Emily and the Scot

I loved reading this book. It wasn't the first book I've read out of the Avon True Romance series, but it deffinetly was my favorite. Kathryn Smith held my attention throughout the entire book and I wasn't disappointed in the end.

Emily Fitzgerald and her family have been burdened with scandal since her bother, Richard, attempted to murder their half brother, Ewan. Her chances to make a good match seem hopeless but a top bachelor proposes to her. However, Emily has always been determined to marry for love. Fearing more scandal for turning down the proposal, she decides to vacation with Ewan in Scotland. She would be enjoying her vacation but Ewan's cousin, Jaime, and her are constantly arguing. Emily highly doubts that her and the brash scot will ever get along. This book is the sequel to a previous Avon True Romance, Anna and the Duke, but it's not really necessary to read that one to understand this one. Emily and the Scot is a watered down but well done type of love/hate story. Although Emily and Jamie never really hated each other their personalities just grate against one another's. The characters were vibrant and the romance managed to remain interesting throughout the entire book. I also really enjoyed the ending. The author showed great restraint in making it a happy but realistic one. Emily and the Scot and Anna and the Duke are two of the best books this series has to offer and I highly recommend them both.

The Avon true romance books for teens, are great! I have read all of the books in the series and I highly recomend all of them. Emily and the Scot was one of the better books. I won't tell you what the book is about, because I don't want to spoil it! I loved this book and I think any teen lookin for a little romance, without it being smut, would enjoy this book. Ps. Read samantha and the cowboy (I think it's farby the best one so far).

Emily Fitzgerald is eighteen years old. Her brother, Richard, attempted to harm their half brother Ewan, after Ewan inherited their father's title of dukedom. Emily just received a proposal from the Viscount Stanton, and refuses because she does not love him. Rather than facing gossip being spread about her by society, she decides to visit Ewan and his wife, Anna. There, she meets Ewan's cousin, Jamie McLaughlin. Emily mistakes him for a servant, leaving them to a fine start. They argue about almost anything known to man. But can there be something deeper, something that neither Emily nor Jamie realize? I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed Anna and the Duke, or for fans of the Avon True Romance series.

I have only read three of this series, but I do think this one has been the best so far. The mishaps and constant misunderstandings between Lady Emily and Jamie are often hilarious, and yet often sincere as well. By the end, you realize that they are so perfect for each other and it drove me crazy that they didn't see it! Emily moves to Scottland to escape the rumors sure to spread after she turns down a man of high standings and for her love of anything Scottish. She should be grateful anyone would want her to begin with, but doesn't want a boring life. She moves in with her 1/2 brother Ewan (From Anna and the Duke) and meets his cousin (from the other side of the family-he and Emily are not related) anbd they take an instant disliking to one another. Now, you know they end up together, after all this is a romance, so I urge you to reasd this and discover how. I'm sure you will laugh often and be moved as well. I know I was!
