“If you can’t give me your heart, then give me your happiness…”

Lady Iris Stephenson has been in unrequited love with a Highlander for years.

When all her efforts fall short, she makes a deal with a Scotsman: he will teach her how to woo a kilted man and in return, she will help him raise funds for his clan. That is until she realizes she just might be in love with him instead.

Desperate to save his people, Laird James Maclean needs to become a gentleman accepted by the English society. So he makes a bargain with an English minx. A bargain that ends up costing him a high price: his own heart .

As they both soon realize, success is not the key to happiness. Especially when their pursuits lead them down different paths: James back to his home country and Iris into the arms of another man. But liars are always ready to take oaths. When Iris gets kidnapped, James has but one choice: save her, and perish.

*Highlander's Indecent Wager is a steamy Scottish historical romance novel of 80,000 words (around 400 pages). No cheating, no cliffhangers, lots of steam and a happy ending.

I loved this book. The way James a d Iris interacted while teaching each other was awesome. I loved when Iris threw the book at her kidnapper and knocked him out. The interactions of the characters made me feel like a part of them. I felt their pain and happiness.

This was an amusing tale of an English lady and a Highland Laird making a wager to benefit both of them. Iris was a bit on the immature side in her crush on Balthazar without knowing anything about him. But she learns her lesson in more ways than one! I lied the main characters and the chemistry and passion that builds between them. Entertaining novel.
Pet peeve..... have the cover models look like the description of the characters in the book that you write!

It was an entertaining read. I didn’t like the heroine much at first as I thought he was sort of spoiled, but she did mature. The hero was loyal to his clan. The plot had some humor and complications. It was a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Highland Romance
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2020
Iris is in desperate need to find a more exciting life and has been in love with a certain highlander for years.
She is finally going to meet her love when in fact she winds up running into the wrong highlander.
James is on a quest to find investors so his clan can be saved but he is the wrong man Iris runs into.
Iris and James form an agreement to further each other in their individual pursuits to the future.
The future does not work out quite as they thought.
We follow then along this adventure of finding true love and all of the up's and down's that come along
on their exciting and tumultuous journey .
Lots of humor, disasters, infatuations, sickness, erotic thoughts, romance, intimacy before
marriage mildly descriptive
Heat level 3 out of 5.
Mature reader.
Good epilogues that completes this really good story.
My Thoughts:
I can't say I liked Iris that much. She was OK. She does have some surprising thoughts that pop up.
Characters were described differently than pictures on the cover. I hate when that happens.
A good story that would have been better with not so many lessons?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Scottish Highlander romance and intrigue
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2020
I loved this steamy Scottish Highlander romance with great characters, romance and intrigue. She was the daughter of an English Earl, and his balls had all old men except one Scottish Highlander. She was looking for him when she ran into another Scottish Highlander who was a Laird. He was trying to do business with the English, but they didn't take him seriously. She agreed to reach him English manners if he would teach her how to win the other Scottish Highlander. There was a lot.if romance and intrigue, but the ending was great. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy.
