Brit vs Scot by Anna Durand

Rating: WARTY!

"His brother’s destination wedding at a nudist resort gives Grey Dixon time to win over the woman of his dreams - his best friend, Jessica O’Connor." And why would he need time to win her over when she's his best friend already? Another dumb-as-fuck non-romance by an author who, more likely than not, has never been to Britain. The reason I say this is that she seems not to understand that 'Brit(ish)' means a national or native of the United Kingdom - which includes Scotland. So what the fuck, exactly, does the title mean?

Spellbound in a Kilt by Anna Durand

Rating: WARTY!

"Years after Luke Turner dumped her for announcing her status as a witch, Kirsty MacTaggart encounters him again at a wedding reception. But this time he’s determined to debunk her claim — and she has no idea what he’s willing to do to accomplish his goal." And this beliigerant asshole is part of a supposed romance story? What's he going to do: rape the truth out of her? Barf. There's no romance here. This is yet another story set in Scotland written by a US author who's more than likely never been there. This genre seems hell-bent on misrepresenting the Gaelic peoples. Why? I don't know. I guess it makes them money.

The Dixon Brothers Trilogy by Anna Durand

Rating: WARTY!

"An anonymous one-night stand, an accidental roommate, and a pretend relationship take unexpected turns as American girls get seduced by sexy Brits! Meet the Dixon brothers in this collection of steamy erotic romances" Why not just call them the Dick Brothers, then the title of the novel could be "The Swinging Dicks" Be sure to pack extra antibiotics for this one since it's undoubtedly pretty much The McTaggert Brothers with a search and replace done on character names. Barf.

The MacTaggart Brothers Trilogy by Anna Durand

Rating: WARTY!

"Who can resist a man in a kilt?" Me! I volunteer. This is another condescending look at Scotland by an American author: "When the sexy, Scottish MacTaggart brothers travel to the US, their charming brogues and fiery passion will lead to red-hot connections" and lots of penicillin shots. Barf. Stereotype much?
