New York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins is back with a brand-new, sizzling series featuring three unforgettable, untamed brothers who must marry or risk losing their inheritance.

Dashing Scottish privateer Conner Douglas must marry a respectable, well-born woman—and soon, if he wants to secure his rightful inheritance. Determined to still explore the high seas as well as his mistresses’ beds, he aims to find a pliable wife who’ll turn a blind eye to his antics. And he knows just the woman—childhood friend and mousy spinster Miss Theodora Cumberbatch-Snowe.

Unbeknownst to Conner, meek and plain Theodora has been hopelessly in love with him for years. But unwilling to wait forever for what will never happen, Theodora plans to wed a kind—if unexciting—local landowner, leaving behind the wild Highlander of her dreams.

Yet Conner refuses to let his perfect wife get away. He chases her to Gretna Green and is shocked to discover the real Theodora is an ardent and wildly sensual woman. Soon he realizes his passion to win her has nothing to do with securing his inheritance and everything to do with earning the love of the unforgettable woman who has vowed to leave him in her past forever. But have his wandering ways chased the woman he loves away for good? Or can Conner convince Theodora to give him one last chance before she marries the wrong man?

This is the first book of Karen Hawkins’ new series and it’s wonderful! Brothers Conner, Jack and Declan Douglas arrive at the home of their brother-in-law, Lachlan (Duke of Hamilton) to discover their sister died giving birth to a baby boy who survived. According to her will they have 4 months to marry or their inheritance goes to the hated Campbells. Anna raised them after the death of their parents and wanted them to settle down. This book is Conner’s story.

Conner decides he’ll marry Thea (Theodora Cumberbatch-Snowe), his friend Derrick’s younger sister. He spent lots of his school breaks at Derrick’s house and likes Thea. However, he doesn’t go to her until the 4 months are almost up and discovers she’s eloped with a neighboring squire, Lancelot Fox. So, he goes after her. He finds her at an inn after the squire’s curricle lost a wheel.

As a young girl, Thea fell in love with Conner but he never paid her much attention. She finally accepts that he won’t ever love her and since she is “on the shelf” agrees to elope with a local squire. When Conner finds her at an inn she realizes he is upset about something. Since the curricle is broken, he offers Thea and Lance his carriage. He also convinces Lance she must have a chaperone. His driver is told to take the long way to Gretna Green and somehow he keeps meeting up with them.

I hope I’ve enticed you to read this really good book as the rest of it just gets better and better. Miscommunications, kisses and maybe more than one HEA. I can easily recommend this book. One of the best lines is from Conner: “Tis easier to read the intentions of a nor’easter than it is to follow a woman’s thinking.”

I can’t wait for the brothers’ stories and maybe even a HEA for the now widowed Duke.

Conner Douglas is devastated by the death of his sister, Anna. And now her husband is saying that he intends to enforce Anna's last wish. All three brothers, Jack, Conner and Declan, must marry a respectable woman within the next three months or lose their inheritance to their enemies, the Campbells.

Although Conner is loath to give up his decadent ways, he is not worried. Theodora Cumberbatch-Snowe will marry him; all he has to do is ask her. So he spends the next five weeks wallowing in decadence before seeking out Thea. When he arrives, however, he learns that Thea has eloped with another man, so he sets out in pursuit of the runaway couple.

Conner is a vain, arrogant and handsome man, a rake and a privateer. He has no intention of giving up the sea. Thea is a sensible, independent woman who wants a home, a husband and children, not a future of living alone waiting for her husband to put in an occasional appearance.

Karen Hawkins has done it again. In the first book of her new Made to Marry series, she brings her trademark humor to the page but also adds a serious note. You’ll not be disappointed if you pick this one up for an enjoyable read. A plus, it’s already available in audio,

Conner Douglas and his brothers, Declan and Jack, are bound by the terms of his sister Anna’s will to wed. His brother-in-law, Lachlan Hamilton, Duke of Hamilton, informs them she must be a woman of good standing. He tells them the nuptials take place before three months have expired. Conner wagers a hundred pounds with his brothers Jack and Declan he knows the perfect candidate to wed. Theodora Cumberbatch-Snowe is biddable, passable in looks, and even of disposition. However, when he reaches her manor, he discovers she’s eloped with apparently esteemed squire Lancelot Fox. He makes a rash decision to follow her accompanied by first mate and butler Ferguson and Coxswain MacLeish. They almost flip their coach on what they feel is their logical journey.

What saddens Thea is she’s been in love with Conner Douglas since she was fourteen. His profligate ways put her off from catching his attention. He catches up with her at a wayside inn and finds her in a bedraggled condition. He cannot resist taking her in his arms and kissing her. He makes the mistake of blurting out a marriage proposal after telling her the conditions if his late sister’s will. She declines his clumsy invitation.

As he’s pondering what to do, the squire returns from getting a repaired wheel. He’s totally unlike Conner’s perception of him. He’s a handsome, brawny, man. This puts a new light on the situation.

I love Karen Hawkins. I've loved all her books. She's an excellent writer. And this story is no exception. It very well written in dialogue and character development. However the plot itself is so boring. So so boring. I almost couldn't finish it. I really hope.she gets some new ideas soon.

I love all Karen's books. I'm not like a creepy stalker or anything but yeah, I buy all of them. I read other books and put them down cause they just aren't as good.
You'll love her well-crafted characters that have real problems. It's so freaking annoying to get a romance novel where the girl's biggest problem is her virginity that she holds on to like it's gold. Or has a secret that ends up being the silliest thing you've ever heard. Not the case with these books....

The guys are hunky, the girls have grit. The romance is HOT.

Read it.

Good story. I liked the characters and the plot of this first book in the series. I'm glad she relented and met him half way. Looking forward to reading the next installment.

Karen Hawkins is one of my most favored treasures and go to authors when I need something I can depend on to simply become engrossed in.

This latest release, Caught by the Scot, is a fantastic read! Pulling the reader into the story and characters lives and making them experience multiple emotions along side the story as it unfolds. Combing humor, adventure, passion, spirit, sparks and fire, resulting in a perfect romance that keeps you turning pages from the beginning to the end.

I highly recommend this book and author to anyone who loves reading romance. Keeper shelf material all the way.

On the first attempt, I didn’t get past the first few chapters due to the H being an absolute ass, turning up to ask the h to marry him with his latest paramour, insensate with drink, in the carriage he came in...So, I put it aside, read something else, then decided to give it another go as I normally like this author’s work...I’m pleased to add that the H improves mightily by the end of the book. Fortunately, the h is a feisty sort !
