This is the first book I have read by Amy Quick Parrish but it certainly won’t be the last. If you love the holiday season you will love this magical novella.
Melissa finds out her husband wants a divorce at the same time as she receives a letter saying she has inherited an old house in Scotland. It seems fate is determined to send her to Edinburgh where she meets a charming Scottish-American lawyer at the airport. What follows is a magical tale as this couple head to the same small town.
A magical read with all the feels good feelings you want from the holiday season. A cute story with sweet characters.
I received a copy from the publisher through Netgalley

I enjoyed the story. A holiday, feel good romance. I liked how everyone that Melissa interacted with in her new home town meant so much to her. There are a couple of highly unlikely events but it was cute.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley.

I wish I could say I like this book but it didn’t work for me. It was a cute story line and I liked the progress of it all but it did become my favorite book.

Highlands Christmas Wishes Come True was a great holiday read. One to take on holiday or sitting in front of a roaring fire.

It hits all the right notes.

Melissa MacKenzie, an interior designer, believed in her picture-perfect marriage until it crumbled before her eyes, thanks to her husband Dave's affair and subsequent demand for a divorce, leaving her without their home. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when she inherits a property in Scotland. En route to Inverness, Melissa encounters Colin McGregor, none other than her ex-husband's Scottish divorce lawyer, who coincidentally resides in the same town as her new home. Sparks fly, leading Melissa and Colin down a path of romantic discovery. This holiday romance novel captivated me with its charming tale of love found in the least expected places.

This was a very quick read at just over 120 pages. It was a cute novella perfect for the holiday season, but I wanted more from it. It felt like the narration style was often telling us what was happening, and the Scottish highland setting lent itself to more of a showing, descriptive prose that I felt was lacking.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Many thanks to Flying Cactus and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was a great short story! Although I wish it was a bit longer. That would've made it even better. Things were moving pretty fast and I couldn't really connect with the characters. But there was a cute little puppy to remedy that. Puppies make everything better!

I'm so glad I received this copy through Netgally.

What an adorable story to start off the Christmas season! I felt like I was watching one of those movies I usually watch at Christmas.

I loved Melissa and the development she got throughout the story. Although I would have liked to go a little deeper into the romance between the characters, I can't deny that I had a lot of fun reading this book.

This was a fun, fairly quick read. The Scottish adventures had me laughing out loud. Ms. Parrish is talented and wrote a really great book.

This is such a cute and sweet holiday story - and the best part is that it's set in Scotland. :) I adore Scotland as a setting, especially for romance, but sometimes they miss the mark. This one certainly HIT the mark, and I know I'll return to it during the holidays next year too.

Maybe there's hype around outlander, but this was not it. This..no. we will not purchase this title.
