Lady Rosalia Armstrong has cut her hair and disguised herself as a boy in order to flee from an arranged marriage where she is basically being sold and a lifetime of physical and mental abuse at the hands of her mother and her father not caring about it.
Laird Ciaran MacGregor finds a badly beaten boy and while looking at his injuries discovers he is a woman. Ciaran decides to take her to his home in the Highlands as his guest until he can bring her to the home of her Grandmother.
Feelings start to happen of course but the road won't be easy. Self-consciousness, doubt, and stubbornness are the least of their worries with dangerous plots in the works and Bloody Campbells running around.

Bad boys of the Highlands? Nah.. Even though I did love Ciaran. Rosalia not so much. She cried a whole lot.

And to be honest I am in no mood to write a review but it was a good highland book. Rosalia is not a badass heroine at all. She is weak and she does cry over everything. Ciaran is a typical highlander. I liked him. Thats all. There isn't anything special about the book but I did enjoy reading it.

Fun highland fluff

It was time for some Scottish audio with a sweet romance and that's just what I got. The brogue wasn't as good as I would have liked, but the story was. Not too much nasty sex to skip. Overall a good adventure and some fine romance.

I won this book in 2012 and I have now gotten around to reading it. I cannot believe I waited this long. It has also been awhile since I read a historical romance and what a good place to start, in the Scottish Highlands. From the moment, I started reading I knew I would be in for a treat. This book delivered a wonderful romance, featuring captivating characters.

Temptation in a Kilt is the first book in the Bad Boys of the Highland series. This is my first time reading this author and it will definitely not the last.

I admired Rosalia, the heroine of this installment. Four adjectives I would use to describe her would be brave, outspoken, determined and resilient, but she was not without her flaws. Her insecurities about her weight and looks would often reveal itself. Her portrayal was not one of perfection, which made her a relatable character. Having suffered so much in her twenty-one years at the hands of those who were supposed to love and protect her.

The hero Ciaran is a highland laird who is devoted to his clan and takes his responsibilities serious. When he offers anyone his protection, it comes from a place of honour, which, Rosalia will discover when he came to her rescue. Ciaran is strong, kind, honourable, devoted, and authoritative and has a soft spot for those he loves.

It is my belief that Ciaran and Rosalia made the perfect couple. Their attraction to each other was obvious to everyone, but Ciaran’s stubbornness proved to be a hindrance. He sought to honour a vow he made to his father even it sacrificing his happiness. At first this trait admirable but as the story progressed it got tiresome. I did not believe his following his heart would negate his vow to his father. It was such a pity it took his almost losing her to make him come to his senses. Oh well, better late than never.

I enjoyed their interaction with each other. Their romance was not of the steamy variety; instead, it was sweet, fun and heart-warming.

The secondary characters helped to drive the story along. There were those you could not help but love and then there were the ones you hope would get what was coming to them. I especially loved Aiden and Aisling. I would love the background information on how these two became a couple.

The story had a satisfying ending, which left a smile on my face.

Conclusion/Recommendation
I enjoyed this installment and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series, which features Ciaran’s younger brother, Declan. If you are a fan of highland romance then this book is for you.

Solid Highland novel. Very enjoyable, sweet heroine on the plumb side and a honorable hero.

A guilty pleasure of mine as a reader (one of many) is historical romances set in the Highlands. There's just something about a sexy Scottish rogue, you know?

I loved Temptation in a kilt, I really did. Ciaran MacGregor is one sexy man, very considerate, sweet, charming, strong and I could thing of some other qualities. I liked his honor and sense of duty most of all. He was willing to give up on the thing he wanted most in order to keep a promise and that means something. He's also incredibly stubborn and that was sometimes a little infuriating, but in a good way.

Rosalia was such a sweetheart. I really liked her and at times, I wanted to go hit someone for the way her parents treated her. I was actually glad she managed to escape them. She's very considerate and she cares for the people around her. I really liked seeing her interact with Ciaran's family. I would've wanted her to get the chance to confront her mother, to really stand up for herself. Maybe in the next book that will happen. I think Rosalia really needs that chance, I truly do believe that.

The book is fast-paced and the characters are great. I especially liked Ciaran's sister-in-law. There were some predictable moments, but they didn't ruin the book for me. And I admit, that once in a while predictable is good. So if you like historical romance and bad boys in kilts, give this book a chance.
