It took me awhile to get into this one and I did a lot of skimming, but I think that has more to do with the state of the world and my inability to focus than the book itself.

Overall I love this series and would recommend them!

Who does not love a Scot? Not me that is for sure. So we get to the final brother of the MacTaggerts and I tell you I am in love with him. He is hilarious, as are all of his brothers, and witty and charming when he wants to be and protective. Just an all around great guy. I love how Suzanne brings to life their way of talking and thinking. The romance is sweet and very believable. I found Persephone a little bit hard to grasp onto and feel. She seemed distant which I know she was supposed to but Coll gave his all even though I was a little miffed at him and his English way of thinking that he had to have a person of the ton to marry. This is a great ending to the series…although, what about their parents? Another story or novella would be great.

A viscount with a deadline to find a wife and an actress who's life is in danger cross paths in this sweet and fun romance! The story follows Coll MacTaggert, the oldest son and a Highlander to boot, who is being forced to get a wife in a couple of weeks or he will never be given his inheritence to help maintain his estates from his mother and Persephone Jones, a famous, independent, and witty actress who has more secrets than anyone, who finds herself facing threats to her life that are not as "accidental" as she had hoped. Both characters have fun banter and chemistry! I loved reading about them falling in love with each other and tryin to navigate both of their difficult situations. Coll is a gentleman, be it a bit rough around the edges, but a sweet one and Persephone is a fierce lady who is smart as heck. The real winner of my heart though would have to be Hades, the cutest black cat! Overall, a super fun mystery romance read with some family drama and a murder attempts. This is a book in the series but you can read it as a stand alone without feeling like you've missed anything!

*Thanks Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

Ah! I’ve been waiting for Coll’s book for what seems like FOREVER. It was worth the wait! You could absolutely feel Coll’s frustration and anger at his parents (especially his mother) – it was rolling off him in clouds. To truly understand Coll’s total frustration, you should read at least the first book in the series, It's Getting Scot in Here. If you haven’t read that book, I’ll give you a little of the background for the series.

Angus MacTaggert, Earl Aldriss, met and married Francesca Oswell in a whirlwind. It was a love match and a practical match as well. Aldriss needed money and the Oswells had it in droves. Francesca’s father was uneasy that the courtship and marriage happened so fast, so he assured that the money always remained in Francesca’s hands – along with the property she received from the Oswell estate. Angus and Francesca were two of the most stubborn and pig-headed people you’ll ever meet – neither had a conciliatory bone in their bodies. She wanted to live in England for part of the year and he wouldn’t hear of it. So, after the birth of their fourth child, Eloise, Francesca took Eloise and left Scotland, Angus, and their three sons – Coll, Aden, and Niall. Before she left though, she made Angus sign an agreement that their three sons would marry English women before Eloise married. After seventeen years of not hearing a word from their mother – and their father never telling them about the agreement – the now grown brothers were shocked to learn that in order to have the funds to maintain the Aldriss estate and its tenants, they were expected to marry English women – because Eloise was now betrothed. To say that didn’t go well was putting it mildly. There was so very much anger from the sons – who was this woman who had abandoned them, didn’t love or care for them – and now she has the power to control their lives. Coll had the most anger because he was the oldest and remembered his mother the best – and he remembered the deep pain her rejection and abandonment of them caused. Coll won’t go down easily!

Coll MacTaggert, Viscount Glendarril, has definitely not made a good impression on the ton. Inside, Coll is an honorable, caring, loyal, intelligent man, but all he has shown the ton is anger – basically his neanderthal side. You can’t blame him. How would you feel if the parent who abandoned and rejected you when you were twelve years old suddenly summoned you from Scotland to London to marry an English woman you’d never met and didn’t want? He could have refused, but if he did, all of the funding to support Aldriss Park would go away and his tenants and others would starve and be forced to leave Scotland for America or other places. Yes, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree because Coll inherited all of the stubbornness both of his parents had. What he didn’t inherit though was their intractability. Coll was able to see another’s point of view and to accommodate those views. Thank Goodness! It is easy to think Coll is just a jerk, but he isn’t. He carries deep scars from his mother’s abandonment and those come out as anger. Coll knows he has to marry an English woman, but he’ll choose his own NOT the insipid debutantes his mother keeps throwing at him. When she tries to trap him into an evening at the theater with not one but two potential brides, Coll flees his mother’s theater box and ends up deep inside the bowels of the theater, he is escaping – again. That is when he meets a woman who doesn’t know he has a title – and doesn’t care. She isn’t afraid of him and stands toe-to-toe with him. Oh! My! He knows he can’t wed an actress – but if he could …

Mrs. Persephone Jones is the darling of London’s theater. Her performances are always sell-outs and everybody admires her abilities. She’s always surrounded by men – rich, titled, men – who want to be her ‘protector’ and expect her to acquiesce. One evening after a performance, she saw a huge Highlander behind the stage. He wasn’t frightening – she’d seen frightening and he wasn’t it. When he rescued her from one of her would-be protectors later, she was grateful. Then, when he cleared a path for her as she was leaving the theater, she was even more grateful. She appreciated him, but that was as far as it would ever go. Or, so she thought.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Coll and Persephone dance around each other – and learning to love each other. I loved seeing Coll’s perceptive views of Persephone – because he knew there was more to her than it seemed. Then, when she was in danger, he’d move heaven and earth to keep her safe.

I am going to assume that there will be another book in the series – maybe the parents getting their second-chance-romance. The reason I’m going to assume that is that this book would be a terrible wrap-up for the series. Too many things left unfinished – undone. If it were the last book in the series, it should definitely have had either another couple of chapters to wrap things up – or an epilogue. So, I won’t downgrade it in stars assuming that all will be wrapped up in another book.

I definitely enjoyed the read and I hope you will as well. It is excellently written and excellently executed. If by chance, you are wondering why Coll and his brothers hate the English so much, it is because their mother is English AND their father has spent the last seventeen years telling them how awful the English are and reminding them that if they need an example, all they have to do is to look at their mother. Anyway, it is a great read and I’m looking forward to at least one more book!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I couldn't wait to read Coll's story, I just knew it was going to be good! This was stay up until 1:15 in the morning to finish reading the book, I HAD to know who was behind it all. Coll is an awesome protector and when he sees Persephone is in danger he has to take care of her, no matter what anyone says. I love how the family comes together in the end to fight for each other.

This review is based on an ARC from NetGalley, courtesy of the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Wild Wicked Highlanders has been a delight. Three brothers intent on rebelling against an agreement made between their parents find what they were not looking for. Love.

This is about Coll, the oldest brother who finds trouble wherever he goes. Except in this instance he finds his match in Penelope.

Coll is loyal to his family. Well, most of them. He is daring, speaks his mind and goes after what he wants.

Penelope is a mystery. She isn't who she appears to be, and is determined to keep her secret until she comes clean.

It's nicely paced, easy and fun to read. It's a good storyline with great characters. It's been a joy reading this series and it's a shame that it's come to an end.

I received a complimentary eARC from Netgalley and the views expressed are my personal opinion.

I have really enjoyed the MacTaggert brothers' stories & am sorry to see them come to an end. They are so fun & sexy. This story didn't disappoint. Coll & Persephone make an interesting couple. I enjoyed the development of their story & seeing what has been happening with everyone else from previous books. Highly recommend this book & the whole series.

Thanks you to the publisher & NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review

Coll must marry an Englishwoman within the next four weeks- before his sister weds- or his family will lose land thanks to a complicated agreement between his estranged parents. He's the oldest of the MacTaggert brothers so I suppose it's appropriate that his is the last story told (this is fine as a standalone). His mother is after him- throwing all sorts of women in his path- but he's not found one he likes until he meets Persephone at the theater. She's smart, she's witty, she's rich, she's got a secret. AND, she's got someone who wants her dead. Coll and Persie find themselves working out the mystery even as they fall for one another. thanks to the publisher for the ARC. I read this after reading a serious thriller and it was just what I needed to perk up. Good dialogue, a fun pair, and good writing make this a fun read for fans of the genre.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.

In the final Wild Wicked Highlanders book, the eldest MacTaggert brother, Coll, Viscount Glendarril, finds himself falling for the one woman who his family can't imagine he would marry. Because of his mother's ultimatum, he only has 8 weeks to find a bride, and wed her, or face losing the money that his family's estate relies on. Meeting Mrs Persephone Jones, the famous actress, is a surprise, as is the feelings he has for her. When it's revealed that someone is out to hurt her, or worse, Coll takes it upon himself to protect her, and working together, they try to discover just who the culprit is. But, Persephone is hiding her past, and it might just come back to haunt her.

I've been waiting for Coll's story ever since we met him in It's Getting Scot in Here. He is the one who is most vehemently against Francesca's machinations, and the whole idea of marrying an Englishwoman is abhorrent to him. Being 12 when Francesca left them, he can remember her the most, and was the most hurt by the abandonment - exacerbated even more so by her never writing/ignoring his letters. Now pushing 30, he doesn't want to forgive her, and will do just about anything to stop her plans, even hiding backstage in a theatre after she brings two debutantes for him to meet. Here he meets Persephone, and as oblivious as he is to the way things are done in London, he knows that telling his mother her plans to marry her just may be a step too far, and may give him a slight reprieve. I really liked Coll's character, and the way we saw his hurt and vulnerability, hiding beneath a gruff Highlander exterior. He truly cared for his loved ones, even Francesca, and wanted to protect Persephone, no matter what, once he heard her tale. For Persephone herself, she's been alone for years, but her reputation as a renowned actress open her up to admirers, and some who can't separate her from her characters. She's hiding her past - something which I had sort of guessed at before it was truly revealed - and doesn't like asking for help, or opening herself up to vulnerabilities. In a way, she was the perfect match for Coll, and they both grew as individuals and a couple over the course of the book. Seeing their relationship play out from lust, to love, against all the odds, was wonderful, as was seeing the whole MacTaggert clan - including father Angus - together again. The only thing I felt this book was missing was an epilogue, because I wish we had seen Eloise and Coll's weddings take place, and perhaps a look in the future to how the four siblings, and their families, were doing. Even without this, though, it was still a fantastic book.

I don't really know where to start with this review. But I will start with the negatives and end with the things I did like.

Overall, I really dislike Suzanne Enochs's writing style, and the fact that we have Scottish accents really just made it unbearable. Her writing is hard to read and it is extremely stiff and filled with way too many words. It is the primary reason why I couldn't finish this and why I literally have struggled with the past two books. Like, if anything the writing is why my enjoyment of the series is so low.

I also really don't understand why we get the mom's POV and other people's POV sometimes. It is completely unnecessary. The mom is also an extremely unlikeable character and the situation that she puts her sons in is so uncalled for. She thinks that blackmailing her sons will allow them back in her life when she hasn't once reached out to them and thinks that this will help them. I could do a whole video ranting about her. While talking about the mother, she is one of the primary sources for the main conflict. She is extremely upset that Coll plans on marrying/going after an actress when she only wants them to marry English <i>ladies</i> not just English women even though that's what she states in the very beginning. All of these things just make this whole series is extremely hard to engage in, and it is so extremely sad.

I say this because I LOVE the main characters that Suzanne Enoch creates. And I love how by the time I finished the 2nd book I was looking forward to seeing Coll. I really enjoy reading from him and I really really liked the love interest Persie. I think they both would have been so cute together and I was really looking forward to reading about them. Unfortunately, when I can't get through the writing style I find it hard to engage with the characters and I truly feel robbed.

If I liked the writing style more, there is no doubt that these books could have been 4 stars, but unfortunately, they are excruciating to get through. Maybe I will try again when there are audiobooks but who knows.

This third story started out slower for me and was a little different from the first two books, which was okay. It was the same premise as the others where each of three brothers had to have an English bride before their younger sister married as a result of an agreement between their parents. Coll just happened to find his bride, Persie, in an unexpected place much to the horror of his mother.

There was lots of action, mystery and humour and of course a happily ever after.

To start off I would like to thank Netgalley and St. Martins Press for providing us a copy with this book so we could bring you this review.

The hardest and most stubborn of the MacTaggert group finally finds his feisty English bride. Persephone is amazing she isn't afraid to do things for herself. She doesn't need a man, but strikes up a deal with Coll to help make her life easier after he helps her out. I loved how Coll is with her and learns, and the best thing about it is the great reveal of who Persephone really is.

I gave this book 5 kisses,

Happy Reading... Adri

I have to say, I have read a lot of Suzanne's books and this series is one of my favorites.
Who doesn't like big strong Highlander's defending and protecting women? All of the MacTaggert males are swoon worthy but Col, Viscount Glenarril is the best. He is also the oldest and biggest.
A mountain of a man who is use to using his fists to solve problems at home in the Highlands.
Now that he is in London due to his mother and father signing a deal seventeen years ago.
He has not seen or heard from his mother since she took Eloise his baby sister and returned to London leaving him and his two brothers with their father. All three brothers must find a English wife before their sister marries or his mother, Lady Aldriss will cut off the money that helps his people back home. The last thing he wants or needs is a tiny, shy English bride who is half afraid of him and his size.
Then by accident he is run into by one Persephone Jones, actress at the theater that his mother took him to then had two English young ladies waiting for him. He left her box and ended up in the wings behind the scenes of the play. Persephone, Persie is the top actress in London right now.
As Col and Persie get to know each other, he uses her name to throw is mother off.
There is so much going on with these two as they get to know each other. Someone is out to hurt
Persie and Col is there to make sure they don't. The attraction between the two is wonderful to watch grow. The family helps make this story. The characters are great.
This story has a little bit of everything, the romance is sooo good, suspense, secrets on both sides and family. I hope you give it a try. I would suggest you read the books in order as the history makes the stories better.
I received an ARC from the author and want to thank her. This is my honest opinion and am voluntarily giving it.

I always enjoy reading about close family units and Suzanne Enoch is great at writing them.
This book is third and probably the last in the series of the MacTaggert brothers (Wild Wicked Highlanders) and is about the eldest son, Coll MacTaggert, Viscount Glendarril. He is handsome, honourable, blunt, huge and the most stubborn and resistant of the three brothers forced to find wives from among the “delicate hothouse English ladies”.

Coll has not had an easy time of it since his arrival to arrival. It’s been 8 weeks and there have been incidents where he has been rude to the ladies, fought some men and even run out in Grosvenor Square naked. He has 4 weeks to find a bride and stumbles across the heroine, Persephone Jones, an actress. The attraction between them is instant, but both hold off for their personal reasons initially. When Persephone finds herself under threat, she immediately seeks Coll out. He agrees to be her protector while she offers to help him navigate the ton to find a bride. I liked that both characters start off believing they are using one another but that as soon as Coll finds himself feeling more for Persephone, he acts on it. He claims to be a straightforward person and it shows. It was refreshing not to have to read any unnecessary angst. Even Persephone’s reluctance was understandable, given her past and her secrets. Their relationship progresses sweetly; he is protective but not overbearing, she is strong minded but concerned for his problems and appreciative of his efforts.

Persephone is also a great heroine. She is a self-made success in London. She is practical, knowing that the life she left behind she can never return to, intelligent and strong. She loves her new life and what she does and is open with the hero of it from the beginning.

I also liked how the author dealt with Coll’s relationship with his mother. He’s the one who remembers life when she was in Scotland and the one who is most resentful of her actions. He doesn’t let a moment go where he doesn’t remind her of her abandonment. Good for him! I haven’t read the first two books, so I do not know how the mother is portrayed there. As the last of the brothers, one would assume if there would be any redemption from her over the past actions or even the present ones, they would be resolved here in full. We get some explanations for her past actions. She didn’t completely abandon her sons, wrote many letters over the years that they never received and acknowledged that she should haven’t let pride get in her way of visiting them. However, the way she had her sons coming to London made me hate her. She never apologized or acknowledged that she was wrong in any way. She essentially blackmailed good men the loss of their estate, and its people’s future, if they didn’t do as she wanted. That made her irredeemable to me and I liked that the author also portrayed that in Col’s character, as he does not seem to completely forgive her by the end like his brothers had.

This book is fast paced, amusing and a great fun read. There is enough drama between the characters, family issues, a mysterious villain, secret identities and romance to keep one turning the pages! The conclusion- the villain’s reveal as well as Persephone’s secrets were dramatic but not farfetched and very satisfying. I also loved how both characters compromised for their future together.


**Thank you to Net galley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for a review. Thoughts and opinions expressed here are honest and completely my own.**

The story is wonderful and exciting. Lady Aldriss is the wife of Angus and mother to Eloise, Naill, Aden, and Coll who is a viscount because his father is an Earl. Their parents signed an agreement that they had to come to England to find English wives and husband. Lady Aldriss took her daughter and left Scotland. Leaving her three boys behind.
Naill and Aden had found wives but if Coll the oldest, doesn't find one by the time their young sister marries they will lose the funding for the Scotland property. Twenty-seven days is all the time he has left.
So many things happen in this tale. It is well written, easy to read with lots of action. Coll and Persie start to get to know each other and he protects her. Someone is trying to hurt Persephone Jones. Sandbags fall, a bucket of bricks fall, her house is burned down, her coach is forced off the road and into a water-filled ditch and just so much danger. She is afraid that someone else will get hurt. I recommend this book if you like good reading and want a novel to keep your attention, this is a good one.
I received an ARC from Net Galley and voluntarily reviewed it.

Some men don't know how to take a hint.

Her life is making me tired.

Haha, poor Gavin!

It seems like she knows who might be after her. Was she born an aristocrat?

Well, that's one way to break up a reception! Poor thing!

Why would he make it up?

Aw, Francesca and Angus still love each other.

Her parents are twats.

Money and greed.

"Hit Me with Your Best Scot" by Suzanne Enoch
I was hooked before I finished reading the first chapter and never wanted to miss anything the story wanted to share from start to finish. Yes, there is a wee bit of spice but you can skip over it because you really don't want to miss this entrancing, exciting, story. Never a dull moment. Happy Reading ! !
Note: I received an ARC of this story from the publisher via NetGalley. This review is my honest opinion.

I am so sorry. I accepted this widget and totally forgot that I don’t love this series. I’m so sorry that I wasted it for you!

HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SCOT by Suzanne Enoch is a combination of laugh-out-loud fun and very, very serious I’m-falling-in-love-with-Coll sensuality!

Suzanne Enoch is such a talented writer and HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SCOT is yet another example of her delightful talent. I adore her sense of humor and her sterling characters always make her novels sparkle.

Persephone Jones has amazing talent on the stage and secrets to keep when off the stage. She is proud and resourceful, beautiful and obviously educated — but she keeps having accidents and mishaps that seem a little too frequent.

Coll McTaggert is a brawny, handsome Highlander in London to find a woman to wed, all because an agreement was made between his parents, years ago, that is forcing his hand. His brothers have both found love during their search and Coll wants the same— but he only has four weeks to do it!

HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SCOT also includes a mystery to be solved but that doesn’t detract from the romance— it heightens it. The character interactions are wonderful: loving, supportive, funny. The Scottish dialect used throughout the book is easy to understand, unlike that of some writers who mangle it to the point of being indecipherable.

There is so much to love about this delightful novel. I was thrilled to receive a pre-release copy via NetGalley but the free part did not affect my review— it was 5 stars all the way through! I did not read the previous novels in the series and felt this book was a perfect stand-alone. However, now that I’ve read HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SCOT, I’m off to purchase those previous books, as well!

Coll meets Persephone backstage of a play when he plots his escape from his matchmaking mother. Although Coll is a highlander, he is in London to fulfill the terms of a marriage bargain between his English mother and his Scottish father. With time running out, Coll announces to his mother that he intends to wed Persephone, the actress. This information is the basis of "Hit Me With Your Best Scot".
This was such a fun read! Suzanne Enoch is a talented author who put the "romance" and the "comedy" in this exceptional rom-com! The characters were engaging, the storyline interesting and the book entertaining. The historical whodunit took this reader on a suspenseful ride filled with twisting turns and sensual romance. 5 stars!
