Ratings and reviews

In HOW A LASS WED A HIGHLANDER, Lecia Cornwall gives delightful and whimsical twists to the classic fairytale The Princess and the Pea. I felt the sex scene clashed with the lyricism and the tone of the story, which genuinely read like a fairytale: light, fresh, and so lovely. Everything else is magnificent: the lush prose, the attention to detail, the crisp descriptions, the splendid secondary characters, the adorable Cait and the engaging Alex, and the spin on the pea is positively brilliant. Anna Harrington is next with her fabulous A MATCH MADE IN HEATHER. This story is so emotional, and so meticulously crafted it felt more like a condensed novel than a novella. The characters are fully fleshed out, no detail is neglected, and we get the whole story behind the sorry mess. Ms. Harrington conveys Scottish pride as I have seldom seen, and there is a wonderful and completely unexpected moment when we feel the ice begin to melt between Garrick and Arabel; it was charming and felt completely genuine. This is a very beautifully written, engrossing grand love story that held me captive throughout. A MIDSUMMER WEDDING by May McGoldrick is a marvellous, mesmerising, and enthralling story. There is such a lovely, gentle touch to the prose, a refined elegance and wit, and yet the action scenes are breathtaking in their authenticity and impression of movement. I was so completely immersed in this story, that the outside world faded away for a while. The ending is dramatic and, as everything else in this story, absolute perfection. The last novella is Sabrina York’s THE SCOT SAYS I DO. Although I got the impression that this novella fit somewhere in a series, there were so many secondary characters, which were marvellous. I thought there was too much happening in this novella, and not enough emphasis was put on creating some connection between Catherine and Duncan, beside a sexual one. On the other hand, they are a fine match because they are both consumed by lust; this was not a love story, but a lust story. I was really impressed by the quality of the writing, the choice vocabulary and the impeccable dialogues. May McGoldrick, who are a writing team and were new to me, would have made this anthology a five-star read regardless of the other novellas because I was astonished by the charm that permeates the whole story, the magnificent period details, the cleverness of the plot; in short the utter perfection of A MIDSUMMER WEDDING. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

This is a wonderful collection of books that I just loved. Each story was better than the last and kept me turning pages just as quickly as possible. Each author created a delightful set of characters and made me fall in love with them. While all of the books were great, my personal favorite was The Scot Says I Do, by Sabrina York. This is an engaging story that also highlights some of the real challenges women faced during the time period. However, it is told as only the Queen of Hotness can tell a tale. While the heat is a bit tamer than many of her books, the story is a must read. If you enjoy a Highland romance, you will love this collection. Put this one at the top of your TBR, you'll be glad you did.

'Say Yes to the Scot' is a box set with 4 different stories with a total of 410 pages long. I not sure how you could go wrong with this box set! It's the collection of some of the best authors for Historical Romance. Also it is a great way to meet new authors....this gives you a taste of their writing style. I always love box set too for when I need a quick romance fix while waiting for an appointment or for a quick book for bed.
