Maddie and Logan have amazing chemistry! I must say, I felt a bit rushed at the end. This novel had a slow burn, but I think it was the perfect kind of build up. I wished the "I love you" moment had happened in a different setting.

At this point it's almost scary how consistently endearing Tessa Dare's novels are. Even with the formulaic structure, one can't help but be enchanted by the charismatic leads, and feeling all warm and fuzzy when the story reaches its expected happily ever after.
For me, When a Scot Ties the Knot is not as strong as the other Tessa Dare books I've read (those being Romancing the Duke, and Do You Want to Start a Scandal), mainly due to the absence of a substantial narrative through-line; lengthy buildups often get quickly resolved (or completely abandoned), and the plot is burdened with events that ultimately lead to no relevant consequence. The nonsensical padding feels a little glaring in this entry.
But the shortcoming in plot is quickly made up by the power couple; Madeline and Logan is the most dynamic Tessa Dare pairing I've encountered thus far, primarily due to Logan's lively, rambunctious personality, who teases and flirts with Madeline at any opportunity, instead of usual mannered, austere romantic interest who takes time to warm up. The expertly written, and sassy moment-to-moment interaction between the leads is what's keeping this book afloat.
All in all, When a Scot Ties the Knot is another enjoyable entry, even if it is at times lean on story, the charming couple will keep you entertained.
