Summary: Not better than the first
Review: Emily and the Scot is a sequel to Anna and the Duke. This time, the two major characters are Ewan's cousin Jaime and Ewans step-sister, Emily. I do not think this book was better than the first. I was expecting a long, steady plot that involved danger like in the first, but I was disappointed when I found how it turned out. What I did find was, when any sort of problems that might have led to a great climax as in the first came about, they were solved a little easier than expected. The Main characters were very stubborn and seemed to be more along the lines of flat characters than dynamic. Fortunatly, the ending was cool - it's the best term. I felt there could have been a better confilct between someone and the two characters. I felt a little 'angry' at them because they were so stubborn towards eachother that I felt like saying out loud 'kiss her already!' Finally, the happy ending helped ease the annoyance.
I enjoyed this book anyway. I felt the ending was very cute, but it made me feel that there could - or should - have a third book added on to this little section.

Summary: Just as good as 'Anna and the Duke'
Review: Emily Fitzgerald and her family have been burdened with scandal since her bother, Richard, attempted to murder their half brother, Ewan. Her chances to make a good match seem hopeless but a top bachelor proposes to her. However, Emily has always been determined to marry for love. Fearing more scandal for turning down the proposal, she decides to vacation with Ewan in Scotland. She would be enjoying her vacation but Ewan's cousin, Jaime, and her are constantly arguing. Emily highly doubts that her and the brash scot will ever get along. This book is the sequel to a previous Avon True Romance, Anna and the Duke, but it's not really necessary to read that one to understand this one. Emily and the Scot is a watered down but well done type of love/hate story. Although Emily and Jamie never really hated each other their personalities just grate against one another's. The characters were vibrant and the romance managed to remain interesting throughout the entire book. I also really enjoyed the ending. The author showed great restraint in making it a happy but realistic one. Emily and the Scot and Anna and the Duke are two of the best books this series has to offer and I highly recommend them both.

Summary: A great addition to Avon True Romance
Review: Emily Fitzgerald is eighteen years old. Her brother, Richard, attempted to harm their half brother Ewan, after Ewan inherited their father's title of dukedom. Emily just received a proposal from the Viscount Stanton, and refuses because she does not love him. Rather than facing gossip being spread about her by society, she decides to visit Ewan and his wife, Anna. There, she meets Ewan's cousin, Jamie McLaughlin. Emily mistakes him for a servant, leaving them to a fine start. They argue about almost anything known to man. But can there be something deeper, something that neither Emily nor Jamie realize? I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed Anna and the Duke, or for fans of the Avon True Romance series.

Summary: i prefer anna and the duke more.
Review: Highlander Jaime MacLaughlin is a talented leathersmith unafraid of hard work or a little dirt. When he meets his cousin Laird Ewan's half sister Emily, a fragile looking society blossom, the two take such an instant dislike to one another it is obvious they must be star-crossed. The English lass tames the savage Scot as he develops dining room manners and learns to waltz, and her pretenses and prejudices are replaced by vigor and health. A disaster in the community makes them pull together, while Ewan's wife Anna's gentle meddling gives the lovers a prod in the right direction. The plot suggests that readers may want to go back and read Ewan and Anna's story, and hints at a romantic adventure between mutual friends as well.
Tame, predictable and safe for middle school readers, these short and uncomplicated romances are like chocolates - some are higher quality than others, occasionally there is a surprise in the middle, and a sweetness lingers when you are finished. A steady diet is not recommended, but once in awhile, it's ok to splurge on mind candy.

Summary: Love from pure hatred-great read
Review: I have only read three of this series, but I do think this one has been the best so far. The mishaps and constant misunderstandings between Lady Emily and Jamie are often hilarious, and yet often sincere as well. By the end, you realize that they are so perfect for each other and it drove me crazy that they didn't see it!
Emily moves to Scottland to escape the rumors sure to spread after she turns down a man of high standings and for her love of anything Scottish. She should be grateful anyone would want her to begin with, but doesn't want a boring life. She moves in with her 1/2 brother Ewan (From Anna and the Duke) and meets his cousin (from the other side of the family-he and Emily are not related) anbd they take an instant disliking to one another. Now, you know they end up together, after all this is a romance, so I urge you to reasd this and discover how. I'm sure you will laugh often and be moved as well. I know I was!
