Waiting for a Scot Like You audiobook

THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN! in this we have an age gap romance but with an older heroine (46) and a younger hero (34)she is a widow who is finally free from a controlled life and wants to experience everything. and one of those things includes traveling across country to attend an orgy 😂 her friends insist she has someone escort her there, so enter Major Duncan McCameron, a scottish man who loves rules and order. this book is basically if the "only one bed" trope was an entire plot. as they travel across the country they have to stay at inn's along the way as a fake married couple and share a bed 🥵 🥵 🥵

Lady Beatrice Farris is a widow, she's raised her children, lived a life with no agency and little pleasure, and now that she has freedom to live the life she chooses she rushes to do it, stopping along the way to take pleasure and joy where she finds it. Captain Duncan McCameron is tasked with escorting her to her chosen destination which is: an orgy. Duncan is a man of honor and responsibility and is finding the adjustment of living in peace times hard. Beatrice draws him out and encourages him to find joy in small things and take pleasure and happiness when it's in front of you. The two are drawn together, undeniably. A road trip gone wrong with lots of adventures and reasons to be in close proximity in compromising positions and soon sparks ignite. Duncan is a stern, grunty Scotsman, dominant in bed but always respectful and tender with his woman. Beatrice is fierce in pursuing the life of her dreams and tired of living a life she doesn't want. There's only one bed. Multiple times. References to Ferris Buehler's Day Off and Footloose were delightful. This book was a ton of fun, swoony, steamy, and a beautiful tone of love always winning despite the odds.

Feeling restless and aimless, Major Duncan McCameron agrees to do his friend a favor and escort Lady Beatrice, the Dowager Countess of Farris, on a journey. After surviving a miserable marriage, Beatrice is looking forward to freedom and a house party full of debauchery. She wants to be carefree, not follow Duncan's silly schedules and plans. When a carriage accident creates a snowball effect of misfortunes, it leads to the characters reconsidering their priorities.This is the third book in the Union of Rakes series, but can be read alone. There are some mentions of the previous couples, as well as drops from Leigh's book, Temptations of a Wallflower. This story is also a wink to 80s movie culture with references to The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller, Sixteen Candles, and Footloose.Age gap romances are usually my least favorite trope, but I couldn't help but root for these characters. Duncan is searching for connection and purpose; Beatrice is finally able to be herself and seek out new experiences. The road trip goes awry and becomes a little farcical, but it's fun and highly enjoyable. When they come together, it's sizzling hot! The scenes are super steamy and their sexy bedroom banter scorches the pages! 4.5 stars rounded to five.Tropes: Age Gap Romance, Older Heroine, Road TripEggplant Rating: 5 (two double oral scenes, two full scenes, one shorter scene)* I received an ARC and this is my honest review. #WaitingforaScotLikeYou #NetGalley

I loved this book! It’s very saucy, and the lengths the hero went to make the heroine happy had my heart swooning. The best part is the banter between the two, it’s hilarious. This is the my first older woman/younger man troupe. Recently widowed, Lady Beatrice is 46, she’s raised her children and has led a very stifled life with her husband. She now has the freedom to go out and live a life of her own. In having her freedom now that she’s widowed she has her mind set on, I’m embarrassed to say.. attending an orgy. A friend decides for her safety she should have the former Scottish soldier, Major Duncan McCameron, protect/escort her to her destination. Duncan’s struggling with how to live now that it’s peacetime. He wants a wife and a family, badly. He takes the job not knowing where they’re going, only to find out later. They have a powerful first attraction when meeting, a deep connection, and he’s really intrigued with her wanting to find her own happiness. This is their road trip to that destination where they fall for each other, but try NOT to fall for each other. Lady Beatrice isn’t looking for marriage. She had that and spent her life unhappy. And Duncan is afraid to start anything with her because he wants more than a one stand with her. This is my first book from this author. I liked it so much I plan on picking up another from her. This was so well done, I definitely recommend it.

✨Ferris Bueller but it fucks, a lot 🥵✨The Scottish accent was alarming in the audiobook like the sex scenes felt a little more angry than sexy to me but I’m here for it, why? Because this book was HOT. So hot that if you were planning to read this in public or without headphones, don’t. I think Eva Leigh’s dirty talk is my favorite. She loves filthy, crude words that set the mood and tone instead of “Oo baby, oh baby girl.” Like her characters fuck because they have the mouths to keep up and know how to properly use them. The bedroom talk had substantial depth for the character growth and really set my house on fire. I mean the premise is centered around her going to an orgy so this book best be hot right? CORRECT. Obviously it’s hot because of the main couple and no actual orgy occurred (just in case you were hoping they’d both get in on the action). Duncan was an orgy in his own right though, sweet Jesus. I loved the dynamic between the two. He was all stoic and hearty but like’d being bad and dominant because that’s not something he usually does, while she was the frisky character who knew what she wanted while also discovering she likes his power and size. I loved that she was 46 and had three children who were all decent! And that her dead husband was well, dead, and that he wasn’t much of a factor in the story. All we know about him is that he was no good in the bedroom and Beatrice was SICK of it. Also the ending was lovely and different and really tugged on ye olde heartstrings. I would have maybe wish for a bit more plot or pizazz, but this is truly a book about Duncan and Beatrice as characters. I also understood some of the 80s references but I’m excited to find out which ones I missed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 🌶🌶🌶.75/5

This took forever for me to finish mostly because the plot was a lot for our heroine. She wanted to go to an orgy and have sexual exploration which is something for me to digest?? LMFAO. But overall, it's a tenderly sweet road trip grumpy sunshine bodyguard historical romance.

This was freaking delightful for start to finish.

4.5 starsMajor Duncan McCameron has known nothing but discipline and war for years and is struggling to adjust to civilian life. When his friend the Duke of Rotherby asks him to escort a lady north it seems like an excellent getaway with a noble and useful purpose. He’s far less eager to depart when he learns the lady he’s to accompany is none other than Lady Farris, whose reckless disregard for the rules did not endear her to him the first time they met.Beatrice, the Dowager Countess of Farris, is just rediscovering herself after years of being suffocated under her husband’s thumb and she has no intention of ever marrying again. Eager for new experiences, her destination is a week-long orgiastic house party and she’s looking forward to the road trip north as well. But now she’s trapped in a carriage with a stuffy, Scottish former soldier who doesn’t know how to have fun in the slightest. She begins to think she knows how to loosen him up a bit along the way.Their trip is plagued with all manner of mishaps and new experiences, and the mild animosity between them electrifies into much more than either of them anticipated. But with a lady determined to experience everything and a strait-laced soldier who’s all too aware of duty and expectation, surely any attachment between them could only be temporary.I was certain this was going to be a hands-down five star read for me and it was, up until the last ten percent or so. It seemed to me that Duncan did an awful lot of compromising while Beatrice wasn’t willing to give an inch. This undermined their relationship for me a bit because it made it seem as if she didn’t trust him, despite how often he’d proven himself to be very different from most men. Duncan wanted desperately to be loved and to have a place to belong and while he did get that it did still seem a bit incomplete to me. I adored Duncan as a hero. He struggled with PTSD and that vulnerability combined with the fact that sex meant something to him, and that he felt things so strongly just made me want to give him a hug. His rigid and rule-abiding exterior hid a sensitive, tender-hearted, modest man who could also be dominant in the bedroom. AKA the perfect hero. I did love that Beatrice brought Duncan out of his shell and helped him enjoy life and in turn he made her feel beautiful and accepted for who she was, I just wish she hadn’t been quite so rigid. This is one of the best road trip romances I’ve read, and I didn’t want to put it down. I do wish we’d gotten a scene with just Curtis and Rowe just to glimpse how things were resolved between them and perhaps another meeting of the Union, but I loved that the series ended with them all together again. I recommend this for anyone that wants a fun, fast-paced and steamy, but also sweet and emotional, read.I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Blog link: https://mustreadalltheromance.blogspo...

Best word to describe this read: HOT. Let's be real, I wasn't expecting much from this but was left pleasantly surprised by the semi enemies turned lovers storyline that was happening. The scorching hot attraction between Beatrice and Duncan was woo-wee! The dirty talking was right up my alley, steamy scenes left me wanting more, the funny banter meant everything to me and how their relationship fell into place made this a fun-filled read. The characters significantly Beatrice were a standout. The widow, who already had grown children and was 20+ years older than our dashing hero, was a straight shooter and filled with the confidence most heroines lack in romance novels. Shit in any novel. Besides that, what I enjoyed the most about this romance was the fact that the characters were more mature than what's accustomed. Duncan was thirty-four and Beatrice was late forties/early fifties. It was refreshing and well received on my end. So would I recommend this? Hell yeah! Pick this up now, you won't regret it.

Waiting for a Scot Like You was a rollicking roadtrip adventure with so much sexual chemistry the carriage should have left flame tracks like a Delorean behind it.Major Duncan McCameron is a stern rule follower in the streets and rule maker in the sheets, and made sure our Lady Farris was taken care

A romance about a mature widow trying to find her identity after a aristocratic cold marriage. We start the story with her on her way to an orgy for the weekend and she is being accompanied by younger Duncan to protect her on her journey, a former General (in his 30's).They have chemistry and after some one bed situations find themselves in some steamy situations.I liked that this was a woman in her late 40's that was in those days well past her prime. But it seems the orgy really did want her there and there were bets on who would get her so Duncan did have competition, though not serious relationship competition, just sex.I also liked that Duncan was a tough man that was in touch with his emotions and what he wanted in life and kind of a Dom. LolI did read some reviews that there were parts of the book that seemed like it was in an alternate history than ours since there was a happy gay couple. I only saw two men telling their friend that they were together. It didn't seem like they told all of society that they were sleeping together. There were gay people then, how did they live I wonder? I want to see more gay couples in historical books cause it's not new. I'm sure they didn't tell anyone but those they trusted.Also, that they didn't get married and lived together. She was a widow and though it's frowned on its not inconceivable that with them being friends with a Duke that it wouldn't have happened. Widows have more leeway than debutantes especially since she was titled, idk. (view spoiler)[There are some parallels to some 80's movies like Ferris Buellers Day Off and Footloose. I wouldn't have noticed if someone else hadn't added it to their review. To be honest it's against the rules to dance in restaurants in Napa unless the place has a dance permit so I grew up in Footloose as well, lol. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐Steam:3 flames Thank you @netgalley and @avonbooks for the e-ARC for my honest and voluntary review  (hide spoiler)]

My favorite in the Union of the Rakes series! I felt this one was strong all the way through (unlike in several other Eva Leigh’s when I felt the book fell off during the third act conflict - like My Fake Rake and Temptations of a Wallflower). The premise is a new-to-me favorite: an older, widowed woman looking for fun and a hero looking for something more. The heroine in this book was Lady Beatrice Farris, who we met in book two of the series. After being widowed a few years ago and being officially out of half-mourning, she is looking forward to enjoying life again, getting as much joy as she can, and re-learning who she is. She’s an absolute delight!Major Duncan McCameron is one of my favorite types of heroes: a Scottish war vet who’s stern and brooding. He’s a stickler for time schedules and following the rules, and the happy, carefree widow irks him because she gets a rise out of him.They have a road trip romance after their mutual friend requests Duncan escort her to the country… unknowingly, to an orgy she wants to partake in.The book was just so fun. I loved the characters together and separately, and as someone who doesn’t love road trip romances, I really found myself enjoying the hijinx and issues they ran into. They were steamy and sweet together, and I felt there was definitely emotional payoff on both sides as they revealed their past and why they feel they cannot be together - Duncan, following the example of McCamerson men before him, wants to marry and settle down but doesn’t feel he’s anyone’s first choice. Beatrice, after being duty-bound as a wife for so many years, refuses to marry.The third act conflict and resolution fit perfectly within the story, and I really liked the subplot with Duncan’s friends - the other two members of the Union of the Rakes, Curtis and Rowe.

After finishing the second book in the Union of the Rakes a few days ago, I was ecstatic to be approved for the ARC of this third installment. Now, I knew that these books were vaguely inspired by 1980s movies, but didn’t really notice that much in the first two books (I haven’t seen many 80s movies). But the references got a bit too on the nose for me here — the whole “we were more than our simple descriptors” bit at the end really pushed it over the edge. Plus a character literally saying “don’t you forget about me.” The conflict between Duncan’s strict rule-following and Beatrice’s longed-for freedom is very compelling (is this supposed to be a Ferris Beuller spinoff?). Both of their positions make perfect sense, especially given their backgrounds. The climactic failure to communicate was a bit blah, but more than made up for by the reunion. I LOVED the secondary romance of this book. I think there was a whole novel worth of story there (which I would have eagerly read), but it was sprinkled in and shown well in this book as well. I generally just really like road trip stories. There are so many opportunities for drama, for confinement in a carriage, for “only one bed” moments. The pacing of their relationship was a bit off for me, but overall just super well done. I’ve been recommending My Fake Rake for probably six months now, and I definitely recommend you finish out the series. Such fun!! I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC copy of this book, provided via NetGalley.Reposting for release day!

Ever since returning from war, Duncan McCameron has felt lost in the peace that is now his life. He isn’t sure of his purpose anymore, not until one of his best friends, Rotherby, offers him a position as estate manager and the chance to escort Lady Beatrice Farris on a week-long journey. The problem is, Duncan and Beatrice do not get along, and spending time cramped in a carriage together is a horrible idea to him. Beatrice and Duncan are complete opposites, but he is determined to see the lady to safety despite his dislike for her. But as they spend more time together and confront countless mishaps during their travels, the two slowly begin to connect and realize that their chemistry is most evident.I absolutely loved this book! I fell in love with the series after finishing Would I Lie to the Duke, so I had really high hopes for this one; it was everything I could have wanted and more. Duncan was a wonderful male hero who really grew and let go during his time with Beatrice, and I enjoyed watching him get out of his comfort zone and veer away from the strict path he thought he needed to follow. Beatrice was so free-spirited, and the two of them together were so entertaining. I also really enjoyed the inclusion of characters from the first two books of the series into this story; seeing the Union all together made my heart burst. This book had me laughing so many times, and the steam was *chef’s kiss.* Historical romance is a genre that I am still fairly new to, but with every one I read, I fall in love with it a little more. Waiting for a Scot Like You is my favorite of the Union of the Rakes series, and I would totally recommend reading it!A huge thank you to NetGalley and Avon for the ARC of Waiting for a Scot Like You by Eva Leigh!
