Review of 'When a Scot Ties the Knot' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I'm a sucker for a historical romance. Especially one with a smart, unconventional heroine. This one was good stuff. Funny and sweet.

Madeline grew up shy and more interested in drawing than in men. To avoid being paraded throughout the London season, she made up a lover. A Scottish Officer, no less. And wrote herself fake letters and sent them to this fake person. But, wait! He's real. And he's gotten her letters over the years, and comes to find her after the war ends. What's a girl to do? Well, since he's handsome and sexy and brave, she falls for him. He falls for her. And they all lived happily ever after. Or did they? Read it yourself to find out--I'm no book spoiler!

If you like smart female leads with spirit, you will like this book. Enjoy.

When A Scot Ties the Knot starts off as a marriage by blackmail story, which honestly, doesn't put the hero in the best light, but by the end of the story, it's easy to understand why Logan is willing to blackmail his bride, and it's even kind of honorable.

The premise for getting these heroines their castles remains thin, but the castle is only barely the point here. It's just a vehicle, and in this book, the castle (and its surroundings) play a role in their romance as well.

Tessa Dare clearly writes not only to entertain others, but also to entertain herself. Some of the jokes here were a little too obvious, some of the dialogue a little too anachronistic ("You had one job!). But at the end of the day, Dare's books are always fun and this was no different.

I received this book for free from Avon …
