Description from the publisher:
She's taking a dating hiatus.
He's determined to date her.
Add a kilt & a Scottish accent,
& let the Highland Games begin.
After Lark Harpswell's boyfriend leaves her with an empty fridge and a maxed-out credit card, she's determined to avoid irresponsible men. If she needs romance, she'll live vicariously through her favorite historical Highlander novels. So, when gorgeous Dag Ross--the local Mr. Irresponsible--asks her out, she turns him down.
During the day, Dag lounges in bed or works as a part-time handyman for a friend. At night, and under a secret pen name, he writes wildly popular romance novels featuring a brawny, sword-wielding Scotsman named Duncan Magnus Ferguson MacLeod. Convinced true love doesn't exist outside of fiction, he's blindsided when he meets Lark. And when he sees her with her favorite romance novel--his novel--and she hints she'll date a hero like Duncan, he takes on her Highlander wooing challenge.
Who would've thought Dag dressed in a kilt, spouting Scottish phrases could be this...hot? Keeping him at arms-length is getting harder by the minute. Lark will have to decide if she can trust Dag not to hurt her, and Dag will have to drop the walls he's erected around his heart to let love inside. Or they risk losing their happily ever after.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SOME LIKE IT SCOT is the first book
in the Crescent Bay series. Though not a
continuing story, they will need to be read in the order of release.
Not only is this the first book in
the series, it is the first book released by Marlie May and she did a wonderful
job of it! I’m chomping at the bit to
get the next book in the series.
The story is sweet, sexy, romantic
comedy at its classic best. I love the
way they meet and meet again until there is no way to deny they are meant to spend
time together. I love the way he is
willing to do anything – no matter how cutely silly – to get her to agree to
that first date that is really a third (?) date. You’ll have to read it to know why I question
that one. I loved this story; I loved
the characters, their passions, and their causes. With every revelation, I still wanted to know
more. I was invested in every page.
Finally, I loved the hints that will
lead us to other books in this series. I
know many seasoned writers who do not do as good a job at leaving those
breadcrumbs that will entice to further book sales. Again, I must say, extremely well done, Marlie
May!
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
