RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars
NOTORIOUS IN A KILT (Hot Scots #5) by Anna Durand is a smokin’ hot contemporary second chance romance. This entire series of sexy Scottish brothers and cousins is easy to read and entertaining. Each book can be read as a standalone although it was fun to read them in order and watch how each meets their perfect American mate.
Rae Everhart fell in love with her college professor. With only one month to go before graduation, they could not wait. They were both adults and only had one night of passion before the jealousy of others tore them apart. Her lover disappeared leaving Rae with so many unanswered questions and a daughter to raise alone.
Iain MacTaggart thought he was saving Rae by leaving her. He knows nothing about his daughter and has quite the reputation since returning to his home in Scotland. Since he can’t have the one woman he loves, he sleeps with many others. He never promises them anything except a good time.
Thirteen years later on Rae’s sheep ranch in Texas, Iain comes marching back into Rae’s life. He is willing to do anything to win her trust back, but he still has secrets that could break them apart once again. Can Rae trust Iain with not only her heart, but her daughter’s heart also?
This is the book I have been waiting for! Iain was a secondary character in other books in this series and I always wanted to know why at fifty he was still not settled. You knew there were secrets and this book tells all. Both Rae and Iain suffered and yet rebuilt their lives as best they could. They had to be together though in the end for this HEA to satisfy. Iain is extremely hot and Rae is the perfect strong and resilient heroine. Beside the reignited romance, you also get blackmail, misunderstandings and a bumpy road to happiness. The sex in this book is explicit and hot as in this whole series.
I really enjoyed this story and was very happy to finally find out more about Iain. This is a great second chance romance and one of my favorite in this series to date.
