I enjoyed every minute of this fast-paced Regency romance with captivating characters and a story that kept me entertained and intrigued from the beginning and not able to put the book down until I read the last word. I loved the attraction, off-the-charts chemistry and repartee between Aden MacTaggert and Miranda Harris. This may be the first book I have read by Suzanne Enoch but I can't wait to read more by this gifted author. I received an advance reader copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Why did it take a little longer than normal to read this book? Well I loooove Suzanne Enoch and have been a fan of hers for a while, so when I get one of her books, I start remember other books of her and then start reading them all over again..My favorite is ..London's perfect scoundrel)Now to this one, this is the second book in series, It's getting Scott in here, the first one, and I always recommend to read the first one so you can get a better understanding of who is who. I love Scottish men and I came to fall in love with these guys the MacTaggerts, and when you start reading you will understand why.So we meet Miranda who is going to be their sister in law, but her brother the numbskill loses lots in gambling and for the debt the scheming scoundrel wants to marry Miranda, what to what to do, well she goes someone she does not really care for Aden and he is going to help her learn the tricks of the trade and she is going to help him navigate thru the ton..While spend time with each other, Miranda realizes that she was all wrong about and the spark between them is catching fire..

I am a massive fan of historical romances. I am also a massive fan of historical romances that involve Highlanders. So, when I saw that Scot Under the Covers was up for review, I knew that I needed to read it.

Scot Under the Covers is the 2nd book in the Wild, Wicked Highlanders series. This book can be read as a standalone book, but I would highly recommend reading book 1. That way, you can get a feel for the boys’ relationship with their mother and her demand that brought them to London. It is explained in this book but gets more in-depth in book 1.

Scot Under the Cover got off to a slow start. I did appreciate the slow start. The author chose to lay the groundwork for Miranda’s storyline. She also decided to let the reader get a good feel for what type of person Aden was. The book did pick up in pace after that first couple of chapters, and it kept a steady pace throughout the book.

I loved Miranda’s character growth in this book. She was introduced as a shy, sheltered debutante. She was sharp, and she knew how to defend herself verbally. Her character growth came when she was forced into an engagement to Captain Robert Vale. She was forced to depend on her wits to outwit him, and when that didn’t work, she turned to Aden. By the end of the book, she was an amazing woman, and she was worthy of Aden.

I had liked Aden in the previous book. The small glimpse that was given of him showed him to be a man who took risks, in and out of the gaming hells. If I liked him in the previous books, I loved him in this one. He knew something was going on with Miranda. Once he found out what was going on, he was going to do anything and everything to help her. What I liked is that not everything is what it seems with him. He had layers upon layers. It was interesting to see what was going to be revealed once one of his layers were peeled back.

I never do this, but I loved the villain in this book. Captain Robert Vale was indeed an evil man. Each one of his interactions with Miranda gave me chills. How he got to Miranda gave me chills. Everything about him gave me chills. I was surprised that he was juggling more than one ball, though. When that was revealed, I did have hope for Miranda after that.

Aden and Miranda’s romance got off to a slow start. She was attracted to him (and him to her), but she was too focused on trying to shake Captain Robert Vale to acknowledge it. It was when Aden found out what was going on that their romance sparked. Then it was all downhill. Aden knew that he was going to marry Miranda reasonably early in the book. It took Miranda much longer to come to that realization.

This is not a clean romance. There is sex. Now how the sex scene came about is interesting. Miranda didn’t want Captain Robert Vale to take her virginity. She asks Aden, who is more than happy to help. The sex scenes were tastefully written and were hot.

I was a little annoyed (actually a lot) with Miranda’s brother and his role in everything. How she could keep talking to him after that baffled me. I also don’t understand how Aden kept his temper too.

The end of the book was nothing short of amazing. But, I was a little put off by how Miranda and Captain Robert Vale’s storyline ended. I was left unfulfilled and feeling a little irritated. But, other than that, amazing and a real HEA!!!

Oh Suzanne Enoch, where have you and your wonderful books been? I'm so happy to have made this discovery!I truly enjoyed this wonderful story of Aden MacTaggert, the striking highlander who came to the rescue of English lady, Miranda Harris. He starts out with the intent of helping her out of her predicament and disproving her bad impression of him. However, somewhere along the way, he also loses his heart to her. Little does he know, she's falling for him as well. Hopefully, they are successful in their "mission" or Miranda will be left with few option about who she's marrying thanks to her brother's poor choices. Oh yes, her brother happens to be engaged to Aden's sister and let's just say he's had some issues in the past with gambling debts.

This is the second in a series but you don't need to read them in order. I hadn't read the first one yet, but you can believe I'll be going back to read it now. Scot Under the Covers had a creative storyline and characters that both had strong personalities. A definite winner!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. The fun plot and engaging characters very quickly capture and hold your interest. I thought both characters were quite likable and I loved heir chemistry. Aden and Miranda share plenty of clever banter while generating plots of sparks. There is a nice overall feeling of tension and excitement as these two conspire together. A well crafted blend of drama, emotion and passion flows throughout the story as it unfolds and this couple's relationship develops. If I thought that there was one negative to this book it would be Matthew. In spite of the excuses that the author makes for this character, I honestly didn't like him. I never truly felt that he regretted his actions and further more, I could not accept the idea that no one would have intense reservations about him marrying Eloise.

I love a good novel that is centered around the Scots. I love the way I can picture their accents, their lands, their hearts. Suzanne Enoch is a magnificent author when it comes to writing the novels about Scots and the women that love them. I really loved reading book 1 in this series, and Scot Under The Covers was just as awesome!

I loved Aden and Miranda’s characters. They were beautifully chiseled and came to life within the story. I felt their emotions, their conflicts, their sparks flying between them, as if they were all my own. I loved seeing Aden and Miranda interact. They were beautiful together! The loyalties of the highlanders are beautifully depicted and I was completely captivated by it!

Scot Under The Covers is one hot highlander read! Enoch will take you on a roller coaster ride as you quickly become engrossed in this page turner. You’ll find yourself falling hard for Aden, cheering Miranda on, and wanting to be a part of this family. Enoch’s talent is beautiful and strong and I am so glad to have read this second installment in this fantabulous series! Can’t wait for another one!

*I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley, Publisher and was under no obligation to post a review, positive or negative.*

Miranda’s brother lost high wagers and is blackmailed into marrying his sister off to the winner.
She fights her destiny with the unlikely alliance with highlander Aden, a gamer she despises.
The “enemy-to-lover” banter is quite funny and the story moves along with a nice pace, making this a page turner.

Romance, historical, intriguing, humor, and a bit of mystery, it’s all there, in the series. This time it’s the middle MacTaggert highlander, Aden, (a gambler) who is the next brother to fall from bachelorhood, while rescuing an english women being forced into a marriage to settle her brother’s gambling debt. And in the background there hangs an agreement (between his estranged mother and father) which states, he must marry a sessenach before his youngest sister marries (in six months) or lose all financial support for their laird, Aldress Park in Scotland. The sessenach in trouble is Miranda, who has a chip on her shoulder about gamblers, but needs Aden’s help to get out of this predicament her brother has put her in.
"I received a complimentary ebook copy of this book, and my opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

This was such an entertaining read with very engaging characters. The MacTaggert brothers, Coll, Aden and Niall were all larger than life highlanders. This story mainly concerns the middle brother, Aden, although all feature in some way. Aden, is shrewd, insightful and very intelligent, he also likes to shock. He likes to keep his own council. His first meeting with Miranda Harris was eventful and that there relationship thereafter continued to be complicated. Miranda has a major problem and Aden is helping her solve it. There is a villain who is making claims that would have a disastrous affect on Miranda. There follows a complex plan to solve this problem. As Miranda and Aden work together, they become much closer. However, Aden has some misguided principles that stops him from committing completely. There is also the estrangement from his mother for seventeen years and why the father wouldn’t allow contact with her sons, maybe this will be explained in the next book. I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series. I received a copy and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is the second book about the MacTaggert clan. You can easily read this book on it own. Still it helps to know that the three brothers Coll, Aden, and Niall have been forced to come to London to find a English wife. All this is happening during London's high season. None of the men are happy to be involved with these women that they find to be hothouse flowers. That is until Aden MacTaggert has a run in with Miranda Harris.
Miranda thinks the MacTagget men uncouth and have no understanding of London high society. That is until she finds herself in trouble. How could her brother Matthew promise her hand in marriage to evil man like Robert Vale? She feels backed into a corner and scared. Forcing her to turn your the very man she finds uncouth. Can Aden Mactagget help solve her problem? Enjoyed watching both Aden and Miranda grow as they learn it okay to need help from others. Family can stand together.

I received an ARC from Netgalley and I am happy to give my honest review.

I have read a few books by this author, both her contemporary and historical romances, and generally liked them. I was excited to nab Scot Under the Covers because who doesn't love a Highlander?

This book's heroine is Miranda. She is a little older and still on the market because she hasn't found the right guy. She is proper and polite but pretty bored with the ton. Her brother becomes engaged and all of a sudden her life turns upside down.

Aden is Miranda's future brother in law (brother to Miranda's brother's betrothed). He and his brothers are coerced down from Scotland by their mother who will cease funding their estate if they don't marry an English woman before their sister is married. They reluctantly enter the marriage market and are not impressed. Until Aden sees Miranda. Attraction at first sight, which is not reciprocated.

Miranda's brother gets into some hot water with his gambling and offers her up as the prize. She works with Aden, a renowned gambler, to get herself free from an arranged marriage. Here's where you have to suspend belief. Why would Aden allow his sister to marry a guy who gambles way more than he could win and turns his sister over instead? Aden doesn't want to marry and by breaking up his sister's engagement he would be able to return home. He knows this would break her heart but... dude wagered his sister away to a cruel, manipulative man. In what world is that okay?

Putting that aside, I liked Aden and liked Miranda but didn't necessarily like them together. I wanted Miranda to be more self sufficient and Aden to be more forthcoming. The Scottish jargon was also difficult to get through in Aden and his brother's speech. In the end, this book did leave me smiling and I enjoyed it.

I don’t think Suzanne Enoch can write a bad book. She delivers another great story.
Aden and Miranda get off to a rough start. But, when Miranda becomes trapped in an untenable situation, she turns to Aden for help.
Ms. Enoch writes sexy romance with some grit. She did not disappoint here. I couldn’t put the book down! (My kids may have eaten cereal for dinner at least one night.)
This is my introduction to her Wild Wicked Highlander series and I will definitely read the others.

Aden and Miranda make a pact to help each other and while doing that gradually and slowly fall in love.Aden is a dashing scot who is not only good looking but loves his family n is honourable .he is estranged from his mother for good reason.he is the middle of three brothers.all the brothers love their younger sister.Miranda's brother is engaged to Aden's sister .i didnt quite like him for what he did to his own sister.Aden n Miranda were well suited n their interactions were entertaining.overall a good story.looking forward to read the eldest brother's story

This historical romance was a satisfying read. I loved the heroine's need to play by her own rules, and how the hero stepped up to assist her out of a bad deal. The suspense reaches a pinnacle and the story ends with good winning over evil. A Happy Ending! I received an advanced reader's copy in exchange for my honest review.

This is the second book of Enoch's newest series. I haven't read the first, and this was fine as a standalone. I can tell you will have a better feel for all the characters be reading in order, though. The siblings were in this book, and I'm assuming at least Aden was in the prior book. The first book of the series is It's Getting Scot in Here). This book provided a bit more insight into how Coll's personality was and I'm assuming the next book will be about him (or at least that he will have a book at some point. I'm very excited for his story. He's a huge, brawny highlander and I'm half in love with him already.)

Miranda is the perfect society lady. She has polish. She knows society rules. She has a wonderfully pleasant and engaging personality. Except when it comes to the burly Aden MacTaggert, whom she snubs upon meeting. I really enjoyed Miranda. She was one of those heroines that I just truly liked. I want to be her friend. Shes not helpless, she's smart, but she's limited by her position and strength. And Aden fills in those gaps so wonderfully. She's not someone who is meek or has no backbone. I thought the ways she needed Aden were so touching and more real feeling for the time. Don't get me wrong, I love an independent heroine and one that can save herself and others, but this just felt different. Maybe I was in the mood for a big, hairy highlander to come in and save the day. Miranda pulls her weight for sure and they work together. She's not just a damsel in distress.

Aden has been drug to London to find a bride. His family history was probably explained better in the first book. You know his mom left his father 17 years ago and now has an agreement to get all the brothers leg shackled before their sister. Niall has already found his love. Aden is open to the idea of marriage, but doesn't seem to meet anyone that inspires any strong feelings.

I thought this book would be an enemies to lovers because of their brief animosity the first, but it turned into a lovely getting to know you, becoming friends, and falling in love. Miranda has a serious problem she must solve and she enlists Aden to help her. They become partners against a villain. This villain felt a bit different than the usual villain. The drive behind what he wanted was different. And boy did he inspire strong feelings of dislike in me. You were rooting for his disappearance. He is in the book a decent amount, but I found it didn't take away from Aden and Miranda's relationship. It bonded them stronger together, in fact, because you couldn't help compare the two and it made your heart melt all the more with Aden's actions.

Heart melting is how I felt about this book. There were so many just adorable, cute, funny, sweet moments in this book. I'm pretty sure as I finished, I oozed into a pile with hearts floating above me. Aden is more of a beta hero, and betas are usually not my thing. But I loved Aden. He's just so sweet and caring and he just falls in love with Miranda so sweetly. He doesn't have some deep, dark, and lame secret why he can't marry. He hasn't sworn off women/marriage. He has these real feelings that are new to him, and he embraces. I'm getting goosebumps thinking about his love for Miranda. I loved how he loved her and I loved how he spoke about his feelings first.

This book is my favorite Suzanne Enoch. This is my 6th novel by her. I plan on getting my hands on the first in this series soon and I will definitely be checking out Coll's story when it comes out!

I am having so much fun with this new series by Suzanne Enoch. Following on the heels of book one, It's Getting Scot in Here, Niall and Amy's story, Scot Under the Covers brings middle brother, Aden into the spotlight. Readers met Aden in book one but he's still a bit of a mystery when his book begins so I came into this story with an open mind about both him and his heroine, Miranda.

The story begins a bit slow but takes off once Miranda approaches Aden, a man she neither likes nor respects, for help in foiling the villainous man who holds the future of Miranda's family, and especially Miranda, herself, in his hands. Knowing Aden gambles, she figures he's cut from the same cloth as the man threatening her. As she comes to learn, that's not the case. From that point on, we're treated to plenty of witty banter, sizzling chemistry, matching of wills, and, a gradual deepening of emotion as Miranda and Aden slowly lower their guards and open themselves to one another...and the reader.

Aden is so much more than what he's allowed people to see. He made me smile, sigh, and cheer him on every step of the way. By the end of the book, I was thoroughly invested in him and his future happiness. I love how much he respects Miranda's intelligence and her abilities, how he treats her as a partner (even while trying to keep her safe), both in their attempts to take down a villain and when they finally come together in the bedroom. Miranda is someone I'd enjoy being friends with. I appreciated the growth of her character throughout the book, admired her ability to admit she was wrong about Aden, cheered her on when she took control of her life, both in standing up to those threatening her happiness and, again, when she made the decision to take control of her body, her future, and her relationship with Aden.

Enoch also brings wonderful humor to this book, much of it intertwined with secondary characters such as Smythe, the stuffy English butler, Rory, the well-dressed, stuffed deer the brothers brought with them from the Highlands and installed in their mother's home, Brogan, the dog Aden rescues that he insists is a male (she's not) and insists followed them all the way from the Highlands (she didn't), and, surprisingly, eldest brother, Coll. I'm now eagerly anticipating his book and excited to find out what Enoch has planned for him.

Another secondary character who has appeared in both books is Miranda's younger brother (the one who put her in danger). I don't know what Enoch has planned for Matthew, who is betrothed to Eloise, the younger sister of Aden, Niall, and Coll, but I'm not nearly ready to forgive him for his actions in Scot Under the Covers. He took baby steps at the end of this book but he's going to have to do some major growing, and groveling, before I'm ready to accept him as Eloise's husband.

4.5 Stars

*ARC received from publisher. All thoughts expressed are unbiased and my own.

Okay, let's start with the good: The MacTaggert's. I love this family, every character has their own quirks and personality that shine through and besides who doesn't love Highlanders. I'll be interested in finding out about the true story going on with the mother, Francesca. I think Coll's book will entertain, too. Aden and Miranda were a great match, and they kept the book lively with their constant toe to toe 'discussions'. The story overall was a good one.

The bad: Not a lot here, but some cutting could have happened. I just get annoyed when a book is longer than it needs to be. Everyone has very busy lives and sometimes reading is a treat so please don't make a book longer by repeating.things like the what the hero and heroine thinks about each other, over and over. Some repetition is necessary, right? Because we all do it when trying to figure something out but just cool it a little. Please.

The ugly: Miranda's brother, WTH? I'm sorry but the complete and utter ridiculousness of this character being not just forgiven, but his behaviour excused was mind blowing to me and I dropped a star just for this. Poor Matthew, the devil made him do it, he's naïve, poor thing didn't know what he was doing when HE SOLD HIS SISTER to a vile bastard that would have abused her! And still woe is me, what else can I do? I'll be disinherited. Not only was this character repugnant, he never seemed to get what was so wrong with it. After all, sisters are there to save us, right? And the MacTaggert's reaction. What? They at the least should have beat the ever lovin' crap out of him but our wee sister loves him so... shoulder shrug. Sure they would keep an eye on him but would you let someone like that marry your sister after he did that to his own sister, not bloody likely.
Now, this was the perfect storyline for these characters, however, I just couldn't get past how Matthew skated with no repercussions.

Scot Under The Covers, by Suzanne Enoch, is available at booksellers on 1-28-20. Covers is book 2 in Ms Enoch's Wild Wicked Highlanders series. If you love and sassy highlander in a kilt then this is the book for you. We even get a sassy talking heroine. What fun.

Aden MacTaggert, and his brothers, have been summoned to London with the edict to find an English wife. His mother is not to be messed with, she formidable. Aden has hardened his heart & been careful to stay away from relationships with women, they just break your heart. He's resigned but not happy. Aden is a tough nut to crack until he meets a sharp tongued, straight speaking, Miranda Harris. She's no fool and detest empty-headed ton gentlemen & gamblers. Especially gamblers. She's heard Aden is a serious gambler & spits fire at him from their 1st meeting. She takes almost the entire book to come around. The nice thing about Aden is when he finds "the one" he knows it & go after her. No dallying about.

I'm waiting for the oldest brother to get his comeuppance. In Covers he ran out of the house naked. Can't wait for more of that. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I fell in love with the “barbarian” highlander MacTaggert brothers in the first book in this series and I fell harder in this second book. Watching a lady who grew up in society stand up to Aden, the middle brother was full of laughs and sensuality. The book displayed beautifully the fierce protectiveness of Aden over Miranda and the sexual tension between the two. You could feel along with characters and it had the right blend of description and action. I can’t wait for the third book in the series and Coll’s story.

4.5 stars
Who doesn’t love a highlander?
I love Aden and his true personality even if he only shows it to Miranda.
The banter is amazing and the story overall is a great reminder that love can be found in some unthinkable moments or persons.
I admit that it’s my first book by the author although I own some other stories but now I’m hooked and I found it as a must read author.
