Scavenger Hunting #1
Kilt Trip
Scotland, 1704
It’s all about that kilt…
Acting on a dare, three English brides-to-be sneak into Scotland for a scavenger hunt, their last adventure before marriage. Mallory wants a piece of pirate's treasure, and Vivianne yearns for a love letter from a poet. But Bridget has more on her mind than the game. She knows life with her evil, blackmailing fiancée will be hellish, so she’s determined to make him suffer too—by stealing a Highlander’s kilt and leaving him to wonder how she acquired it.
The Scots charged with finding and protecting them along the way are entirely wrong--and perfect--for the job. Rory, for instance, is a kilt-clad Highlander, but he’d rather die alone in a cave rather than get within ten feet of another Englishwoman. Unfortunately for him, the duty to pay his grandfather’s debt will get him—and his two friends—much, much closer to the lasses than that.

Accidentally got this instead of the Alexander Kiley book and couldn't let it go to waste - although I should have. 10/10 don't recommend.

THIS IS REALLY A 3.5 READ FOR ME
This is the first book I have read by Ms Muir. She writes beautifully and I liked her character development.
Bridget, her cousin Mallory and their good friend Vivianne are on an adventure together. They have run away from England to Scotland. They each have a quest. Bridget wants a kilt from a Highlander. Mallory wants a piece of pirate gold. Vivianne wants a poet's love letter. They have disguised themselves as men, with beards and men's clothing. They feel sure they will have a wonderful adventure.
They are caught out by Rory, Connor and Ian. They all immediately realize these are women. Rory is the grandson of Bridget's grandmother's one true love.
Now the premise of this story sounds absolutely wonderful. The characters are all terrific. Bridget and the women are smart and funny and not as scatterbrained as they first appear. Rory, Connor and Ian are brave and honorable and wonderfully heroic.
But, for me there were places where the story bogged down. It seemed there were too many different events happening. I felt that the story lost focus.
There is a villain who is a really terrible person. The reader knows this because Bridget is promised to become his bride. She cannot tell anyone why but it is against her will. She lives in terror of the villain. Her promise is one of the reasons for the adventure.
Ms Muir is a very talented author. Since this is the first in a series, I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
I feel certain that the next book will not have the same issue I found in this one.

Kilt Trip is my first book by L.L. Muir, but won't be my last. Ms. Muir has delivered a well-written book and populated it with fantastic characters. Bridget, Mallory and Vivianne set off dressed as men on a quest in Scotland. Rory's grandfather has passed away and he feels he must help the three women. Rory and Bridget's story is loaded with drama, humor, action, suspense and spice. I enjoyed reading Kilt Trip and look forward to reading more from L.L. Muir in the future. Kilt Trip is book 1 of the Scavenger Hunting Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
I voluntarily read a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Fun read
I'm not sure I've read anything else by this author but after reading this I certainly plan on it. I normally am not find of stories where you have different chapters with different voices but the author did it so well I did not mind. The three best friend shenanigans did border on being too much but luckily the time when I was about to be annoyed it wasn't there fault. I like that all the ladies were strong characters. The men had their work cut out for them. I thought the ending was very clever. I would have liked a tad more with the ending but I'm guessing if I read the next one I'll find some of my answers

Three young ladies of the British Ton, take a challenge to go on a scavenger hunt to Scotland. One of the items to be found was a kilt, as an act of defiance, before returning to marry the blackmailing Baron Braithwaite.
The three set off on their adventure only to encounter Rory Macpherson and his friends, and sparks started to fly.
You will definitely enjoy this light hearted romp, through the Scottish Highlands, I know I did.

Excellent author
I have been looking for new historical romance writers as my favorites rarely release new material. L.L. Muir is a new favorite. The characters are rich and well written, the detail with which the story is written makes the characters come alive. I cannot wait to read private trip the next book in this series. I will definitely be searching for more books by this author.

Loved It 5+*
An absolutely fabulous well written story in the telling. Three English Ladies on an adventure through Scotland. A quest to complete a scavenger hunt may have been more dangerous then they planned. Follow along as these three ladies plot and plan, manage to get kidnapped by pirates, and fall in love with the Scot assign to protect each of them. Definitely a fun and entertaining story.

Mischief and mayhem! Suggested by grandma?
What a great story, it catches you right from the first chapter which is how I prefer my books to start! So much action and trouble making going on, and a few little surprises that I didn't see coming. I look forward to seeing how the other two women fared with Ian and Connor.

Very entertaining
I enjoy a story with good characters and plot twists. This book keeps you wondering up to the very last. Spirited lasses looking for mischief and bold Scotsmen trying to keep up and protect them. Scrapes and adventures keep drawing the reader on to the very last.

Cute
A very sweet and cunning adventure with an awesome girl group. Paired with ever the wiser, Scottish men! What more could there be. When all was revealed the plot just about broken my heart.

Romantic Romp
Fun, lighthearted, historical romance with gutsy heroines and brawny but sensitive heroes. Perhaps the characters were a bit more modern in their mindsets than was strictly believable, but it was so delightful, I didn't care that much.

Plot holes
Fairly well written, but somethings don't make sense. Somethings are explained later in the book and are "mysterious", but somethings just never make any sense. It's not a bad book, just sort of confusing.

salvaging life and limb
I was engrossed from the start! L.L.Muir did an amazing story. I love Scottish Historicals even the made up ones, the Scottish men and women are so stubborn and romantic at the same time. You're going to love this page turner.

Amazing
This had laughable moments that popped up in surprise! There was secrecy and denied love, but it all played out enjoyably! I was on the edge of my seat more than once, especially near the end. I so wanted that happy, joyful, and being loved ending! Highly recommend!

Almost five stars...
The resolution at the end was not as satisfying as the rest of the novel, but I still gave it five stars. The humor, the characters, the tension, the action, the dialogs, were all delightful! VERY well-written and worth EVERY minute of reading!

I did not enjoy this storytelling, so convoluted that I just wanted it to end. Why I even bothered to finish this book confuses me. I guess I thought it had to get better the farther I read . . . But alas. . .

It’s ok
This book is ok. Kind of slow moving. Didn’t really like how it ends. I didn’t feel like we got enough of the relationship time vs how long they fought each other. So not a bad story just not great.

Highlander and High Adventure
No one writes a story like L.L.Muir. This was an incredible story of love, honor and adventure. It is such an great story with 2 extreme!y strong characters Rory and Bridget.
