Full review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 Everything about When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare worked for me. Everything. Bust out the squee mop, y'all because this review is just going to be a flappy-hands Good Book Noise(r) mess. 
 Things this book has: 
 1. A sexy Scot hero I pictured as Sam Heughan. 
 2. A heroine who is a naturalist and illustrator. 
 3. Tons of UST. (Unresolved sexual tension) 
 4. A completely crazy sauce plot that Dare pulls off flawlessly. 
 5. A missing lobster. 
 The reason this book works beautifully is that both Maddie and Logan need to grow as people to find happiness. Maddie has been hiding from the world and lying to her family, and she needs to confront or at least meaningfully acknowledge her social anxiety. Logan is a hero who has no feels because he was abandoned as a child and as a result he is physically incapable of snuggles. He could have been an Old-Skool hero who walks around with his head firmly lodged up his butt, but Dare makes him empathetic and more than occasionally tender. The way he tends to one of his soldiers who was seriously injured in battle was enough to give me the sniffles. 
 Plus the sexual tension in this book was excellent. I was dying for the hero and heroine or, at least the fucking lobsters, to hook up already. 
 Overall, When a Scot Ties the Knot is sweet and funny and sexy. If you pick it up be careful though, I had to read it in one sitting. Be prepared to call into work with "food poisoning." Bad shellfish anyone?
