This is honestly one of the best historical romances I have read in a LOOOOONG while. So long that I have started to drift away from them a little just to take a break but after watching a recommendation video from peacelovebooks I decided to read a sample first and immediately got pulled into it. *chef’s kiss*
This is my first Maya Banks book and it was soooo sweet! Such a gentle love between a deaf heroine and strong Scottish laird. The narrator of the audio was excellent in her soft delivery. The description of hearing the vibration of his voice was so effective and gave me all the feels. Bravo!
One of the better Maya books that I have read. Loved the characters.
El libro me gustó mucho más de lo que imaginé.
La trama y la escritura de la autora me han dejado gratamente sorprendida. He llorado tanto leyendo los malos tratos hacia Eveline... de verdad tenía que parar mi lectura porque mis ojos estaban demasiado llorosos y no podía ver las letras del libro. La forma en la que están descritos los personajes es magnífica, me encariñé con todos e incluso perdoné los malos tratos de unos cuantos.
Eveline sin dudas es mi personaje favorito de la historia, es alguien tenaz, inteligente, valiente y simplemente muy virtuosa. Me alegro mucho de que tenga a su lado a alguien como Graeme, él la valora con cada pedazo de su alma. El amor incondicional que se tienen entre ambos es tan potente y hermoso, merece respeto.
Los hermanos tanto de Graeme como de Eveline; me han encantado. Me he encariñado muchísimo con todos ellos e incluso no fui rencorosa con algunos personajes del clan Montgomery.
Irreal el llanto que me ocasionó este libro, tal vez no era para tanto pero yo llegué a sentir tanta impotencia por Eveline, sentía que debía salvarla de todo pecado.
Me alegro muchísimo por el final que se obtuvo para el clan Montgomery y el clan Armstrong, sin duda el rey estará muy orgulloso de que su plan haya sido un éxito.

"Se paró frente a ella, simplemente mirándola, su mirada abarcando cada centímetro de su cuerpo.
Ella ladeó la cabeza hacia un lado.
—¿Por qué me miras así?
—Porque eres la mujer mas hermosa que he tenido el placer de contemplar."
"—Te amo Eveline—susurró, aunque sabía que ella no podía oírlo.—De alguna manera, haré que me escuches y sabrás que te amo tan ferozmente cómo es posible para un hombre amar a una mujer."

Anything that I can immediately see myself re-reading gets an automatic 5 ⭐️ rating.
I loved most everything about the book. I loved that the seemingly Alpha hero, who I was prepared to be as Alphole as the rest of them, wasn't really - he wasn't the uber-experienced, rough, demanding, and disrespectful type of Scottish hero that I've seen so many times. He was instantly tender and considerate and stayed that way throughout the book. Heroes like that always make the book for me!
The author really put the heroine through the ringer - a horse accident injury to cause deafness, a fear of a potential suitor, a forced marriage, hostilities in the new clan, old enemies coming back, and lots of aches/pains/bruises along the way. Ok. We get it that the stereotypical "wee lass" is hardier than we'd expect. I'm Team Eveline by the second evil to befall her. I kinda groaned when the maybe 5th thing came around to kick her while she's down!
My favorite parts are reading about disability in historical romance. It's a little rose colored, but then I realized that this whole series would be about scarred or disabled women, I was kinda down with reading about something a little different!

Quite possibly the best historical romance book I've read.
I’m not really sure what to make of the latest by Maya Banks. I don’t know what happened between writing her McCabe trilogy and the first in this new Scottish series; the McCabe’s were rough, tough, and fierce whereas the Armstrong’s and Montgomery’s don’t seem to have a clue of what’s doing around them. There was no real plot to Never Seduce A Scot at all.
Ok, so Eveline Armstrong suffered a tragic fall from her horse three years ago, the result being hearing loss and an inability to speak. She was on the verge of being forced to marry a brute of a man, but what man would want a daft woman as wife? And so, Eveline strings out her misfortune into three years in which she can truly hear and speak and yet keeps it from her family, the people she loves the most.
The king decries that a union should be had between two warring families, the Montgomery’s and the Armstrong’s and so it is decided that Eveline should marry Graeme Montgomery; the head of that clan. Eveline is on board all of a sudden to marry Graeme as soon as she hears his voice although she cannot understand what he is saying since he is turned away from her. All I kept envisioning when Eveline was in the any scene was Arial from The Little Mermaid, which kind of made me laugh.
There comes a point in Eveline’s new household when the servants turn against her and all of a sudden she finds her voice to scream and shout that she wants them turned out of the house. Not soon after she continues to speak as if those three years of silence had never been. Yes, there is some stuttering at the beginning as she starts to talk after not talking for years but that is quickly gotten over.
Oh, did I mention that everybody thought she couldn’t bear children just because she couldn’t talk? Needless to say Graeme did not want to have relations with his new wife who he thought was daft although he thought she had a smoking body. After it is learned that Eveline can talk and hear, Graeme consummates the marriage. And that is where I left off. I honestly don’t think I can finish the book, it is so unbelievably dull.
Honestly, I would have never expected anything from the author who wrote Seduction of a Highland Lass. Never in a million years.
The only good selling point is that I got through the book in only a couple hours. I really hate bad reviews but Never Seduce A Scot was a dismal bore for me. I am hoping the next one in the series; Highlander Most Wanted will be so much better.
