let her choose whether she would marry him.

The intimacy between them was also nicely judged, and I loved the touches of humour like the stag on the landing, decorated with random articles of clothing, and the cheeky repartee between the brothers and also Miranda and Aden, and Emily too. I was a bit horrified by Matthews behaviour and wimpish copout - I wonder if/how Ms Enoch will redeem him in subsequent books.
I also want Lady Aldiss to be r conciled with her sons , and was touched by what was revealed about her relationship or lack with Aden.

Highly recommended. Can’t wait for Coll’s story and hope we will get Eloise’s/Lady Aldiss’s too.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and all opinions are my own.

Fantastic Historical Romance read! With lush settings and compelling characters, this is one that readers will be coming back to again and again.

I didn’t realize this was book two in a series but this reads well as a stand-alone. Miranda and Aden come together to help Miranda out of a tough situation but their attraction for each other grows the whole time. With a nasty villain and secondary family characters making the story richer, this is an enjoyable historical romance.

Scot Under the Covers is the second book in the Wild Wicked Highlanders series by Suzanne Enoch. A steamy historical romance that is sure to sweep you away to another time, another place. I loved reading the love story of Miranda and Aden. She’s sharp-tongued and loyal. He’s elusive and charming when he needs to be.  They are complete opposites that share a burning desire for each other. I was pulled in from the beginning reading page after page as they slowly move from acquaintances to friends, and then lovers. Scot Under the Covers is a story with many complex layers that left me wanting more! I can't wait to read the next book in the Wild Wicked Highlanders series!

This was a most enjoyable historical romance! Although it is the second in a series, I had no problem reading it as a stand-alone. I enjoyed these characters so much that I am greatly looking forward to reading more in this series. I am really looking forward to the upcoming third book.

If you like Highlanders, aka men in kilts, you must read this book! Add an extra exclamation point if your jam is brave, bold, close-knit, endearing families. Truly, both Aden and Miranda are excellent characters, and I love it when the hero and heroine are evenly matched, as they are.

One of the things that I particularly enjoyed about this book was that there was little angst or conflict between the main couple, Aden and Miranda. The conflict was external, in the form of a completely wicked villain. There was some excitement and danger as the story unfolded. Yet, it was delicious having a couple that so genuinely liked and loved each other.

Aden MacTaggert has been summoned to London to find a wife. Unless he finds a proper English bride, his mother will stop supporting his beloved Scottish estate.

Miranda Harris is in a pickle. Her brother has gambled away the family fortune and Miranda is being blackmailed into marrying to save her family. She turns to Aden to help her out of her predicament.

Suzanne Enoch delivers another heartfelt historical romance.

This was a fun read! I read it in one sitting. I loved the characters and the plot kept moving. I will definitely read more by this author. I want to know more about the brothers.

I don't read as many historical romances as I used to, but I enjoyed this one and put me in the mood to read more. It's cute and fun; a good choice for a winter weekend. Though I think the brother gets let off the hook a little too easily.

This book reminds us that while it might be fun to read these stories, it couldn't have been very fun to live in the actual time (which is why I can not stand time travel stories that strand women in the past, where are the stories that bring a lady from that time and strand her in the present and watch her blossom with all the freedoms and opportunity she could have).

I enjoyed reading "Scot Under the Covers" by Suzanne Enoch. The book was an easy read and the story was enjoyable. Miranda & Aden's love story was sweet and a bit surprising. There was intrigue & an evil villain. I hope there are more books in the series. I would love to see how Coll (Aden's brother) finds his wife.

Miranda does not like gamblers and she is not afraid of letting her opinion be known. So it's a shame when the only person who can help her out of a sticky situation is a frequent gambler.

Aden has been given an ultimatum: find an English wife or lose his inheritance. When Miranda asks for his help, Aden proposes that in return for his help Miranda must show him how to fit in with society so he can find a wife. Aden quickly falls for the fiery Miranda, but he doubts if she can truly like him when her life and family's honor rests in his hands.

This was an enjoyable read - if you're a fan of Lisa Kleypas, you may enjoy this series. I hadn't read the first book in the series, but I had no trouble following along. The characters are fun, the plot is maddening (in a good way!), and I'm excited for future novels in this series.

My only issue with the book is that there was too much attention given to how much Miranda dislikes gamblers - It really slowed the plot down. I understand that's the main conflict between Aden and Mirdana, but the author established several good reasons why Miranda didn't like gamblers, but then kept explaining the same reasons over and over. I ended up skimming a few times because of this.

4.5-5 Stars! This book was awesome!! I loved it! It’s got everything you could want in a historical romance with hot Scots!! There’s a villain(Captain Robert Vale), a damsel in distress(Miranda Harris), and a hero who doesn’t realize he’s a good guy(Aden MacTaggert)! I do wish Miranda’s brother had been more of a help since she was helping him out! I felt like he got off pretty easily after all that mess! I HIGHLY recommend this book! This is the 2nd book in the series and can be read as a standalone but I’d recommend you read the first book also! Great series so far!! I can’t wait for Col’s book next and I can’t wait to know who the heroine is going to be!!!! Suzanne Enoch is my favorite historical romance author!! She NEVER disappoints!!
*I received this book at no charge from the publisher and I voluntarily left a review.*

I enjoyed the book, I thought it was a nice love story and really liked the heroine. Vale made a good villain, and it was enjoyable to read how the two main characters overcame his villainy and solved their problems. Enoch is delightful when it comes to setting and scene, and I thought that really worked well.

Thanks for the opportunity to read!

Good characters but a fairly predictable storyline. Course of true love never runs smoothly but all ends happily ever after.
