When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare
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.**
From now on whenever the BFF says read a book unless I have a problem with the context or the author I'm just gonna do it. I mean seriously.
I have always enjoyed a book where they are married out of necessity. This was one of those books. Maddie is painfully shy, to the point where she makes up a fiance. One that she thinks will never show up. She sends him letters faithfully and it keeps her safe in her own space. She doesn't want to be married so it really is the perfect set up. Eventually her guilty conscience gets to her and she gives her fake fiance a big send off. She goes into mourning and moves to the land her godfather left her in his will. When she is faced with the man that received her letters. The man that supposedly died a heros death, in the flesh and wanting the things she promised. Too bad this man wasn't supposed to be real!
Captain Logan MacKenzie is back in Scotland ready to collect on the promises the English girl promised in her letters to him. Sure he knew they were to a fictional person but it just so happened he had the exact name she picked. Now that the war was over he was ready to collect what he was promised. Sure he has less than honorable intentions but his men have lived through hell and back and he's going to do what he needs to do in order to have a place for them. He doesn't love her and he doesn't trust her so he's going to use her letters to get her to bend to his will.
Oh these two don't like each other but that line between love and hate is so thin it's easy to drift over. I loved that Maddie was headstrong, that she was quirky. Logan wanted to resist her but she won him over. Have you read this? What did you think? Let me know and leave the author love in the form of a review!
