I hate Logan MacTaggart. He’s rude, crude, and the last man on earth I’d ever get involved with. But every filthy thing he says makes me want to rip his clothes off. Or smack him. Sometimes both. Logan tempts me to do naughty things in inappropriate places, and I can’t resist giving in.Serena Carpenter is a bitch. Every time she slaps me and calls me disgusting, I want to drag her into the … the nearest dark corner and show her exactly how rude I can be. The last thing I want is a relationship. Once I seduce her, I’ll walk away. After all, an ex-spy doesn’t get a happy ending.
If Logan and I didn’t work together, maybe we could stay away from each other. But I see him every day, and the more I see him the more I crave that infuriating man. It’s not fair for a jerk to be so hot and irresistible. We’re completely wrong for each other. But maybe…

I’ve been reading the series and even though this stands alone, you’ll want to read the other books too. This starts out with a hero you KNOW you are going to hate. He’s too full of himself and just downright wrong. She’s a single mom who knows better but their chemistry is off the charts and if they can stop fighting long enough they just might find an HEA. Fast moving and easy to read, you’ll have to plow through the first few chapters. You won’t like Logan but keep reading. Serena is absolutely the wrong woman for him but somehow they manage to set the scenes on fire and it seems that she’s the only one who can really handle him. They are well suited and they definitely light a fire. By the end, you’ll want your own Hot Scot (well maybe with a little taming). (I voluntarily reviewed and ARC).
What does a spy do when he retires…..
Lethal in a Kilt is the seventh book in the Hot Scots series and is the story of Logan and Serena. This is a fun, smexy, humorous and action packed story. The story-line is nicely plotted and paced and the characters are well developed. There were a few points where I wanted to box both their ears but then I would laugh at something and all was forgiven. I enjoyed this book and Anna Durand’s writing and storytelling abilities.
I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
I LOVED this as its filled with sass, sexiness and danger as well as all kinds of Scots. I was absolutely enthralled with everything about this story. The characters are fun, interesting and I couldnt get enough. This is my favorite story so far (I’ve read/listened to 3) and will go on my re-listen list.
That Logan! He is sooo sexy! His confidence adds to his attraction. I totally agree with Serena that his different voices and looks he gives just add to his charm. I really enjoyed getting to know him. He has quirks and issues but its easy to over look them because….well..the charm he exudes.
Serena is completely against anything Logan. Until he starts working for her boss. I would LOVE to be her…in the office..with his sexy voice whispering in my ear and his lips randomly being pressed against mine. Yeah..Im pretty sure I could do that. Really she is a wonderful character but sorry Logan wins as my fav in here.
As for secondaries her boy is a perfect teenager. I love kids in books and Chase is no exception. He adds innocence and charm to the story. Of course I enjoyed Logan’s sisters and Alex not to mention all the other MacTaggarts we run across.
I did listen to this on audio. Shane East and Emma Wilder completely ROCKeD this one! They really added to the story with their narration. A perfect one to re-listen to over and over.
This is hot, romantic, amusing and fun. Logan has been hot for Serena since the minute he had laid eyes on her. Serena wanted nothing to do with the rude, crude and arrogant man. When Logan’s cousin begs him to come to work for him, he does. The minute he see Serena he starts a campaign to get her to have sex with him, which she keeps telling him won’t happen, even though everything he does turns her on. They start to get thrown together by everyone, and eventually Serena gives in. They argue every time they’re together, because both are fighting the feelings they have for the other. Logan is very funny when he’s trying to irritate Serena, and he’s a sweet, romantic and caring person. Serena is a widow who is afraid to love again, but she can’t help falling for Logan once he starts showing the sweet, charming man he is under the crude facade. This is part of a fascinating series of Highlander’s and their women.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
this was a lovely story to sink into for an evening. Logan MacTaggert is central to this story. After a life in the army and as a spy at MI6, he is hired by his cousin Evan in his security company. The underlying idea is to link him to Serena Carpenter. She has been a widow for 10 years and the best friend of Evan’s wife. At first it seems as if they hate each other, but both have thoughts of sex when they see each other. Thinking that 1x sex can rid them of those thoughts turns out to be anything but true.
A nice story in which the role of family and commitments is strong.

Sexy, sexy, sexy! And oh so fun!
My favorite part of Logan and Serena is their snark, their banter, their downright dislike of one another. I love seeing their relationship actually change and grown into what it was always meant to be. The characters are well developed. We get a lot of their backstory to help us see where they are coming from. This is a very good story with lots of heat and sweet. I enjoy this book very much and I will certainly look for more of this series and catch up.

A steamy and sexy read. Logan and Selena had been playing at hating each other for a while. Now they are forced in close proximity and have to confront their real feelings. It is a turn paging story filled with wonderful characters and lots of witty conversations. You will enjoy getting to know this big clan of Scots and the strong women who love them. You will laugh at their antics and enjoy the action as they do.
Logan MacTaggart was flown by private jet from Scotland to Carrefour, Colorado by his cousin Evan to interview at his company Evanescent Security Technologist to be his head of security. Actually, what was really going on was that Evan and his wife Keely were matchmaking. They were trying to set him up with Evan’s assistant Serena Carpenter which was also Keely’s best friend too. Logan and Serena had known each other for approximately right months, but whenever they were near each other all they could do was argue. Logan had been in the military and MI6 until three years ago. He feels that after that type of service that he was not the relationship type of guy, but no one seems to agree with him. Anyway he agrees to take the position for a short time even though he ends up bored to no end in just a few days. He has no idea what he supposed to be doing for Evan. Logan’s three sisters even come for an extended visit. Serena and Logan just cannot seem to keep their hands off each other.
You will experience every emotional gambit during this book from crying, laughing, all of it. The whole thing is unbelievable, there was a little of everything in this book mystery, intrigue, with a twist here , and a turn over here. You will not be able to put this book down until you finish it.

LETHAL IN A KILT is the seventh book in the Hot Scots series. Each is a stand-alone romantic suspense with interaction from the previous and upcoming couples. Though there is no need to have read the previous stories, I highly recommend all of them.
You can only fight the attraction for so long; especially when one of you is an American and the other is a sexy MacTaggart.
I loved this older woman-younger man, later in life romance which only emphasizes that love doesn’t know our ages.
Because Logan is an ex-spy – who doesn’t quite remember to leave it at ‘ex’ – there is a bit of dashing adventure that is the cause of Serena’s fear of commitment. I love that they TALK… sometimes very loudly… to work things out as more mature people are more apt to do. It can be frustrating to always read of immature twenty-boppers who haven’t learned to communicate.
This was a fun, well-written story with wonderful characters, a bit of adventure, and some sweet, yet steamy love. I loved the story and I love the series.
The next two “victims” of the MacTaggart love bug, Catriona MacTaggart and Alex Thorne had their story start here… well, actually it started ten years ago. I’m looking forward to their second-chance romance in IRRESISTIBLE IN A KILT.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

I’ve read several books written by Anna Durand; she has done a great job at writing a good book; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

The Scots of the MacTaggart clan have been dropping like dominos by falling for strong, passionate Americans. And, it’s Logan MacTaggert’s turn to drop. Logan and Serena get along like oil and water, but both are fighting the attraction neither can deny. These two are well written, interesting characters and the chemistry between them undeniable. The book is fast paced, has some compelling twists and turns, and great sizzle. A great addition to the Hot Scot Series.
I received a copy of this book from Booksprout and this is my honest review.
For two people who are convinced that relationships are not for them and the snarky retorts being thrown back and forth, the sparks dont just sting they explode into one awesome love story. For Logan and Serena their adventure starts with the idea that they are so not right for each other to a mystery that takes them across the pond to a meet and greet with three more MacTaggart family members and a love story to rock you to the bones. Wonderful imagery, heartfelt romance and a tease for the next love affair.

Condescending.
That’s Logan and the males in his family and I wasn’t down with it in the work place.
Serena is a hardworking single mom in Utah. Logan is a bricklayer from Scotland working security for his cousin.
Logan has a jones for Serena for eight months but he goes about it all wrong and inappropriately.
I liked Serena.
Logan MacTaggart and Serena Carpenter work together but cannot stand to be around each other. Actually Logan, a retired James Bond type, gets bored and knows he can get on Serena’s last nerve as he flirts with her and enjoys her determination to resist him. But both of them are starting to feel an attraction and their chemistry starts to sizzle. Is there actually something there for them? Could they really have a relationship? Those bad boys can be soooo enticing!
This was a fun book because family matchmakers get involved and Logan and Serena are so determined to avoid each other, so you know the situations are going to be laugh-out-loud funny. I loved the characters and the clever story line that led the reader through this lovely game. Grab your copy and see if they get caught up and find that HEA after all!
I thoroughly enjoyed this enemies to lovers book. The characters had depth and complexity, the story was unique, and the dialogue was hysterical. I have to confess this is one of my favorite tropes and the author did a wonderful job presenting this story.
Serena Carpenter is a widowed single Mom raising a teenage son and working for her best friend’s husband as his executive assistant. Logan MacTaggart is former British Army, Mi6 and a womanizer. His cousin Evan asks him to work for him at his security technology company. Serena and Logan cannot stand each other. She thinks he is rude, crude and lewd. He thinks she is a *itch. Evan asks Serena to show Logan around the company and get him oriented. Logan takes pleasure in instigating a kissing campaign and they have a disastrous encounter in the copy room. They eventually give in to the pressure to spend time together and begin a sexual relationship. Their feelings develop and they fall in love but it takes a lot of work before they can get their HEA.

Dang, but those Scots in the MacTaggart family are HOT, HOT, HOT!!!
This storyline was a bit different because here we have a younger man pursuing an older woman who also happens to be a widow with a teenage son. The tension that occurs due to their strong physical attraction to each other just snap, crackle and popped right off the page! A sexy spicy fervent enemies-to-lovers romance that takes us around the world with danger tracking their every move while raw physical attraction turns into a deep abiding forever love!! Logan finds himself faced with the question, can an MI6 agent ever really retire and find meaning to life outside of the adrenaline-fueled existence that has been his life for so many years? While Serena has her own question of whether she could ever be willing to entrust her heart to another man after having had to suffer through the loss of her first husband and the pain that caused. Can they find what they are looking for in each other? The snappy banter between Logan and Serena was so full of snark and sarcastic barbs it was like waiting for a volcano to erupt after numerous seismic warning shocks and tremors!! Another excellent book by an excellent author complete with a glimpse into the next one in this large clan to succumb to the loss of their single-hood!

The MacTaggart clan is large with many offspring and offshoots. These salty Scots and bonnie, brav lasses are full of a list for life and stubborn and tangled loves.
Logan is a real life Bond style spy/ military guy. Life behind a desk is a completely boring thing for him. Life down range a bit too fast as long as he’s been at the game.
Serena is a widowed single mom, whose husband was an special operator with the US military. An arrogant mostly retired spy warrior has too much lethal baggage for her to hang onto
Can they get past their egos and limits and let themselves live full lives, and love each other?
Action packed romance

He’s the rough and tumble James Bond sort; she’s the nurturing widow and single mother… and the matchmaking begins.
Serena Carpenter’s disdain for retired MI6 agent Logan MacTaggart is understandable with his arrogant and crude ways, but she can’t deny he’s hot. When her boss and Logan’s cousin, Evan, hires him to head his security team, Serena is appointed Logan’s company tour guide which leads to interesting liaisons in various parts of the building. Why is she so attracted to this jerk?
Logan MacTaggart is bored at his new job, so he’s having fun pestering his cousin’s harpy assistant, Serena, by seducing her despite her apparent dislike of him. Why is he suddenly so attracted to her and why is he opening up to her about his past?
I love Anna Durand’s books. They are full of hot sex, adventure, and so much laughter. I found myself laughing-out-loud at the antics of the Witches of Ballachulish (Logan’s sisters) and the hilarious flirting and sexy banter between Serena and Logan. Of course, the sex scenes are hot and I will never look at a copy room the same again. In addition, I enjoyed the love between Evan and Keely and the MacTaggart family dynamic.
Though this is book 7 in the Hot Scots series, it reads well as a standalone. I plan to read the rest in this series and look forward to Alex and Catriona’s story which is a teaser in this book. Recommend highly!
Thank you to Ms. Durand for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
