In New York Times bestselling author Karen Ranney's second novel in her breathtaking series, an unconventional woman and a former scoundrel embark on a daring mission of desire
Once the ton's most notorious rake, Dalton MacIain has returned from his expedition to America during the Civil War— wounded and a changed man. Instead of returning to his old haunts, he now spends his time at home. But Dalton's peace is disturbed when Minerva Todd barges into his London townhouse, insisting he help search for her missing brother Neville. Though Dalton would love to spend more time with the bewitching beauty, he has no interest in finding Neville, whom he blames for his injury.
Minerva has never met a more infuriating man than the Earl of Rathsmere, yet she is intrigued by the torrid rumors she has heard about him . . . and the fierce attraction pulling her toward him.
Dalton does not count on Minerva's persistence, or the desire she awakens in him, compelling him to discover her brother's fate. But when danger surrounds them, Dalton fears he will lose the tantalizing, thoroughly unpredictable woman he has come to love.

About the Author
Karen Ranney wanted to be a writer from the time she was five years old and filled her Big Chief tablet with stories. People in stories did amazing things and she was too shy to do anything amazing. Years spent in Japan, Paris, and Italy, however, not only fueled her imagination but proved she wasn't that shy after all.
Now a New York Times and USA Today bestseller, she prefers to keep her adventures between the covers of her books. Karen lives in San Antonio, Texas.

Not What I Was Expecting
By Andrea T
** 2.5 stars **
I have a question: Why is the title of this book Scotsman of My Dreams when the man in question is not a Scotsman? Sure, his last name is Scots, as is his ancestry, but this man was a Brit through-and-through. In fact, the only Scot in this book was a distant cousin who had one scene. You're just setting readers up for false expectations.
Speaking of unrealistic expectations, there was this:
"She reached down between them and grabbed his erection with both hands, stroking it, measuring it with her fingers. It was at least nine fingers long and so wide around that her thumb and forefinger didn’t meet when she extended them around it."
A nine-fingers long penis! Good lord that thing should be registered as a deadly weapon. But seriously, I'm totally fine with giving book hero unrealistic proportions, but even I know you must draw a line somewhere.
Scotsman of My Dreams was okay. I thought the plot moved terribly slow, but was interesting enough. The leading characters were fairly likable, even endearing at times.
I just can't get past the monster peen, really. I won't remember anything about this book EXCEPT the non-Scottish Scotsman with the nine fingers long peen.

Superb imagery and characterization - loved loved loved the hero!
By Bambi_Unbridled
When I was getting ready to start reading Scotsman of My Dreams, I realized that it was the second in the series. I am trying to stay on schedule with my reviews, so I didn't have time to go back and read the first book, In Your Wildest Scottish Dreams. But I got along just fine and didn't feel lost. There was only a small amount of crossover in the characters, so if you are in the same boat as I was, you should do fine. (I will definitely go back and read the first book now.
I totally loved the leading man in this story, Duncan MacIain. Duncan was a renowned rake who, on a wild hair, decided to go to America to join the Civil War. I had no idea the British joined the Civil War until I read this book (or maybe I learned it in school but it wasn't told in such an interesting way so I just forgot). Anywho, Duncan is severely injured in America and loses his sight, so now he has returned home and is a recluse. Ranney's imagery with Duncan's plight was excellent. She did a good job detailing what he was going through and feeling, and it created an excellent emotional connection with his character.
The leading female, Minerva Todd, was unique for her time. She enjoyed archaeology, digging in the dirt, studying the past, even sewed her skirts to create voluminous trousers. Minerva believed her brother (Neville) to be a sycophant of the renowned rake, and Neville foolishly followed Duncan to American to join the war. Now Neville has not returned and Minerva vows not to leave Duncan alone until she can find out what happened to Neville. Minerva was quite unlike any woman Duncan ever met. She was very practical, honest to a fault, and somewhat shocking in her candor. I liked Minerva very much as well. She was a modern woman for her time, and I liked that she wasn't one of the young debutantes out on the marriage market.
The characterization for this story was excellent - Duncan, Minerva and Mrs. Thompson particularly jumped off the page for me. The title was a tad misleading as the story takes places in London and Duncan is not particularly Scottish (though he is descended from a line of Highlanders). But I enjoyed it nonetheless and I think you will too.
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 4 stars / 3 flames.

Headstrong Minerva Meets Her Match
By Judge Tabor
Before I begin my actual review, I've just gotta make a comment on the book cover. Often, they're a big joke and this is one of those instances. Believe me when I say, there is no half naked handsome man in a kilt anywhere inside the pages of this book. Also, although our main guy has Scottish blood, he's an English lord through and through and nothing at all takes place in Scotland, except some reminiscences in the Epilogue. Also, our heroine, according to the book, would not be considered a beauty such as the one on the cover. But, oh well, enough of that - I've realized that authors often do not have control over what the publishers decide to display on the cover. Now, on to the review.
I was really hesitant about getting into this book. Although I've enjoyed Karen Ranney's books in the past, I confess that I'm sick and tired of reading about the typical "rake" and of course, our main guy, Dalton MacIain, was not only a rake, but had the earned reputation of a man who drew less sophisticated younger men into his debauched way of life. In fact, this influence was apparently great enough that when Dalton decided to go to America and fight in the Civil War, some of those same young men willingly followed him into hell. They didn't even have a cause. They actually drew straws (sort of) to decide which side they would fight on. Some wound up fighting for the North and some for the South. ??? Were they all nuts? Were they bored? Did they think war was a lark? Well, those that went met up with the kind of real life that most of us will run as hard and fast as we can to avoid. Some did not return. Dalton was one that returned, never, ever to be the same.
This is where the story, which is set in the Victorian Era begins. Our heroine, Minerva Dodd is one who doesn't give a rip about what Society thinks - rather, the love of her life is exploring ruins and cataloging what she finds - mostly in Scotland. Unfortunately, her enjoyment of such activity must be put on hold while she attempts to find out what in the hey happened to her younger brother, Neville who she basically raised. She's furious with Dalton because Neville was a member of Dalton's entourage that followed him to America and Did. Not. Return! Try as she might, Minerva cannot seem to get Dalton, now the Earl of Rathsmere, to return her messages or agree to meet with her. Minerva is no shrinking violet. She does what she has to in order to get Dalton's attention. I read a lot of books and believe me when I say, this story kept me riveted. What Minerva finds is not exactly what she expected. In fact, the earl has been very reclusive since his return from America. He's not gone out into Society - rather spends all his time shut up in his house.
Although Dalton and Minerva are protagonists in the beginning, their individual needs soon bring them together in a way they would never have suspected. She has a need to be close to Dalton in order to learn about her brother and Dalton has needs I won't spoil. I'll just say, he is going through a huge transformation - not only physically, but within his soul. He's continually looking back over his life and considering his past behavior and the motives for his behavior. The reader is privy to his thoughts as he reflects back on his life and the less than fruitful paths he traveled.
In the meantime, Dalton must deal with Minerva popping into his life whether it's ringing his doorbell or climbing through one of his windows. At first, she's an irritant beyond belief - but soon, Dalton begins to count on Minerva in ways that will eventually lead to much more than what either one of them would have ever imagined. We soon realize there are some mysteries afoot that must be solved in order for major truths to be revealed.
**Slight Spoilers**
I was absolutely dialed into this storyline. As great as the story was, however, I felt it deserved a much better ending that the quick tidy sweep-up relative to the mysteries being resolved. The manner in which the three nosy sisters that lived across the street from Minerva were included in the resolution toward the end was sweet but totally unbelievable. Still, overall it is one of the best I've read lately so I'll give it 5 stars.
