Description from the publisher:

A free-spirited American. An uptight hot Scot. When passion ignites, no rules can survive the heat.

An office drudge by day, a free spirit by night... For Emery Granger, getting laid off from her job as a computer programmer liberated her from imprisonment in an office cubicle. The problem? She has no career and almost no money. Desperate to forget her quandary for one weekend, she takes off on a spontaneous trip to New Orleans — where the unconventional American collides with a sizzling-hot Scot.

Uptight lawyer by day, steamy seducer by night… After surviving three disastrous failed marriages, Rory MacTaggart has no desire to get entangled in another relationship. But with his two brothers now living in wedded bliss, he’s enduring the well-meaning pestering of his entire family. Rory’s solution? Get himself a trophy wife.

A one-night stand leads to a marriage of convenience, and a culture clash when Emery must adjust to a new life in Scotland and her new husband's need for rules. When Rory’s ordered life explodes, the reluctant husband may just have met his match in the passionate, adventurous wife he swears he will never love.

SCANDALOUS IN A KILT is the third book in the Hot Scots series. While each book is centered on one couple leading to their HEA, it is best to read them in the order of release.

Let’s start with that delicious kilt. First, Lachlan visits America and he goes to a bar on kilt night where he meets Erica. Then when Aidan also visits the Chicago area, Lachlan tricks him into believing that every Friday is kilt night at the club, Dance Ardor. Calli meets him there. Up until now, we’ve been lead to believe that Rory was so uptight and straight-laced that he would never set aside any propriety. He is, but he has fallen prey to Aidan’s wager about wearing a kilt in a public place while visiting New Orleans in America. That’s how he meets Emery who is also visiting NOLA on vacation.

I don’t know who I love more, Rory or Emory. They are complete opposites and yet so perfect together.

The trope is familiar: a contractual marriage – a marriage of convenience – that leads to more, yet there was so much more feeling to this one than many that I have read. They did not fall in lust and then in love. Though we are getting the story from Emery’s POV, I swear it felt unbiased to say that Rory fell first. Still he fought hardest and longest or did he? Yes, I know that’s cryptic. You’ll have to read it to know what that means, because I’d hate to give away the good twists!

This one has to be my favorite in the series, but there are more siblings. I hope there will be more kilts and fun.

Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
