About this listen
When a sweet Scot meets a hot Brit with a mysterious past, can she resist the irresistible?
I never let anyone into my life, much less my heart. Teaching college students keeps me busy, and the occasional anonymous shag satisfies my urges. But then, a bonnie Scots lass walks into my world, and everything changes. I shouldn't be with Catriona MacTaggart. She awakens something in me that needs to stay buried. I should keep away, but I can't do it.
Seducing her is a mistake. Living with her might be the worst disaster of all.
The moment I saw Alex Thorne, I knew I wanted to be with him. No other man has ever made me feel so alive and so confused at the same time. The harder I try to get to know him, the further he pulls away. But something about him keeps me coming back for more—until the day catastrophe strikes, and I finally have no choice but to leave him.
The British bastard wrecked me, but I have the strangest feeling fate isn't done with us yet.
The British Bastard is a Hot Scots prequel that reveals the full backstory of Alex and Catriona, going beyond what's revealed in Irresistible in a Kilt.

He turns into Dr. One Night Stand, and I’m not sad about it. Monday morning, I’m enthusiastic and excited, until I bump into...you guessed it.

I entertain naked people for a living. No, not that kind of entertainment. I own a nudist resort. I'm not a nudist, but Val Silva is. And he's a human supernova sleeping in the room next door. The man is tall, gorgeous, tattooed, and a shameless exhibitionist. As the Brazilian bad boy of the international football world, he's as famous for his sextape as for his talent on the field. Oh, did I mention he walks around naked all the time? A girl only has so much willpower. Maybe we can have a little fun...as long as his tabloid past doesn't mess with my quiet life.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Story
British ad exec Dylan Locke isn't looking for love. He isn't looking for fate. He's definitely not looking for Audrey Lind. She's pretty, far too young, and overly romantic - in short, exhausting. But when the girl, young enough to be his daughter, literally lands in his lap and asks for his expertise, he'd be lying if he said he wasn't interested. In her body, in her innocence, in her philosophy. In the kind of kismet that starts with kisses. But Audrey isn't looking for love either - she's looking for lessons, and she's certain Dylan knows everything she needs to learn.

Story
I had a plan: Sign a contract, and board a plane to Ibiza. The anonymous deal would salvage the smoldering wreckage of my life. It would not involve billionaire Harrison King, the reason I need saving in the first place. He’s as beautiful as he is cruel. A British business titan who makes a living getting what he wants. The man flies private. Dates supermodels. But the crisp accent and cocky smirk don’t fool me. He’s a gentleman on the outside, a savage beneath. Dangerous, rough, and brutal.

Explosive Banter! What A Prequel!
This is a prequel that tells some of the backstory between Catriona and Alex. At first I thought it would be a basic teacher/student storyline. I should have known better! Both of these characters went off the rails and what we got is a steamy, fun and wonderful backstory. By the time I was done I was wanting to listen to their story again. They have explosive banter and I never really knew what either of them would do.
I did listen to this on audio. Marian Hussey and Shane East did an amazing job on the narration. I throughly enjoyed listening to them tell this story.

Love this meet cute!
Did you ever wonder how two of your favorite characters meet? Anna Durand has given us the opportunity to see just how Cat and Alex meet before we get their full story and it's amazing! A sweet and spicy listen, filled with secrets and passion. Alex is a professor and Cat is a graduate student. Incredible chemistry pulls them together, but love is the glue. If the secrets are revealed though, will Cat stay with her true love? A bit of suspense, a lot of passion and it leaves wanting to re-listen to Irresistible in a Kilt!
Narrated by the talents of Shane East and Marian Hussey, the story is beyond perfect. East falls into Alex, a hint of mystery and brokenness, and a lot of sensuality. Cat is energetic, knows her heart and is full of passion, and all of this explodes from Hussey. It's a fun listen, and is the perfect segway to their story.

My favorite couple!
I really loved getting more into Alex and Carriona's backstory of their first meeting and their whirlwind relationship in the beginning. Their first kiss was the hottest thing ever! Of course even though I knew what was coming in the end, with all that happens to Cat, it didn't make it any easier. It did make me wanna listen to their book again though.
Marian Hussey and Shane East always do Anna's characters justice. Always a pleasure to listen to them in an audiobook.

Great prequel!
This is an excellent prequel to Catriona/Cat and Alex's story (from Irresistible in a Kilt). I love the Hot Scots series! This is a great addition to the series. Shane East and Marian Hussey did an amazing job with the narration. I enjoyed it. Looking forward for more in the series.
