Scot Appeal

Written by Melissa Blue

Narrated by Rooke Kingston

Marcus Baird has been called a lot of things: Scottish bastard, heartless, ruthless, but thanks to his new neighbor, he could add ginger buff guy. The ruthless part is true, at least. His current occupation as a handyman is a front to fuel a bidding war between his former employer and the next private equity firm in his sights—an undertaking that should have all his attention, but Ivy makes him an offer he cannot refuse.

When Ivy Stewart imagined losing her virginity, she was at least a decade younger, a yes away from marriage, and her perfect man would make sweet, slow love to her. Waiting for that dream to unfold has kept her watching life from the sidelines. She's done biding her time. It's foolhardy to choose Marcus. He's a man with secrets and an ugly past, but he's honest about what their relationship will be, charming and...he's very good with his hands.

Since Marcus took Ivy into his bed, he's lived a lie. He could be the man she needs. He isn't a workaholic and he doesn't really have a heart of stone. But it's only a matter of time before Ivy finds out the truth, and once again he's nothing but a Scottish bastard.

Melissa Blue

Melissa Blue’s writing career started on a typewriter one month after her son was born. This would have been an idyllic situation for a writer if it had been 1985, not 2004. She penned that first contemporary romance, upgraded to a computer and hasn’t looked back since. Outside of writing, Blue works as a mail clerk for the federal government, has a paralegal certificate (that she has more use for as a dust pan) and is a mother of two rambunctious children. She lives in California where the wine is good and, despite popular belief, is not always sunny.

I loved this series! When I finished I wanted more. I need another story. One more Hot Scot Hot Coco romance please.

[J Plested · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I completely enjoyed this series. The story joined each book together with the characters represented in each one. The narrator did an excellent job throughout.

[Angel Feimster · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This story is hell a cute and I know they needed someone to do the Scottish accent, and the narrator was good at that. But please get a Black woman to do a black woman’s voice. The narrators voice for Ivy was just weird and off putting. Black women don’t sound like that although we are not a monolith.
