Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced reading copy of this one. Wild Wicked Scot by Julia London was a great read, and one that I gobbled down in just one day! There are some books that you just can't put down or read fast enough and this is one of them! I am beyond excited that this is the first in a new series and I can't wait for book two! Book one features Margot Armstrong, a young and inexperienced English lady and Arran McKenzie, Scottish Clan leader. The two had an arranged marriage and couldn't be more different in personality. Despite the natural passion that ran between them Margot runs away and returns to England.
Three years later she is sent back to Scotland by her father to spy on her husband. Although, deep down she is convinced that the Arran she was married too couldn't be a traitor she has to find out for sure. In her quest for the truth Margo finds out a lot about Arran, including some things she didn't see as a new bride. She also finds out a lot about herself and how she could have settled into the Scottish Castle a little better all those years ago. Arran doesn't want to trust Margot when she comes back, but he is making some of the same discoveries about himself, Margo and their marriage.
Watching Margo and Arran work through their differences and overcome huge obstacles is a pleasure, and a good reminder that marriage isn't perfect and sometimes you have to work really hard at it. This book is full of witty dialogue, and it has plenty of steamy moments for the pair as well! Highly recommended!
