Can a clash of wills …

When a mad lass in trousers shoots at him, Munro “Bear” MacLawry isn’t sure what impresses him more—the girl’s sure aim or her irresistibly tempting curves. Catriona MacColl has fled to the Highlands with her half-sister to escape an unwanted wedding and wants no part of him, or any man. But he can’t abandon the flame-haired, sharp-tongued wildcat now that he’s discovered her—not when she fits so perfectly in his arms.

Lead to a love for all time?

Munro has more than earned his nickname: he’s a well-muscled, well-favored mountain of a man with an engaging bad-boy grin and a string of well-satisfied lasses behind him. Bringing Catriona food, blankets, candles, everything she needs to survive a winter in an abandoned abbey, Munro is an unexpected gift in her reckless bid for freedom—and an unexpected complication. Clan MacDonald has plans for her, and they don’t include her falling for a MacLawry. But this man makes her feel like a woman—and he may be her one chance to live a life about which she’s only dared dream.

Some Like It Scot is book four in The Scandalous Highlanders series by Suzanne Enoch. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series, but somehow this book fell a bit short of the mark for me. Don’t get me wrong. Enoch is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. But I found myself skipping passages and grimacing whenever the heroine spoke. Catriona MacColl is the tomboy that the third son of the MacLawry clan – Munro “Bear” MacLawry is drawn to. I appreciated her character at first. She is a “Robinson Crusoe” surviving in the wild with her helpless stepsister.  But when her comments grew more and more acerbic, I just had a difficult time feeling compassion for her. She began to grate on my nerves. Bear is pictured as a giant of a Highlander who is content to let others think him a man with more brawn than brains – until he meets Catriona. “Women, physical pleasure, were one thing. When he looked at her, talked with her, he felt more …aware. More alive, more challenged, than he had with any other lass he’d ever met. It didn’t make any sense, because she also frustrated him more than any lass he’d ever met, but there it was.” I can agree with Bear..the heroine was annoying. I checked this book out from my local library. Although I was disappointed with this story, I am still looking forward to reading more by Enoch.
