A review by plottrysts
The Scot Who Loved Me by Gina Conkle

3.0

The Scot Who Loved Me starts off with an interesting premise - Anne , twice-widowed, shows up in the jail cell where her first love, Will, is being held prisoner. She bribes the guards to let set him free, and then coerces him into helping her with a complex heist. The promising beginning includes a ton of sexual tension and backstory, and we were looking forward to watching everything play out. Unfortunately around the halfway mark the heist action slowed down and the bedroom action didn't ratchet up to compensate. All in all, while this is an interesting take on the aftermath of the Jacobite rising, the romance was less than compelling.

This objective review is based on a complimentary advanced reader copy of the novel.
