Wild Scottish Knight

The Enchanted Highlands, Book 1

By: Tricia O'Malley

Narrated by: Amy Landon, Will Watt

Opposites attract in this modern-day fairytale when American, Sophie MacKnight, inherits a Scottish castle along with a hot grumpy Scotsman who is tasked with training her to be a magickal knight before the Kelpies wreak havoc on the people of Loren Brae.

The knight was supposed to be a man. Not me, Sophie MacKnight, a marketing associate from California. This must be a practical joke that the Scots play on visiting Americans. Because otherwise I’ve inherited a haunted castle in Scotland, along with one irritatingly sexy Scotsman, who would be delighted if I turned tail and ran.

Frankly, I thought I would fly here, sell the heap of bricks, and head back home to a life that I…well, I was comfortable with at the very least. Instead, the people of Loren Brae are in trouble, and it appears that as the new owner of the castle, I’m next in line to reinstate the magickal Order of Caledonia.

Which means, first, I have to learn to believe in magick. And secondly, I have to train to become a knight.

And my trainer? None other than Lachlan Campbell, the grumpiest man I’ve ever had the annoyance of meeting. It’s a toss-up who is pricklier, Lachlan, or his kilted Chihuahua, Sir Buster. Not only does Lachlan think that I can’t hack it, but he also resents my claim on his castle. If only he didn’t look so devastatingly hot in his kilt.

Now, I’m stuck proving myself to him, all while trying to figure out how to help my new friends in Loren Brae.

Sparks fly as our swords meet, and we battle our rising attraction for each other. Who will win in this (Highland) game of love?

Difficult to follow

I usually love Trisha O'Malley's books, but am finding it hard to understand the accents and constant changes in the readers in this book.
Because of that I really have not been able to get into the story. I will need to purchase the Kindle version to see if it makes more sense to the story line.

I loved the upbeat adventure and the overall theme of love.

I liked the surprise of great lovemaking described by both people. I also enjoyed the switch of storytelling between the characters.

Can’t wait for more

Thank you Trisha for another amazing book and can’t wait for the next one on audible. Girl how do you do all you do book signing working on more and different amazing stories that make me wanting more..now. I love how I can escape to Scotland feeling immerse in the place, people..thank you…

Wonderful !

Loved the story and look forward to the next one! Amy Landon was perfect to do the story telling ! 👍

Trisha did it again!

Such a cute read. I loved how much personality the characters have. I can’t wait for the next book in the series

Excellent!

So far this is my favorite Tricia O’Malley book. You’ll definitely love it if you love romance and fantasy!

Can't understand even with it slowed down.

Couldn't understand half of the book when Scottish people we talking. Pretty disappointed, I was looking forward to it.

Wonderful

The beginning of another series. It’s wonderful. Thank you so much. Starting the next one today

Loved this book!! Love this author!!

This is the third book I’ve read by Tricia O’Malley. I am hooked. Her stories touch me in so many different ways. This story does such a good job in introducing us to the main characters, Sophie and Lochland..(Have no idea if I have spelled either of these names correctly!) Watching their growth, both individually and together, hit so many pings in my own life. She writes in such a way that the reader/listener can relate to and commiserate with the characters. The growth of the characters gives one hope that they can also achieve their own needs and desires. This author tells a story that is indeed refreshing. I feel it is okay to believe in the magic that can help us overcome our problems. Her descriptions of the land and the village put me right there for the story as well as making Scotland another destination I would love to see. As an animal lover, I was incredibly pleased with the variety of animals that inhabited the story. And bringing the Unicorn to the story was the lock for me as Unicorns are, to me, very much a real spirit. Buster was great, the crows were perfect, the “coo” was awesome, and the seahorses were fearsome! I loved it.

The narration was spot on. The two narrators were perfect. I have always been a fan of listening to an Irish accent, but I now believe that I could be lured by a Scottish accent as well!! Even if it does run into that heavy accent that may leave little to understand!! I continue to be amazed at the talent that these narrators have to deliver different voices, to show the emotion characters are feeling, and jump from one character to another.

As not all are as enthused as I about spirits and animals and “magick” and history and mythology as I am, I would still not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone. There are so many life lessons taught in this book that I believe anyone would, at the very least, enjoy the story and the lessons. I already have my list of Ms. O’Malley’s books I intend to add to my library. I have started the Irish series, and now have begun the Scottish series. I will keep this author on my list of keepers so as not to miss any of her books.

Wowza! Time to take a trip to Scotland.

Loved it. Needed some fluff. I'm ready to visit Scotland...when the rain stops. So it's true about kilts. 😉
