Ratings and reviews

I loved Coll and Persie’s amazing love story in Hit Me With Your Best Scot by Suzanne Enoch, book three in her Wild, Wicked Highlanders series. The MacTaggert brothers learned only recently that the eldest must marry or they would lose their ancestral estate. The eldest, Coll, has refused to be interested, let alone marry, any woman their mother selected for him. This brawny, stubborn Highlander does not like to be told what to do. When Coll comes to rescues of a beautiful woman, he just might have found his match. Persephone, Persie, Jones is famous, wealthy, independent, intelligent, and might be the perfect challenge to Coll. Persie is not interested in marry any man, especially the hot-headed Scot who understands who she really is; even if she is not sure herself. Coll is the first person Persie confides in about her actual past. She was a wealthy lady who left everything, after her parents accepted a marriage proposal from an abusive man, old enough to be her father. When Coll discovers someone is trying to kill Persie for what she is to inherit, he decides to be her protector, bodyguard. Nothing will come between this Highlander and his lady once their hearts are involved. I loved how strong and independent Persie was; never expecting to return to her old life. There was so much more to Coll than was shown in the earlier books of this series and early in this one. He might have been stubborn, but he was passionate about those he cared for and his family. He did not like seeing people being mistreated wrongly; whether it was correct or not, he was going to interfere to make things right. Ms. Enoch wrote an emotionally rich and moving story transporting her readers to historical London and a peek at the Highlands. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters that are not to be missed. I found both Coll and Persie loveable, stubborn heroes, unwilling to settle for less than each other. I highly recommend Hit Me With Your Best Scot to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Thanks go to the publisher and Net-Galley for the complimentary electronic copy of Hit me with Your Best Scot by Suzanne Enoch. A delightful Regency romance. I voluntarily agreed to read and review this delightful Regency novel. My opinions are my own, and nothing has influenced my rating of this book. Hit me with Your Best Scot is a well-written romantic tale set in Regency London with compelling characters and a satisfying plot. The pacing pulled me into the story from the first page to the last. Ms. Enoch does a fine job of giving me enough description to become enmeshed in the glittering society of this period. Persephone Jones is the heroine of this romance, and she has plenty of grit which has helped her thrive in the theatre world of Drury Lane. She holds her secrets tight and doesn’t give many clues to them. I found her fascinating and enjoyed her character a great deal. She’s definitely a woman ahead of her time, but life has made her that way. Coll MacTaggert, Viscount Glenarril is a fantastic hero who only wants to do the right thing for the people of his clan, dependent on him. He’s come to London to satisfy his mother who has tied up much needs funds for the clan. She’s demanded he take a bride, and if he doesn’t find one soon it will have dreadful consequences. When he meets Persephone, he is entranced, and it was clear where the story would lead. After all, it’s romance, so that predictability did not take away from my reading enjoyment. The romance between Persephone and Coll is combustible from their first meeting. While I loved this, the romance does develop between them at lightning speed, so while I did enjoy their love story, I would have preferred it to develop over a longer period of time to make it more believable. I also would have enjoyed a bit more sexual tension between the main characters, which Regency romances are so well known for, and this is the only reason I did not give this novel a top rating. If you enjoy Regency romances with characters that will take you on a sensual romp between the sheets and has an intricately woven plot, then you will love Hit me with Your Best Scot. There’s plenty going on in this tale to love. It’s been some time since I’ve read one of Ms. Enoch’s books, and I’m glad I accepted the invitation from the publisher. I will look at the other two books in this series, since this one is the conclusion, and I found the other two MacTaggert brothers and their lady loves intriguing. Happy reading!

Col MacTaggert, Viscount Glendarril, is the eldest son, his parents are the Scottish,Angus MacTaggert, Earl Aldriss and his very English wife, Francesca Oswell- MacTaggert. They both made this stupid agreement when he was eleven years old! His parents had been a love match though they are now estranged. The agreement was that all their sons would marry English brides like their mum. This would be before their wee sister Eloise married a man of her choice. The problem for Col is his sister had been engaged for two months now and he only has twenty-seven days to find a bride! His Countess mother had outsmarted his Da and has control of all of the money and kept the Oswell inheritance in her name to command it at will. Most of the Lassies his mother was shoving in his face were right out of the school room, even the ones a bit more mature were raised with proper English etiquette, including how to run a household, pick the right menu, and might even be good enough with mathematics to help with the accounts. Yet Col’s problem is not one of the Lassie’s his mum was throwing at him ever took a step in bonnie Scotland! They never took in in the breathtaking highland mountains, forests, beautiful loch’s, romping in the heather where his future sons would be picking thistles for their mum and his wee lassies would be making a bouquet from Scottish wildflowers. It was where he wanted to raise his Scottish bairns in the untamed and jagged land where he ken his heart truly did belong. At first he is a stud in hiding from all the English debutants that only want his title and weatlth. His English mum is annoying him with her demands to have her eldest son in a legal and binding marriage which means he must wed and consummate some wench. If he doesn’t do this nasty deed his family will lose land which only puts more pressure on Col! Plus he really hates being pushed around and told what to do with his life, Ironically he discovers the woman of his dreams quite by accident as a bonny damsel in distress that he saves. Except there is one big problem, this beauty does not want to marry any man! Persephone (Persie) Jones is near perfection! Well not just in looks, but in her mind too, she is intelligent, smart, rich, witty and her own person! Absolutely perfect for Col except one problem, she does not want to depend on any man, as she definitely doesn’t want to marry any man too. Persie is also not a big sharer and is definitely keeping something from Col besides the fact this woman is also in hiding from someone who wants to murder her! It all has to do with her wealth and what she will inherit. So what will Col do to convince this bonnie lass to marry him and share her secrets so he can protect the woman who owns his heart? They both are falling in love but will Col be able to convince Persie that they are each other’s destiny? Read and find out the conclusion of this phenomenal trilogy! I have been reading Suzanne Enoch for a couple decades and she never disappoints. As I always get swept away in her stories, which I never want to put down. Another great thing is you can read any of her stories as a stand alone book too. Plus it is always a fast paced, action packed, page turner filled with a riveting romantic adventure, suspense, mystery, treachery, mayhem, villains, trust, joy, faith and love. I am always a little sad reading the last book in her series, however I hope she is mapping out her next book and Scottish historical series. As the book the setting was exhilarating, dialogue was amazing, the multidimensional characters were extraordinary. The plotting just took my breath away and had me gasping for air! This book was a total masterpiece. I highly recommend this fantastic book that readers will absolutely love! Disclaimer: was sent this an advance copy by the publisher. I voluntarily agreed to do an honest and fair review and blog through netgalley. All ideas, thoughts and words are my own.
