Publisher's summary

Audie Award Nominee, Romance, 2013

Eveline Armstrong is fiercely loved and protected by her powerful clan, but outsiders consider her "touched." Beautiful, fey, with a level, intent gaze, she doesn't speak. No one, not even her family, knows that she cannot hear. Content with her life of seclusion, Eveline has taught herself to read lips and allows the outside world to view her as daft. But when an arranged marriage into a rival clan makes Graeme Montgomery her husband, Eveline accepts her duty -unprepared for the delights to come. Graeme is a rugged warrior with a voice so deep and powerful that his new bride can hear it, and hands and kisses so tender and skilled that he stirs her deepest passions. Graeme is intrigued by the mysterious Eveline, whose silent lips are ripe with temptation and whose bright, intelligent eyes can see into his soul. As intimacy deepens, he learns her secret. But when clan rivalries and dark deeds threaten the wife he has only begun to cherish, the Scottish warrior will move heaven and earth to save the woman who has awakened his heart to the beautiful song of a rare and magical love.

Sweet Romeo and Juliet romance set in Highlands

The highlights of this book were:
1) Feuding family
2) Forced marriage by king... and yet:
3) Disney princess heroine greets intended groom with a huge smile because a recent injury left her deaf and she can only hear certain low timbers... so it’s like
4) love at first I-can-almost-hear-this-sort-of-sound-and-it’s-incredible-and-beautiful-and-I-want-it-around-always
5) a very sweet hero who vows to protect the heroine in spite of her being from his enemy’s family, and who actually isn’t a man whore! Whooop!
6) hero protects heroine against his own clan
7) hero teams up with arch enemy to save heroine!

There were a few noticeable plot holes which may come out in future books. The hero seemed confused about things that he indicated he should have already known. It seemed weird that the heroine was only deaf and her family thought she had other mental issues, maybe it just wasn’t a known consequence of her type of injury but the hero figured it out so quickly that you’d think her family would have as well. To me those things didn’t detract from this sweet and steamy story!

Wonderful

This is a wonderful love story. I liked all the characters and can't wait for the rest in this series. I hope the Armstrong boys get a book too.

Just Awesome!!

What other book might you compare Never Seduce a Scot to and why?

The McCabe Trilogy...also a wonderful series by Ms Banks & Potter

Which scene was your favorite?

I don't want to give spoilers so I'd say it was Evelin's greatest wish delivered at the end by Graeme

Brilliant Story, great performance!!!

I was sceptic at first because I prefer the midern stories, but this one was amazing. It was so well written and performed. Everything was balanced and tastefully put together. It was romantic, dramatic, hot, interesting and not so obvious. I trully recommend this one :-)
