It’s a dream come true for schoolteacher Hayley Smith. No homework to grade, no students to corral, no social media, Internet or cell phone…just a month amid the heather and rolling hills around Inverness. A brawny alpha male in a kilt is probably too much to ask for. But Hayley is in heaven ambling around Loch Ness, gazing and then…falling into the icy water, before being

Hot for the Scot,( Kilted Heroes #1), by Janice Maynard is a 2016 Kensington publication. I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This story is a lot of fun and a must read for fans of Outlander, or those who love Highlanders, and Scottish based romance novels.
Filled with visions of Harry Potter landmarks, and daydreams of Jamie Fraser, three best friends take off for Scotland on a romantic mission. Once they arrive, they agreed to spl ...more

I love Scots. I love reading stories about Scots. I want to visit Scotland someday. I want to bring Angus Munro home with me, in a kilt and keep him.
Janice Maynard brought the hills of Scotland to life in this wonderful story. She combined the history of Scotland with the beauty of this land, then she threw in a hot, retired football player. To sweeten the pot, she added a shy, open-hearted school teacher. To spice it up, she stirred in an u ...more

Hot for the Scot offered a lot of my favorites in one read. I received an early release copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This was not only a great romance but, it was also a great armchair travel book. Hayley Smith and her two best friends were very close when growing up. But, when they were teens their lives all take different paths, with moving to other areas and choices they make that cause them to not be able to spend as much time together as they did as children. But, o

Hayley and her friends are huge Outlander fans. They plan a fantastic trip to Scotland but decide to give up modern day niceties, specifically cell phones, and only communicate if they are in trouble. Hot for the Scot is the first book in the Kilted Heroes series and it is Hayley's story.
When Hayley is sightseeing she finds trouble pretty quick when she falls into the Loch. She's rescued by sexy, hot, Scot-Angus. Angus is fascinated with the American schoolteacher who won't use a cell phone. His ...more

This was a cute little read about 3 best friends to who head off to Scotland to find there own Jamie from outlander. Hayley and her two friends fly to Scotland and decide to split up so they can each have there own experience.

Think Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants meets Outlander. That describes Hot for the Scot by Janice Maynard perfectly. Although I have never been swept up in the craze drawn by the aforementioned movie, show and books, I loved this one. These sisters of the heart have drifted apart but are united by their love of a revered book Outlander and their fantasies about Scotland. They journey to the land of their dreams, where adventure waits and maybe even romance. Hot for the Scot is the first book of

Lady Maynard, you are one of my new favorite author !!! This first in a new serie was soooo sweet, i loved it ! As a great fan of Outlander, books and tv series, i just loved the idea of this new trilogy. And let me tell you 2 things now: 1 - i just can't wait to read the book 2 and 3 now !!!

Thanks to Lyrical Shine and Netgalley for the book in exchange for a honest review.
Ever since Outlander has become this giant hit, both the books and the show, people have been wanting to do a Scottish trip. See where Jamie and Claire stood, find the romance Claire found. It's a dream for most but Hayley got to do it with her two best friends. One month to explore alone and without technology, perhaps she'll find everything she's looking for.

I loved this story!
Hayley and 2 of her friends are going to Scotland for a month. Once they get there tho, they are going to split up and all go their separate ways for the month.
Hayley is staying at a so called B&B. This is not like any you have ever seen. She is close enough so sight see and relax. Hayley play life kind of safe so this is a stretch for her.

Hot For The Scot by Janice Maynard is a fun vacation of a lifetime read. I loved the beginning where the three female friends are together pretty much getting on each other nerves. I remember thinking Ms. Maynard has done some traveling herself to peg how time changes and traveling fatigue magnifies every quirk that normally does bother a person. I knew right then that I was in for a fun read.

I was provided an ARC for HOT FOR THE SCOT by NetGalley and Kensington Books in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this book. Truly. It’s got it all:
Witty, well-written dialogue.
A fast pace.
A sympathetic main character with a great sense of humor.
A hunky Scotsman with a to-die-for accent and a gruff, teasing manner.

Cute romance with a bit of heat. I love the idea of a group of girlfriends traveling to Scotland for adventure and maybe a happily ever after. The story was very well written and it's entertaining. It would make a nice beach read or airplane companion as you head out on your own adventure (or to a conference you don't want to attend). I was a bit surprised at how rigidly Hayley stuck to the no-technology rule, but that's just me. It did say a lot about the conviction of our heroine.

I really liked Angus, "I didn’t mean anything by that remark. It was true. I was sweaty, and my clothes were covered in muck. But Angus apparently took my statement as an invitation. “God in heaven, woman,”he growled. “Don’t say things like that when I can’t do any damn thing about it.” I really did love Angus, “you can ask me anything, little peach. I’m no’ likely to deny you at this point.” I really enjoyed this book I loved Angus. ...more

Hot For The Scot is a cute and romantic book that emphasizes the importance of friendship, while also encouraging an adventurous spirit and an open heart. Janice Maynard writes a beautifully descriptive story that weaves gorgeous scenery with delicious romance, humor and human kindness. A perfect little vacation read!

I'm sorry, but I couldn't connect to the heroine and if a book is written in first person, I absolutely have to comprehend the main character in order to enjoy the book. I might have liked it more written in third person, it's not bad ...

This has been on my TBR list for so long on my shelf and on this cool rainy day I finally sat down and enjoyed it! This series is one for fans of Outlander and follows the journey of three friends on holiday in Scotland setting out to meet their own Jamie Fraser! This story followed Hayley and her dashing hero Angus and as a long term fan of Ms Maynard's work I was not disappointed. Angus was the perfect male lead and their swoonworthy story gave me all the feels.

This looks like it's going to be an interesting series. Three friends decide to live an adventure after watching and reading about romance in Scotland. The first book puts us in Scotland and the three have arrived and are going their separate ways. Hayley is a schoolteacher and she meets Angus Munroe a retired footballer and we watch a relationship develop between them.

I bought this on Kobo when it was a great deal just as another romance book. Really enjoyed it, though the steam level was lower than I was looking for. I loved the chemistry between these two characters (Angus is hot AF but also super sweet and I love him). Not my favourite but still super enjoyable and I sped through it. Will most likely pick up the other books in the series.

Barely 3 stars. I didn't really care for the heroine. She was annoying (the whole Outlander obsession plot was cringe-y).

Hayley and her two friends are Americans who decide to travel to Scotland for a month long vacation. They all want to push their boundaries and learn to live without their electronics for a while. Hayley is a HUGE fan of the Outlanders series so that was one of her big reasons for choosing Scotland as her vacation destination. One of her first days their she falls into the water at Loch Ness and is rescued by a Highlander named Angus. Angus isn't used to people not recognizing him because he use

I'm not usually into stories told in the first person narrative. I'm more into the third person narrative because I like to see into the minds of both the hero and the heroine but this story got me hooked and I couldn't put it down until the very end. This story is told from our heroine's pov, Hayley, who is embarking on a solo journey to Scotland to kind of find herself and maybe some romance as well. It was a very cute story and the reason why I didn't mind so much the first person narrative i

This is a new author for me and I'm so glad I found her. I love this book. She expressed exactly how I felt when I visited Scotland a couple of years ago and felt such a strong connection there and wondered if the fantasies and time travel I've read so much about really existed and would love to experience the magical feeling and find your true love. But reality doesn't work out that way for us regular people, or does it? This was a wonderful story of these three childhood friends that ...more

Janice Maynard came to the writing life early! When her third grade short story, “The Princess and the Robbers”, won a red ribbon in a school arts fair, Janice was hooked. She followed up that early success with a more commercial piece in the sixth grade… “Why My Mom Loves To Drink Coke”. No advance for that one, but she won a six-pack of Coke… remember those great little bottles?
