I am a BIG fan of the author. I have loved her contemp romances. She is very gifted in writing and creating characters for me to love. And so I was looking forward to another series set in the South. Unfortunately I kinda hated this story.

- It moved very slowly and I mean SLOW
- I did not feel any passion between
Alasdair and Izzy not even a liittle. Between his uncle and her Mom YES but them not even a little
- I was kinda bored with the two characters I felt they each very very passionless people
- The story is set in Georgia and centers around a castle and highland games. Even the games felt boring.

This might have been better as a short story but I felt nothing really happened in it and I did not feel the attraction between the couple at all.

What happens when not one but two Highlanders strut into Izzy's life? Well, she suddenly learns that there's a different kind of loyalty, one tied to family obligation and the other to her dreams and ambitions and it is not an easy journey of distinction to make.
This is a simple, light and fun read.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC. PS: Love the cover!

Very cute and very funny. Would be a great beach read! Loved the chemistry first between Gareth and Rosie, but then Alaisdar and Izzy get together and were so much fun. Also loved all the secondary town characters. It sounds like Anna maybe the next one to get a book and I have no doubts it will be good. Can't wait to read it.

A souvenir, indeed.

It sounds like the festival is definitely a burden, when it should be fun.

Wow, his mom is a piece of work. Literally. American tart?

To be fair, I would have assumed she was talking about hot tea and I'm American.

She needs more backbone.

How long do they think they can keep this charade up?

Nothing like talk of cannibalism to inspire romance.

Who needs a crow call?

Oy.

She could just go home to America before July.
