Eva Leigh

’One of my favorite authors. Her books are pure romantic delight’ Tessa Dare on My Fake Rake Living their best life

Waiting for a Scot Like You

For a merry widow and a stoic major, it’s a bumpy road to love. . . .

Adjusting to life in peacetime isn’t easy for Major Duncan McCameron. Escorting a lady on her journey north seems like the perfect chance to give him some much-needed purpose. That is, until he learns the woman in question is the beautiful, bold, reckless Lady Farris. . . 

Beatrice, the Dowager Countess of Farris, is finally free of a stifling marriage and she has no plans to shackle herself to any other man. Ready to live life to the fullest, she’s headed to a week-long bacchanal and the journey should be half the fun. Except she’s confined to a carriage with a young, rule-abiding, irritatingly handsome Scottish soldier who wouldn’t know a good time if it landed in his lap. . . 
Between carriage crashes, secret barn dances, robbers, and an inn with only one bed, their initial tension dissolves into a passion that neither expected. But is there a future for an adventure-loving lady and a duty-bound soldier, or will their differences tear them apart?

/ / / / The last installment in Eva Leigh's "Union of the Rakes" series, inspired by The Breakfast Club and other movies of the 80's. 

The Union of the Rakes

omg the narrator’s scottish accent cracked me up lmao i’m so sorry to them but it was not good HAHA i rly liked duncan!! liked how lady farris kind of transformed him. also liked how competent he was lol love a competent man, and loved how his experience in the war wasn’t glorified at all like he hated being called a hero 😭😭😭 this book is steamier than would i lie to the duke, which personally was not rly for me lol so i almost gave up like 60% of the way through the book (what else is new) but i enjoyed how it wrapped up, tho again i think its silly duncan [SPOILER] didn’t think of an alternate solution outside of marriage earlier lol. [/SPOILER] love rowe and curtis and wish they had their own damn book dammit!!!

Eva Leigh concludes her Breakfast Club and 80s movie-inspired Regency series with a merry widow and a stoic major on a bumpy road to love... Adjusting to life in peacetime isn’t easy for Major Duncan McCameron. Escorting a lady on her journey north seems like the perfect chance to give him some much-needed purpose. That is, until he learns the woman in question is the beautiful, bold, reckless Lady Farris. She makes his head spin and being alone together will surely end in disaster. Beatrice, the Dowager Countess of Farris, is finally free of a stifling marriage and she has no plans to shackle herself to any other man. Ready to live life to the fullest, she’s headed to a week-long bacchanal and the journey should be half the fun. Except she’s confined to a carriage with a young, rule-abiding, irritatingly handsome Scottish soldier who wouldn’t know a good time if it landed in his lap. But maybe a madcap escapade will loosen him up... Between carriage crashes, secret barn dances, robbers, and an inn with only one bed, their initial tension dissolves into a passion that neither expected. But is there a future for an adventure-loving lady and a duty-bound soldier, or will their differences tear them apart? Don't miss the earlier books in the Union of the Rakes series—My Fake Rake and Would I Lie to the Duke are available now!

Best word to describe this read: HOT.
 
Let's be real, I wasn't expecting much from this but was left pleasantly surprised by the semi enemies turned lovers storyline that was happening. The scorching hot attraction between Beatrice and Duncan was woo-wee! The dirty talking was right up my alley, steamy scenes left me wanting more, the funny banter meant everything to me and how their relationship fell into place made this a fun-filled read. 
 
The characters significantly Beatrice were a standout. The widow, who already had grown children and was 20+ years older than our dashing hero, was a straight shooter and filled with the confidence most heroines lack in romance novels. Shit in any novel. Besides that, what I enjoyed the most about this romance was the fact that the characters were more mature than what's accustomed. Duncan was thirty-four and Beatrice was late forties/early fifties. It was refreshing and well received on my end.
 
So would I recommend this? Hell yeah! Pick this up now, you won't regret it.

Waiting for a Scot Like You was a rollicking roadtrip adventure with so much sexual chemistry the carriage should have left flame tracks like a Delorean behind it.

Major Duncan McCameron is a stern rule follower in the streets and rule maker in the sheets, and made sure our Lady Farris was taken care of in all the ways.

I especially appreciated the age-gap (Duncan is 12 years younger than Beatrice who is a widower) and how Lady Farris refused to compromise her position in life.

You all need this, and please DM me when you hit the nod to Footloose!

Thank you to Avon and Edelweiss+ for the advanced reading copy.
