BOOK REVIEW
When a Highlander and a British lady teamed up to outwit a scoundrel, love gets in the way and sets the course of destiny. Scot Under the Covers is a smart plot-driven historical romance between two individuals who go against their prejudice and stereotype to avoid a very misfortunate nuptial. This book features the blossoming romance between the second brother of McTaggert family, Aden and his soon-to-be sister-in-law, Miranda Harris.
Lady Miranda Harris was a reputable young woman whose brother, Matthew, was engaged to Eloine McTaggert. Having learned about Matthew’s gambling problem and his mounting debt to a certain wicked Captain, Robert Vale, she sought guidance from Aden McTaggert, a well-known Highlander who shared the same likeness for gambling. Plotting against Robert Vale led these two to an unlikely relationship and budding attraction. Their wit and intelligence were on par with each other making them a very handsomely suited couple. Only if Robert Vale was not in the way of each other. The story started off to a great promise, I love their chemistry and the steamy moment between these two was unparalleled. However, there was little to no development of their relationship to be seen on-page. The characters spent too much time thinking about their feelings without exploring deep into it. As a result, they had an on and off connection that was spontaneous whenever the other party was involved. Fortunately, this can be easily overlooked for the solid plot that kept the story going.
ABOUT AUTHOR
Suzanne was born in Southern California sometime in the latter half of the 20th century. In the way that some people are born knowing they want to be astronauts or cellists, Suzanne always knew she wanted to be a writer. Early dreams of becoming a zoologist and writing true stories about her adventures in Africa were crushed, however, after she viewed a television special about the world’s most poisonous snakes; she did NOT want to write about how she’d been bitten and lost a limb to a cobra. Thankfully at the same time the movie “Star Wars” premiered, and she realized that she could make up adventures and write about them, and not be eaten by deadly predators while doing research.
Suzanne is known for her humorous characters, sexy bad boys, and whip-sharp, witty dialogue. She currently resides in Placentia, California with several hundred guppies and various other tropical fish, and handful of very loud, spinach-loving finches. And her collection of action figures and statues from “Star Wars”, “Lord of the Rings”, “X-Men”, and “Pirates of the Caribbean”. Everybody needs some inspiration, after all.
