A Scot is Not Enough

A Scottish Treasures Novel, Book #2

by Gina Conkle

⭐⭐⭐/5

I had felt neutral after reading the first book and wanted to continue And to see Cecelia’s story. That character really stood out in the first book.

Interestingly enough, Cecelia story was very centred on herself. Previously there was a group of women working on a singular mission this time around we have Cecelia working on a personal mission also for the Jacobite cause.

I found I missed the group dynamic captured in the first book which was one of my favourite parts of the story. The story about Cecelia‘s hunt for a missing dagger was very individualized for her and lacked the group focus.

As for our MMC, Alec he’s been tasked to spy on Cecilia, not the best way to start a relationship. I found it tedious that as a reader you could tell he quickly switch sides and joined Cecelia‘s team, but never blatantly spoke that to her to let her know he wouldn’t bring information against her to his boss.

I did find it interesting that we had the same villain in the story and then it looks like she will continue to be a thorn in the women’s league’s side for the next book as well. I would like to see Lady Denton get her comeuppance by the end of the series! She’s just terrible!

Overall the story was somewhat interesting and the characters were good, but I just didn’t love them. I feel similarly neutral on this book as I did for the last one.

A Scot is Not Enough by Gina Conkle was published April 26th, 2022.

I won a complimentary copy of this book from HarperCollins Publishers, Avon Books that was provided through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
