The MacTaggert brothers have one task:Find English brides or lose their land!
Coll MacTaggert, Viscount Glendarril, is a big, brawny Highlander who doesn’t like being told what to do—not even by his exasperated English mother who is determined to see her eldest son wedded and bedded. However, when he comes to the rescue of an irresistibly beautiful woman, Coll discovers that he may have found his perfect match…
The challenge isn’t that Persephone Jones is famous, wealthy, independent, and smarter than anyone he knows. The problem is that she is not interested in marrying any man---especially not a hot-headed Scot—even if he is the only man who seems to understand who she really is even when she’s not sure herself. When Coll learns that Persephone is actually a lady-in-hiding and someone is willing to kill her for what she stands to inherit…Well, Coll has never been one to turn down a fight. When hearts are involved, nothing comes between a Highlander and his lady.
I received Hit Me With Your Best Scot for free. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
When Coll’s parents separated seventeen years ago, they signed an agreement that all three older McTaggert brothers would be married before their little sister or lose the money for the estate from their mother’s family fortune. Two have fallen into the parson’s trap, now the heir has only four weeks to find a bride. Unwilling to let his mother throw the perfect English wife at him, Coll finds the one woman in London his mother would never approve of.
Persephone Jones is the toast of the London theater scene. When Coll finds himself backstage at one of her performances, he realizes why every man with a pulse would want her. After a few peers end up bloody at Coll’s hands, Persephone Jones finds Coll as her new protector. The woman has a secret though, one that someone is willing to kill her over. When too many coincidences add up to a plot to kill her, Coll fights to protect Persephone at all costs.
While protecting and cherishing the time they spend together, the pair find they are actually pretty perfect for each other. If only Persephone didn’t have a murderer after her. If only Coll’s mother could see it was the woman and not her bloodline that mattered.
From instant chemistry to the perfect match, Hit Me with Your Best Scot is an amazing end to a steamy series. The instant click between Coll and Persephone is sweet yet lustful. The duo sizzles on the page whether they are fighting for their lives or caught in a passionate moment. The end will surprise you, but in the best way possible. And the McTaggert brothers lived happily ever after.

About Suzanne Enoch
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.
She dabbled in romantic fantasy writing for a year or two after graduating with a degree in English from the University of California, Irvine, until her affection for traditional Regency romances led her to write one for fun. After several encouraging rejections from publishers, she snared the interest of the world’s best and most patient literary agent, who advised her to revise the manuscript. This ultimately led to the publication of her first book, The Black Duke’s Prize, from Avon Books in the Spring of 1995. A second Regency, Angel’s Devil, followed that Fall.
When Avon folded its traditional Regency line, Suzanne was encouraged to try her hand at historical romance. As she remained keenly interested in England’s Regency period, she decided to attempt another manuscript set in that time. Lady Rogue hit the shelves in March of 1997. She wrote a total of 29 books for Avon, including two anthologies and a five-part contemporary series which received a pair of starred reviews from Publishers Weekly. One of those books, Twice the Temptation, was named one of the five best romances of the year by PW in 2007.
In 2002 her well-known love of all things “Star Wars” led to an invitation to appear on the E! channel in the television special “Star Wars: The Force Is Back”, where she discussed the romance in the movie series and ended up with more air time than George Lucas.
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.
