Episode 2 - The Kilt Rises
Description
In which there are Scottish accents in the text, a stubborn lass in trousers, and a beefy man with a perpetual kilt tent, this is Some Like it Scot!
In Bodice Ripping’s second episode, our four heroines discuss Suzanne Enoch’s Some Like it Scot, the fourth novel in her Scandalous Highlanders series. Being a traditional Regency Era “Bodice Ripper,” it’s no surprise that the book had little in the way of plot, but more than enough in descriptions of muscles, longing looks between the two main characters, and confusions in pronunciation when trying to read the written-in Scottish accents. At least this time, the main male lead is somewhat likeable and sweet at times, and the female lead is sassy and unjustly criticized for her fashion choices, which helped make the book a fun romp rather than a slog thicker than a foggy moor. Listen in as Alli, Gina, Lauren, and Rachel discuss antiquated gender dynamics, horrifying historical birth control, and of course, kilt tents.
