Hot for the Scot by Janice Maynard
Retired soccer star Angus Munro, aka Angus the Angler, is a little insulted and a whole lot intrigued when Hayley doesn’t recognize him. How long has it been since anyone saw beyond his wealth and fame? And how long before the macho athlete and his modern-day American damsel in distress act on an attraction that could make even the misty Scottish moors sizzle with heat? Long enough, maybe, for both to figure out if this is an affair to remember…or the start of something everlasting…**
Thanks to Lyrical Shine and Netgalley for the book in exchange for a honest review.
Ever since Outlander has become this giant hit, both the books and the show, people have been wanting to do a Scottish trip. See where Jamie and Claire stood, find the romance Claire found. It's a dream for most but Hayley got to do it with her two best friends. One month to explore alone and without technology, perhaps she'll find everything she's looking for.
Getting to the place she's staying she's a bit perplexed, the landlady just has the one room and the house is a bit cluttered but the room she rented is great! She's able to look around the small town near the loch and enjoy the Scottish experience. One day though she gets too close to the loch and falls in. The man who rescues her is a local guy, but famous. He's a retired soccer player Angus Munro and he's like her fantasies coming to life.
Angus came home because he wanted to help his mom. It's too bad people either want to hang out with him and talk soccer or they treat him like he thinks hes too good. When he saves the red haired girl from the loch and she doesn't know who he is, its refreshing. She's easy on the eyes and she's smart; plus he enjoys talking to her. They become romantically involved and it's like everything is falling into place. Then the flood happens and Angus saves her, her landlady and his mother, and brings them to live at his home. The close proximity just heightened all of the feelings they had for each other.
I requested this one on a whim, I'd read the author before but this one intrigued me since it was different from her norm. I read this in one day, I couldn't put it down. I was jealous of Hayley's adventure and also excited to see where it would lead her. Sometimes I thought that Angus was a little flat but it wasn't enough to slow the story down for me. I eagerly await the next books in this series so I can find out what happened with Willow and McKenzie! Leave the author love in the form of a review, its your way to show your appreciation for their craft.
