Another MacTaggert Brother falls in love.
Laird MacTaggart never told his sons that he'd made a bargain with his ex-wife about their marriages. Two down and the eldest is left. The most stubborn! Coll MacTaggert, Viscount Glendarril, is determined to choose his own bride, and an English rose is not his choice.
He meets an actress, the perfect revenge bride...but then she becomes much more to him...before he finds out her past. He needs to protect her from a determined killer, one neither of them can identify. When the ashes settle, he is determined she is the only one for him.
Great historical romance with heat and humor. It was over before I knew it.
I requested and received a Netgalley ARC ..much to my delight, and offer my opinion freely.

By the time you get to the end of a series, you think you know what to expect from a book, but this story of Coll MacTaggert, Viscount Glendarril, and Persephone Jones brought some interesting changes to the formula author Suzanne Enoch had used with the other MacTaggert brothers in The Wild Wicked Highlanders trilogy. 

As actress Persephone begins production of The Scottish Play, Coll becomes her protector in every sense of the word. Fortunately, neither is particularly interested in pretending that their chemistry doesn't exist. The only question is what to do with it. An actress isn't the appropriate wife for a Viscount, but he has to marry within the month or risk losing the financial support his estate needs.

As they navigate their feelings, the threat to her life, and his obligation to his family, the author takes us on a wonderful journey to a surprise Happily Ever After.

Hit Me with Your Best Scot

This is the third book in the MacTaggart series. Niall, Aden and Coll were raised in Scotland by their father. Their English mother is determined to find them English brides. They must wed before their sister’s wedding. Aden and Niall find their own brides. ( It’s Getting Scot in Here and Scot Under the cCovers.) Coll has 2 weeks to find a bride. He is a giant of a Scotsman—- and his antics are amusing. The three brothers are loyal to each other, as well as brawny and brave.

Lady Aldriss keeps parading young women before Coll and drags him to balls. But he is not interested. The latest attempt is at the theater — he escapes and finds himself back stage while Persephone Jones is performing. She intrigues him.

Coll decides to tell his mother he has found his bride —- an actress! As he spends more time with “Persie”, they develop feelings for each other. She has secrets and he saves her life several times. Coll is determined to keep her safe.

I enjoyed this book for the characters, plot, humor and romance. Susan Enoch is one of my favorite authors and her books give me great pleasure to read. I received an ARC from NetGalley For my honest opinion — buy the book! You won’t be disappointed!

4.5 Stars!

When Coll’s parents separated seventeen years ago, they signed an agreement that all three older McTaggert brothers would be married before their little sister or lose the money for the estate from their mother’s family fortune. Two have fallen into the parson’s trap, now the heir has only four weeks to find a bride. Unwilling to let his mother throw the perfect English wife at him, Coll finds the one woman in London his mother would never approve of.

Persephone Jones is the toast of the London theater scene. When Coll finds himself backstage at one of her performances, he realizes why every man with a pulse would want her. After a few peers end up bloody at Coll’s hands, Persephone Jones finds Coll as her new protector. The woman has a secret though, one that someone is willing to kill her over. When too many coincidences add up to a plot to kill her, Coll fights to protect Persephone at all costs.

While protecting and cherishing the time they spend together, the pair find they are actually pretty perfect for each other. If only Persephone didn’t have a murderer after her. If only Coll’s mother could see it was the woman and not her bloodline that mattered.

From instant chemistry to the perfect match, Hit Me with Your Best Scot is an amazing end to a steamy series. The instant click between Coll and Persephone is sweet yet lustful. The duo sizzles on the page whether they are fighting for their lives or caught in a passionate moment. The end will surprise you, but in the best way possible. And the McTaggert brothers lived happily ever after.

I received Hit Me With Your Best Scot for free. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an advance reader copy of this story.

Hit Me With Your Best Scot, by Suzanne Enoch, will be available in booksellers on 2-9-2021. We've come to the end of The Wild Wicked Highlanders trilogy. Ms Enoch saved the best brother, to me, for last. Coll is a big brawny Scott. He's headstrong and use to being in charge. He meets an actress and she leads him a complicated chase. I give him credit for sticking to his guns. He knows what he wants and damn the fallout. Our heroine is not what she seems and won't get in Colls way, he has to marry. I've been waiting for Colls story and it didn't disappoint. If you remember, Coll is the one who ran out of the house naked with a big sword (giggle) in a previous story. What an enjoyable read.

Hit Me With Your Best Scot is one of my favorite romances of the year. The characters were wonderfully entertaining, the suspense kept me on the edge of my seat, and the mystery within this story made me stay up to finish this wonderful tale. This author knows the ingredients to a great read, and she stirs everything together to make me want to come back for more and more. I received an advanced reader's copy from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

This series was a suspenseful and intriguing with a steamy side of hottness. The way the prior characters were woven in made it easy to continue the story line.

This book is an enjoyable, witty read. Coll and Persephone make a great couple, which definitely keeps his mother and London on their toes. Whether running into or out of trouble, there's rarely a dull moment.

It was evident from the start that this book is part of a series. It is a fun read without reading the other books, but I could tell that I was missing jokes and running themes. I would have liked this book even better if I had read the other two books first, especially seeing as I missed the scene where Coll ran down a street naked, swinging a claymore around.

Coll is an interesting character as he is gleefully violent, punching anyone that he feels deserves it. He is also a conscientious giant who does not push for more than women wish to give. That doesn't stop him from playing stupid just to terrify the London wallflowers that annoy him. I loved how protective he is of Persephone without being too overbearing.

Persephone can definitely hold her own against Coll, and their banter keeps the book lively. Finding her own way in the world requires strength, but she is not too proud to accept help when she knows that she needs it. She is a chameleon who can blend in or stand out as she chooses. She is a delightful heroine.

The plot is fast-paced, and even with the danger, it remains light-hearted. The MacTaggert brothers know how to steal the scene, whether driving their mother to distraction, wooing their ladies, or horrifying the Ton.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am planning on looking for the first two in the series. I look forward to reading more books by Suzanne Enoch.

Suzanne Enoch knows how to write a Scottish hero. I love her books and this was no exception. Every time I read, one of her books, I know it will be an enjoyable read.

So much love for this one!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How great is this title anyway? The author really hit the mark with this book and series as a whole. I just love reading this author and she is quickly becoming a go-to favorite of mine!

Hit Me With Your Best Scot is wonderfully unique and just a refreshing, fun story. The characters are developed with deeply crafted detail and are so likable you really want the story to just keep going and going. Even though we have an awesome outcome, I want to read more!

This story is engaging and packed with energy that makes it hard to put it down. With splashes of romance, suspense, mystery, twists of all types, and in-depth detail, you find yourself with a rare and unique treat of a book.

Written with a nod towards old English/Gaelic language from Coll who is fresh from the Highlands, Enoch sets the stage with the right atmosphere for this story. Looking for a bride is not an easy task until he finds just the right person to help him land a Lady; or so he thinks.

Their connection is perfect and I love that they are intelligent and not what you expect. This is such a delightful book! I feel like I am gushing, I loved it so!

Definitely start from book one to get the full effect on this clan! It is worth every minute!

This is the last book in a trilogy by Suzanne Enoch. In this book we get the eldest brothers story. I did like this one it was a pretty good read. I liked the romance that grew between the two and the touch of danger was a good touch. I thought this was a good end to the trilogy.

Suzanne Enoch has been on my radar for some time as an author I've been wanting to read, and I was so excited to have the opportunity to read Hit Me With Your Best Scot. While I enjoyed the story, I wasn't overly impressed with it, not like I hoped or expected to be.

Coll and Persephone were both extremely likable characters as individuals and as a couple. They should have blown me away, but unfortunately, they fell flat for me. Their chemistry wasn't as tangible as I would have liked, nor was their banter and repartee as entertaining. Everything was so close....but not quite there.

Also, the mystery/suspense aspect was a tad predictable or at least not very engaging for me.

I enjoyed the secondary characters and I have a feeling I would enjoy the first two books of the series. I'll be giving Suzanne Enoch another try.

Cute story. I'm probably going to go back and find the other two stories.. The "twist" didn't really surprise me. Enjoyable story.

Fun!!! This was a great read with a few unexpected twists that I truly enjoyed! The characters were well written and completely delightful. I enjoyed how all the frayed storylines came together in a fantastic well round story.

*Arc sent for review

Hit Me With Your Best Scot...um...see…

*taps mike* Hello, My name is Brittany B, and...and...and I’ve fallen in love with Coll MacTaggert and I want to marry him.

So yeah...Coll MacTaggert, the Viscount of Glendarril...tall. Hot as hell. Talks in a deep brogue. I can’t understand half the stuff he’s saying, but I don’t care...I can listen to him talk all day and never get bored whatsoever. And he fights with his hands, which is a good thing. But what does a Highlander like him do when he walks backstage during a play and falls for an actress named Persephone Jones?

Basically: “Och,Máthair,I’m going to marry her!”

*cue gasps and groans and omg whys*

BUT it actually works out with them, because they fall in love...after finding out that Persephone is being targeted for something, and honestly, it’s pretty stupid really, and then we find out that Persephone Jones is Temperance Hartwood, a woman who was once supposed to get married to an old man, but he was horrible so she left and became an actress.

And somehow, someway...someone is trying to kill her.

Maybe because of the Shakespearian characters she plays….or because she’s the daughter of a lord...but whatever it is, someone is trying to kill her. Coll, even though he’s supposed to be looking for a wife, is actually trying to help her figure it out before he actually finds one, actually falls in love with her, and the two are about to get married at the end (or announced that they are)

I loved this book so much that glad that I’ve gotten an arc because the book was SO GOOD. I loved the characters and action and everything (yes, including Coll. Did I mention him? No? Okay, then I’m mentioning him again because HE’S MY HUSBAND NOW OKAY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.)

I have read all three of the Wild Wicked Highland books and I have really enjoyed them all. This has been a great series. This story is about Coll MacTaggert, Viscount Glendarril and he doesn’t like being told what to do. His English mother is determined to see her eldest son wedded and bedded. But when he comes to the rescue of a beautiful woman. Persephone Jones is hiding because someone is trying to kill her for what she will inherit. Coll decides to help her fight. I really enjoyed the chemistry between this two is great. I really enjoyed the plot. I am not giving spoilers because I want you to enjoy reading it.

Great to read Enoch's version of Historical Romance. I think the Audiobook will bring the accent to the next level. I enjoyed the series overall.
