Written for: Beyond Reading 
 I loved Never Seduce a Scot. Totally, absolutely loved it. 
 I had my reservations going in because being deaf could obviously mean a lot of unnecessary drama and angst. I, apparently, should have had way more faith in Maya Banks. What I ended up reading was a strong, intelligent heroine who didn't dwell overmuch on her impairment. Eveline did have her own share of troubles and doubts, but she remained optimistic and sweet, even through the abuse of the Armstrong clan. Graeme was such an unbelievably sweet hero. I thought he would have been harsh, considering the circumstances and the fact that he was addled with a supposedly "touched" wife, but from the very start he was tender and strong and all that a woman wants a man to be. Together, Eveline and Graeme made the perfect couple; they supported each other and had a great attraction from start to finish. 
 Overall, every character was written well, including the less savory sort. Rorie, Graeme's little sister, made for a pleasant friend and Bowen and Teague, Graeme's brothers, added some excitement for future books with their own strength and wisdom, especially when a mysterious dark-haired woman made an appearance towards the end. 
 The plot was interesting and well-written and Never Seduce a Scot served as an excellent, unique historical romance.
