Scot Under The Covers, by Suzanne Enoch

Scot Under the Covers is the second installment in the Wild Wicked Highlander's series and tells the story of the elusive middle brother Aden McTaggert. Our thanks to PBC Library System for lending this title.

Review:

The series is about three highlander brothers who were summoned to England by their estranged mother and forced to seek English brides or face the ruin of their Scottish estate.

Aden is known to enjoy a gamble and likes to keep his own counsel in most things. He has a difficult relationship with his mother, and cannot forgive her for abandoning him and his brothers seventeen years ago (honestly, I cannot blame him. I hope the reasons for her actions will justify it all by the end of the series, as she seems to be a very fine lady).

He intends to convince his mother to give up on marrying them to English ladies and to go back to the highlands. Things change when he meets Miranda Harris, his little sister's future sister-in-law.

Miranda dislikes Aden by principle (she hates gamblers) and, differently from almost any other woman Aden has met in the past, does not want anything to do with him.

After seeing herself tangled in a huge mess caused by her gambling brother, Miranda ends up seeking Aden's counsel and discovers there is more to him than what shows on the surface.

The couple has great chemistry and I enjoyed their bantering. It has some wonderful side characters: \his older brother Coll (who is my favorite), Brogan (a stray dog), and the villain, Captain Vale. His sister and her fiance are a little flat, I'm hoping for a book for her where she meets someone else ;)

I can't wait for the next book in this lovely series!
