    “Karen Ranney writes with power, passion, and dramatic flair.”
    —Stephanie Laurens

    “Ranney is a rich, rare find!”
    —Judith Ivory

    A Scandalous Scot is a scandalously entertaining tale of love and passion in the Scottish highlands from the queen of the Scottish historical romance novel, Karen Ranney. New York Times bestseller Ranney tells the tantalizing story of a handsome, haunted Scotsman returning in disgrace to his castle in Scotland after scandal ruined his reputation…only to court further damage to his name by falling in love with his maid, a feisty and outspoken beauty who hides some very shocking secrets of her own. Fans of Karen Hawkins and other bestselling historical romance writers who make the breathtaking highlands their preferred milieu will be swept away by this Scandalous Scot and his romantic trials, tribulations, and triumphs.

    Author

    Karen Ranney

    Karen Ranney wanted to be a writer from the time she was five years old and filled her Big Chief tablet with stories. People in stories did amazing things and she was too shy to do anything amazing. Years spent in Japan, Paris, and Italy, however, not only fueled her imagination but proved she wasn't that shy after all. Now a New York Times and USA Today bestseller, she prefers to keep her adventures between the covers of her books. Karen lives in San Antonio, Texas.

      Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of ths book through First Reads. All opinions, however, are my own.

      Historical romance is not typically my thing. Not only that, but the last couple of romances I've read have been positvely dreadful. Between those two facts, I did not have high expectations for this book. (Which, I suppose begs the question: why did I sign up for it? Who knows.)

      That said, this book was surprisingly enjoyable. Though I expected to trudge through it, I finished it in about a day. The author didn't get carried away with the flowery descriptions or declarations (as historical romance writers seem wont to do). The plot was engaging and not woefully predictable. I was actually surprised by a couple of the twists, something that doesn't happen often in a romance novel. The characters were likeable and relateable. It was refreshing to read about historical characters who had actual personalities and senses of humor; so often, dialogue in historical romances seems stilted.

      The only possible "con" I can give to this book is that it was light on the smut. But, having just read "Fifty Shades," I probably have unreasonably high expectations in that department. (And heavens knows this was much better written than "Fifty Shades," which more than makes up for any perceived lack of sex.)

      This is not a book I would have picked up on my own, so I am delighted that I was given a copy. I'll definitely be seeking out other books by this author.
