A Scot to the Heart (Desperately Seeking Duke, #2)

An Officer and a Scotsman Captain Andrew St. James always knew he came from a noble family, but his branch grew far from the wealth and status. Nothing shocks him more than learning that he now stands as heir presumptive to his distant cousin the Duke of Carlyle. There is much for Drew to learn and adjust to—but first he goes home to Edinburgh, to tell his mother and three sisters of their startling good fortune. A Lady and a Temptress Ilsa Ramsay yearns for some adventure and fun, not another husband. When she discovers the handsome soldier who sweeps her off her feet for a rollicking dance is her friend’s brother, soon to be an English duke, she tells herself he’s not for her, no matter how tempting he is. But one impulsive kiss, then another, and another… says otherwise. An Irresistible Attraction Drew means to marry a respectable, dignified Englishwoman—a very proper future duchess. The spirited Ilsa is none of that. Still, when she’s caught in a dangerous scandal, he leaps to her aid without hesitation. And neither family duty nor future obligation can make them ignore what’s in both their hearts.

    Caroline Linden's "A Scot to the Heart" takes readers on jaunt through Georgian historical romance, landing at a respectable 3.75 stars in my book. The tale of Captain Andrew St. James, a Scottish military man thrust into English nobility, brings a delightful mix of challenging emotions and familial dynamics. Linden paints a lively picture of Edinburgh and the clash between Scottish spirit and English decorum. While the storyline has its captivating moments, the pacing felt uneven, and some character development left me wanting more. The romantic interplay between Andrew and Ilsa Ramsay, though emotional and engaging, seemed a touch predictable. Yet, Linden's narrative shines with its exploration of duty, family ties, and the inevitable clash between tradition and individual desires. Fans of Scottish heroes and historical romance will find this a worthwhile read, but it falls just shy of a higher rating.
