paddlefoot55 's review for:

Some Like It Scot by Suzanne Enoch
4.0

ARC received from publisher via Netgalley for an honest review

This is the 4th book in the Scandalous Highlanders series, but I have not read the first 3. This, however, did not take away from my enjoyment of Some Like It Scot.

I am a sucker for a sexy scotsman - seriously, my dream holiday is to go to Scotland, stand in the street and just listen to them talk!

Cat and her sister Elizabeth are on the run from a very unsuitable engagement. Cat has secrets she is hiding even from her sister. She is a tomboy,

Munro "Bear" McLawry, brother to the head of the clan, and somewhat the black sheep of the family. And boy did I like the man! I loved how he stood up to his family, went for what he wanted no matter the consequences.

Now, it may just be that I haven't (yet) read the first 3 books, but boy I found his family (except his sister) very hypocritical! They blasted Bear for what he does, but it was no different wot what they had all done in the past. That irritated me no end, so much I wanted to jump into my kindle and slap them with a lump of 2x4!

Bear and Cat really made this story for me. The attraction, the tension between them is off the charts. I loved the bickering, the snarky remarks. Loved how Bear embedded himself in Cat's life, and how - eventually - she realised that the couldn't do it all on her own, and didn't need to.

The one thing that did take me a while to get use to was the thick scottish brogue. It took me probably the first 20% to get used to it, but after that I was used to it, and eventually was reading with that accent in my head.

This is my first Suzanne Enoch read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pacing was good, the story flowed and I felt involved in Cat and Bear's lives.

I will be going back to read more of this series and Ms Enoch's work.
