Description from the publisher:
She's caught between a hot Brit and a hot Scot. Let the battle commence.
I'm in love with my best friend, but Jessica O'Connor sees me as only a friend. The fact that we had sex once and it was bloody awful doesn't help. But she finally ended her engagement with Domhnall Sterling, the Scot she took up with two years ago. Do I have a chance now? Maybe. If I can show her that we have chemistry. The sort that will burn so hot she'll forget all about that damn Scot.
 
Grey Dixon has been my best friend since college. He's sweet and smart, the kind of guy I would love to fall for. I do love Grey, but not in that way. Well, probably not. If only we had sexual chemistry…
 
When Jessica's ex turns up at my brother's wedding, all bets are off. I will do whatever it takes to stop her from going back to that kilt-wearing cretin. I'll even take advice from my brother, which might turn out to be my worst mistake yet.
 
A wedding at a nudist resort? With her ex, my brother, and a horde of Scots? No, that doesn't sound like a disaster in the making at all.
 
Brit vs. Scot is a multi-series crossover book featuring characters from three bestselling worlds—Hot Brits, Hot Scots, and the Au Naturel Trilogy. Don't miss the battle of the century!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BRIT VS SCOT is a crossover novel that brings together characters from the Hot Brits (between 4 & 5), Hot Scots (between 8 & 9), Au Natural (between 2 & 3) series.
 
It is wonderful to have a story that brings together characters from three favorite series and it’s done beautifully.  It could have felt forced, but it never does.
 
A wedding as only Alex (Irresistible in a Kilt) could plan it.  Freaking hilarious!

HIGHLAND TREASURE by Lynsay Sands

Title:  HIGHLAND TREASURE
Series:  Highland Brides #9
Author:  Lynsay Sands
Publisher:  Avon
Publish Date:   01.26.20021
Category /Genre:  Historical Romance
Recommended for:  18+ due to sexual content
Grammar/editing:  received as an unedited ARC / errors excused
Received from:  Avon Publishing
Goodreads link: Highland Treasure
Date completed: 11.22.2020
 
Description from the publisher:
A Buchanan brother finds a love to treasure in this scintillating historical romance from New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands…
 
After escaping from the English soldiers who attacked her home and imprisoned her in a dungeon, Lady Elysande de Valance is grateful for the rugged Scots who are escorting her to safety in the Highlands. Even with danger dogging their every step, she hadn’t expected to welcome the strong comforting embrace of their leader, Rory Buchanan. They say he’s a healer, but she finds the heat of his touch does so much more…
 
Let his brothers get married—Rory is too busy tending to the sick to be bothered with wooing a bride. But when he is tasked with accompanying a family friend’s “treasure” to the Highlands, he is surprised to learn the treasure is a beautiful woman on the run—and even more surprised to discover bruises hidden by her veil. Rory makes it his mission to tend to her injuries and protect her, but the thought of losing her makes him realize that perhaps it is his heart that is most in need of healing…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HIGHLAND TREASURE is the ninth book in the Highland Brides series.  It definitely stands on its own, but there is reference to former couples (Rory’s siblings).
 
Beautifully described scenes and actions made me feel every action and snowflake.  I have now had my vacation in Medieval England and Scotland in early winter on horseback.  What an adventure!  Suspense, humor, romance, and camaraderie as a single woman travels with eight men to selflessly protect king and country.
 
I loved, loved, loved this story and hope that I am able to pick up more of this series.  I am a sucker for Lynsay Sands vampires (pun intended), but now I want more of her sexy highlanders.

IRRESISTIBLE IN A KILT by Anna Durand

Title:  IRRESISTIBLE IN A KILT
Series:  Hot Scots #8
Author:  Anna Durand
Publisher:  Anna Durand
Publish Date:   09.07.2020

Description from the publisher:
Twelve years ago, I fell in love with Alex Thorne. He was beautiful, charming, sexy, and the best lover I'd ever had. But every word that comes out of his mouth is a half-truth, a con, or an evasion. Now I find out my dream job at a university in America is his way of pulling me back into his world. I will never, never fall under the spell of the British Bastard again.
 
Catriona MacTaggart is the one that got away. The Scottish lass has fire in her soul and in her eyes, especially when she punches me. I can handle that. Maybe the truth and I do have a different sort of relationship, but I've never lied about my feelings for Cat. I'll do whatever it takes to get her back, even if it means deceiving her.
 
Alex still knows exactly how to get under my skin, and despite all my intentions, I still can't resist that body and that smile. Maybe it's time I turn the tables and seduce the seducer, to finally solve the mystery he doesn't want me to unravel.
 
Who is Alex Thorne?
 
Irresistible in a Kilt is the eighth book in the bestselling, award-winning Hot Scots series of contemporary romances. Coming soon in audio, featuring Shane East & Elle Newlands.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IRRESISTIBLE IN A KILT is the eighth book in the Hot Scots series.  Though each book will stand on its own, this series is much more enjoyable if you read it completely and in the order of release.
 
Catroina and Alex are amazing together.  Their banter is hilarious and true to nature, plus their chemistry is absolutely off-the-charts!  It is obvious from the first moment that these two belong back together.  The fun for the reader was watching Cat fight it.  Of course, Alex, is Alex and that makes it all the more funny.  For those who have read previous books, you know what that means.  If you haven’t, you’ll catch on quickly!
 
Even if I had never previously read a “man in a kilt” book before, Anna Durand would make me a lover of the genre.  Rawr!  I will always read her books as quickly as they are available to me.
