Description from the publisher:
A feisty American. A hot Scot. Passion ignites.

Good-girl Erica Teague is out on bail, charged with a crime her ex-lover committed. A lifetime of sticking to the rules has left her broke, burned, and facing a trial and certain conviction, thanks to the evidence planted by her trust-funder ex.

Desperate to experience one wild night of sizzling sex before her freedom is torn away from her, Erica heads to a notorious night club in search of a one-night stand -- where a case of mistaken identity lands her in the arms of a hot Scot with a secret past.

The passion igniting between them is explosive, but Lachlan MacTaggart wants nothing to do with relationships or commitment. When he offers Erica one month of sex and companionship with no strings, she can't resist succumbing to her electric lust for the Scotsman. Soon, though, Erica's ex begins harassing her and Lachlan's haunted past catches up with him. When their hot fling gets personal, the last thing either of them wanted may become the one thing that frees their imprisoned hearts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DANGEROUS IN A KILT is the first book in the Hot Scots series.   Though each will stand on its own, it is best to read them in the order of release.

I can sum up this book in one word – SIGH!  It pushed all of my buttons.  First there is Lachlan, a brooding sexy man, with a yummy accent. .. and a kilt… and plenty of bankroll without the matching ego.  Then there is Erica.  Poor little lost kitten had the mother in me wanting to protect her and elated to see Lachlan doing the job in so many ways even when he didn’t know what all he was protecting her from.  There is the hiss-able villain, Presley.  I won’t say too much about him, but he is a perfect antagonist.  Finally, I can’t forget to mention the sweet pooch, Casey, Erica’s golden retriever.  Casey is a comfort and an early warning system for good and bad.   So, we have great characters.  The storyline was fun, part light and humorous and part serious and suspenseful, and a big dose of lustfulness.  Oh, and I forgot to mention romantic.  For a big, brawny, caber-throwing Scotsman, Lachlan knows how to also touch a woman’s heart.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to escape to a place of romance with a touch of suspense and laughs.

Anna Durand is a new-to-me author and, based on this book, I love her writing.  I’m very happy that I already have (and have started reading) book two, WICKED IN A KILT.  Talk to you soon about Lachlan’s brother, Aiden.  He is a bad boy, but is he a stripper?
