After years as an agent of the secret Falcon Club, Lord Leam Blackwood knows it’s time to return home to Scotland. One temptation threatens his plans—Kitty Savege. The scandal-plagued lady warms his blood like a dram of fine whiskey. But a...more

Amazing! Perfect!! I would give it 10 stars cause I’m just delighted with it! I liked the story, liked the heroes, liked the emotions and passion and love. Liked the secondary characters, the Falcon Club members. Really liked the emotional fullness of the book. Soul struggles were vivid, heartbreaking. And my own heart was bleeding for heroes’ tragedies.

I would give it 10 stars cause I’m just delighted with it! I liked the story, liked the heroes, liked the emotions and passion and love. Liked the secondary characters, the Falcon Club members. Really liked the emotional fullness of the book. Soul struggles were vivid, heartbreaking. And my own heart was bleeding for heroes’ tragedies.

So, the principal hero – Scot Leam – is gorgeous. Handsome, tempting, intelligent and a spy (ok, ok, not exactly a spy but whatever). What else a girl can dream about?! Leam is natural. I mean he doesn’t feel like “a hero on paper” – he feels alive. He’s a bit too ideal (of course – hey, it’s a novel!) but it doesn’t annoy you. The Man in the book, the Principal Hero, must be like Leam. With schematic, dogmatic honor but human issues and fears, with flaws in his honor (for example: yes, they have Passion between them. So they have really hot sex. But it doesn’t occur to him that after sex they should marry in the first place = it’s a flaw in his honor). The flaws you can excuse because of the charm or maybe because of the challenges in his way to happiness.

The principle heroine – not very proper English lady Katherine – is quite nice. I was a bit annoyed with her “tell me the true! Oh, tell me the true” but on the other hand one can understand her stubbornness (common, your boyfriend IS a “spy” – if you’re not dull you should be concerned with the “true”!). So in general I liked her too. She was a libertarian though )) I do not like historical romances which give you a real state of things in Victorian England (no touching, no kissing , no sex – OMG, ladies don’t even know about sex!). But she was the way too contemporary. I can hardly imagine English lady who could say something along the line of “take me now!” when a man just looks at her )) I think she should be more discreet. But what I really liked about her is her dual nature: cool on the surface but hot on the inside.

The secondary characters. My first prize goes to Emily and Win. O God, they were so funny!! Especially Emily with her changing-every-week names! Marie Antoine – LOL. Great writer’s find! Win is charming. And mysterious: he is drinking like there was a great tragedy in his life (there was something about some dead girl as I recall), but he’s a great “spy”, intelligent and resourceful, devoted to his friends. Young and handsome, easy with the ladies )) I hope he’ll find his Great Love with Emily.. or should I say Boadicea? *just can’t stop giggle*

The plot. Cosy county inn where passion starts to burn. Picturesque Scotland where he discovers what he truly feels for her. Society London where all secrets reveal. And than again the cosy inn where they finally find their happiness. Bonus: tow plot turns with a) “Oh shit! What they’ll do now?” b) “Double shit! That’s awesome!”.

Ashe writes her story like a real romance queen – like an author who has a lot of writing experience and perfectly knows how to surprise, how to keep in suspense, how to make feel and empathize with heroes. I take off my hat to her – she has a great talent! And then – the sex. OMG, the book is sizzling! I can’t understand how she does it but the romance is so HOT! It is hot even when the heroes don’t have sex!! How could it be?? So, one more time, it’s 10 stars read! Can’t wait for the next book! I’m Ashe addicted now ))))

Her mother has let Kitty do as she pleases and that has always pleased Kitty very much.

DON'T READ it if you don't have the time to decipher the hero's lines.

Let me explain.

On the back cover of the book, the Scottish hero is described to have a 'rough brogue'. So in order to drill that in, the author decided to make things complicated for readers like me who are not so familiar with that accent. For the most part of the book, the hero's lines are written like so:

Después de confiarle su corazón y virtud a la persona menos indicada Kitty Savege está llena de rencor. Para ella no hay nada más importante que vengarse, y cuando por fin logra su cometido, se da cuenta que su reputación está hecha trizas.
Kitty quiere huir de esa reputación suya, pero al hacerlo queda atrapada con un conde que pondrá su vida de cabeza.

Leam Blackwood, está cansado de su vida de espionaje y aunque los recuerdos de su hermano y esposa lo atormenten, está decidido a regresar a casa con su pequeño hijo. Pero en el camino se encuentra con una pequeña chica escandalosa por la cual siente un gran deseo y el peor de sus males, unos celos desenfrenados.
Y aunque Blackwood, está decidido a no cumplir una última misión, cuando Kitty se encuentra en peligro, dejara su retiro para proteger a la pequeña mujer de sus tormentos.

Opinión:
Cuando un hombre se enamora, es el primer libro de la trilogía “Falcon Club”. Y como primer libro, ha logrado engancharme completamente para leerme sus dos libros siguientes.

Primero, esta es la primera vez que leo a esta autora. De hecho antes de este libro no tenía ni la menor idea de su existencia, pero ahora que la conozco, jamás voy a poder olvidarla, pues su forma de escribir me ha parecido excelente.

Además de que la historia se cuenta de una forma ágil y para nada aburrida, tenemos a dos protagonistas de lo más extraños.
Esta Kitty, quien en serio, en serio no es la típica chica tímida y recatada a la que estoy acostumbrada en este género, pues ella está más concentrada en si misma que en lo que la gente piensa. Y su lengua… realmente me divirtió mucho ver las respuestas viperinas que Kitty tenía.

Por otro lado, Blackwood resulto ser más que un espía malo malote, pues detrás del hay toda una historia de amor traicionado, celos y odio hacia uno mismo, la cual no me esperaba para nada pero igual disfrute mucho.

Sobre la narración de la autora, tengo que decir que quede gratamente sorprendida, pues además de ser muy ágil, es muy descriptiva. Entonces había momentos en los que en verdad me veía en una sala de baile y unas hojas más adelante era toda una espía para la corona xD

Así que, si quieren leer una historia de romance con toques de acción y una protagonista irreverente, tienen que leer este genial libro que los dejara deseando conocer más sobre el famoso y misterioso Falcon Club.(less)

I really did enjoy this book but the reason I left it at a 3.0 is because of the "love at first sight" romance and a few other quirks that disappoint me in a book were present. However, it is a great read for anyone who enjoys Regancy reads with a dash of spies, love and drama.

There are many highlights to the book. I enjoyed the glossary of Scottish terms at the beginning of the novel. Though I was familar with some of the terms, it was refreshing to have some way to know the terms used in the book. I also enjoyed the characters. Kitty was refreshing from the typical virgin heroine and I can appreciate a strong female character in her. I also really liked Emily and I know I would read a story about her in a heart beat. Sadly, she doesn't have too much of a role in the book. Leam is a solid hero, even if I couldn't understand him sometimes. I know that I am eagerly awaiting Wyn's story after this novel as well.

The writing overall was very good. However, I often had a hard time following what was going on. Not sure if I was tired or if it was the writing itself, but sometimes I had to reread a paragraph to get the gist. I also would have appreciated a paragraph break when the POV shifted and not just when a change of setting occured (maybe in the print version it's different, I was reading an ebook and I know that the setup differs with them).

My biggest peeve with this story is the "love at first sight" that is between Kitty and Leam. I can't stand "love at first sight" stories and I really didn't get the connection that happens in the prologue and is mentioned all the time throughout the book. It was just a little far-fetched to me.

Overall, the romantic scenes are great and so is the drama. Lots of twists and turn but I felt some of it was predictable. I also would have liked an epilogue, but everything was wrapped up nicely in the end anyways. Enjoyable read and I am looking forward to reading the next installment!(less)

He has returned after five years of service and retire to his home in Scotland. He only wants to leave every thing behind him and raise his son.

The first half of the book was really dull, nothing much happens besides most of the important characters getting stuck in a inn because of the snow.

The second half is so much better. There is spy work, plenty of smexy romance, and explanations about our hero.

Leam has a great burden upon his shoulders making him a flirt but never marriage material. Kitty thinks she is barren and since she is not a maiden, unmarriageable. They come together with a great passion.

I had some trouble following Leam's brogue. My first language is French and I sometimes find it difficult to read historical romance because of the vocabulary. Add to this the Scottish brogue and I'm lost! The author gives a Brief Scots Glossary, but it wasn't nearly enough. I almost gave up reading this book because of the first chapters, but I'm glad I kept reading.

After losing her innocence – in more ways than one – Lady Katherine Savage has given up any real hope of finding love. Then a snowstorm lands Kitty in a country inn, trapped for the holidays. Among those snowed in with her is Lord Leam Blackwood, a roguish Scotsman who tempts her, though for the life of her Kitty cannot understand why. What she does know is that Leam is more than he seems, and with no end to the snow in sight, she’s determined to ferret out his secrets. But will her quest cost Kitty her heart?

When a Scot Loves a Lady has danger, intrigue, and passion to spare! Katharine Ashe’s first Falcon Club book is an engaging story fans of historical romance are sure to adore. Kitty is a character I’d love to have for a friend, were she real. She’s smart, fun, and a great friend. There’s a series of events in her past that have hurt her and the vulnerability in Kitty made me want to see her find happiness. Leam, in turn, is a former agent that’s ready to quit and go home to Scotland. He’s tired of playing a role all the time and it’s easy to see why when he’s very unlike the persona he presents. I loved seeing the true Leam and watching him fall for Kitty (and her for him) made When a Scot Loves a Lady an enchanting read. A dash of danger and a healthy dose of intrigue add spice to When a Scot Loves a Lady, making it a well-rounded book.

When a Scot Loves a Lady is the first book in Ms. Ashe’s Falcon Club series, but fans of Ms. Ashe will recognize Kitty from a previous book, Captured by a Rogue Lord. There’s definitely some crossover between the Falcon Club series and Ms. Ashe’s last series, the Rogues of the Sea, but so far all of Ms. Ashe’s books can be read as standalones.

In my opinion, Ms. Ashe’s books have been getting better and better. I absolutely adored When a Scot Loves a Lady and I cannot wait for Ms. Ashe’s next Falcon Club book!(less)

Leam was certainly an interesting hero. A "spy" sort of, his disguise of being the backwoods Scot was good, but I liked him better when he was himself. Kitty was not a favorite heroine.

Originally published on The Librarian Next Door:

Lord Leam Blackwood is weary: weary of the secretive work he does as a member of the Falcon Club and especially weary of the guise he dons to fool society into thinking he is someone he is not. After years of working for the crown, Leam only wants to return home, even if it means returning to the place filled with the ghosts of his past. Instead, he finds himself stranded at a small inn at the same time as Lady Katherine Savege. Kitty may bear the title of “lady” but everyone knows of her scandalous reputation and her role in a corrupt lord’s downfall. Kitty has had years of practice masking her true emotions, hiding behind a carefully created persona. But when faced with Leam, Kitty finds her resolve wavering. In between foiling a potential Scottish rebellion and unmasking a blackmailer, these two just might discover the other’s secrets – and of course, fall in love in the process.

Katherine Ashe begins a new series with When a Scot Loves a Lady, the first of the Falcon Club novels, and she starts off very strong. Leam and Kitty’s story is filled with classic romance tropes (such as being snowbound in a small cabin or inn with the object of your desire) without ever feeling as it it’s cliched or over-the-top. It’s a sensual story with two main characters who want nothing more than to be happy and yet, for their own reasons, believe that happiness is not theirs to have. There’s also plenty of intrigue and mystery, as Leam tries to break away from the Falcon Club and Kitty gets caught up in his schemes.

When I first started reading, I thought I was going to tire quickly of Leam’s Scottish brogue, which Ashe writes out (meaning you as the reader are reading the Scottish words, instead of having his accent implied). It could have been too much, but luckily for us, Ashe soon reveals that Leam’s accent is merely for show and the Scottish words don’t distract from the story. (She also helpfully includes a short glossary at the beginning). Moreover, as the novel progresses, Leam’s accent makes him seem exciting and even a bit dangerous, instead of a posh lord. I loved how passionate he was (he is fond of quoting poetry and frankly, every hero should quote poetry to his heroine) and how quickly he pushes past Kitty’s emotional walls.

For long-time fans of Ashe, Kitty will be recognizable as the sister of Alex, the hero in To Capture a Rogue Lord. Ashe sprinkles a few mentions of Alex and Serena throughout the book, which I liked, but she also manages to connect the two stories, recalling plot points from the earlier book in the prologue as a way of setting up Kitty’s journey. Perhaps it’s just me, but I always appreciate it when authors take the time to consider how and where each new book is placed against those already published. It shows me that she has taken the time to develop her world and place her characters in context, indicating a level of care with her novel. But lest you think this is all familiar ground, Ashe brings in new characters (it is the start of a new series, after all) and sets the stage for the other members of the Falcon Club (I have my hearts set on a rematch between Yale and Emily Vale).

OH! And the best part? Ashe, who contributes to The Ballroom Blog, includes a scene at Lady B’s ball! (If you read The Ballroom Blog as religiously as I do, you will know what I mean.)

I will forever be thankful to Sarah MacLean (another historical favorite) for introducing me to Katherine Ashe, because I now can’t wait to read her exciting and entertaining novels (Regency spies! Hot Scottish men! What’s not to love?) and I’m eagerly awaiting the next Falcon Club book.(less)

While the idea for the plot was most likely a good one, the implementation of it was terrible. The author appears to have left some details in her head and not transferred them to the paper. Illogical jumps were made and assumptions of knowlege about the characters and their emotions made the book very difficult to follow.

The first half of the book was a bit slow, nothing much happened. It's not that it was bad, but it just told about how Leam and Kitty meet, how they have the feeling they know each other and how they're attracted to one another.

In the second half of the book, the story starts to flow and it becomes harder to put the book down. There is some more action, a few problems to overcome and a happy ending. I'm glad I read through to the second half of the book.
