I cannot believe how much I enjoyed this book. I literally could not put it down and I flew through the pages so quickly, I was upset when I had finished it. I'm not new to Maya Banks, but the way she wrote and brought her characters to life in Never Seduce A Scot was so amazing.
Graeme was a shining star, he was incredibly kind, fair, protective, and understanding when it came to Eveline. From the very beginning he recognised how difficult leaving her family and living with the enemy would be, especially considering her condition. He didn't let anyone from his clan disrespect her and made sure to shut down even his brothers when they spoke ill of her. I found Graeme to be one of the best written characters I've ever read, not once did he disappoint or anger me.
Eveline was sweet and very courageous, she stood up for herself against Graeme's clan no matter how frightening or confusing the situation, and she even overcame her debilitating fears to help her husband when he most needed it. She was naïve, but not to the point where it was frustrating, she just simply didn't know any better and that's okay, she learnt quickly. She was also smart, the way she used her disability to her advantage and evaded her betrothal to Ian. She adapted to her unfortunate situation incredibly well.
I even loved Graeme's brothers and sister. Although they started out iffy, especially his brothers, they all warmed up to Eveline and begun to treat her the way she deserved, even aiding Graeme in protecting her and enacting revenge on Eveline's and Graeme's behalf.
If you couldn't tell, I really loved this book and felt very strongly towards it. Maya did such a good job on this one.
This book is adorable. It was a quick and easy read with such a loving and tender man ❤️. The down side is that there were some really cheesy parts. I think I had some secondhand embarrassment 😬.
Zo melig, maar bon, moet eens kunnen.
De vrouwen in dit boek zijn wel frustrerend stereotiep en de wendingen in het verhaal zijn nogal ongeloofwaardig, maar het was leuk en morantisch. Moet soms niet meer zijn.
Listened for the audible romance challenge, category: Scottish.
Loved it! Narration by Kirsten Potter was fantatic too.

Worth the second chance! Never Seduce a Scot featured a likable hero and heroine and a really sweet romance! Despite a few unrealistic elements, it actually dealt with the heroine's deafness a lot more realistically than some I've read before. It also had one of the best love confession scenes I've read in a long time. Overall, it was very enjoyable, and I definitely plan to look out for the next books in the series. I really hope Banks writes Graeme's sister's book, because I liked her a lot.
