About this ebook

On the cusp of her first London season, Miss Madeline Gracechurch was shy, pretty, and talented with a drawing pencil, but hopelessly awkward with gentlemen. She was certain to be a dismal failure on the London marriage mart. So Maddie did what generations of shy, awkward young ladies have done: she invented a sweetheart.

A Scottish sweetheart. One who was handsome and honorable and devoted to her, but conveniently never around. Maddie poured her heart into writing the imaginary Captain MacKenzie letter after letter . . . and by pretending to be devastated when he was (not really) killed in battle, she managed to avoid the pressures of London society entirely.

Until years later, when this kilted Highland lover of her imaginings shows up in the flesh. The real Captain Logan MacKenzie arrives on her doorstep—handsome as anything, but not entirely honorable. He's wounded, jaded, in possession of her letters . . . and ready to make good on every promise Maddie never expected to keep.

Tessa Dare's sweetly written romantic fantasy is a treasure. When a Scot Ties the Knot is a beguiling historical read. It's witty, touching and a fantasy come true. Insecure Madeline thought that pretended to be something she wasn't would make her happy. But it turns out being her true self is what made her better. Copyright of Night Owl Reviews

I absolutely LOVE Tessa Dare, and this book has quite possibly the best premise I've ever seen (pathologically shy lady invents fake boyfriend who turns out to be real), but this book somehow feel short of my hopes. The characters' backstories promised higher emotional stakes than they ever delivered, and I found the modern language excessive and jarring in a historical ("I don't DO cuddling", "said no woman ever", "shoulda woulda coulda", etc). For me, this one just wasn't quite up to her normal standard.
