Highlander Laird Evan MacNeil cannot believe Mistress Katie Sterling just shows up at the MacDuff castle with this faded piece of parchment laying claim to the lands he just legally inherited. Not that he really wants to be here in the lowlands, but he has responsibilities to his clan and the exasperating Katie has uprooted the remnants of her father’s clan and moved them across the country to live here. There’s no way he can leave to go back home now.
Katie has nowhere else to go and she refuses to bow down to the arrogant yet undeniably handsome Highlander. She’s had enough with men trying to control her and she is quite capable of handling herself.
Now that Evan must spar with a beautiful lass for the rights to the lands, he will fight to the end. This battle is nothing like the ones his ancestors fought with crossbows and boiling oil. They never wanted to bed the enemy.

Summary
A Scot to Wed by Callie Hutton is a fun romance.
Katie has traveled to the MacDuff castle wanting to claim it as her own based on a very old document. Katie is a strong and likeable character. She is used to managing an estate and has raised her brother. She is a healer and wants to do right by her people and protect her brother at all costs.
Evan, Laird McNeil has inherited the castle although he doesn’t really want it. I enjoyed his character. He might have been arrogant but he also respected Katie and what she had to offer most of the time.
The author created a variety of situations that let you experience fun moments of puppies and goats, to scary moments of thinking the villain my hurt someone they love to romantic moments in the storm.
On a side note, I enjoyed the character of Evan’s brother and hope he gets his own book in the series.
Sexual content – a couple physical scenes and some chemistry leading up to it
Violence – someone is kidnapped
Drinking – they drink ale which is appropriate for that time. No one gets drunk
Language – none that I recall
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
