This is the second novel in this series and follow Aden, the middle brother who is know to keep to himself and rarely reveals his emotions. He meets Miranda who immediately lets it be known that she despises gamblers. It soon is revealed why and shortly thereafter her brother tells her that she has basically been sold to cover his gambling debts to a seriously creepy dude.

She seeks help from Aden as she thinks a fellow gambler can help her out of this mess.

The story really kept me guessing as to how Aden was going to help her out of the mess, their romance was really lovely (and sexy!), all in all a really great story! Would love to read the rest of the series!

Miranda Harris is a sought after lady of the ton. In her fifth season she’s in no rush to marry when her brother lands her in a heap of trouble and she’s being blackmailed into marrying a shadowy character looking for a shiny society wife.
Aden McTaggert is the second brother of the family and in London to find himself an English bride. He likes gambling which wins him the immediate disapproval of the lovely Miss Harris, but when she comes to him asking for help with her troubles, they’ll find themselves getting to know each other more than they initially expected.
This was my first read by the author and a refreshing tale of love and intrigue. Fun, entertaining and rather original, the story was an easy read that left me wanting to read more about the McTaggert clan.

3.5 stars

OMG! Where has Suzanne Enoch been all my life?! I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve pick up a book by her and it definitely won’t be my last! I can’t wait to circle back and go through her backlist. This was such a pleasant surprise for me! I really loved this one! I loved her writing style, it was easy to read and fall into. I ADORED Aden and Miranda!! They had such a fun and sweet romance! He’s charming and she’s fierce, they were opposites but it just worked in all the best ways. It was really cute to see them start off as just acquaintances to forming a solid friendship to lovers. It was really well developed and the chemistry was great to read!. And obviously the setting was gorgeous. I really need to read more Highlander books and I’m really looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

When a Highlander and a British lady teamed up to outwit a scoundrel, love gets in the way and sets the course of destiny. Scot Under the Covers is a smart plot-driven historical romance between two individuals who go against their prejudice and stereotype to avoid a very misfortunate nuptial. This book features the blossoming romance between the second brother of McTaggert family, Aden and his soon-to-be sister-in-law, Miranda Harris.

Lady Miranda Harris was a reputable young woman whose brother, Matthew, was engaged to Eloine McTaggert. Having learned about Matthew's gambling problem and his mounting debt to a certain wicked Captain, Robert Vale, she sought guidance from Aden McTaggert, a well-known Highlander who shared the same likeness for gambling. Plotting against Robert Vale led these two to an unlikely relationship and budding attraction. Their wit and intelligence were on par with each other making them a very handsomely suited couple. Only if Robert Vale was not in the way of each other. The story started off to a great promise, I love their chemistry and the steamy moment between these two was unparalleled. However, there was little to no development of their relationship to be seen on-page. The characters spent too much time thinking about their feelings without exploring deep into it. As a result, they had an on and off connection that was spontaneous whenever the other party was involved. Fortunately, this can be easily overlooked for the solid plot that kept the story going.

I enjoyed this book and while it was the first I've ready by Suzanne Enoch, it will not be the last. I thought the characters were developed well and the relationship that developed between Aden and Miranda was one that kept me turning the pages. The villain of this story made things interesting and I loved that no matter how things were destined to turn out for Aden and Miranda, Aden wasn't willing to abandon her.

I look forward to the next book in this series and will be going back to check out book one as well! If you're looking for a historical romance that has an interesting story, solid characters, and some swoony romance, this is one you should be picking up.

I have never read Suzanne Enoch and did not read the first book in this series but I do believe I will. I really enjoyed the banter between the “smart” Miranda Harris and Aden. Especially Aden’s highland brogue. Beyond that,
their attraction was the glue of the story for me.

While Aden tries to get Miranda out of a blackmailing jam, he falls hard as does she. Miranda’s brother and future brothers-in-law to Aden, Matthew, is at the root of the blackmail that could cause their family a disastrous scandal.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange
For an honest review.

Scot Under the Covers by Suzanne Enoch started off as a slow burn romance. When the action picked up, I was hooked. The leading lady, Miranda Harris, is one stubborn but strong heroine. The story really begins where her brother is in debt to a man and leaves Miranda to marry him. Then, there’s the hero of this story, Aden MacTagger. I really liked him. He was everything a real man should be. He has quirks, but it made him more real. Two enemies join forces to help each other. Only neither expected fate to write them a different script.

Suzanne Enoch’s writing was enjoyable. Her characters were well built. It was like getting a sneak peak into two real people’s lives. I also enjoyed the fun, charming, and hot banters between the main characters. I am a huge fan of anything historical and romance. This novel was great! I got lost within the characters and their story.

The sneaky McTaggart has found a bride. Aden and his brothers are in London to find brides at the behest of their other and in an effort to save the future of their Clan. He is the secretive and enigmatic brother. Miranda has had several seasons and not made the decision to marry. Her and Aden clash the first day they meet and she decides she doesn’t like him. When trouble strikes however she reaches out to him and he comes to her rescue. The story is filled with wonderful characters. The dialogue is witty, and funny. You will enjoy the antics of these Highland gentlemen as they turn London on its ears.

Sexy, fun, emotionally thrilling, action packed romantic adventure filled with engaging charters, witty banter, heart racing twists and undeniable passion... was a great read. Really enjoyed reading this intriguing and exciting journey!

Do you like historical romances? I love them--especially when they include a man in a kilt! This is the story of strong-willed Highlander with a heart of gold out to save the woman he loves from a scheming blackmailer. But Miranda is no simpering English lass and is willing to do what it takes to free herself. And Aden will defy all of society's rules to keep her safe.

I loved the characters of Aden and Miranda! Both were strong people who said what they meant. The story had great dialogue with such fun banter between the couple. I loved the Gaelic words that were added! There were several steamy scenes too. The action in the book kept the plot moving. I had to keep reading to see how Aden and Miranda would escape the blackmailers trap and find their happily ever after. The only thing I didn't like was that the ending seemed a little abrupt. This is book two in a series but works as a standalone.

I highly recommend this book to romance fans and can't wait for book 3! Thank you to St Martin's and Netgalley for an e copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. The stakes in this book were excellent and created some great tension throughout the story. The villain was also so well done! I think at some points, there was a bit of repetitiveness in Aden's thought process, but I imagine that was probably something that was worked out in the final draft of the book. I'm excited to read Coll's story

SCOT UNDER THE COVERS is the second book in Suzanne Enoch’s “Wild Wicked Highlanders” series about three Scottish brothers reconnecting with their estranged English mother. Initially, in SCOT UNDER THE COVERS, Miranda Harris is determined to think the worst of Aden MacTaggert in much the same way as Elizabeth did when it came to Mr. Darcy in Jane Austen’s PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Her ill opinion doesn’t last for long, since Miranda ends up coming to Aden for help when she’s targeted by a villain.

I enjoy a good villain in a story, and the enigmatic and sinister Captain Robert Vale has a matter of fact and understated evil quality that makes you shudder. Other than trying to carve out a place in high society and snag Miranda as a wife, his end game is a mystery for the heroes to figure out. Although there’s an initial attraction mixed with irritation between Miranda and Aden when they first meet, it’s Vale and his schemes that act as a catalyst for them getting together and falling in love. This is a great book for readers who enjoy when a hero and heroine have a prickly beginning. Over the course of the book, Aden shows Miranda that he is not the man she initially supposes him to be. Aden feels compelled by his mother to marry quickly, but he can’t find anyone who challenges him – until Miranda. Aden respects Miranda’s sharp wit and strong backbone. While these two people had a dubious and somewhat rocky beginning, circumstances have them working together and getting to know each other better.

SCOT UNDER THE COVERS has intrigue, imaginative storytelling, and a fiery romance. I enjoy seeing how the three brothers, their relationship with each other, their relationship with their mother, and their views on romance, evolve over the course of this series. I look forward to reading Suzanne Enoch’s next book.

This is a well written love story that did not start out that way. Miranda had no desire to get to know Aeden, who will become part of her family once their siblings marry but her brother has gotten himself deep in debt and the only way he can dismiss the debt is if she marries the man holding his notes. Because this is a gambling debt and she knows Aeden likes to wager, she goes to him for advise. The more she is around Aeden, the more she sees a different side to him. Eventually things work out for everyone and there is going to be a HEA but a lot happens first. The story is well written and entertaining in that Miranda is very out spoken and so is Aeden which makes for some wonderful banter. It is an excellent story and I would highly recommend it.

Scots Under Cover is the 2nd book in The Wild Wicked Highlanders series. It could also be read as a stand a lone book. It was a thoroughly enjoyable regency book. I recommend the book and the series!

I did receive an arc from NetGalley for an honest review.

I love books with Highlander mainly with men who seems a barbarian type and end up being a sweet and true charming prince.
Aden has always been the most controlled and restrained of the MacTaggert brothers. He is a great gambler and like a good bet. He did not think of getting married until his mother's blackmail reached him and his brothers. When he met Miranda at one of his sister's balls, Aden finally comes across a woman who messes with him.
Miranda doesn't like gamblers but will need Aden's help to get rid of her brother's debt and to understand a gambler's mind. He agrees to help the lady in distress but in return she needs to help him behave like a perfect lord. Miranda and Aden come together as partners and will need to trust each other.Gradually, they become affectionate, the attraction grows and love flourishes.
I found their love story very beautiful, I just hoped for a better resolution for the villain and her brother who in my opinion is the biggest villain in the plot.
3,5/5 stars

Miranda is shocked to learn that her brother has lost her in a gambling debt. She is supposed to marry a man that she has just met. Unfortunately for her, nothing about the man appeals to her. In her desperation to get out of the marriage, she enlists the help of Aden who is a known gambler. Who better to beat a gambler than one of his own kind. Miranda has long made it known that she despises gambling, so why does she find the man that is helping her so appealing?

Aden is shocked that Miranda has come to him for help as she made her feeling for him very clear the first time they meet. But after spending time with her, he soon realizes that she is the one for him. Can he convince her to take a chance on him?

I absolutely adored Miranda and Aden's story!! Enoch is masterful with her dialogue and all the bantering between these two had me laughing out loud! So often it is the female that falls for the male first and I loved the role reversal in this one. It didn't take long for Aden to know that Miranda was the woman for him!! I'm excited for the next book in the series, which I assume will be Coll's story.

A braw Scot wearing a kilt, barefoot, with a soft spot for a hungry dog and a horse named Loki? Just call me happy! I immediately fell in love with Aden! He was fun and had a great sense of humor but also a soft side, especially for his family.
He and his two brothers had come to London at the bequest of their mother, who had left them years ago in Scotland, but took their sister her. She held the purse strings and had finagled that the boys were to marry English ladies in order to keep the funds going to support their estate.
So she was trying to set Aden up by parading ladies around and he met Miranda, the sister of Matthew who wanted to wed his sister. Matthew who was asking Miranda to marry a man because he owed him a hugh amount of money from gambling! So she goes to Aden to ask his advice and their journey begins.
This author writes so smoothly and she pulled me in very quickly. A handsome highlander, a feisty lady and everything needed to keep me turning the pages! Humorous banter, strong attraction, a villain set on having our heroine and a cast of characters that are wonderful.. Loved this story as well or even better than the first in this series! Cannot wait for Coll's story!
Oh and last but not least the cover is scrumptious!

Witty, frequently hilarious with the prescribed villain and hero!

I have to say I SO enjoyed renewing my acquaintance with this series featuring the wild wicked highlanders--the MacTaggert Brothers.
Continuing the story about three brawny alpha males being dragged to London by their Sassenach mother to marry English women before their sister Eloise is married, else forfeit continued financial support for Aldriss Park and the people of Clan Ross. Something the three men couldn't bear to let happen. Francesca Oswell-MacTaggert ended up with three very disgruntled sons. As their mother, Francesca controlled the purse strings for their Highland home, the three men obeyed the injunction, not without setting about to cause as much angst and disruption as possible.
Aden MacTaggert has delighted in showing how uncouth he is but when Miranda Harris, the sister of Eloise's fiancé Matthew, asked for his help, he gave it. Mathew it seems had been fleeced badly in cards by an out and out bounder, Captain Robert Vale. Vale's price for the gambling notes is marriage to Miranda. After discovering her brother's perfidy Mia decides she "needed a word with one of the wolves." Aden ways It! The description of Mia stalking the reluctant Aden at the ball is rather hilarious. Mia is certainly a determined person when needs must.
Of course things become exciting and unpredictable. After all the MacTaggerts are involved. I cheered for Miranda and Aden, personally thought Mathew a wretch who was too easily forgiven. I actually hoped that Eloise would give him notice, not go all 'There There Dear.' After all the man just sold his sister to a card sharp for goodness sake! In fact Matthew would have to walk on broken glass for me to forgive him.
Witty, with just the right amount of pathos and daring do. This is a well coined successor to the first in the series!

A St. Martin's Press ARC via NetGalley

3.5 stars! A nice historical romance about a Scot and an English woman and how they join forces to handle a big threat to her and her family.

Aden is charming (accent and all). Miranda is strong and brave and smart. And what’s great about their dynamic is that Aden expects Miranda to keep pace with him. It’s great how he views her as a partner.

I don’t really read much historical romances anymore. Too much Johanna Lindsay er al in my youth I think 😂 But I liked this one. It’s sweet and kept me curious on how they rescue her.

Thank you St. Martin’s Press and St. Martin’s Paperbacks for the copy of this book. I enjoyed it.

I loved this Scottish tale! This may be my first book by Suzanne Enoch; let me tell you that it will definitely not be my last. The characters were fun and enjoyable to experience, the plot kept my attention and I liked the twists :).
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the lovely characters, intriguing plot, and for keeping my attention.
I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feed back. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.
