That was a lovely read, sweet and passionate. I'd definitely read more by the author. It wasn't without its problems, but it was exactly what I was after.

What I Liked:
• Alex. Can I have one please? *swoon*
• The Sincla... ...more

Okay, the main character really annoyed me st the beginning. she's extremely proud and sensitive, which seems ridiculous since she grew up as an illegitimate child in England.i think not liking her contributed to the start being slow and more challenging for me to get into. But she grew on me as... ...more

"Tying the Scot" by Jennifer Tretheway was a satisfying read filled with love, angst and true villains. Lucy, the illegitimate daughter of an English peer, and Alex met when they were children. Alex wasn't happy to see young Lucy's brother take her toy and he rescued the toy, whooped the brother... ...more

Tying the Scot is a historical romance, it is generally a light story with a few suspenseful or emotional moments, and is perfect as an escapism read. The world building is very well done, Ms Trethewey builds a very believable 19th Century Scotland, but like many historicals these days, with a bi... ...more

Well now, Alex has a jealous side, “that’s not what I meant. I— who?” Heat scorched the back of his neck as if someone had set him afire. He hadn’t considered that he might have a rival. “Who else wants you? What’s his name?” he demanded." Being inside Alex's mind was fun, "was it wrong to steal... ...more

I very much enjoyed this story. I read the second book in this series first, however that did not cause me any problem while listening to this one. The Sinclair family is full of huge, handsome and loyal men. When Alex Sinclair turns twenty, his father, Laird John, and his father's best-friend, T... ...more

First time I have read this author. I am sure I will read her again.

Typical Scot story with a sassenach and a wild Scottish highlander. Lucy got a tad on my nerves and Alex did the same. They were both very naive and didn’t believe in each other. Lucy’s back and forth was tiring, but she finally... ...more

Fast paced, action packed with well written plot and intriguing characters. Highly recommended for fans of Medieval Romance, Scotland and wonderful characters. ...more

Adventure, kidnapping, highway robbers, men in kilts, and a clever, headstrong heroine — who could ask for more!? Tying the Scot was deliciously satisfying escapism with just the right dash of spice. I loved the romance (of course), but the interactions between the future Laird Alex and the peopl... ...more

Tying the Scot was delightful. I'm a sucker for characters who get off to a bumpy start and characters who have some growing to do, and I got both in this fantastic story.

Alex, in particular, had a wonderful character development. Swoony from the start, to be sure, he had a deep inner insecurity... ...more

I enjoyed Jennifer Trethewey's "Tying the Scot" for a variety of reasons: the honest and outright boldness in both the hero and heroine, Alex and Lucy. Their bickering and eventual love attraction was genuine although the author did a wonderful job stringing us along in that endeavor! The Scottis... ...more

I enjoy Scottish based stories and this one was a winning read.Well paced with drama,suspense and romance made for an entertaining book.The characters were true to life where Alex and Lucys bickering made the real.I read this book as an arc from netgalley and this is my honest opinion. ...more

Loved how the story opened, with the meeting of Alex and Lucy as children. I loved reading this story. Lucy is sent from her home to Northern Scotland, but instead of being a total brat about it, she makes the best of her situation. She finds herself falling in love with the area and the people,... ...more

I won’t go into all the various details of the story like other reviewers simply because they do such a fine job of it, much better than I could.

But what I will say is this:

I love historical romances that take place in Scotland. There’s nothing quite like a story amongst the dangerous and beautif... ...more

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Alex and Lucy's fathers had been friends for many years. The last time they had seen one another was when Alex was 11 and Lucy 9. At that meeting Lucy's brother was taunting her, as brothers will,... ...more

Despite the synopsis and the author at times giving away hints what was likely going to happen, I did enjoy seeing this verra handsome, hopeful, but hot tempered Scot and his feisty, pouty/a tad spoiled beauty of a leading lady find love together. Probably because I’m a lover of relationship angs... ...more
