Isobel
Heir to the McRae estate, Lennox is the huge Highlander everyone respects. But deep down, he's a dirty fighter. He crashed my car, stole my first kiss, then walked away with another woman.
There’s no reason why, years later, when I see him in a fight, I should be lusting after his body. They call him Hard Nox, but I know him, and damned if he's 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.

Ooh, I've been waiting for this new generation of Jolie's Scots, and reader, Hard Nox did not disappoint!
The story of Isobel and Lennox is years in the making, and the misunderstandings they need to unravel to get together are perfectly angsty, with a good hint of teenage drama thrown in.
But the characters grow up so much in the course of the novel, it's a delight to watch. I dislike stories where the hero and heroine repeat the same mistakes over and over, and it was so good to see how both Lennox and Isobel dealt with their issues to emerge stronger.
From the gorgeous Scottish Highlands to glitzy Monaco, this book took me on a wild ride. I can't wait for Skye and Sebastian's stories! -
Hard Nox by Jolie Vines is book One in the Wild Scots Series. This is the story of Lennox 'Nox' and Isobel. Isobel and Nox shared a kiss when they were younger which of course added to Isobel's crush but then he left for the military. Isobel has image issue but has moved on to fast cars and daredevil ways. But now Nox is back from being away and Isobel is set on not giving in to her feelings or to him.
I enjoyed seeing their story play out and excited for this new series. -
5 yours-mine stars! Loved this book!
"Sharing a space with Isobel did strange things to my heart - and my body in general."
Lennox McRae and Isobel Fitzroy have known each since they were children, as they have a family connection. An unexpected frisson and a stolen kiss when Isobel is 16 and Lennox is 18, and about to join the army, haunts them both for four years. When Lennox is back home for good, he's finally able to do something about it, but the path to their HEA is pitted with misunderstanding and not a little hotheadedness!
"A whomp of heat hit me. The attraction I'd been almost sure was one-sided turned into clear, keen chemistry."
Who knew that Lennox McRae would be such a dirty talker?! He's got all the makings and promise of being a commanding clan chief. From the moment the spark lit between them as teenagers to when they finally meet properly again as adults, the sizzling chemistry between them was a tangible thing. Lennox really stole my heart with his determination and solid intentions toward Isobel, and how he made her feel like the most beautiful and precious thing in the world to him. I loved his devotion to her.
"Isobel was a rollercoaster ride, and I could barely hold on for dear life. I'd break stuff for her. I'd tear myself to shreds for her."
Isobel was a firecracker of a woman. She's pretty tough, independent and determined to thrive in a male-dominated world. I loved her drive and her passion. My heart hurt for her vulnerability, but Lennox raised her up and made her realise her self-worth and what she meant to him.
I started this series with the second book but so glad I've caught up now, especially as we meet Blayne properly in this story. I can't wait for the final book now, which is his story. -

Wow! There are some books that you read and you they’re unforgettable. This is one of them. It’s told from both POV so you're with the characters every step of the way.
At 16 years old Isobel lashed out through speed...racing fast cars. She loved vehicles and the mechanics surrounded them. But she hated school. At 18 years old, Lennox is about to join the military with his best friend, Sebastian, Isobel’s brother. Helping his family and friends get ready to celebrate Christmas at their Scottish castle, Lennox realises that Isobel’s is missing. About to race her mothers brand new Tesla, he swoops in and drags her and her car off the track. After sharing a heart stopping kiss later that night they realised for the first time that they were attracted to each other, but then Isobel found out he had a girlfriend....
Four years later, Lennox is out of the military, ready to start working on ideas for his families estate but he still can’t forget that kiss with Isobel. Working in classic car restoration, neither can Isobel. When circumstances bring them back together again, Lennox wants to finally clear the air. Isobel not so much. As the story develops the characters run hot and cold with tempers and passion always at boiling point. Both hotheads, they have so much in common in very different ways. When they focus that passion on each other, their relationship heats up as they begin to repair their friendship. Really well written with fantastic characters throughout. Absolutely brilliant.

Holy Scotsman!!! This book is so HOT!!
I have spent the past few days, yes, days reading the Marry the Scot series and fell in love, deeply in love with the McRaes, every single one of them. This story was Lennox’s story and boy I wanna book a trip to Scotland and find me a 6’5” Highlander of my own! This book had all the feels; angst, frustration, anger, anxiety, love and holy hot sex!!! Jolie Vines you are my hero in the way that you write. I am so looking forward to Perfect Storm, and the highly anticipated Lion Heart that comes out in a few days!! You ROCK!!! -
Fast paced, sexy, and captivating
I absolutely adored the Marry the ascot series by this author and this story felt like coming home to family. This series is about the kids from the previous series, and I loved every minute of this book.
Lennox and Isobel have history together, and not all of it was good. It was really interesting to see Isobel learn to overcome her feelings of shortcoming, and to watch Lennox grow in confidence as a civilian. The Warricks were great antagonists too :) -
Modern Alpha Scot and His Speed Demon
Thoroughly enjoyed my first Jolie Vines book! 4.5 Stars!
Based on the age of the characters, it's probably New Adult, but still had some maturity to it. It also had a few other things I really liked: a brawny Highlander in a kilt, a lady mechanic, super cars, dramatic comeuppance, and a grand romantic gesture. -
Second generation! Wow. And I thought I'd never love any characters more than those in the first series. Jolie brings in some of the most complicated, stubborn, yet endearing characters in her stories. I love seeing familiar characters and how they interact with their 'grown' children. Definitely characters that you simply wish were real. Lovely story.
-
Fast-paced, fun, escapist romance. Leave reality at the door because this story is close to over-the-top. Lots of travel and unrealistic events for the age of the characters (Isobel is 21 and Lennox is 23). Large cast of characters gave it a "small town romance" feel without the small town. Liked it enough to continue to the next story.
-
Really good
Brilliant read well written, Nox and Is are the next generation, Nox is Callum and Mattie's eldest son and Is is James and Beth's youngest Daughter. Love it can't wait for more of the siblings stories. -
Modern day Highlander romance
I loved this book. The description reeled me in and from the first chapter I was hooked. This is the first book I've read by Jolie Vines but it certainly won't be the last! -
FABULOUS STORY!
Hot alpha Scots, military man, friends to forevers, head strong females and the highlands make this one fabulous story! "Mine, yours"! You'll have to read to find out but oh my heart what an amazing read! 4.5 stars free with K.U. -
This was such a cute book 🥺
The Scottish men just hit different I think..Nox was such a darling and Isobel, although lacked confidence in herself, was great. She’s a bit of an adrenaline junkie and I love that in a FMC, not just letting all the boys have ‘fun’. -
Loved it
What an unexpected read. This was my first by this author and I was not disappointed. I loved every word of it.
