“I loved Some Like it Plaid—it’s cute, funny, and fast-paced, with a smokin’ hot Scottish hero from long ago paired with a smart, relatable modern-day heroine. I can’t wait for more in this series.” —RITA Award winner Susan Grant, New York Times & USA Today bestselling author
When Ashley Miller sees a Craigslist ad for an all-expense paid vacation to Scotland with a handsome Highland “escort,” she’s all over it. Worn out from working two jobs to pay off the debts her scam artist ex-husband left her with, she just needs a friggin’ break already. Rolling, misty mountains of the Scottish Highlands, here she comes!
But one minute she’s sipping a latte and the next she’s zapped to the 2nd century—and promptly informed she’s managed to wed her handsome Highlander without even an “I do.” Oh, hell no.
After a devastating tragedy, Connall’s tribe is left with few marriageable women. When his Druid priest suggests a place filled with bonnie lasses, he of course agrees to go fetch one for himself. But nothing prepared Connall for his sassy new wife, nor his tribe for a woman determined to see equal rights for all women.
Now the men are threatening revolt if he can’t rein his young wife in, but it might be too late. The women are demanding the men get “woke”—which of course makes no sense, because they already woke that morn—and give women “the vote,” whatever the bloody hell that is. Despite all that, Connall can’t stop wanting to convince his wife to get naked, and he’s starting to wonder if he’s been bewitched.
Only the more he gets to know her, the more he starts to think she’s just what they needed. If only he survives her next demand…

4.5 Stars
Some Like it Plaid was a highly entertaining time-travel romance. The majority of the story was spent in the past and I was impressed with the author's story-telling when it came to the historical time period that the hero hailed from - 156 AD. Thankfully this story was lighter with some ad ...more

It has been a long time since I read a Romantic Time-Slip novel, where the female characters travels back to the Scottish Highlands. This one had a bit of a twist, with the handsome, swoon-worthy hero travelling forward in time looking for a wife. When he finds her, they travel back in time to his h ...more
Normally I'm a little iffy on historical and time travel books. Angela Quarles changed my mind. I was quickly swept into another world with Ashley. I fell in love with Connall and his tribe. Ms. Quarles wove a beautiful story, her words painted beautiful pictures in my mind and I honestly did not wa ...more

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.
A bit different take on the time travel romance, when Connall is sent to the future to find a bride when the women of his clan are kidnapped. It was great that the clan wealth in the past translated forward (I am guessing since a druid sent him and coul ...more

Absolutely loved Some Like it Paid by Angela Quarles! I am a big fan of time travel books and really enjoy reading about people out of their element. I really enjoyed the Craigslist ad and all of the misinterpretations and innuendos. I always find it amusing when modern phrases are confusing and int ...more
An exciting whirlwind of a read. Ashley is on the run from shady creditirs. It seemed her jerk if an ex husband had used all their money in bad transactions. Instead of going after him, it seems she's the fall "guy". Even her family didn't believe her when she said how controlling he we, and how he ...more
Quarles dares to be different and I'm lovin' it. From modern firecracker to 2nd century outcast. Move over Outlander, make room for Some Like It Plaid. Ashley and Connell may be from two different worlds, but they do share a common goal. Both are trying to work their way through heartache. With a co ...more
I’ve read some time travel romances before, but never one that drew me in like Some Like it Plaid! I loved Connall! He seemed like he would be a big, tough warrior (& he is) but I loved that he is a big marshmallow inside. Ashley was so freaking awesome! I loved that she was so excited to help Conna ...more
Some Like it Plaid by Angela Quarles is a fun time travel romance novel. Ashley is such a realistic woman from our modern times.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book!
The characters and story drew me in from the beginning. The author did a really nice job creating interesting parameters for the time travel and resources that both Connall and Ashley do between present day San Francisco and Scotland in the ...more
Yea...Connall doesn't really ask he just demands, "a shadow blended with hers, and Connall reached out a hand. “You will accompany us.” I found this to be an entertaining read, Connall was just set in his ways and his ways weren't to his woman's liking so she decided to do something about driving he ...more
I give this book 3,5 stars.
I had hoped for a romcom when I saw the cover and read the resume of the book. The beginning didn’t disappoint but then when the two main characters time traveled to Scotland in 156 AD the story became a lot more serious and almost a history lesson.
I really loved learning ...more

Angela Quarles is a new author for me. I was looking for a light-hearted read and, when I came across this book on Net Galley, I though I’d found just that. And I did. But, I also found a sweet love story, a bit of adventure, and characters who I fell in lov ...more
This was such a wonderful read! Along with the adventure, it was at times LOL funny - especially through the eyes of the h, Ashley - as well as sexy.
And speaking of sexy...the intimate scenes were hot, and one in particular (view spoiler) was a scorcher ...more
Thanks to NetGalley and Emara Publishing for my free review copy. All opinions are my own. Continuing with our Droughtlander coverage… now this book I loved! Some Like it Plaid jumped out at my on NetGalley for two reasons – Abs and Tartan 🥰. There is literally no shame in my Scotland game. I love ...more
Light Balanced & Sweet
Great time travel romance. The story jumps straight into Ashley coming back to the 2nd century. A nice sprinkling of history throughout. I really don't like when I have to have a PhD in an era before inread a book and for this book you don't.
The mystery of why there are no wom ...more

A yummy Scot with a drop-dead body, what sane woman wouldn't want that? There is the slight problem of having to travel back in time to the 2nd century however. A nice little romance, that was great for whiling away an afternoon. ...more
A fantastical read that will have you googling history and events to find out more. Ashley is disillusioned with the integrity of men to fully respect the thoughts of women and equality. Hiding from men collecting the debt of her ex, she answers an ad that brings so many more questions and a scarey ...more
