Witty, frequently hilarious with the prescribed villain and hero!
A Scot Under the Covers( Wild Wicked Highlanders #2)
by Suzanne Enoch
I have to say I SO enjoyed renewing my acquaintance with this series featuring the wild wicked highlanders--the MacTaggert Brothers.
Continuing the story about three brawny alpha males being dragged to London by their Sassenach mother to marry English women before their sister Eloise is married, else forfeit continued financial support for Aldriss Park and the people of Clan Ross. Something the three men couldn't bear to let happen. Francesca Oswell-MacTaggert ended up with three very disgruntled sons. As their mother, Francesca controlled the purse strings for their Highland home, the three men obeyed the injunction, not without setting about to cause as much angst and disruption as possible.
Aden MacTaggert has delighted in showing how uncouth he is but when Miranda Harris, the sister of Eloise's fiancé Matthew, asked for his help, he gave it. Mathew it seems had been fleeced badly in cards by an out and out bouncer, Captain Robert Vale. Vale's price for the gambling notes is marriage to Miranda. After discovering her brother's perfidy Mia decides she "needed a word with one of the wolves." Aden ways It! The description of Mia stalking the reluctant Aden at the ball is rather hilarious. Mia is certainly a determined person when needs must.
Of course things become exciting and unpredictable. After all the MacTaggerts are involved. I cheered for Miranda and Aden, personally thought Mathew a wretch who was too easily forgiven. I actually hoped that Eloise would give him notice, not go all 'There There Dear.' After all the man just sold his sister to a card sharp for goodness sake! In fact Matthew would have to walk on broken glass for me to forgive him.
Witty, with just the right amount of pathos and daring do. This is a well coined successor to the first in the series!
