Culpepper Cowboys #6
Scotsman's Siren
From the day she was born, Honor Quinlan was forced to live up to impossible standards. Her twin, Grace, was always more feminine, more obedient, and more appreciated, while she was always reminded of how wicked and willful she was. So when she is given the chance to get away from her parents’ iron rule, to move out to the Culpepper ranch in Wyoming—where her older sisters had married the Culpepper cowboys—and to marry rancher, Angus MacFarlane she runs for it.
But no one who was raised the way Honor was escapes unscathed.
All Scotsman Angus MacFarlane has ever wanted is a large, loving family, unlike the one he was raised in. He would give his life for Linda Culpepper and her sons and their ranch, especially when it comes to thwarting the machinations of the dastardly cousin Travis. But when Honor sweeps into his life, everything changes.
For Angus, it’s love at first sight. But can he help her overcome the scars of her childhood and teach her to trust him?

3.5 stars ****
This book frustrated me like crazy.
I totally understood Honor and why she felt a certain way about some things like control and freedom cause I too would probably feel like that. But this is not what annoyed me. What drove me crazy was how her father kept calling her and calling her. Why did she not block his number? Why does he call her like every single day? Why didn't and doesn't he do that to the other sisters? Why doesn't she let Angus talk to him and tell him that he's got it covered?
I was screaming inside.
Also, the money thing could have been solved faster and been a lot cheaper if it was resolved sooner.
Angus though is a gem. The best thing ever. The sweetest and most patient human being ever. Instead of yelling at Honor he understood exactly why she was behaving a certain way at certain times. He tried to give her space and support her and when she was struggling he didn't pressure her to talk about and instead of getting mad he was understanding. If only to find a man like him.
I loved how they finally made up and how Honor's dad would finally stop bothering her.
I loved the last section about Chris. Something that I would have really loved is for Linda to have noticed the teasing and stopped it somehow to a manageable degree. Also, I wish Chris told them to buy him a new telescope because based upon his book that was something that eh really cared about.

Scotsman's Siren by Merry Farmer was a lovely contemporary romance. Angus would love to be a legitimate member of the Culpepper clan and jumps at the chance to wed a future Culpepper sister-in-law, Honor. They exchange emails and decide to marry each other sight unseen.
Honor really wants to escape her overbearing parents and marrying Angus seems to be the perfect way. Angus works with horses, another plus in his favor, and lives on the Culpeppers' ranch.
This is novella length, so the romance and attraction are always quicker, less build up than in longer length stories. But even though the novel is short, the reader can believe the attraction between Honor and Angus.
They do have their problems though, both Honor and Angus are slightly damaged from their less than happy childhoods and they bring these issues into their marriage - Honor much more so than Angus. Also, I haven't read any other books in the series but I wasn't lost, this book is strong enough to stand on its own.
I'm really becoming a fan of Merry Farmer and continue to enjoy her books. This is another great one.

Honor Quinlan had demanding parents and when given a chance, moved to the Culpepper ranch in Wyoming to escape. She intends to marry Scotsman Angus MacFarlane, whom she corresponded with by email. Angus falls in love immediately, but Honor has to deal with the impossible standards of the way she was raised. Cousin Travis is demanding an inflated price for his share of the Culpepper ranch. The family must come up with some way to save the ranch. I have not read the rest of the series but was able to thoroughly enjoy this contemporary western novel as a stand alone. I received this complimentary copy from Goodreads Giveaways for a review.

Once you get to book 6 in this serious it starts getting old. Basic story line is young women who were raised in strict households move to a different state to get away from their parents rules and beliefs. They immediately find a man to marry and as the days go on they fall in love. This story was a little different as Honor is the strongest willed woman of the family and believes Angus is out to control her like her dad. She fights back at every turn until she realizes what she is doing.

Love those Scots!
See page #140 line 5 where it days being raised by Culpepper parents. Honor dead mother raised by Culpeppers, she was raided by Quillen parents. I read this as I have decided to read the series. I enjoyed Angus, and I can totally see Linda, but Honor's character was a little unfinished. The outbursts where less than fully believable. This book does make me anxious to read the next in the series.

I enjoyed this continuation of the Quinlan and Culpepper Cowboy series. Honor Quinlan runs from home to join the Quinlan quads in Wyoming and sets to marrying Angus MacFarlane the chief ranch hand. This is a sweet romance about learning to overcome the past, heal and learn how to love and be loved in return.

Scotsman
Enjoyed the book. Going to stop reading this series. The girls are married.
Fav quote:
“Everything you’ve heard about Scotsmen is true.” She giggled, grateful that his brash comment loosened her up a little. “Is that what’s under a Scotsman’s kilt?” “Aye, lass. Kilts are handy for storing our most deadly weapon of all.”

This story is about Angus and Honor. She has serious issues with her "daddy". He keeps phoning her mobile to basically control her. That's the only part of the story I didn't really connect with.
The rest of the story was delightful. This was a lovely HEA story. Loved the whole family characters and storyline. 4☆

A twist of a story.
Honor has a lot of hangup from her past that threaten to comprise her marrying the handsome Scotsman who has caught her eye. A story of trials tense times but family pulling together to support each other.

Honor and Angus started their relationship through email. Honor was always fighting being controlled by her father, their parents were beyond good for those girls. Angus was a good guy who let Honor be herself. Loved that they fixed the cousin Travis buy out in this one.

HAPPY ENDING
This last of the sisters is finally married. Unfortunately she also is struggling with her own demons from her childhood relationship with her parents. Bound and determined to be her own person and independent, she almost ruins her new marriage.

Now is the turn of Honor to get married. Every one of the Quinlan girls has an issue, in Honor's case is that she doesn't like to be told what to do and how to be. The tomboy of the family, her parents were especially hard on her, so now no one can even suggest something to her, because she thinks they are trying to control her.
Angus's childhood was hard, he didn't know what a family really was until he arrived at the Culpepper ranch. But he wants more, he wants a wife, and after watching the Culpepper boys getting married to the Quinlan girls, he wants the same, and after getting to know Honor by email, he decides she is the one for him.
Angus is very patient with Honor, but she is so determined to be her own person and not to let anyone control her, that she lashes out to Angus until they got to a point where they need to step back and consider their situation. Honor realizes that she is projecting her father's worst traits on Angus and finally understand that not everyone is out to get her. And she apologizes to Angus and promises to try harder not to second guess everything.
I like how they recognize that after growing up with their very controlling, very religious parents, they need therapy, each one of them has a different issue to get over with, but all of them are messed up because of their upbringing.

I think the hero should be name Angus MacHottie! His patience and understanding with his new wife is amazing and touching. It helps that he comes from a past riddled with his own experiences. Those experiences have turned Angus into a sexy Scotsman who wears a kilt the proper way!
Honor Quinlan is our heroine and she's the last of the six girls. She has issues with her father and the way in which she was raised. Honor bucks tradition at every turn to be different. She loves horses and feels most comfortable gathering her strength from them. Nobody, particularly a man, will control what Honor thinks or says. I like that Honor felt safe with the bedroom scenes and Angus as his new role as her husband.
As book six, this is also where we find out what happens with cousin Travis and his portion of the ranch's inheritance. Will he sell it to the higher bidder? Will the Culpepper's come up with enough money to buy him out? Read this fantastic story and fall in love!

Amazing

Like all the Quinlan sisters Honor has some tough issues to work through which is making married life very difficult to say the least add in an overbearing farther and it gets worse.

Honor finds horses and a man
" And what a kiss! It was like summer fireworks and autumn storms. It was like the sparkle of Christmas lights and the first buds of spring."
The last of the Quinlan sisters escapes her parents' grasp but only with the help of a Scottish horseman.
This has been a well done collaboration by two authors I enjoy reading. They did not disappoint.

I loved this story, but poor Honor has been brainwashed so much she has a lot to learn, forgive, and accept. But Angus is just the man to help her realize the truth!

I am going to miss the Culpepper Cowboys. The books in this series are one of my guilty pleasures. The boys are like a box of chocolates, sinfully sweet.
