When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa DareDate Read: July 2015
More Information:On the cusp of her first London season, Miss Madeline Gracechurch was shyly pretty and talented with a drawing pencil, but hopelessly awkward with gentlemen. She was certain to be a dismal failure on the London marriage mart. So Maddie did what generations of shy, awkward young ladies have done: she invented a sweetheart.
A Scottish sweetheart. One who was handsome and honorable and devoted to her, but conveniently never around. Maddie poured her heart into writing the imaginary Captain MacKenzie letter after letter … and by pretending to be devastated when he was (not really) killed in battle, she managed to avoid the pressures of London society entirely.
Until years later, when this kilted Highland lover of her imaginings shows up in the flesh. The real Captain Logan MacKenzie arrives on her doorstep—handsome as anything, but not entirely honorable. He’s wounded, jaded, in possession of her letters… and ready to make good on every promise Maddie never expected to keep.

First Thought when Finished: When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare just landed at the top of my favorite reads of 2015!
Quick Thoughts: I will be rereading this one (listening actually )again. Such a fantastic read! Everything hits: Humor, Love, Romance, Sassy, Brassy, Smart, Clever, Swoon-worthy, and Emotional. I fell in love with almost everyone in this book. So much that I would like a spin-off series for the guys (someone make that happen). Maddie and Logan proved that there can be connection even when there isn’t a “connection” (that will make more sense after you read it). I highly recommend this story. You don’t even have to read in order (though books 1 and 2 were really good too)!
Part of my Read It, Rate It, File It, DONE! Reviews
Will update the review with the audiobook thoughts after it releases and I get to listen to it 🙂

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

Ohhh – this is on my wishlist and you just bumped it way up! I haven’t read the other two so I’m glad you mentioned I don’t need to. Thanks!
It was fantastic. Yeah this series really is a bunch of books that stand alone and are only connected through theme (not really characters).
I wanna read 1 and 2 now 🙂
They were both really good too 🙂 🙂
You can’t go wrong with a five star read. I will have to look into this one.
It was so good. Plus the great thing is since this series is just related by theme not characters you don’t have to read the first two (though they are good too)
Woah – 5 stars?!?! Then I have to read this book eventually, because I know you don’t hand those out all the time! Lucky for me, I just started Romancing the Duke over the weekend!! So, I’m excited to get more into it, since you liked this one so much!
It was so darn good! SO DARN GOOD 🙂 🙂 Oh I loved Romancing the Duke too. This one was better *waggles eye brows*
Wow, you really liked this one! It’s going on my ever growing list! I have the first book in this series but not read it yet, but I do like Tessa Dare. 🙂
These are only related in theme not characters but the whole series has been really good 🙂
I’ve the first book in this series and just got the audiobook version of the second. I’ll be adding this one when it hits my library’s shelves. Nice review!
This series is great in that it is theme not characters connected so you can read them in any order. I really loved books 1 and 2 also 🙂
