The timeless romance, soaring passion—and gorgeous men—of Scotland comes to modern-day America. And the rules of love will never be the same…
Isabel Buchanan is fiery, funny, and never at a loss for words. But she is struck speechless when her mother returns from a trip to Scotland with a six-foot-tall, very handsome souvenir. Izzy’s mother is so infatuated by the fellow that Izzy has to plan their annual Highland Games all by herself. Well, not completely by herself. The Highlander’s strapping young nephew has come looking for his uncle…
Alasdair Blackmoor has never seen a place as friendly as this small Georgia town—or a girl as brilliant and beguiling as Izzy. Instead of saving his uncle, who seems to be having a lovely time, Alasdair decides he’d rather help Izzy with the Highland Games. Show her how to dance like a Highlander. Drink like a Highlander. And maybe, just maybe, fall in love with a Highlander. But when the games are over, where do they go from here?
“Laura Trentham creates a romance that is both extremely sensual and phenomenal.”—Fresh Fiction
Cocktails and Books received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.
This is a charming, heartwarming story filled with colorful characters. Alasdair and Isabel come from two different countries and backgrounds but the simmering attraction can’t keep them apart. They both care about their families and their main goal is to protect them. However, it is difficult for them to ignore their growing feelings for each other.
Alasdair and Isabel are brought together because they are worried about their families. At first they are distrustful, but as they open their hearts, they learn to trust each other. Alasdair is a Scotsman with a great accent and is hard to resist. I enjoyed this fun summer read by Laura Trentham.
