This was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the give and take between the hero and heroine. The heroine's brother though? He was a problem and I don't think he was given the comeuppance he deserved.

"Scot Under the Covers” beginning was definitely touch and go and I was damned near tempted to drop this but the Book Gods above decided to answer my prayers by gracing me the perseverance to claim a few more pages then wa-lah! Matthew true intentions and dealings came to light which help lead and created the phenomenal partnership between Aden and Miranda. I immediately fell in love with their banterful relationship filled with stolen kisses, steamy moments, and badassery of our fine ass highlander. This was perfect swoon worthy historical romance I’ve been looking for a while.

Aden's mom had left their father but before she left she made him sign an agreement that her three boys had to marry before their youngest sister and they had to be English. So here they were. The English always brought an absurd amount of luggage, so they brought Rory, a red deer, as part of a huge amount of luggage. Both Aden and Coll had taken off their shoes to settle a bet. So there they were walking around in Mayfair with a bucket in the street, pitching their shoes at the bucket and being barefoot. The two eldest had not found anything they wanted since they had come down five weeks ago. Their dad had decided to perish from the shock of learning his youngest is engaged to be married.. Or he was afraid of his wife. Miranda Harris was the sister to the man Eloise was going to marry. Aden liked her straight-talking and not speaking on boring subjects as most English girls did.
Matthew, Miranda's brother had gambled which he was not supposed to do and got in so deep that he sold his sister to this awful man. Captain Robert Vale Resemble a bird of prey prominent brow, narrow, thin-lipped mouth, and long straight down angled nose.
There are a lot of twists in this story of a broken family and a mother who has been absent for seventeen years. I really loved the tale and the teasing, laughing and loving. His mother wants her sons to forgive her but they are having a hard time with it and having to marry. Not a good thing. The characters are funny, teasing, kind and eventually loving It does get a little sexy. so it should be for older folks but is still a good read. It is entertaining, scary, and three dominating Highlander's thrown into the mix. I highly recommend this novel.
I received this ARC from Net Galley and voluntarily reviewed it.

Miranda dislikes Aden before she has ever set eyes on him and wastes no time letting him when they first meet. Imagine her dismay when she discovers that she needs his help. Imagine his dismay when she is the only woman in England he cannot stop thinking about.

How on earth was this my first book by Suzanne Enoch? All I can do is promise it won't be the last. It is an easy promise to make because I cannot wait to read the other books in this series. I tore through this book, reading even when I could barely keep my eyes open. Miranda and Aden are charming together. I enjoyed the premise and the clever way Aden goes about aiding Miranda when she is basically sold by her brother to cover up his own errors. My utter loathing for her brother and the way he conducts himself made me have a difficult time for the way he never suitably punished, in my opinion.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review..

Book two of the MacTaggert brothers finds the stealthy middle brother Aden at odds end. The three brothers are forced to wed an English bride before their youngest sister or they and all the people under their care will be penniless. Aden fears that he’ll never find an English woman that will love him like his younger brother did, but he soon meets Miranda a proper English lady who has no time for Aden’s charm or gambling ways. Unfortunately Miranda needs Aden’s skills to help her from being forced to marry a vulture. Along the way they both find the good in each other and soon Aden knows he’s found the one. This book has a bit of intrigue, lots of humor and a nice sweet romance. It’s a great historical romance with strong leads and wonderful supporting characters. I can’t wait for Coll’s story. 5 stars. I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher for my honest review.

As soon as I saw this book was coming out I was intrigued, but I didn't want to start in book two of the series. I had never read a Suzanne Enoch book before so I through caution to the wind, and downloaded book one. That was Wednesday night. Needless to say, I finished book one on Thursday night....holy cow I was so drawn in, I immediately open book two. Stayed up all night and finished it! WORTH IT!!!!

In book one, It's getting Scot in Here, we were introduced to 3 hard headed, loyal, and loving (each in their own way) highlanders. Niall was the star of book one, but his brothers were not to be outshone. Book two, takes us through Aden, the middle brother's journey to meet his mother Francesca's requirement of he and his brothers to all marry English women before their sister gets married.

Aden is the most secretive of all the brothers. Naill is the peace keeper, Coll the hot headed leader, and then there is the middle child Aden. I didn't quite know what to expect from him after his introduction in book one. He could have gone many ways, but I am darn glad that his path was an interesting one. Aden is the gambler, he has a cunning mind and can read people easily. That is until he meets Matthew (his sister Eloise's betrothed) sister Miranda. You know what happens when you put gasoline on a fire....you get an explosion. That was Aden and Miranda. Aden was the gasoline and Miranda the fire....it just took putting them together to get that explosion. However, there is a dastardly man just waiting upend both Matthew and Miranda's world. Oohhh he is an evil one, it's rare that I truly hate a character but I truly hated Robert Vale. He was despicable, had no redeeming qualities and was just all around evil incarnate. I truly wished all kinds of bad stuff on him throughout the book.

The characters as you can see, drew me in, but it was the story that kept me up all night. I just couldn't go to bed without knowing if everything would get resolved, and what the outcome would be. I am not going to spoil that for anyone, just know this. I loved the plot as much as loved the characters!

I am super stingy when it comes to five stars. I need to have two strong main characters, a good plot, a story that I can reasonably believe to be real, and some steam. This book had it all. All the characters are strong, the plot kept up all night, and the steam was there. Aden is one hot highlander. So, do I recommend...DUH, YES!!! Will I keep reading? Oh, I can't wait to watch Coll fall when he meets his match (I kinda hope it's Jane). What are you waiting for romance lovers? Pick up this series today and fall in love with a highlander!

This was the second book in the series, Wild Wicked Highlanders. It can absolutely be read as a stand alone book. The sons of Angus MacTaggert, Earl of Aldriss, must travel to London where their mother lives and marry English women before their younger sister marries, in order for the Aldriss estate to continue getting the money it needs to survive.
This was Aden MacTaggert's story. The characters, Aden and Miranda are well developed, have great chemistry, and very witty banter. Book is full of romance, banter, fun, and even a villain! It was an enjoyable, quick read that I truly recommend.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is book 2 in the Wild Wicked Highlanders series. The series is about the McTaggert brothers, Coll, Aden and Niall, having to come from Scotland to England to find a bride.
This is the story of Aden. Aden and Miranda. These two at first really don't like each other. They fight, bicker, argue, draw sparks off one another. Miranda has prejudged Aden to be a ner-do-well because he gambles. Aden assumes Miranda is just like all the other Sassenach, a flighty, fearherbrained, girl.
But before long, he sees shes smart and intelligent.
She starts to intrigue him
Miranda sees that despite being a gambler, Aden loves and cares for his sister. He dances with the Wallflowers. That starts to endear him to her.
When Miranda gets put into a very dangerous situation by her brother's stupidity, she turns to Aden for help.
Let the adventure begin and the romance develop
The Villian in this story is not evil in a cruel, gory or vulgar way. He is intelligent, deceitful, conniving, cunning, manipulative. He exploits people's weaknesses and then blackmails them to do his bidding.
A character like this is different and I enjoyed finding out to what lengths he would go to.
Aden had to outsmart him, outthink him in order to save Miranda. Of course it hero saves the day.
I love Suzanne Enoch's books because she usually makes me laugh and makes me cry. Now I didnt cry in this book because it was more intellectual than emotional but oh my, did I laugh those last few pages of the book.
One side note..... I hope Eloise dumps Matthew's ass and gets someone who deserves her.

A man in a kilt. A fiery, independent Englishwoman. Adventure. Romance. Intrigue. Put those things together and you get a book that I read in one day! I was captivated by Aden and Miranda! I enjoyed the humor in the book, the passion, and the action!

An entertaining read. I felt that the whole "I don't trust you" got kind of repetitive on Miranda's part, given how Aden continually had her back, but the characters' chemistry was fun.

This is my first Suzanne Enoch and I am in love!! The McTaggert brothers have stolen my heart and I can't wait to read every book in this series. I did not read book one, It's Getting Scot in Here, but it's getting pushed to the top of my TBR. Scot Under the Covers stands alone well but if you can read book one first, do it. You don't want to miss any of these brothers.

Aden is our hero and he is delicious and pretty much perfect. Sexy, a bit broody and mysterious, sarcastic. From the moment he saved a stray dog, I was done. Five star read. Ha! But it got even better as I read. Miranda is headstrong and stubborn and it was nice to see Aden break down her walls. I won't go into story details but there wasn't anything I disliked about this book. The writing flowed well, side characters added fantastic color to the story, the sexiness was well balanced by a good plot. It's a bit of a hate to love story and a little suspense thrown in. There's also a great villain which was a nice element.

If you're a historical fan, give this a whirl!

After reading and enjoying the first book in this series, there was no way I was missing this one.

I loved Miranda and Aden. She’s sharp-tongued and loyal. He’s elusive and charming when he needs to be. Together they’re unlikely partners and it’s so much fun reading them slowly move from acquaintances to something like friends to love. Of course it’s delightful to see Aden’s brothers and Francesca.

Plot wise, it was good. There aren’t as many moving pieces as I expected, but it’s quite layered. I do wish there would have been more dialogue instead of so much inner monologue, but that’s just me being greedy. These two had loads of chemistry and I wanted more...especially in an epilogue that was sorely missing.

Overall, it was easy to root for Miranda and Aden from the very start. I cannot wait to see what Coll’s book is going to look like.

**Huge thanks to St. Martin’s Paperbacks for providing the arc free of charge**

Be warned- The dialogue is hard to follow. It was written with a Scottish tone and it took me three chapters to get used to.

Once used to this, it's a great book! It kept me going and following all the way to the end and definitely was disappointing! Miranda and Aden kept me enthralled and their ending in this book couldn't have been done better.

I usually love books by this author, but had to give before halfway. I found the written scottish accent too hard to follow.. Almost all the dialogue was written this way. It distracted from story and I am sorry to say that I could not finish the book.

This was a fun, quick read. I really enjoyed the continuation of the series and the watching the story of Aden and Miranda unfold. Suzanne does a great job of making characters who you root for and of delivering an entertaining story..

Hello last started book of 2019 and first finished book of 2020! I'm glad I finished and started on such a great note.

✓s: This had a bunch of tropes I love (with a few I have mixed feelings about done) brilliantly. Miranda was a complicated delight, Aden was a scheming strategist who admits that he can be bratty and that he's capable of feelings, the villain squicked me out, the side characters were lovely and complicated (even Miranda's brother wasn't a cardboard stand-in), and it kept me engaged the entire time. It would've been easy to go melodramatic with it (and I don't mind that), but I really enjoyed the direction Enoch took it in, and how humorous it was in places without being farcical.

✘s: Nothing really! There was maybe a little contrived seeming drama between Aden and Miranda, but it wasn't without reason and it resolved quickly enough.

tl;dr: Super enjoyable; I'll probably re-read/listen to the audiobook one day, and I'm definitely looking forward and seeking out book #3.

When caught in a dire predicament, can a miss set aside her animosity to require help from the one man she despises...

While I instantly loved Niall and Amy from the previous book, I was not sure about Miranda.
She took an instant dislike of Aden because of him being rumored as a gambler, while her very brother lost herself in a wager. Why I first thought she was one to be ill-positioned to give lessons, to be so judgmental when it is her own family which has fallen down at the gambling tables. She is also blind, her animosity against Aden prevent her to see the kind soul he is, one who rescues stray dogs and dances with Wallflowers.
She intrigued Aden at first because she spoke her mind but still she hold a grudge against him when he had done nothing to really earn it except some gossips. After so many rebuffs, I wondered if he has a masochist side, she is extremely disagreeable and he had done nothing to deserve her scolding.
Why I would have let her and her predicament without a glance even if it wasn’t on her own doing.

It is a story with its lot of villains, sure the cheater first who is after what he can’t afford by manipulating people to do his binding, but also the coward who handed his sister to settle his impossible debt and then last the heroine who decided that someone is not worthy of her presence because of some hearsay
Then why does Aden ask for more and turn even the other check. Is he a glutton for punishment ?
When the villain get his reward, he could have get worse, I think Miranda’s brother got lucky to escape unscathed.
The villain gots his due but the brother earned a bit more than a good scolding.
Ultimately Miranda redeemed herself when she finally rely to him, but it took time when not once did he do anything to prove he was not one to be trusted.

It has needed to reach half mark for the story to get the characters to trust one another when at every turn Aden proves Miranda he is trustworthy and reliable.
In all, it is a fun read with witty banters and a clever hero trying to always be one step ahead the bad guy and his meddling family.
This is a story about brotherhood, family love and the forgiveness you may have when it is your kin that are involved.
4 stars

I was granted an advance copy through Edelweiss by the publisher St Matin’s Paperback. I prior to it preordered my own.
Here is my true and unbiased opinion.

When her brother finds himself up to his neck in crippling debt from gambling, Miss Miranda Harris finds herself being forced into marriage with the wily retired military Captain who has ruined her brother. As loathsome as she finds him, Miranda knows she must seek help from Aden McTaggert, the wild Highlander who is the brother of her future sister-in-law.

Aden knows nothing about English high society but he's familiar with women and gaming. In order to keep his inheritance and the money that funds Aldriss Park, his home in Scotland, and supports all its tenants, he and his brothers must find English brides, and soon. His mother's decree is barbaric, but he has no choice, so when the intriguing Miranda Harris asks for his help, offering to help him through London society if he'll teach her how to think like a gambler, he decides to play along. Aden finds her beautiful and she peaks his curiosity, but he knows she has her own agenda and he's not sure he can trust that the sparks flying between them are real and not just part of a game she's playing.

Probably 4.5 stars, but I liked this book so much more than its predecessor. Aden was fabulous. He was such an intelligent, lovable hero and I liked that he was always several steps ahead of everyone, even if he was perhaps a bit too quick to forgive Miranda. Miranda nearly ruined this for me at the beginning with her immediate judgment of Aden based on gossip and hearsay before she'd even met him. What was worse was the fact that even after Aden kept proving himself to her repeatedly, she still kept doubting him and sniping at him. Luckily, Miranda did some serious developing, realized her errors and then did some serious groveling and apologizing. I appreciated her taking responsibility for her earlier meanness and apologizing, though I do wish she'd been more willing to hold her brother and uncle at least a little bit responsible for their mistakes, rather than just blaming all gamblers. But she was in a stressful situation and eventually was so sweet to Aden that I could forgive her too. Sidenote: while I find Francesca to be very interesting, she's still been a terrible mother, no matter how she justifies her behavior, and I liked seeing her begin to open her eyes just a bit to the effect her behavior had on her sons and I hope to see her taking some actual responsibility in future books. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and thought it had a great villain and a hero who made the story. I always like the quiet, mysterious types and I'm looking forward to the next book.

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

This book kept me on the edge of my seat every step of the way! Once I finally tore myself away from it to get some work done, I couldn't stop thinking about how the story would end. It did not disappoint.
It was sexy, steamy and had strong women and men - an all around fantastic read. Miranda was everything you what an a heroine to be... even down to the unexpected twist at the end. The MacTaggert brothers were so fun and full of life! Reading the accent did throw me a bit at the beginning, but I promise it does get easier. This was my first Scottish romance but it definitely won't be my last.

Scot Under the Covers is set to release on January 28th. I would suggest a pre-order for this one... you won't be sorry.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, St. Martin's and Suzanne Enoch for the ARC.

After reading It's Getting Scot In Here last year (which I really enjoyed) I couldn't wait to start the next MacTaggert brother story in Scot Under the Covers. Though it had some issues, I enjoyed it overall and look forward to the last of the brothers finding true love.

Where Niall and Amy were thrown together in the last book, his brother Aden was actively pursuing Miranda in this one. Which... okay that's the biggest problem I had here. Not that he's interested in her, but why. It comes off as Aden liking Miranda because she puts up a fight. She's a challenge to him and he likes that because he sees the other English women he's met as boring. I don't know, it got better, but the whole set-up for their romance came off very much hunter-and-prey with the way Aden was pursuing her and I wasn't a fan.

But that wasn't something I really thought about much when I was actually reading Scot Under the Covers, more a reflection afterward. As I was reading, I didn't have much of an issue with anything, if I'm being honest. The banter between Miranda and Aden had just the right amount of snark and sexual tension to keep me hooked, and I liked that it wasn't Aden that Miranda was being "sold" to because of her brother's gambling debts (because I definitely would have had issues with that combined with their rocky start).

Neither protagonist was terribly memorable on their own in the grand scheme of historical romances, but together in the book they worked well. Aden isn't the nicest of the MacTaggert brother, instead known as cunning and secretive. I think he adapted the best while retaining his Highland heritage over the course of the story. It's clear he's making certain sacrifices for Miranda once he develops true feelings for her.

And Miranda becomes less "prey" seeking an escape from her life and more a natural partner for Aden. The relationship didn't feel off balance with one person holding more power than the other here and I appreciated that they kept each other on a fairly level playing field. I think it all contributed to a romance that was not only steaming but also had a deeper emotional level to it.

I flew through Scot Under the Covers. Despite the way things started, I found both characters intriguing enough to follow the whole way through and I definitely want to read the next in the series. The Wild Wicked Highlanders series has proven to be a strong set of books so far and I would definitely recommend checking out the first book as well as this one.
