When a Scot Ties the Knot

Average rating4
The whole Scottish genre isn't really my thing (I really don't like the phonetically-spelled dialect), but this was pretty entertaining. I wanted more Aunt Thea!
It was fun in the beginning then ... I don't know what happened. Kind of boring.
- WTF 2. I know I wrote some kind of review on this lol but I must have clicked around and changed the stars so the review reset? weirdness.
Anyways, I loved this book. It was cute, I laughed a lot. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I just love Tessa Dare and her swoony leading men, and strong and funny leading ladies. This one stars Maddie, a shy (/anxiety-ridden) young woman who just wants to draw things and be left alone, who invents a fiance, Captain Logan McKenzie, in the army so that's why no one's ever seen him; and Logan, who is um, actually verra verra real (and Scottish!), and received all the fake letters that Maddie had to mail to her “betrothed” in order for her lie to be believable.
But uh oh! Logan shows up to claim what's “his,” and brings a team of down-on-their-luck soldiers fresh out of the war, who have no homes in Scotland to go back to. Conveniently, Maddie owns a lot of land, and also Logan has all her letters and can blackmail her into doing what he wants or he'll sell out her secret!
I love the secondary characters in these books, and the fun elements, like the lobsters that Maddie keeps as pets/observes for drawing purposes. They're just so great. The audio narrator was also great.
