Never Seduce a Scot (The Montgomerys and Armstrongs, #1) by Maya Banks
Never Seduce a Scot by Maya Banks

Join us in reading this HR that features the theme Medieval. Happy reading!

Synopsis:

Eveline Armstrong is fiercely loved and protected by her powerful clan, but outsiders consider her “touched.” Beautiful, fey, with a level, intent gaze, she doesn’t speak. No one, not even her family, knows that she cannot hear. Content with her life of seclusion, Eveline has taught herself to read lips and allows the outside world to view her as daft. But when an arranged marriage into a rival clan makes Graeme Montgomery her husband, Eveline accepts her duty—unprepared for the delights to come. Graeme is a rugged warrior with a voice so deep and powerful that his new bride can hear it, and hands and kisses so tender and skilled that he stirs her deepest passions.

Graeme is intrigued by the mysterious Eveline, whose silent lips are ripe with temptation and whose bright, intelligent eyes can see into his soul. As intimacy deepens, he learns her secret. But when clan rivalries and dark deeds threaten the wife he has only begun to cherish, the Scottish warrior will move heaven and earth to save the woman who has awakened his heart to the beautiful song of a rare and magical love.

Lauren | 1370 comments I read this book early, and I agree, Mariana, this is MB's best book! It had my favorite tropes. I love a sweet, loveable h that melts a gruff H's heart.

I look forward to discussing the book when everybody else reads it

That describes this book exactly. Got a good start on it. I'm curious to see how the h fares in a hostile environment.

Lauren | 1370 comments It's hard not to root for her.

Oleander  | 263 comments That's true. Her secret is out now. I'm aggravated at the way she's letting herself be taken advantage of by the other women.

Lauren | 1370 comments Oleander, respect is not easily earned. I like that the women aren't easy to win over. She proves herself, and it makes me love her more.

Maureen, you've read them all. I'm glad you enjoy them so much! I liked In Bed With The Highlander. I think MB's sequels tend to be a downgrade. Sorry :( I didn't like book 2 for either series.

Mariana | 2692 comments I love this book! Although I've already read it four times, I will happily read again if I have time this month.
