Kiss the Wallflower #3
A Kiss in Spring
A broken carriage wheel at the base of the Scottish highlands is the last thing Sophie Grant needs on her trip to Scotland. Determined to make the most of her stay in the quaint village of Moy, she discovers some delightful attractions, including the Laird Mackintosh, who lives nearby.
Upon an invitation to the Laird's home, Sophie is thrust into a world of decadence, privilege, and wealth–everything she never had. Laird Mackintosh is tempting and beguiling with his scandalously hot kisses. However, Sophie knows he's hiding something–something that could change everything.
Brice Mackintosh is torn between his family’s expectations, and his newfound feelings for Sophie. What started out as a game, a distraction before he fills his obligations is turning into more. But when the truth surfaces, Brice worries that he may lose the only woman he's ever loved.

My review:
Due to a fortuitous wheel’s break, a english miss meets a Laird, yet will their attraction be enough when duty calls ...
I love the fast paced novellas Mrs Tamara Gill’s talented pen delivers without fault, her characters are far from perfect but they live life at the fullest.
Sophie has come from nearly being a destitute commoner to be the sister-in-law of a marquess. Yet she adjusted rather well to her new society’s place, but she also refuses to let her past and friends behind because her circumstances changed.
Brice must fulfill a promise made to his parents, if only he could feel something for the woman he will have to wed. And above all to feel nothing for the estranged Miss now haunting his thoughts.
From the beginning, they know their time is short, each having to go their separate way. It was without counting on their hearts and their own will.
When Sophie jumps openly in their “courtship”, Brice knows he plays a dangerous game, walking on a thin line, risking to loose more than he had bargained.
Their burgeoning romance is sizzling, their chemistry scorching hot, and whatever they do to avoid each other’s presence or reason themselves about their attrait, they are drawn to one another.
Still, will it be enough to face all the issues facing them.
4.5 stars for this sensual read of an undeniable love.
I was granted an advance copy by the author, and prior to it, preordered my own.
Here is my true and unbiased opinion.

Brice Mackintosh is a laird and an earl who feels that he needs to wed a certain lass because of the promises he made to his deceased parents. Sophie Grant did not grow up in an aristocratic family. Her sister was a lady’s maid who married the Marquess Graham, their story is featured in book 1 of this series. On a trek north to Scotland to visit a friend Sophie’s carriage breaks and she is stuck in Moy for a while and in the company of Brice.
I really enjoyed the slow burn of this book. The main characters have a great attraction which they try and fight but cannot. I’m loving this Kiss the Wallflower series and I am really looking forward to book 4! I received an ARC of this book and chose to post a review.

Highlands 1805.
Brice was a ruggedly handsome Scots earl. Sophie
(of modest background) & co. got stranded in his neck
of the woods, via a broken carriage wheel. Her BIL,
a marquess, loaned her the carriage.
Brice, informally promised to a Scots woman, Elspeth,
played with Sophie's emotions. Sophie showed a lack
of self-respect on neglecting to ask Brice his intentions
towards Els. Then the MCs had sex.
The sexual tension was good but lust seemed to win
over love. Love is the thing: sorry if that's 'old school'
thinking.

It was cute! The heroine was a little naive but it made sense? Slightly steamy but worth the quick read

I enjoyed it. I forgot to rate this one so... * *shrugs* *. Anyway, here it goes.
Before I proceed, let me ask the writer. When you change the word "you" into "ye" and the word "don't" into "dinna", the speaker is immediately scottish? Because the scottish people in this story sounds like scottish-wannabes.
What I don't like about this book, though, was that MMC acted as if it was impossible to back out of a deal that took place years ago. Bruh! I would've accepted it if the conflict is inevitable or impossible to get rid of. But their conflict is so shallow that the drama over the matter was overrated. The problem was soooo simple yet these characters were making it difficult and impossible to dodge. * *sigh of disappointment* *
I enjoyed the book. Just think of a better conflict next time. And, to be honest, I don't know which character is which anymore. It's like every MMC and FMC in this series is being played by the same man and woman. There's no unique attributes to set them apart. They have their own talents/ideals, yes, but that's about it. No unique quirk or attitude that sets them apart from the others. In my head, the wallflowers in this series is sharing the same voice and face. They may change eye colour and lip/nose shape but the face remains the same in my mind's eye unless I change it. Same for the MMCs, too. (Which is why I only choose a book in this series that has an interesting teaser. (Like selecting the best outfit from a shop lol).

This was a lovely story and the characters were engaging. Sophie was quite bold for this time but she wasn’t ashamed to speak of her impoverished background. Brice was all you could want in a hero, handsome and strong. They had an instant attraction even though Brice tried to fight against it. He had his reasons but not all was clear to Sophie. There are a number of things to be resolved before they can achieve their happy ending. This was an entertaining read and I received a copy which I have voluntarily reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

________________________________
This has been my favorite book in the series thus far. I enjoyed this story immensly and I really loved all the characters.
We met Sophie back in the first book of the series, A Midsummer Kiss. She and Stephen are twins and Louise's younger siblings, whom Louise was working to support. She was a secondary character in that book, but from what we read of her she was both loyal and compassionate. So realizing that this book focused on her story, I was looking forward to reading it.
While traveling to stay with a friend in the Scottish highlands, Sophie's carriage throws a wheel and leaves her stranded in a small village. While there she meets the handsome Laird, Brice Mackintosh. There's an instant attraction between the two, but he feels obligated to keep his distance due to a long past promise to his parents to wed the daughter of a neighboring clan.
Sophie came from humble beginnings, her rank being elevated to sister-in-law to the Marquess of Graham after her sister's marriage. But Sophie hasn't put on airs, she's still humble and isn't afraid to share the nature of her up-bringing, still friends with those she had from before. I really respected and liked her character.
When everything caves in on itself I was so invested. I wanted to be mad, but I also understood where each was coming from. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll leave it at that.
I recommend this book. If you haven't been quite a fan of the first two in this series, I urge you to give this one a read. It's much stronger than the first two. The story is sweet and engaging. Perfect if you're looking for a quick book to read.

Highlands Scotland 1805
Miss Sophie Grant was on her way to see her friend when a carriage accident provoked an unplanned stop in the town of Moy. She, her maid Gretel, a footman and the coachman sought refuge in a small inn, owned by the local laird, Brice Mackintosh. Sophie takes it all in stride; they're stuck there for a while, why not go exploring a bit. Sophie had intended to meet the Laird Mackintosh, and she did. But not precisely as planned!
I loved Sophie! What a charming heroine: calm, pleasant, fun-loving and adventurous but in a very believable way for the era. Brice was just as lovely in his brawny, Scottish way. The connection was immediate but the relationship evolved organically; nothing was rushed but Brice is now torn. Sophie's arrival in his life forces him reconsider his future. And to think it really all started with A KISS IN SPRING!
In spite of the secret that hovers over Sophie and Brice like an ominous dark cloud, I liked that it was not stressful while Sophie and Brice fell in love, but the menace was there, always looming in the background. And when things go south, oh my! I Nothing quite happened as I expected; I was (agreeably) shocked. I had loved Sophie from the start, but she really demonstrated her inner strength where most heroines become dishrags or stupid. Brice didn't behave like most heroes either; my goodness, it was refreshing!
I loved discovering the Highlands through Sophie's eyes, and it was nice that there was just a sprinkling of Scottish dialect; it did not overwhelm the dialogues, which I find distracting. In A KISS IN SPRING, I found passion, humour, joy and sadness - I knew there would be a happily-ever-after, but if it hadn't been guaranteed (it's a romance, after all), I would have been very worried. My heart broke there for a moment... And all this awesomeness was beautifully wrapped up in a delightful epilogue! Come to think of it, this novella packed a serious punch!

A broken carriage wheel at the base of the Scottish highlands is the last thing Sophie Grant needs on her trip to Scotland. She is determined to make the most of her stay in the quaint village of Moy. She discovers some delightful attractions, including the Laird Mackintosh, who lives nearby.
While climbing a steep area she falls and hurts herself. This leads to an invitation to the Laird's home by his sister. Now Sophie is thrust into a world of decadence, privilege, and wealth. Laird Mackintosh is tempting and beguiling with his scandalously hot kisses. But, Sophie knows he's hiding something that could change everything.
Brice Mackintosh is torn between his family’s expectations, and his newfound feelings for Sophie. What started out as a distraction before he fills his obligations and marries the woman that his family expects has turned into so much more. Then the truth surfaces and Brice worries that he may lose the only woman he's ever loved.
I loved this quick read. In my opinion it may be the best of this series so far. I actually read this novella very quickly and I am looking forward to book #4 "To Fall for a Kiss" which will conclude this series.
I gave this book 4.65 of 5.0 stars for story line and characterization.
I received a complimentary ARC of this title this book from the Author.

Sophie Grant is travelling to visit her friend Jane when a broken carriage wheel means she has to stay in the quaint village of Moy whilst a replacement is found. whilst out walking with her friend / companion Gretel Sophie falls & bangs her head. Gretel seeks help & Laird Mackintosh carries Sophie to safety. Upon an invitation to the Laird's home, Sophie is thrust into a world of decadence, privilege, and wealth. Brice Mackintosh is torn between his family’s expectations, and his newfound feelings for Sophie.
This is the third book in the series whilst it could easily be read on its own Sophie is the younger sister of Louise from the previous book. I loved the chemistry between Brice & Sophie & how they fell or each other. I really liked Sophie who was quite open about her background & her feelings. Whilst I liked Brice I could have given him a good shake for not being honest with everyone about how he was feeling. Also Elspeth could have been more open too. However if they had been open & honest the book wouldn’t have been so very entertaining. A delightful read that I read in a sitting as I couldn’t put it down. I’m now really looking forward to Stephen’s story

I purchased this as part of a bundle the author offered called KISS THE WALLFLOWER: BOOKS 1-3.
I can not stand when a lie/deceit goes on for the whole story as it did in this. I want my character's to be honorable and loyal. This H was so far from being honorable and he takes the h's innocence without explaining the circumstances of the women staying in the castle.
Granted the h was dumb in regards to this women. She lives with the clan next to them, but was staying in the Castle with the H, didn't she think that was funny? The h is lose, the language and thinking too modern.
There is sex outside of marriage, heat level 4 out of 5. Since I didn't feel a connection to this couple, it was more lust than love.
No cliffhanger, HEA, no romance since based on lie and spice. (ljb)

An amazing story of forbidden love. A Kiss in Spring by Tamara Gill is book 3 in the Kiss the Wallflower series and what a really great series. Though in a series this regency story can be read as a standalone. Tamara writing, in my opinion, just keeps getting better and better. You fall in love with the hero and heroine and alway hate the evil ones. I found this to be an easy read and the story original. This story has an arranged marriage, a broken carriage wheel, an injury, duty, a promise to one’s parents, a rise in station, confusion and love. I highly recommend this book and any of Tamara Gill’s books. You won’t be disappointed.

The book was boring and the main characters were stupid and terrible people.
The heroine was an idiot. Her maid told her he was going to be marrying the other girl multiple times, and the stupid heroine just kept not asking ANYONE about it! Like the author had to go way out of her way to make sure the world's dumbest heroine didn't figure it out.
No one bothered communicating with anyone. It was extremely tedious. The hero hid his engagement status for "reasons," and the heroine got engaged to some other poor sap basically because she was pissed at the hero. So she broke some poor innocent guy's heart because she was the worst.
Plus the book is boring, almost nothing happens.

Nicely written, good characterizations, and I liked that this set included three stories with continuing characters. However, I prefer more accuracy in my period reading. Recommended for those who like low-angst, sexy Regencies, with nominal acknowledgement of social norms and historical accuracy.

Easy read
Really not much of a storyline and both Sophie and Brice were not characters I really admired. She was too loose and he was deceitful.

Very cute novella. The pacing is really quick and gets right to the point of the romance, without feeling like the romance pacing itself is rushed, which is nice when you just want to relax and read something that doesn't have a lot of filler. The characters kept repeating their conflicts, which bothered me, and that could use an edit since a reader's memory isn't terribly short, but that was my biggest issue with the book. Plus the cover art is gorgeous!
There is some relationship misunderstanding/legit cheating, so if that's not your thing, read something else.

I’ve been working my way through Ms. Gill’s catalog and honestly every romance I read I enjoy more than the last one. There is a lot that stinks about the state of the USA right now, but this series is not one of them.

An enjoyable Regency romance set in the Highlands, where a young woman who is new to the world of the rich and privileged, finds herself being rescued by a dour Scottish laird. Everyone but Sophie knew that Brice Mackintosh is destined to be married to his childhood friend, despite their mutual antipathy to the match. Throwing Sophie into the mix brings all sorts of awkwardness. The attraction between the main characters is strong, but one cannot help but wonder why Brice wasn't upfront with Sophie, and why she refused to believe the advice being given to her. When the truth is forcibly thrown in her face, Sophie turns her back on Brice, but her heart is broken. One cannot help but feel for Sophie in her naivety, and it is fortunate that Brice has his sister in his corner to give him the necessary push when most needed. This story is part of a series and although characters from previous books appear in this one too, it is nevertheless a standalone. I received a copy of this novel as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

I suffocate on your love
The smell blinds me
I'm now slimmed by a ghost

Delightful read, the mothers-in-laws to be in this series come across as cold and condescending
