Her brother's best friend is a brawler. She's going to drive straight into his arms.


Isobel

Lennox is one hot Highlander.

Muscles bulging on thick arms. A smirk and a bossy swagger.

As teenagers, he crashed my car, stole my first kiss, then walked away with another woman.

I'll be damned if my brother's best friend is getting an easy ride back into my life.

Nox

Isobel is a menace. She races cars and has tattoos in places I can't even imagine. I shouldn’t want her. But I can't forget the one kiss we shared as teenagers. Fresh out of the military, I have one thing in my sights – her.

Isobel Fitzroy is my best friend's sister, and I'm going to tame her wild heart.

--

From the author of the Marry the Scot series comes a brand-new generation. Wild Scots brings you everything you love about Scottish heroes and contemporary romance but sexier, faster, and supercharged.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Voted one of the Most Anticipated Romances of December 2019 on Goodreads.

A selection of five-star reviews for Hard Nox (Wild Scots, #1) from Goodreads:

  • Another great read by Jolie Vines! Not only does she bring the Hot and Steamy scenes to life in her pages with the alpha men and their lass but it was also packed with so much action - Donna
  • Their journey made me laugh, want to cry, roll my eyes...just gave all the "feels". I didn't want this book to end, so I'm more than ready for book 2. I have a countdown going until release day. GREAT JOB JOLIE!!! - Shannon Smith
  • Lennox and Isobel are perfect together and steamy hot! - Jennifer Wertz
  • I love the character Isobel. She grew up with wealth and a title, but is very down to earth. She struggles with problems that are very relatable to me. She has a learning disability. I am on pins and needles waiting for the next book. It can not come out fast enough! - Lori
  • Who doesn't love a man with a big ... tank? Cue all the swoons for Lennox McRae! Like his father, he's a commanding presence who is easily knotted up by the woman who holds his heart. It's the sign of a brilliant author that this book has so much heart, heat, family history, and heartwarming emotional depth. And the grand gesture at the end was truly the icing on the cake. This is a fabulous addition to one of my all-time favorite series - Viper Spaulding

The Wild Scots series comes hot on the heels of the recently completed Marry the Scot series. Jump back to read where it all started with their parents' HEAs. Book one - Storm the Castle (a Marry the Scot novel).

Praise from Goodreads for Jolie Vines and the Marry the Scot series:
  • I loved this book! It had all that I would expect with hot Scots and rambling castles- Paula
  • Jolie Vines has fast become aone-click author for me! - J. Saman, Bestselling author
  • I'm impatiently waiting for the next book - I just know it'll be another sizzling story from Jolie Vines - Zoe Ashwood, author of the Shift series
  • (Hero) is an amazing work of art, highly recommended for anyone looking for a modern-day Highlander to swoon over - Viper Spaulding
  • I swear, every time I pick up a Jolie Vines book I think: this is him, my favorite hero, no one will be able to top him. And then I read the next book and the process begins again - Chikap09
  • If you haven't read the other books in the series Marry the Scot, you should really start with Storm the Castle, then move on to Love Most, Say Least before diving into Hero. I cannot wait to see what Ally and Wasp get up to in their stories! I've enjoyed the first three books immensely! - Pam Graber
  • Jolie Vines is an amazingly talented writer. I am so completely obsessed with this series and so madly in love with the characters. Each book gets better than the last and when you start off with a 5 star? There just aren't enough stars - Carmen Davis

I’ve read it before but after having read other parts of this series decided to come back and start again. Never left a review the first time, though.

Highly recommend this book

Highly recommend this author ~ she draws you into the story and with how she has the major characters tell their own side, well you feel what they feel. I wish she’d have touched more on Isobel’s disabilities and explained a bi5 more but I loved the flawed character. Most are picture perfect, she was not which made you cheer for her even more.

Lennox was just what she needed to rein her in and focus on what was important.

Now... I’m on to the next book.

Engaging story with a lot of varied characters. I was not the target demographic for this novel and so I probably didn’t like it as well as someone in their 20s/30s. But, I can appreciate good writing and this has it. A good balance of narrative to dialogue and descriptions were not overdone. HEA.

"Yours. Mine." I had a feeling before reading this that Lennox would get with one of Beth and James' kids, and I was right. I hate how Isobel felt about herself and the bullying she suffered. But she was able to still be herself, and with Lennox, she became the person she was always meant to be. I hate how Amber used not only Lennox but Skye as well. She hurt people who didn't deserve it and made it seem like it was something it wasn't. I'm so proud of the man Lennox became and the couple and family they made. I can't wait to read more! Love your books!!!

Now this is a book to enjoy!

I want my own Nox! He was amazing all around. And so was she. The way he knew she was it for him and tried to convey that to her from the beginning with the "yours" and "mine" stuff had me swooning. Seriously, can I go to Scotland and get my own Nox? Because I will absolutely travel from the US to find a man like him!

Really, I loved all the characters. All of them were well written and drew me in. And the racing on her part and her support of him with his family and setting them straight was beautiful. And then to have him finding a place for her garage so she could do what she loved even though he had some big shoes to fill eventually.. swooning all around!

I even loved Sebastian and his friendship with Skye. Though you could tell there was something between them, you weren't 100% sure what until the ending.

I didn't understand what Sebs issue with Artair was when Seb was in the military though. I didn't quite follow that in this book. But he definitely didn't like Artair. But the look of Skye and Artair in this book was hot all on its own! Their story will be explosive as well no doubt!

Such a great read all around. I can absolutely picture the setting and the characters and everything. Such a book hangover after reading this one. I want more of them and all the Scots! 💙💙

The only thing I didn't like was the so called epilogue. It is NOT an epilogue. It's a preview for the next book. Totally now what an epilogue is supposed to be, but whatever. I'll forgive the author because I loved the story so much.

Definitely looking forward to the next book!

Oh. And for the record, I'm in the USA and loved the writing of the book too. Though at times I really had to think about what they were saying since the words aren't American English. Hehe. But I loved that aspect too since it really set and sold the story being in Scotland and all. 💙💙

Lennox and Isobel’s story was good. This was my first time reading this author. If I continue, I believe starring with her Marrying the Scots series would be a good place to go, even though I am interested in Skye’s story and I need to see if Seb has his own, too.

Gah! It's seriously hard not to fall in love with Jolie's Scots! Lennox McRae is a mountain of a man and just my style. I love that he's the future of the McRae clan and he's pretty responsible, but has a wild side. Little Isobel is a spitfire in everything she does. That includes racing cars and fixing cars. I loved this little pixie mixing it up in a man's world. Isobel starts out the story unsure of herself and her place, but gains confidence as the events unfold. Nox has had his heart and his eyes on Isobel for years and he's determined to make her his. This book was a wild ride. Hard Nox was super steamy and gave me ALL of the things I love about the Wild Scots! I can't wait to read about Skye next! 4 stars

Who doesn’t love a manly Scot?
Words of this story weave emotions that carry the reader through a complicated mind of a young woman that believes she lacks what it takes to be the one for the man she loves. He of course knows that she is the only one for him and set out to prove it to her.
Ready for your heart to fall in love with this characters and enjoy the ride of emotions and humour.
