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!

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.

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.

Scot Under the Covers is book two in The Wild Wicked Highlanders series by Suzanne Enoch. I am loving this set of stories. Enoch is a master of layering her characters and bringing them to life. Although this book could be read as a stand-alone tale, it is much richer to read them in order. Enoch sprinkles some hilarious moments along with some extremely steamy sex scenes. Ordered to London to find themselves, wives, all three MacTaggert brothers are resistant at first. The middle brother is a gambler - Aden. And this is his story. I enjoyed the slow development of Aden and Miranda’s relationship. Miranda’s response to the trial she faces is believable and heartbreaking. I can’t wait to read more in this series.

Miranda is smart and sassy and needs help. Aiden is a gambler and a reprobate and also needs help. They have nothing in common but they need each other. Too bad their feelings are getting in the way.
Fun book. I enjoyed Miranda and Aiden and thought they worked well together.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor.

Miranda doesn't like gamblers, for a good reason, but she finds herself not only attracted to one, but desperately in need of his help. He's the only one who can give her the information she needs to prevent a marriage to a man who can't be trusted; ironically she must trust Aden and his knowledge of gambling, and pretend he is a suitor, too.

Aden has been summoned to London to find a wife by his estranged mother. His sister tries to help by introducing him to her friends, but his wild Highlander ways scares some or is a novelty to others. He's in need of help with society and Miranda can teach him what he needs to know in exchange for his knowledge of gambling.

Pretending to be a potential suitor is the perfect guise, till it starts feeling real. He will have to win over Miranda's distaste of gamblers while winning her hand against a villain. Danger lurks, but Aden has a plan. But will it be enough to win her heart for a lifetime?

Loved this story or romance with a bit of danger.

**Received an ARC from Netgalley**

This is the funny and enthralling story of Miranda Harris and Aden MacTaggert. Aden is the quiet, elusive brother of the MacTaggert brood, who have been tasked by their mother to marry English women before their younger sister marries (she is betrothed to Miranda’s brother, Matthew). The three brothers are so much fun! Who doesn’t love brawny Highlanders, with their brogue and playfulness? But they can be serious when it is needed. It may nearly kill them, but they can manage. Matthew has wagered and lost plenty - enough to sell Miranda to Captain Vale, the scumbag he was wagering against. Desperate to find a way out of the betrothal, she turns to Aden for help even though she despises gamblers. And Aden is a very good gambler!

This is my first Suzanne Enoch book, but it will NOT be my last. I will be seeking out the first book in the series (Niall and Amy’s story) and I can’t wait for the others! The MacTaggert family is wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed reading Aden and Miranda’s story. Ms. Enoch is a fantastic storyteller who weaves humor, snarky dialogue, and sizzling heat into this enemy to lovers story. The story offers suspense, mystery, betrayal, loyalty, and very nice character development. I found myself laughing out loud while reading and while I couldn’t wait to finish the story, I also didn’t want it to end.
Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for who granted an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

I do so love to mix up my reading and what a great way to do it than with a adventure with a Highlander. It had been a few years since I had picked up one by this author with it seeming like a ole friend with a visit. Miranda and Aden must come together to help each other with the results being different than what they had counted on. With the bad guy in here wanting his way also things will get a bit filled with drama at times. Pretend can become real so can the difference seen? This was a much needed adventure with the excitement with what came at the end.
