Book Review: It's Getting Scot in Here by Suzanne Enoch



It's Getting Scot in Here... FOR REAL, Y'ALL! Suzanne Enoch has this amazing ability to transport you to any era and in It's Getting Scott in Here she transports us from Scotland to London and we get to LIVE through her characters as they navigate their turbulent situation.

This is definitely a Wrong Guy, Right Brother deal. When the MacTaggert boys find out that their dad made an agreement with their estranged mother, they are furious, but they have to swallow that down and head out of the Highlands into the wilds of LONDON. Talk about your culture shock. They definitely had a lot misconceptions over the city as well as the women of England.

And in comes Amelia-Rose Baxter. She definitely sets the MacTaggert boys on arse over heels. They definitely did NOT expect her. She is promised to the eldest brother, but marriage is the last thing Amelia-Rose thinks of when she meets the big man who dismisses her and once she verbally slaps him, he is DONE.

But Niall sees something special in her. And we get to watch as their relationship builds. This is something that Suzanne does extremely well. She builds a romance for you, this isn't a wam-bam-thank you ma'am story, this is the true definition of a love story. You watch the ups and downs as their relationship takes form and blossoms.

I will say that I had some problems at times liking the MacTaggert men. They are supposed to be rough highlanders, but I felt they were just spoiled and it was hard for me to get on board with the men. I loved Amelia-Rose though, she sold the story. I loved her outspokenness and how Suzanne Enoch let her character take control when it was needed. I do recommend the book if you love a strong heroine who doesn't simper and whine through the whole thing. This is book 1 in The Wild Wicked Highlanders and I will stick with the series to watch each man fall under the spell of their perfect match.

I do want to thank Netgalley for letting me read and review this book. It was a pleasure!

Book Review of Dead Girl Walking by Sharon Sant



I received Dead Girl Walking by Sharon Sant from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I loved the premise, the storyline did capture me from the very beginning. Cassie is the only survivor after her entire family died during a car accident, not only did she survive but she was declared dead and had been "dead" for several hours before she "came back". I liked her, I understood her struggle and I can definitely see why she was fighting herself before she could move on. Enter Dante, he has his own issues with reoccurring nightmares involving his own death. I didn't like him honestly. As a character we really didn't get to see who he was beyond the flat character he was, maybe that is what the author originally wanted. The focus of this story is on Cassie and her acceptance of life. There are so many questions that I didn't feel were answered by the end of the story, sure the bad guy was caught but we didn't get any closures as to who, what, where and why he was doing what he did. I would love to know if Dante is psychic or if it was just the one time, I would like to know what happened with Cassie and WHY she was able to come back and do the things she was able to do. I HATED that she lost her only remaining family, it felt like overkill...excuse the pun.

However, I do feel that the book handled grief in a new and different way. It's not always oh they died, time to move on, sometimes it hurts to breath and that was definitely portrayed in the book. Although Cassie was hard to like at some times in the story, I understood her for what she was. An extremely depressed girl bent on self punishment. I gave it three stars for this reason. I'd be interested and reading a followup to see if all my questions were answered.
