4 of 5 stars
THE SCOT BEDS HIS
WIFE is one of those books you'll either love or hate. I enjoyed it although I
thought Samantha Masters seemed more of a modern day heroine than a historical
one. When she's faced with a life and death situation, she finds herself in the
Scottish Highlands on a run-down family estate impersonating Miss Alison Ross.
There she encounters Gavin St. James who is desperately trying to buy the Ross
land and the herd of cattle roaming the estate. Both of them have deep dark
secrets and neither wants to give an inch in their back and forth fighting over
the land until Sam is attacked. Injured and running for her life, she has no
choice but to seek shelter at Gavin's castle. That's when things get more
interesting and Sam must make a life-altering decision.
I had a hard time
with Sam's constant swearing. Even given her harsh upbringing, it seemed a
little over the top and too modern for the times. It took a while, but I did
warm up to her. I loved Gavin--a rake with an irresistible smile that hid
tortuous secrets of his own. Neither one of them seemed to be able to trust the
other. Ms. Byrne did an excellent job of pulling the reader into their
nightmares, feelings and fears. There was an element to Sam's situation that
was surprising and it was interesting to see how the author wrapped up that. I
did enjoy this book, but be warned, there is a lot of swearing and graphic sex
scenes.
I received a copy
of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Blurb:
The Scot
Beds His Wife is the next lush, captivating Victorian romance in the Victorian
Rebels series by Kerrigan Byrne.
They’re
rebels, scoundrels, and blackguards—dark, dashing men on the wrong side of the
law. But for the women who love them, a hint of danger only makes the heart
beat faster.
Gavin St. James, Earl of Thorne, is a notorious Highlander and an
unrelenting Lothario who uses his slightly menacing charm to get what he wants—including
too many women married to other men. But now, Gavin wants to put his shady past
behind him...more or less. When a fiery lass who is the heiress to the land he
wishes to possess drops into his lap, he sees a perfectly delicious
opportunity...
A marriage most convenient
Samantha Masters has come back to Scotland, in a pair of trousers, and
with a whole world of dangerous secrets from her time spent in the Wild West
trailing behind her. Her only hope of protection is to marry—and to do so
quickly. Gavin is only too willing to provide that service for someone he finds
so disturbingly irresistible. But even as danger approaches, what begins as a
scandalous proposition slowly turns into an all-consuming passion. And Gavin
discovers that he will do whatever is necessary to keep the woman he has
claimed as his own…
