I am voluntarily submitting my honest review after receiving an ARC of this ebook via NetGalley. This novel features a unique plotline that is engaging from the very start. In this historical romance, Lady Aisla Montgomery returns to Scotland after spending six years in France to seek a divorce from her estranged husband, Niall Maclaren. She finds a man much changed from the one she left, and the Niall she returns to is not ready to give up on their relationship. Sparks fly as they reacquaint themselves, settle old scores and decide if their marriage is worth saving. Although some of the characters do make appearances in previous works by these authors, this is the first book in the Tartans & Titans series. This is the first book by Howard and Morgan that I have read, and I was able to follow the story with no problems at all. The novel starts off a bit slow, but picks up in the middle and includes lots of fun banter, great chemistry, funny mishaps, danger, intrigue and of course, romance. This is a good read for fans of historical fiction, particularly those with a penchant for hunky Scottish Highlanders, and I'm looking forward to more in this series.

This is the first of a new series but features Niall & Aisla who we met in My Scot, My Surrender, I’m thrilled that Niall has his story. At the end of the previous story Niall & Aisla had just returned from their elopement & were expecting a baby, this story begins six years later & the pair are estranged. Niall Maclaren is now the Laird of Tarbendale the estate he has bought from Sorcha, his sister after proving he could make the estate profitable. Aisla is living in Paris & known as Lady Aisla Montgomery. When Aisla returns to Scotland to sever ties, Niall agrees on one condition—one week with him for every year of desertion. Six weeks as his wife in his castle...in his bed...in exchange for her freedom. Another very good page turning read from the authors. A story of second chances, Niall has totally changed from the young whisky drinking man, Aisla has become far more independent & has grown in confidence. Their path to their HEA isn’t smooth with accidents at the mine & misunderstandings. There’s also teasers, I hope, for further stories concerning Ronan & Makeena My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

How often do we get a second chance at love? For Alisa and Niall, it could happen. Married young and then separated for six years (why you ask? will have to find out!) Aisla has been living in Paris and decided she wants to remarry, but has one problem. She must divorce her husband first. Returning to Scotland to confront Niall, she finds he is not as willing as she thought. The only way he will grant her the divorce is that she live with him as a wife for six weeks and then he will give her the freedom she is asking. That seems simple but there is so much more to this story. Mystery, humor and of course strong emotions that come to the surface as someone tries to harm Niall and his family. Will they be able to reconcile and love each other? A wonderful story not to be missed and cannot wait for more in this series!
