My first novella and it did not disappoint. While I felt some of the events were a bit far fetched, it still remained cute. I enjoyed Melissa and her optimism towards life despite of everything that happened to her.

I love that Melissa just books a flight to start a new life in Scotland with no hesitation! Should we all be so brave! This story reads like a wonderful fantasy world. Beautiful new home, friendly townspeople, a handsome Scot in a kilt doesn't hurt either...

Highland's Christmas about a woman whose husband suddenly wants a divorce. She decides after receiving a letter from company that she inherited a house in Scotland, so she moves from Boston to Scotland to start her new life. Along the way, she meets people who she automatically clicks with but one of them being the lawyer of her soon to be ex-husband.

The book is a short read and it's really cute for Christmas time with lots of holiday festivities in it! Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this book!

Highlands Christmas is the story of Melissa MacKenzie, an American interior designer who has gone through a bad divorce. She inherits a home in Scotland - and finds romance in the process.

I wanted to read this book because the Scottish setting was appealing, and I loved the idea of the protagonist inheriting a house far away.

This is a fun, light, short (novella length) read. I loved the Scottish setting - and the Christmas theme. I recommend it for fans of women's fiction and light holiday romance.

What an adorable little Christmas read. It made me happy reading this little tale of a happy ending for Melissa, the main character. The only thing is I feel the book felt a little rushed. I could have used a little more romance.

Thank you to NetGalley and Amy Quick Parrish for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my review

This was a super quick and enjoyable holiday read. Perfect for one of those books you're wanting to read to get you in the mood for the season. It is a clean romance, and I liked that about it. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves Christmas!

If you want something that feels like a hallmark movie this is it. Everything that I want in a cozy Christmas story. A big thanks for sending me this ARC. I’m forever thankful

This was a really quick but fun book. I needed this Christmas read to get me in the full spirit!
However, I felt like it was a bit rushed and I would've liked to read more about the characters (they felt flat sometimes!) and their relationships... I'm really excited for the sequel! Also, I really liked the whole Scottish culture!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was a cute and sweet Christmas book. Perfect read for the holidays. Hallmark movie in a book.

I do not like novellas because when they are cute and fluffy they are just TOO SHORT. Which was the case of this one. This book had everything to be a great Christmas book : a sudden divorce, a hot divorce lawyer, Scotland in December, Haggis and Christmas cookies 🎄
It was just too fast and I needed more of Colin in a kilt thank you.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC 🫶

I loved this cute and sweet Christmas novella! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quick holiday romance read. I want to pack my stuff and head to the Scottish Highlands. I loved the characters and the side characters.

Hallmark Christmas movie style of a book - for Christmas time exactly what you need, a short story which makes you chuckle.

Not really a literary wonder but it was fun and short.

3.5 stars rounded up.

Super cute little Christmas novella! I didn’t pay attention and didn’t realize this was a novella going in. I usually don’t love novellas because of how rushed and unbelievable they usually are, but this one was pretty cute. I really enjoyed the main characters, the setting, and the additional characters too. The romance didn’t come on too strong, which I found refreshing for a novella.

Overall it was a cute, easy read for getting into the Christmas Spirit!

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for my copy in exchange for my honest review.

This novella had so much potential. I think if it was a full length novel it could have really gone somewhere. Basically the premise of the story is that Melissa is given a surprise divorce decree from her husband. Reeling from the shock, Melissa discovers that she has inherited a home in Scotland. Once in Scotland though, things aren't all that they seem, and it will take a Christmas miracle for Melissa to get everything that she is wishing for.

I enjoyed the beginning, the set-up for the story was decent and Melissas meet-cute with her ex-husbands divorce lawyer Colin was really promising. But then, it all went really stale for me. It's a novella, and I found myself struggling to finish it because I was quite bored.

There's a lot of "and then. and then. and then." With hardly any character development and dialogue, and the back stories were really weak. I stuck around because I was curious about the romance. But man, even that fell really flat for me.

Personally, I think the bones of the story were decent. But the writing itself and the length of the novel really stiff armed it. With better story and character development and increased book length I think it could have gone somewhere.

I received a free copy of this novella from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. All words and opinions are my own.

Any book with its primary or secondary setting in Scotland, always count me in.
I'm fascinated by everything Scottish.
The story was ok, quite enjoyable, but I found lots of parts too cliche and far fetched For a novella so many things were happening but not enough"time" making it too unbelievable.

Thank you NetGalley and Flying Cactus for this ebook.

I really liked this book, it was different than anything else I've read which was a breath of fresh air. I will be recommending this to my friends, and auto buy this author!

The basic premise of this novel was adorable, but the timeframe and detail of events was confounding. There was a lot of detail missing to make any of this believable - I know it's fiction, but it isn't fantasy. Where was the grief, how did she move on so fast, where was the cultivation of drama and angst and even humour. It felt a little rushed and lifeless to me. Unfortunately I didn't connect with the characters because i didn't know the characters but think if it had been fleshed put with just a little "more" thought and detail, it had the potential to be a win for me.

I thought this was a super cute novella! The only problem that I had was that the story felt a little rushed and left out details that I would have liked to know. It also felt a little incomplete at the end. I know that there is a sequel, but I kind of wish the two were just combined into a single book with more details and the full story. Overall, it was a quick and fun holiday read!
Thank you to @netgalley for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review!

This was a super quick, sweet read. Was it realistic? No. Did it make a difference in my enjoyment? Also no. I really liked it. I liked the characters and the scenery.

Haha I love this book it made me laugh so hard it was cute and just want you need for this time. Super easy to read
