My Review:
Suffering the Scot is the first book I have read by Nichole Van. It is the first book in the Brotherhood of The Black Tartan series.
Suffering the Scot was hard for me to get into. Even two hundred pages into the book I was not invested. There is a lot of history, Scottish brogue (which I don't enjoy any dialect writing it's hard to read), minor cursing (a personal pet peeve), and too much inner dialogue with Lady Jane and having to be a lady.
What I liked:
-Andrew's humor
-well-written
-Jane finally getting a spine
-descriptions
Overall, it wasn't the book for me, nor do I plan to read any more of the series.
Content warning: mild cursing
★★★/5
Synopsis (Goodreads):
***WHITNEY AWARD FINALIST 2019 FOR BEST
HISTORICAL ROMANCE*** Lady Jane Everard cannot abide the new Earl of
Hadley. The unmannered Scot is a menace to genteel ladies everywhere,
what with his booming laugh and swishing kilt and endless supply of
‘ochs’ and ‘ayes.’ Jane wishes Lord Hadley would behave as an earl
should and adhere to English rules of polite conduct. Andrew Langston,
the new Earl of Hadley, knows that the English aristocracy think poorly
of his lowly Scottish upbringing. This is hardly new. History is
littered with the English assuming the worst about Scotland. By living
up to their lowest expectations, he is simply fulfilling his civic duty
as a Scotsman. Jane sees Andrew as an unmannered eejit. Andrew considers
Jane to be a haughty English lady. But, as the saying goes, . . .
opposites attract. And what if beneath his boisterous behavior and her
chilly reserve, Andrew and Jane are not nearly as different as they
suppose? Can Scotland and England reach a harmonious union at last?
