Unappealing Liar

I really wanted to like this book. I have 3 hours left and I just can't like the heroine. I can't cheer for her because she is just so dishonest that I find her unappealing. I can't understand how the hero likes her...nothing has happened more than 4 days together.
He is a good man and does not deserve a person who would lie about being pregnant , especially when she had a lot of time to tell him the truth. He finds out the truth and then she can't understand why he is mad...really??
I just have a hard time enjoying a book that starts this dishonest. it may be the current environment, but I really hate a person that lies to get their way and does not care about other people's beleifs. Since I started writing this review I hate the heroine even more. I don't know how I am going to feel after another hour!
Don't waste the time or money, if you want characters that you can care about. Only the hero in this story is worthwhile.

My favorite in the series so far

I read a review calling the heroine an Unappealing Liar . I did not find that to be the case at all . She fibbed for a very good reason and almost immediately told the hero . I find that the fib she told made her intelligent and brave . The book reveals this reason.When reading historical romances,one must remember things were very different for women in the past .
I enjoyed This Scot if Mine very much . The author makes you feel the love the Hero and Heroine have for each other .

Sweet Love Story

Enjoyed the narrator, this was easy to listen to.
just sexy enough without being nasty. a bit of a twist at the end.

Loved this Story!

“This Scot of Mine” was a good story and, I loved the characters. The narrator sounds robotic as she reads the story however, she does get much better as the story continues. The dialogue between the main characters I felt was slightly weak but, I did enjoy most of their conversations. This is an audiobook where individual option and perception to like or dislike may differ but for myself, I enjoyed it!

Too much anxiety

I have enjoyed this series. I love the narration. Unfortunately, this one didn’t leave me feeling love for this couple. This story was never blissful. Always waiting for the shoe to drop… until the epilogue which was mostly focused on the bigger picture.

Surprisingly good

Can’t think of a better way to spend my time than to listen to books like this one.

Loved it perfectly balanced

I really enjoyed this book. It was the perfect amount of romance and great detail without being distasteful, great narrative & voices. Amazing accents! I look forward to more like this.

A Curse Trope...

If you're dedicated to the series, its a must read. I will say many of the reviews have been unfair. Obviously, the purpose of this book was twofold. 1. tie up the loose ends regarding Hunt/Clara and 2. create a bridge to the Langley sisters as (with the exception of Enid Weatherton, who should have a story *hint for SJ*) the Autenberry clan are all accounted for.

Now, that doesn't mean the plot was not exasperating. I, personally, think the curse was a little much for this series...this installment just wasn't able to carry it off. I would've preferred another threat for this couple to overcome. Examples: the former fiance following Clara to the Highlands to cause havoc; a plot to overthrow the Laird (Hunt); the vindictive mistress; etc. The curse convulted things and made Scots appear an overly superstitious lot (which wouldn't necessarily be inaccurate as much as it just made you shake your head too much).

Also, did we get resolution on the prized bull? I may have missed it but, ah well.

Overall, I rated as a four star read.

Interesting story

I don’t normally like books about Scots. This one was part of a series that really kept me interested. The only problem was I picked up in the first chapter, that in the second book the twins were both boys. In this book the twins were a boy and a girl.

Unexpected Delight

After listening to Book 3, I almost did not pursue Book 4, This Scot of Mine. Glad I changed my mind. The writing and story was a vast improvement over Book 3. Carmen Rose is always a solid narrator that added to the pleasure of listening to this book.
