Amanda's review: 
 Wild Wicked Scot is a story of political intrigue and second chances. It is the first story in a newseries and I found it to be very entertaining. Margot Armstrong, an Englishwoman, is 17 and a little boy crazy and living the life of luxury. Her father has arranged a marriage for her to a Scottish Highland laird, in order keep the fragile peace between England and Scotland. A marriage of convenience wasn't what she had in mind and Margot found being married to a stranger and living in Scotland hard. They constantly fought and finally after 4 months she had enough and left him. Now it is 3 years later and she is forced to return by her father in order to find out if he is still loyal to the Queen or secretly rebelling as a Jacobite. Somehow she is going to have to walk a fine line in order to ferret out his secrets and keep him from finding out why she returned. 
 After meeting the author this year at a historical author's event, I was intrigued with her new series and couldn't wait to read it. It took me by surprise it wasn't your typical story of second chances because I couldn't see how Margot was going to come out of this a winner. Her behavior and immaturity had made her behave badly and she had too much going against her. It took a bit of time and perseverance in order to make progress with his clan and with Arran. It also wasn't easy to like either Margot or Arran but over the course of the story they eventually won me over by the story's end. Each had to grow up a bit and consider the other's point of view and make a greater effort to get to know their spouse and work at their marriage. 
 I have enjoyed other Julia London stories and this one is no exception. The plot and character development kept me involved and made me want to finish reading to see how it was all going to play out. Scottish highlanders and the exploits are a favorite of mine to read so I am 100% invested in reading the others in the Highland Grooms series.
