Some like it Scot - Suzanne Enoch

Nineteenth-century, Scotland:

When a mad lass in trousers shoots at him, Munro "Bear" MacLawry isn't sure what impresses him more-the girl's sure aim or her irresistibly tempting curves. Catriona MacColl has fled to the Highlands with her half-sister to escape an unwanted wedding, and wants no part of him, nor any man. But he can't abandon the flame-haired, sharp-tongued wildcat now that he's discovered her-not when she fits so perfectly in his arms...

Munro has more than earned his nickname-he's a well-muscled, well-favored mountain of a man with an engaging bad-boy grin and a string of well-satisfied lasses behind him. Bringing Catriona food, blankets, candles, everything she needs to survive a winter in an abandoned abbey, Munro is an unexpected gift in her reckless bid for freedom-and an unexpected complication. Clan MacDonald has plans for her, and they don't include her falling for a MacLawry. But this man makes her feel like a woman-and he may be her one chance to live a life about which she's only dared dream...

My thoughts:

First I must say that the accent was a bit too heavy for me at times. Sometimes they use bits and pieces, but here it was all the time. And well, it takes sometime getting used too. I need time to get into things like that.

Second, wow, they so fitted each other! Munro is a bear of a man. All grrr. While Cat was, well a woman raised as a boy since her dad wanted one. And it worked out so perfectly. He did not need some dainty thing. He needed someone who could shoot, hold her own and argue with him. So yes I did see the attraction here.

The story is about her and her sister hiding from an unwanted marriage. Her sister the dainty debutante. Munro finds them and wants to protect them. I also met his siblings. They have had their own HEAs already (and those sound pretty interesting btw.)

Conclusion:

There are secrets, romance and lots of Scots running around. There is never anything wrong with with lots Scots in kilts :)

Romance Friday: A Lady's Guide to Improper Behavior - Suzanne Enoch

The Rules:

A lady should always make polite conversation ...

Theresa Weller understands the rules of decorum, and is appalled when Colonel Bartholomew James disrupts a perfectly civilized dinner. This rude, insensitive man is the complete opposite of everything a gentleman should be — but with one searing kiss, Tess can think of no one else. 

A lady should never lose her temper ...

Aggravated beyond bearing by a man who speaks his mind, Tess wishes there was a guide to men like Bartholomew. Surely, with such an assortment of handsome, polite suitors to choose from, Tess should not ache for him. 

A lady should never pursue a gentleman. 

She invites him on carriage rides and dares him to dance, and almost makes him want to return to Society. Bartholomew knows Tess wants to be seen as a proper miss, but deep down, he knows she is precisely the sort to spark his desire ... A most improper lady.

My thoughts:

This was just so fun! And different.

Theresa is a proper lady and she does everything right. She even wrote a book about it. Now she does sound dull, but trust me she is not. She meets Tolly and throws caution to the wind. She pursues him, a lady should not pursue a gentleman. She does everything she should not do, and I loved her for it. You go girl!

Tolly is one of those brooding heroes. But he has a reason. Everyone in his company was killed and he was left for dead. Now he has a leg that is practically falling of, he is very close to losing it. He is bitter, angry and the last thing he needs is some happy chit telling him what to do. But who can resist sunshine after thunder. He starts to fall for her.

They were so perfect together. Grumpy and Happy. And finally a hero who has a real reason to be sullen.

One thing though, we meet someone in this book, the Duke of Sommerset, and when I finished this book I had to check but sad! He has no book! It was even a FAQ on her webpage, so fingers crossed for him getting a book one day.

Conclusion:

Back to our happy couple, because they will get their HEA and I am happy. Really enjoyable.
