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.

A Scottish rogue and his brothers reluctantly come to London. To obtain their inheritance from their English mother, they must marry an English lady. . None of them want to comply, When Aden is approached by his future sister-in-law for help, he can't refuse. Knowing Aden is an excellent gambler is just what Miranda needs to stop a blackmailer. A wink and a kiss and Aden has a plan to save Miranda and if he happens to fall in love and get the girl, that's okay, too. A fun book to read, full of charm and humor. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

How have I never heard of this author before?! This was amazing!! The heroine was strong, intelligent, calm and graceful under pressure, independent, and sassy. The hero was strong, respectful, sassy, has a great sense of humour, and is intelligent. Together they battled their foe, who was more despicable than I could have imagined, and they ended up doing more than they ever could have dreamed. I was hooked from the first and I just couldn’t put it down. I finished it in a day haha. Now I’m going to have to go find the rest of her stuff so I can read it all.

4 Stars!

Suzanne Enoch is a new-to-me-author and I haven't read the first book in Wild Wicked Highlanders, but it was easy enough to jump in with Scot Under the Covers.

An enemies to lovers romance between a gambling Highlander hell-bent on avoiding marriage to a wilting English miss, and a woman who isn't at all intimidated by his roguish demeanor. It took me a little while to get into this one, but once the plot got rolling (Miranda's hand in marriage has been traded to forgive a gambling debt) I was invested! At first I wasn't sold on Miranda's attitude toward Aden but by the end of the book I thought Miranda was a badass and handled herself well.

The plot was compelling and the villain was perfection - very sinister and mysterious. The choice to basically forgive Miranda's brother was interesting and one I struggled with especially considering he was engaged to Aden's sister. I wouldn't trust him at all.

Miranda's proposal at the end was the icing on the cake!

Scot Under the Covers is the second book in The Wild Wicked Highlanders series. The second of three sexy Scottish brothers, Aden MacTaggert is a gambler and rake. If there is one thing Miranda Harris cannot stand it is a gambler. Her family has been burned more than once with gambling. When her brother lands in deep trouble and a forced marriage seems her imminent future, Miranda seeks out the sexy Scot for his expertise. Aden cannot resist the sass that is Miranda and goes to great length to try and rescue a lass in trouble. A spunky heroine, a sexy highlander, and a vile villain make for a fast paced, entertaining joy ride that will leave you swooning for the big Scottish hero. Another great read by Suzanne Enoch was has a knack for making a girl's knees weak with a big Scottish stud. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from Netgalley.

I eagerly awaited every chance I could to read this book, especially once the groundwork was laid and the intrigue began to gain some steam. Spoilers will abound, so bail out now if you want.
Spoiler-free TL;DR: Solid 4 star tale about two people coming together as partners to solve a MAJOR problem. Swoony hero, sharp, level-headed heroine, and heartfelt moments. One star removed because it doesn’t seem like others took the problem as seriously as they should have.


**************************************************************************************************************************************************************
The three McTaggert brothers are still in London to fulfill the bargain that their parents made seventeen years prior when their mother left the Highlands: marry English women before their younger sister weds. Their sister Eloise is engaged, so time is running short. Having seen his younger brother Niall get married to the Englishwoman his mother chose (for their older brother), middle brother Aden questions whether or not he will find an Englishwoman interesting enough to marry. He meets his sister’s soon-to-be Sister-in-law and while he finds that she’ pretty and plain spoken, a previously unseen combination, she hates him without having met him. Miranda Harris has no love for gamblers, and Aden gambles often and well. Miranda has her (very good) reasons for despising gamblers due to some bleak family history that has affected her, and lets Aden know that she has taken his measure and found him lacking before they’ve been properly introduced.

When Miranda finds out that her brother Matthew, Eloise McTaggert’s fiance, has been gaming again, she’s disappointed. He’s lost to the point of selling his favorite horse to pay his debts once. Disappointment turns to fury when she learns that her brother SOLD HER IN MARRIAGE to pay off his insurmountable debts to an unscrupulous Navy retiree looking to gain entree into the upper crust by forcing an advantageous marriage. Feeling like she needs the insight of someone with a similar mindset as her brother’s blackmailer, Miranda turns to Aden.

From there the story paces between Aden gathering information and determining how to out maneuver his opponent and Miranda having to be at odds with the scoundrel. Aden and Miranda meet secretly to discuss the problem discreetly and soon find that they like one another more than they initially realized, much to Miranda’s dismay. She starts seeing Aden and his hobby in a less black-and-white view and begins to look at the rules that hem her in and how they haven’t kept her safe like society claims. Now she has someone looking to break the rules to keep her safe.

As it all comes to a boil, you’re constantly left questioning how Aden plans to win against a man that he claims he cannot beat at the tables…

The thing that knocked the star off: No one took the fact that Matthew Harris offered up HIS SISTER IN MARRIAGE to pay his debts seriously. No offers of work or selling assets, he doesn’t tell his parents because he ‘doesn’t want to disappoint them again,’ he doesn’t want HIS GAMBLING DEBTS to interrupt his impending nuptials to Eloise. He washes his hands of it by telling Miranda that she has to shoulder marrying this awful man and that’s that. Eloise, who I genuinely liked up until this point, doesn’t care about this AT ALL. She doesn’t get upset that offering up others to solve his problems is her fiance’s answer, she only CRIES THAT HER BROTHERS ARE GOING TO BEAT HIM TO DEATH FOR IT. Even their mother admits that he deserves a sound thrashing, but no one considers this to be a flaw in Matthew’s character and has second thoughts about whether Eloise should WANT to marry him anymore. The brothers mention this privately, but no one takes this thought process and actually holds him accountable. Matthew’s parents simply have him resign all of his gentleman's club memberships so that he can’t gamble anywhere respectable. Mathew is clearly an addict; when the urge hits him to gamble again as it did before, he will find a means and an excuse to do so again. Either this book set Eloise up for a marriage where a big enough misstep on Matthew’s part could land her destitute or worse, or she’s going to get her own novel and end up breaking the engagement. That path doesn’t bode well either.

All toll, a great book. I wish that the very real consequences of Matthew’s problem and behavior had been handled with the seriousness it deserved, but the relationship between Aden and Miranda is wonderful, seeing Francesca slowly figure out her sons and learning her side of why she left is gratifying, and I can’t wait to read Coll’s story.

I do wish we’d gotten one last scene with Aden’s dog though...

Scot Under the Covers is a true delight! It’s fast-paced and fun with characters who are easy to adore and a romance that will leave you smiling.

Aden is known as the “elusive MacTaggert brother.” He’s got a quick mind and skilled fingers that serve him well both in the cardroom and the bedroom, and he’s not unwilling to let the English’s dim views of Scotsmen work to his advantage. His mother’s decree that he marry an Englishwoman suddenly becomes a very appealing prospect when he meets Miranda Harris. Miranda’s brother is engaged to Aden’s sister, but that’s not why the beautiful lass seeks him out. Her brother has gotten into a massive debt he cannot repay and the villain is demanding Miranda’s hand in marriage as payment. To outwit a gambler Miranda needs the help of one. It’s not just her plight but her fiery spirit that captures Aden’s interest. When the two join forces the banter flies and the pages of Scot Under the Covers fairly crackle with energy.

Aden and Miranda are both incredibly easy to like. They’ve got good hearts, quick wits, and spines of steel. They’re a perfect match in every way, but with the proverbial noose quickly tightening around Miranda’s neck, the two of them have to work fast to free her. Miranda enjoys maneuvering through society and knows how to play the game, but it’s fun to watch her start to break the rules with Aden. I’ve said it before but it bears repeating that Aden and Miranda are simply a lot of fun together. Though Aden knows she’s the one for him pretty quickly, Miranda’s unwilling attraction develops into love as she learns Aden is a man she can trust and rely on. I’ve read the book twice now and both times I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every step of their journey.

Romance, passion, and a very crafty villain make the pages of Scot Under the Covers fly by. Aden and Miranda are at the heart of the story, but their families play strong supporting roles and bring warmth and humor to the tale. Aden’s mother is particularly fascinating as she continues to try to regain her sons’ trust and affection. And surprisingly (because I didn’t like him very much in the first Wild Wicked Highlanders book), I’m very much looking forward to Coll MacTaggert’s book. I cannot wait to see what Suzanne Enoch has in store for the brash and bold MacTaggert brother. Until then, I’m happy to revisit both It’s Getting Scot in Here and Scot Under the Covers. Both are vibrant, charming romantic romps full of heart.
