Romancing the Scot by May McGoldrick
3.0
Romancing the Scot is truly a complete story. There’s romance, friendship, family, suspense, intrigue...it has got a little of everything and it all melds together to create an enjoyable historical fiction romance.
Hugh as the hero was perfect. He's protective while still allowing independence and exudes kindness and mercy even while having a bit of a temper. On the other hand, it did take me a while to warm up to Grace, but she ends up a great match for Hugh. I liked all of the secondary characters, especially Jo (who I was excited to learn will be the main character in book 2!).
The writing is excellent and the story flows. Even though it takes place over a short period of time (around a month) and is fairly short (under 300 pages), I felt that the characters were able to evolve and the plot able to conclude without feeling rushed. I enjoyed the bit of suspense: who was after Grace and who's responsible for her father's death. It made the story into more than just a simple romance.
This was my first book by the writing duo known as May McGoldrick, but it will certainly not be my last. A perfect read for a rainy day under the blankets.
