After a whirlwind
romance and wedding in Las Vegas, Highlander Jack MacTaggart took his new bride, Autumn Flowerday, home to Scotland with him, but their marriage fell apart almost as quickly as it began. In a last-ditch effort to save their relationship, Autumn begged Jack to move
back to the U.S. with her, but he refused, so she left him and they divorced. Nearly two years
later, Autumn and Jack were tricked into meeting up again on a "blind date" and
found that while the fiery chemistry between them was still there, so were their
differences. They spent a memorable afternoon together but went their separate ways, until
Autumn showed up at Jack's door eight weeks later to inform him that they
were about to be parents. That was where the story really began as Jack and Autumn tried to figure out how to build a healthier
relationship so that they could co-parent
successfully when the baby arrived.
I liked Jack despite his tendency toward moodiness and the fact that he basically held Autumn hostage in his house when she first returned to Scotland. Autumn was a sweetheart even though it seemed like she delighted in pushing Jack's buttons at first. As the story unfolded, it became clear that she was just trying to get him to be more relaxed, like he was when they first met in Las Vegas. All Autumn wanted was for Jack to be true to himself and stop hiding behind the mask he wore for his family for so long. Jack and Autumn really were cute together, and it was easy for me to cheer them on to their HEA.

I recommend "Devastating in a Kilt" for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I will definitely be picking up more of the books in this series. Jack's sweet, slightly crazy, meddling family members were a highlight of this story and I look forward to learning more about them.

About "Devastating in a Kilt"
"Ex" marks the hottest spot.
Having a fling with my ex-husband is a huge mistake. I might have walked out two years ago, but he divorced me. A meddling friend has set us up on a blind date, and though I should know better, I still can't resist Jack MacTaggart's hot body and his sensual skills. After one steamy afternoon in a Scottish hotel room, it's over--again.
But we forgot something on that day when we gave in to our mutual lust.
Autumn Flowerday left me without explaining why. Now she's back--with a revelation that changes everything. We're having a baby. All we've ever done is argue and shag, but that's not enough. Aye, the sex is bloody fantastic. But with a child on the way, we need to settle our differences. Maybe we have a chance...
Until the entire MacTaggart clan decides to help us out. Bloody hell.
Devastating in a Kilt is the ninth book in the award-winning, bestselling Hot Scots series of contemporary romances. Coming soon in audio featuring Shane East & Emma Wilder.
