Lady Jane Everard cannot abide the new Earl of Hadley. The unmannered Scot is a menace to genteel ladies everywhere, what with his booming laugh and swishing kilt and endless supply of ‘ochs’ and ‘ayes.’ Jane wishes Lord Hadley would behave as an earl should and adhere to English rules of polite conduct. Jane sees Andrew as an unmannered eejit. Andrew considers Jane to be a haughty English lady. But, as the saying goes, . . . opposites attract.

Suffering the Scot

I would give it four stars because I liked the plot twist and resolution so much, and the romance ended up being pretty meaningful. But the first half of the book where the LI is essentially being an elementary school boy being mean to his crush and harassing her and all she can feel is helpless rage was very frustrating to read and a bit triggering for me personally. I am very familiar with feeling helpless rage in the face of unfairness. Once past that, though, the book was good.
