How the Scot Was Won: A Desperately Seeking Duke novella

I never normally like the .5's but this author is a true master of it and I enjoyed this one again immensely. Ro the point and including all the great moments to make it special.

I purchased this book and look forward to reading it. This book is 2.5 in the series which I have enjoyed.Question as to why the printed book is a different size and format?

Nice story very enjoyable

A marvelous story. Andrew is a loving brother who would sacrifice anything for his family. Getting a surprise inheritance is the opportunity for him to make their life even easier. Ilsa is a widow who wants nothing more than to be able to enjoy the freedom she has been denied previously. The story shows how plans can change when you meet the right person. It also underscores how important the support of family and be. The characters are magnificent. The author shows how strong women can be and allows for the men to play an important supportive role that makes them a great partner. There is hilarity and witty conversations throughout. Truly beautiful.

Oooh! This book had all the feels! I loved reading Agnes and Felix’s story after having been introduced to their troubled romance in the last book. I really appreciated how their troubles were handled. Instead of being the usual Big Misunderstanding, this one made so much sense after how things had progressed between the two. I’d like to imagine that maybe Mrs St James and Lord Duncan fall in love as well. (I’m such a hopeless romantic!) This book was both very well written and well edited. (I only spotted two tiny editing errors.) All in all, this was a lovely story which I will doubtless be rereading often in the future.

This was a lovely story about Felix and Agnes. It coincides with the story of Drew and Isla that is found in A Scot to the Heart.After having read that book, where Feluz and Agnes are introduced, I was hoping that we would find out what their story was. I thoroughly enjoyed both books. Even though both can be read as a stand alone, they're better together.

There were glimpses of Agnes and Felix’s romance in “A Scot to the Heart” and this novella did not disappoint. It also was a reminder of the wonderful romance between Andrew and Ilsa.

Caroline Linden spins lovely, well-written stories. If you've read Scot to the Heart, you'll know some of the characters here. But this story stands alone as Agnes becomes better acquainted with her brother's childhood friend.This novella can be read in a few hours.
