Her Scandalous Scot: A Regency Historical Romance Novel
by Jennifer Haymore, Jennifer Haymore
This was my first book by Jennifer Haymore but it won't be the last. Her Scandalous Scot is the second book in the Highland Knights series but I don't believe I missed anything by not reading book 1 first. I suppose I will find out though as I plan to pick up more books by Haymore.
I enjoyed this book. Camden McLeod is the mmc and as a Highland Knight, he is sworn to protect the crown. As the book opens, we find he has been put on a security detail in which he is protecting someone who routinely visits a brothel and the only bright spot to this is that Camden has a run in with an innocent he never expected to be there.
Lady Esme Hawkins is an author of racy romances but she will do everything she can to protect her family. Not only because she loves them...she (they) have a secret that could damage them all. Because of her writing, she carefully disguises herself so she can do research for her books. When she comes face to face with Camden, she's drawn in and doesn't refuse a kiss. Unfortunately, she has an engagement on the horizon and she can't / won't entertain thoughts around doing anything with Camden that could harm her family.
As the story picks up, Cam has decided that he wants Esme for his own. But to do so, he’ll need to give up his rakish ways, embrace his role as heir to the despicable Earl of Sutton, and snuff out a deadly threat to his brothers in arms. He also embraces Esme as she is and recognizes that everything she does isn't necessarily for herself. Because of that, he makes some questionable decisions that put Esme in a position where she is having to justify / face things she never wanted to. I'll admit, Cam was definitely a bit overbearing and made his decisions based on what he wanted and not what Esme wanted. In the end, he was trying to do what he thought was right but he definitely needed to go a different route in my opinion.
Overall, I enjoyed this story. I thought the characters were well developed and the story was interesting. If you're looking for a historical romance to pick up, I recommend picking this book up!
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy for review.
