Constance Campbell, the duchess of Kilmaine, once believed that all she needed in life was a duke. But everything unraveled when she realized her perfect husband was a perfect monster. Now broken beyond repair, she hides her misery behind a perfect society mask...even from her childhood friend Alec.

Dr. Alec McGuiness reluctantly finds himself back in Scotland and checking up on the only woman to ever get under his skin, Connie. After she spurned him many years ago, he knows his humble life as a doctor could never be enough for her. But when the duke of Kilmaine is murdered in cold blood, with Connie sleeping right next to him in bed, Alec knows he must protect Connie at all costs from those who would frame her for the duke's murder.

Now on the run, Connie feels a freedom she only ever dreamed about before and an unexpected attraction to the man who is keeping her safe. But even if they can win her freedom and clear her name, could she ever open her heart up to someone again?

Contains mature themes.

This the third book I’ve read by Ms. Michaels and while I like her writing style, the plots are basically the same. I hope she expands on her storylines.

Like the writing style but..,

Plot Summary:
Without giving everything away, Connie is the Duchess of Kilmaine and her husband is a wife beater. She wakes up the night after a ball to find the Duke in bed beside her, dispatched to hell, as he deserved (Goodbye, Earl). Her old childhood crush, Dr. Alec McGinnis, having already been asked to check on Connie (by Sophie, Duchess of Huntington, their mutual childhood friend from the first book in the series), comes to Connie's rescue. That, my friends, is where an epic adventure commenced, indeed...

Review:
To start, I have to take the title to task. There's nothing sinful about this Scot hero, he was just right. In fact, he could've been a little more sinful... so with that, here are my gripes:

I can't lie, the book is long and there were certain parts that I found myself saying, "dammit we heard this already". In my personal opinion, Ms. Michaels needs a new editor. As good as this book was, it could've been soooo much better if the repetition were eliminated or othwrwise minimized, so the author had room for creating a more titillating experience with this hero. Her editor should've told her that...Because, no doubt this hero had potential. Then, to go back to my earlier point, the title is Sinful Scot and as in any profession, recalling the greats or the notable is important to your career... between the title and the hero's name, immediately the Bride by Julie Garwood came to mind. As the hero there was also named Alec and the Alec from Julie G.'s novel was a sinful (delectable, sexy, etc.) Scot through and through. To make my gripe worse, the Bride had a murder mystery in need of solving, too! So, it was hard to see this hero not live up to the hype of the book's title😔😟. I don't have much to say about the heroine, because she played her role, in fact Connie was executed brilliantly.

Now, obviously I still enjoyed the book (the series for that matter). I didn't see the twist coming, which was redeeming. I also loved the interplay between the McGinnis men. I also enjoy second chance romances, which the author also did well.
If the epilogue was an indicator, Ian and Lorelai's story is next. These two obviously have something going on and I can't wait to see how it plays out. Overall. if you've been reading the series, don't miss this installment, but be forewarned - the sin is lacking (with the exception of the Duke's and his brother's actions/inaction).

This novel definitely does not disappoint. I tell you it is like you are right there in the same room and hungry for more. I really hope these characters continues. love how the author started on novel 1 and each main character gets their own story. Captivating.

Book 3 here and I am still hooked

Absolutely entertaining, romantic, full of suspense and a mystery to boot! This book was a lot of fun to listen to and held my interest from start to finish. Excellent narration!!

Fun, fun, fun

It took me a little while longer to really get invested in the story but once I was fully immersed, I was hooked. I couldn’t stop listening until the end!

This book was OK. It was kind of redundant over and over and at some points it was just kind of wanting to hurry up and get it over with. It wasn’t horrible and I’m not sorry that I read it but I would never ever read it again. Lol. There is a significant amount of abuse and if you are somebody that has dealt with abuse then this definitely would be a trigger.

I got this on sale for $6.30 and absolutely feel it wasn’t worth it. I won’t return it but I am disappointed. Should have been one of the $3 priced books.

Good but not great - and trigger warning

This book goes into a lot of specific aspects of abuse. It is really well written and very detailed. The author did an amazing job of writing from the point of view of a survivor. Thank you for the happy ending.

There was nothing to complain about. Though I hope I can find the book about Ian & Loraline

Excellent story line.

This book was better than the authors previous book. I enjoyed the mystery but the villain was a bit far fetched especially for that era!
Nonetheless it was an enjoyable listen. Jane Eyre as always is the best narrator!

Better than last story! Mystery & Romance
