This Scot of Mine

The Rogue Files

By: Sophie Jordan

Narrated by: Carmen Rose

A daring deception…

Desperate to escape her vile fiancé, Lady Clara devises a bold lie—that she’s pregnant with another man’s child. With her reputation in tatters, Clara flees to Scotland to live out her days in disgrace, resigned to her fate as a spinster…until she claps eyes on the powerful and wickedly handsome Laird Hunt MacLarin.

She’s the answer to his curse…

Laird of an ancient clan, Hunt needs an heir, but he comes from a long line of men cursed to die before the birth of their firstborn. When the Duke of Autenberry approaches him with a proposition—marry my ruined sister—it seems the perfect solution. Even better, the defiant lass stirs him to his very soul.

No escaping the truth...

Except marriage cannot set them free. No matter how much Hunt desires her. No matter how much Clara burns for him. Soon she is falling for her husband, but is love enough to end the curse? Or is the tragic history of the MacLarin Clan doomed to repeat itself?

Surprisingly good

Can’t think of a better way to spend my time than to listen to books like this one.

Wonderful and delicious story.

This book series keeps getting better and better. I absolutely loved the relationship between the two main characters. I also really liked the twist with the curse. I thought the ending was perfect.

A Curse Trope...

If you're dedicated to the series, its a must read. I will say many of the reviews have been unfair. Obviously, the purpose of this book was twofold. 1. tie up the loose ends regarding Hunt/Clara and 2. create a bridge to the Langley sisters as (with the exception of Enid Weatherton, who should have a story *hint for SJ*) the Autenberry clan are all accounted for.

Now, that doesn't mean the plot was not exasperating. I, personally, think the curse was a little much for this series...this installment just wasn't able to carry it off. I would've preferred another threat for this couple to overcome. Examples: the former fiance following Clara to the Highlands to cause havoc; a plot to overthrow the Laird (Hunt); the vindictive mistress; etc. The curse convulted things and made Scots appear an overly superstitious lot (which wouldn't necessarily be inaccurate as much as it just made you shake your head too much).

Also, did we get resolution on the prized bull? I may have missed it but, ah well.

Overall, I rated as a four star read.

My favorite in the series so far

I read a review calling the heroine an Unappealing Liar . I did not find that to be the case at all . She fibbed for a very good reason and almost immediately told the hero . I find that the fib she told made her intelligent and brave . The book reveals this reason.When reading historical romances,one must remember things were very different for women in the past .
I enjoyed This Scot if Mine very much . The author makes you feel the love the Hero and Heroine have for each other .

Loved this Story!

“This Scot of Mine” was a good story and, I loved the characters. The narrator sounds robotic as she reads the story however, she does get much better as the story continues. The dialogue between the main characters I felt was slightly weak but, I did enjoy most of their conversations. This is an audiobook where individual option and perception to like or dislike may differ but for myself, I enjoyed it!
