It's Getting Scot in Here (Wild Wicked Highlanders #1)
by Suzanne Enoch

Picture
The MacTaggert brothers are faced with a daunting task: all three of them must wed an English lass before their sister is married or they will lose their money. Amelia-Rose Baxter isn't thrilled that she must marry one of these boisterous Highlanders - but why couldn't it be Niall, the youngest and the one who enjoys sparring with her? Too bad he doesn't have the title her parents want...

I came late to this series, so I was interested in seeing how it all began. The MacTaggert boys are a lot of fun and the premise delightfully dresses up an old trope. But for the first half of the book... things just sort of happened. It was sweet, yet there was no tension (possibly because Niall's brother was MIA a lot). Things definitely picked up later - and if I was only judging the back half, then my review would be more favourable. I guess this book suffered from being the one to set things up.

A Swell Royal Romance

His Princess by Christmas by Therese Beharrie

Picture
Amari built her shop and staffs it herself, while trying to be a good single mother to her daughter, May. When a man claiming to be a prince offers to work for her, Amari accepts because she needs the help - but she doesn't believe his story. Until a reporter gets involved...

This was a sweet, adorable read and I liked experiencing different settings to what I usually encounter in royalty romances. The story fits the length and obviously as a Harlequin you don't expect it to go into as much depth on some things - but I really do think there should have been more of May. We didn't really get to "see" her.
