Not that he really wants to be here in the lowlands, but he has responsibilities to his clan and the exasperating Katie has uprooted the remnants of her father’s clan and moved them across the country to live here. There’s no way he can leave to go back home now. <br /><br />Katie has nowhere else to go and she refuses to bow down to the arrogant yet undeniably handsome Highlander. She’s had enough with men trying to control her and she is quite capable of handling herself. <br /><br />Now that Evan must spar with a beautiful lass for the rights to the lands, he will fight to the end. This battle is nothing like the ones his ancestors fought with crossbows and boiling oil. They never wanted to bed the enemy.<br /><br />My review :<br /><br />Will she find the new home she longed at the end of this journey ...<br /><br />What a fun and fast read this book was, the pages and words flew by, I didn’t saw the time pass.<br />While it is a novel on the short side, it has everything to enjoy. From the fiery lass and the managing laird clashing wills at every turn, to the many animals and kids wreaking havoc in their wake.<br />And while I think Katie was a bit unrealistic to embark in such a journey without having any insurance of what will await her at the end of it, I also understood the reasons behind a run into the unknown, it looked better than the outcome waiting her at home.<br />Still, very reckless as it was not only she and her brother she took along her trip to a new place.<br />Yet she did what she had to, as she did for years because of her absentee and irresponsible father. At such a young age, she became manager of her family lands, mother to her brother, healer of her people. What a burden for her young shoulders.<br />Thus she does not take well to be ordered by a laird determined to not accept her request.<br />Evan is head of his lands, so everything must going the way he wants and expects, but Katie’s arrival turns his stay at his new estate in a game of patience and disorder.<br />He came here on a mission, and the course of it is very much altered when a feisty lass arrives with a silly demand that he surrenders his new estate to her.<br />Yet this fiery girl, no, woman, full of spunk arises his interest. Could there be more to expect than banters and clash of wills?<br /><br />Outside the dark topic behind Katie’s true reason of escape, this is a light and full of fun read, with only the issue of two temperamental beings crossing daggers.<br />I loved too the tiny snippets of daily life and customs from this time in this area.<br />4.5 stars<br /><br />I was granted an advance copy by the publisher and author. Here is my true and unbiased opinion.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/429830134272830/photos/a.607603376495504/630443470878161/?type=3">https://www.facebook.com/429830134272...</a>

Scottish Lowlands, 1818<br />A determined Mistress Katie Stirling is determined to claim her inheritance, the MacDuff castle in Fife. It was land stolen from her family that should have been passed down through her mother, Aileen MacDuff Stirling and she needed to bring her people there.<br />Of course they have a wheel break just as they are in sight of the castle but luckily two large men ride up and she hopes they can help. He was introduced to her as Laird Evan MacNeil of Argyll.<br />"He was ruggedly handsome. A strong chin, full lips, green eyes the color of the Scottish hills, and a well trimmed beard of dark red. His hair hung to his shoulders in waves, giving him a look of warriors past. Any moment, she expected him to bellow and brandish his broadsword around."<br />But what she was to find out was Evan had just claimed the McDuff castle in an inheritance, and thus the adventure begins!<br />I loved these two strong characters and was so entertained until the end. I always enjoy this author's stories and am looking forward to the next one. I have to add the cover is beautiful!<br />

Highlander romance? YES PLEASE!! Callie Hutton knows how to weave a masterful tale that’s for sure — add in a sexy Scot and we have perfection. This story was one I loathed to put down, the plot was well paced, definitely no lagging in this book! I adored the characters, which were all very well developed—they draw you into their story and captivate you, all were very intriguing &amp; realistic!! Overall an excellent highlander romance that makes you want to hop on a plane to Scotland &amp; find your own sexy, swoon-worthy Scot!! <br /><br />4 Stars ⭐️

Evan and Katie were truly awesome and this love story. I think that the writer did a wonderful job of telling a story that not only grab my attention with a romance so cute, but the humor in the book was delightful. Having the humor and the intrigue of the story had me fascinated with how the story would end.

This was a very entertaining read. I liked the characters of Katie Stirling and Evan, Laird McNeil. Evan was quite arrogant and used to having his orders obeyed without question. That is, until he comes across Katie. Katie is also used to running her father’s estate and is determined and feisty but has a caring nature for people and animals. They are attracted to each other and share a number of passionate kisses. However, Katie needs to settle her clan in their end surroundings and Evan needs to return home before the winter sets in. There is a villain who poses a threat to them. I enjoyed the way that life was portrayed amongst the clan and the way a caring Laird looked after his people. I received a copy and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A sweet read with interesting characters and good storylines.

This is a fun book. Katie shows up with her younger brother and several people from her clan to claim the castle that she believes she has inherited. There, she meets Evan...who has also just arrived to claim his inheritance of the same castle. These two are stubborn and clash immediately as neither will back down but eventually agree to work together while they sort everything out. Hutton has written two very strong characters. Katie demands to be heard and treated with respect...woman or not. Evan is such an Alpha male and so kind at the same time. It's just so enjoyable to watch these two interact. I loved the setting of Scotland and how really well written this book is. A Scot to Wed is a super fast read (I read it in one sitting) and one I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun, quick escape with a strong heroine and her Alpha highlander.<br /><br />Thank you to Entangled and NetGalley for an ARC of this book. The opinions here are my own.

A Scott to Wed by Callie Hutton<br /><br />Highlander Laird Evan MacNeil inherited the MacNab lands, Mistress Katie Sterling believes this is her inheritance. Katie travels across Scotland to bring her ragtag family and clan to a new place and life. Chaos ensues as her clansmen start to trickle in. This was such a fun story to read. The characters were well written and I was rooting for them from the start. <br /><br />This story has family loyalty, kidnapping, arrogant lairds, perseverance, castle chaos, puppies, and much more. A fun read if you have a few hours to indulge. I received an advance copy from NetGalley and the publisher. My review is my own opinion. <br />

Mistress Katie Stirling has uprooted her family and half her clan to travel across Scotland and claim her birthright.  She has more than one reason for the journey. <br /><br />Laird Evan MacNeil has come to take control of his inheritance and hire someone to look after it when he goes back to his clan.  He doesn't expect a rival claimant.  <br /><br />The clash of two strong characters, both with the welfare of their clans to consider will cause storm clouds.  Chaos reigns throughout the castle.  <br /><br />Lots of fun and a little danger for everyone.  <br /><br />I loved it.  

Even though this novel was a little on the short side for me. It packs quite a punch.<br /><br />Mistress Katie Sterling arrives at MacDuff Castle claiming the land that Laird Evan MacNeil was legally inherited. With no plans to stay at the estate Evan agrees to let Katie manage the estate in his absence. Especially since some of her clansmen are set to arrive <br /><br />Now he's visiting with his tenants before he leaves, with Katie along also. <br />And of course the more time they spend together, only fuels their growing attraction.<br /><br />ARC provided by Entangled Publishing via NetGalley
