    About this audiobook

    It's a sign of Lady Rosalia Armstrong's desperation that she's seeking refuge in a place as rugged and challenging as the Scottish Highlands. She doesn't care about hardship and discomfort, if only she can become master of her own life. Laird Ciaran MacGregor, however, is completely beyond her control . . .

    Ciaran MacGregor knows it's perilous to get embroiled with a fiery Lowland lass, especially one as headstrong as Rosalia. Having made a rash promise to escort her all the way to Glengarry, now he's stuck with her, even though she challenges his legendary prowess at every opportunity. When temptation reaches its peak, he'll be ready to show her who he really is . . on and off the battlefield.

      Highlander romance, awww, there is just something about those sexy Scots.

      In this one we have poor Rosalia, she does not come from a happy home, and now she must marry some English idiot. She did not see herself as pretty, brave, or anything really. She was beaten down, but she learns her own worth.

      Then we have the sexy Highlander she meets. Laird Ciaran McGregor who is trying to hold his household together while feuding with those bloody Campbells (and yes they were not nice at all.). He saves her, he wants her, they dance around each other, there are stolen kisses, and in the end the question is, can he let her go? He was strong, a gentleman (most of the time ;), and I liked him. He was something that she needed.

      We have the romance, troubles with the Campbells, a bitchy woman that wants Ciaran for herself, and get to know Ciaran's family. One brother is already married, but the other one is single, and a rogue. I hope he gets a book soon, and I hope..something (oh! I just read the blurb for the next book and hihi, that is all I am saying). There is also Rosalia's old friend James, and he is also someone I'd like to see fall in love with a nice girl.

      Conclusion:
      A nice highlander romance. You have it all, love, passion, fights and trouble in a kilt.

      Good story but a little long.

      Lady Rosalia has suffered abuse constantly at the hand of her mother. But when she refuses to marry a English lord, and will wait for love, she is brutally beaten. So Rosalia, cuts her hair, and dresses in men's clothing, takes her horse and heads up to Scotland to stay with her grandmother. But on her way up she collapses off her horse and blacks out. Ciaran MacGregor, is glad to be leaving London and heading back home. After paying respects to the King James, he is eager to return to his clan, and make good on his promise to his father, to guide his younger brother Declan from a path of debauchery and drinking. On his way to his keep however, his men stumble on a boy who has taken a terrible fall. After further examination Ciaran learns that the "boy" is none other than a woman, who has been badly beaten. At first Ciaran is eager to get home, but willing to help Rosalia heal and help her on her way to her destination. but Ciaran finds himself drawn to Rosalia and offers her sanctuary at his home until arrangement can be made for her journey to north Scotland. A fierce passion escalates between Ciaran and Rosalia, and with a nefarious plot out to destroy Ciaran and everyone he loves, only embracing his love for Rosalia will he be able to defeat the enemy that threatens that which is his.Temptation in a Kilt is the first in the series, and the first I have been able to read from this author. I obtained a copy through Audible, and boy I am so glad I did. The narrator is one of my favorites, Elizabeth Wiley, who did a fantastic job with the Scottish accents and tones of emotions of the variety of characters involved in the story. Temptation In A Kilt is one of my favorite books I have read so far this year!! A truly amazing romance that swept me away from the first moment. If you like sexy highlander, strong willed heroines, and a endearing love story full of the history and passion of the highlands...this story is definitely for you!! I really love every element that combined this story into a sweeping romance.The characters in this story were lively and passionate. The two main characters Ciaran and Rosalia were perfect for each other, they complimented each other so well. Ciaran is a highland laird, and as such is devoted to his clan and his responsibilities. When he finds out who Rosalia, some of priorities start to slowly shift toward Rosalia. I loved Ciaran as the hero of the story. He could be very commanding and possessive at times, but also had a soft spot for Rosalia, and I loved the tender and sweet actions he had toward her, especially after he learns the truth of her wounds. Rosalia I had mixed feelings about. I truly admired her as the heroine, and from the first moment, you are cheering her on. For not giving in to her parents demands even knowing the consequences, wanting to be in charge of her own future. She definitely has a strong spirit, and a fighter, and I admired her courage that she displays in the story. However there was something about her character I had a hard time liking. I felt like she too prideful too many times. Despite all that I felt like her character was well balanced for the most part, and she became very endearing to this reader. The side characters were fun, and I loved Aiden(Ciaran brother) and his wife, and of course Declan who is very Bad Boy type( I am aching to read his story). There is quite a few different conflicts in the story, but by the end, the story gets wrapped up quite nicely, and I had a giddy happy look on my face I am sure, by the very end.A fully satisfying romance that enthralls the reader!! A intense love story that takes you to the romance of the highlands, steamy passion, lively characters, charming dialogue and a tale to take your breath away!!! Impossible to put down! REMARKABLY WRITTEN!!
    • 3/5
      I probably should round up to four stars because this did a good job catering to my tastes! Insecure, abused heroine, dashing hero, bitchy ex, angst and misunderstandings and not one but TWO overheard insults! Good stuff. I might even check out the next book in the series even though it doesn't have any of my favorite tropes. One complaint: the whole "vow" that somehow meant the hero couldn't get married was pretty ridiculous and felt contrived. (3.5 stars)
    • 4/5
      As debut novels go, this Victoria Roberts debut and first in Bad Boys of the Highlands series, is well written and fast paced, but it’s the main characters that drive this story.

      I love my heroes to be honorable, yet entertaining and not boring, and that’s exactly who I got in Laird Ciaran MacGregor.

      He’s had enough of the Royal Court and is ready to return to his home in Scotland and that’s where the story takes off, as he stumbles onto Rosalia who is on the run.

      The heroine is someone very likable and sweet, yet headstrong and determined. I loved it that she was described as someone I could relate to, svelte and not slim.

      Together they make a couple you’ll have no choice but to root for as they fall madly in love with each other.

      If you like your highland novels to have a heavy use of a brogue, then you’ll enjoy this story very much.

      Highlander romances are my favorite go-to comfort read, and this one fits the bill nicely. TEMPTATION IN A KILT is the story of Rosalia, a lady in distress, and Ciaran, the Highland laird who comes to her rescue.Rosalia is on the run from her abusive family. Broke and desperate, her parents want to marry her off to a dreadful man for their own financial gain. Rosalia has had a lifetime of misery and refuses to take it any longer, so she flees to the Highlands in search of her paternal grandmother's home in Glengarry. Of course, trouble finds her along the way, and luckily Laird Ciaran MacGregor and his men come to her aid. Ciaran knows it's foolish for anyone to travel as far north as Glengarry in late fall, so he convinces Rosalia to stay at his home until it is safe for him to escort her himself. During her stay at MacGregor Castle in Glenorchy, Rosalia's attraction to Ciaran grows, and she believes he feels the same for her, but there are circumstances working against them. A mistress with a grudge, a troublesome enemy clan and a vow Ciaran made to his dying father threaten to keep them apart.Though the pacing was slow in spots and there were no big surprises in the plot, there was plenty that kept me hanging on. The chemistry between Rosalia and Ciaran was strong. They were both determined - no, more like stubborn, yet below the surface you could tell they were meant for each other. The secondary characters added flavor to the story, especially Ciaran's wayward brother Declan. (His book is next with X Marks the Scot.) The rich descriptions of the Highlands were lovely too.TEMPTATION IN A KILT is a promising start to the Bad Boys of the Highlands series, and a fun escape for fans of sweet (almost clean) Scottish romances.Review copy courtesy of NetGalley.
