Thank you net galley, Pepper Basham, and Thomas Nelson publishing for an E-ARC of this book.

What a SLOW, SLOW burn love story between two people who has both suffered family loss. Katie is a travel blogger/writer and who travels to scotland for an Edwardian experience. During her trip she meets many locals, including a handsome, grumpy Scotsman.

This was a sweet story but just not my type of love story. It really took a long time for the characters to even start to form a budding relationship. I could have done without the Edwardian experience too. I loved the descriptions of Scotland though!

A 5* Rom-Com With All the Things!

A bookshop, a granny book club, a Scottish manor house, a weasel (both animal and human), a dancing butler, a hairy coo (read the book to find out what this is) and (yes!) a Pepper Basham closet kissing scene…to name a few things I love about this book! This fun romp also has endearing characters and a sense of family I’d want to come home to.

Other things I love about this book? The heroine, a ginger-headed travel writer, Katie Campbell, is larger than life (no pun intended) who can’t live up to her mom’s expectations, is beyond accident prone and in need of a hero to save her in more ways than one.

Enter Graeme MacKerrow, a “handsome but grumpy, barrel-chested, blue-eyed Scot” who is closed off, owing to grief and hurt, when Katie “falls” into his life.

This fun story shifts between the two MC’s (first person) POVs, which in my book (ha! pun intended) adds to the fun, thanks to knowing what’s going on in both of their heads! I chuckled a lot and might have even cried at the end (it was stellar!).

This book is suitable for teens and older with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language. I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review.

“Some Like It Scot” by Suzanne Enoch is a delightful Highland romance that brings together adventure, humor, and sizzling chemistry.

Tne story follows Munro “Bear” MacLawry, a rugged Highlander with a reputation for charm, who unexpectedly encounters Catriona MacColl—a fiery, sharp-shooting lass in trousers—hiding out in the Highlands to escape an unwanted marriage- I mean this book had me HOOKED.

Their initial clash evolves into a captivating tale of mutual respect and undeniable attraction. Enoch’s engaging writing style and well-drawn characters make this a standout in the Scandalous Highlanders series. If you’re a fan of spirited heroines, dashing heroes, and a romance that sizzles amidst the Scottish hills, this one’s for you.

I felt a bit duped by this one. The cover, description, etc. didn't lead me to believe whatsoever that it would be heavily Christian and that's ultimately what it was. Since I was gifted the ARC I wanted to give it a fair shot regardless, but after a few too many references to God and heaven followed by a nudge to join someone's church rather than a kiss... I simply had to DNF.

I thoroughly believe that stories find their intended reader and that there is someone who shares those same Christian values who will see themselves reflected within this story. That person, unfortunately, was not me.

This book was the palate cleanser I needed after a high-fantasy novel! Ever a sucker for a good rom-com,(especially when a grumpy Scot is involved) this exceeded my expectations. Maybe I’m a tad biased because I’m also a clumsy, somewhat nerdy Katie myself, but you should definitely give this book a read for the banter alone. Thank you so much to NetGalley for the arc of this book, I will definitely be purchasing a physical copy!

There are a variety of reasons why I decide to try a book. Sometimes it's the blurb. Other times it's the author. In Some Like It Scot's case, it was because I saw the main female character is tall.

Humor abounds in this book, primarily because Katie is a world class champion at attracting catastrophe. I related so much to her: her height (although I'm five inches shorter than her 6'1"), her clumsiness, and the immense awkwardness that comes from growing up towering over almost everyone. There's more to Katie than her catastrophicness, though. She's a kind and caring soul doing everything she can to protect her wounded and battered heart.

Enter Graeme. I am so, so, so happy this is not a "short girl ends up with the tall guy" situation (because, frankly, I'm beyond sick of reading about it). It was so gratifying to watch the adorable romance bloom between the two.

Most of the secondary characters are great, too, excluding Mark the Menace. He's not great. He's on the Seamus the Highland Cow level of nasty (if you know, you know).

The plot is fun, touching, and well-paced. There is a light sprinkling of faith and I really enjoyed the church scene.

There are few content warnings: emotional manipulation by a secondary character and some sabotage by another. There is a possible instance of the Lord's name taken in vain.

In conclusion, with a hearty dose of humor, a nice dose of slow-burn romance, and a gentle sprinkle of faith, Some Like It Scot is a fun, heartwarming story that will both make you laugh and encourage you to remember God's purposeful design for making everyone unique.

I picked up Some Like It Scot because I’m a big fan of both Scotland and romance, so this seemed like the perfect combination.

However, I failed to notice beforehand that this is Christian Fiction—a personal oversight on my part. Since this isn’t a genre I typically enjoy, I likely wouldn’t have chosen this book had I realized.

The setting was lovely, and I liked the protagonist, but as the story progressed, I found myself losing interest. The number of side characters felt overwhelming and I struggled to stay engaged in the second half.

While this book wasn’t for me, I can see it being a fit for readers who enjoy faith-based romances with a strong sense of place. If that sounds like you, this may be worth checking out.

Thank you to the publisher for my complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I received a complimentary readers copy from galley! The opinion given is my own on this book! I really did enjoy this novel. It’s been a life long dream of mine to visit Scotland . I found myself at many times vividly seeing the landscape . I have always wanted to be a travel blogger so I definitely felt a connection with the main character Katie from the beginning .

In comes the love interest and swoon! What a fun read with lots of banter and slow burn romance!

This is the first book I have read by Pepper Basham and now I cannot wait to read more by her. Characters are fun, the story line kept me intrigued, and laughing out loud. I thoroughly enjoyed Katie on her Miss Adventures, I really enjoyed the cute honesty of Lachlan, and loved the "Hot Scot" Graeme and how he treated Katie. The times when they rescue each other is sweet & fun. This is the perfect beach read! Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

4.5 stars. This was a cute story. I loved the setting and the descriptions of Scotland were spot-on. It’s magical. The author did an excellent job capturing the accent and Scottish-isms; a lot of times American authors seem to really botch it and make it sound unnatural.
I enjoyed the main characters and their families, but the Edwardian Experience and related characters could have been made more interesting.

Thanks to the publisher for the free copy in exchange of an honest review.
This book is perfect for a cozy and light reading to take you company for some hours. At the same time it's an hymn for Scotland landscapes and Highland's life. I really appreciate this kind of realism, and for sure it was something that made me go on with my reading.
Unfortunately, the romance is flat, and didn't emotionally involved me at all. I missed the sparks and the chemistry between the main characters, so for me it's a no.

quiet liked this, story was good and characters were fun. plot felt slow sometimes and wasn't sure if it was going to pick back up but it did!

I really enjoyed this book. I loved watching the blossoming relationship between the two main characters, especially how Katie was so easily integrated within Graeme’s family. She was such a relatable character and I was really rooting for her happy ending. I absolutely adored the world building and descriptions of the settings. As someone who loves Scotland, I really felt like I was there with her the whole time. It definitely made me want to book a trip to Mull asap.

This is the first book I have read by this author but it absolutely will not be the last. Characters are well developed, the plot is intriguing throughout, there is so much humor, and in general it is just a well put together story. I laughed along with Katie on her Miss Adventures, I thoroughly enjoyed the sweet honesty of Lachlan (Graeme's nephew), and loved the "Hot Scot" Graeme and how he consistently cared for Katie. The moments where they rescue each other physically, emotionally or socially are all well crafted throughout. I will definitely be back for more, and am likely to add this to to reread pile for another day. Do yourself the favor and get this one asap!

Some Like It Scot by Pepper Basham is a fun and adorable romp in Scotland that no one should miss. Katie, who is know professionally as "MIss Adventure" for her perilous travels is invited to a 3 week stay at a castle in Scotland. In true form, she manages to get tangled up, literally, with the owner of the castle, Graeme and in finding each other learn lessons about what it means to search for what is truly important in life and what a home can look like. I adored this novel and although it's listed as a Christian novel it wasn't too preachy as many can be.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

some Like It Scot by Pepper Basham was a very splendid surprise! What a fun romance with a fantastic cast of characters.

I'd like to thank Thomas Nelson and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview this book!

A charming read. I loved this story and the only complaint I have was at the words THE END. I was sad when it ended and am really hoping for the brothers to get their story. I did love the nod to Skymar and that other series. The writing was such to evoke emotion for the characters, their hurdles, and love of the land. Definitely so many sweet & enduring moments and so many scenes to love. The story ended just perfectly. This really helped me getting out of my reading slump.
Some of my favorite parts of the story:
*Humorous, and whimsical
*Fantastic world building and paints a wonderful picture of the land and village.
*the characters: I love the mom. She was the pefect amount of charm and cozy.
*Mr. Lennox
*the crazy girl on the bike with no breaks
*the nephew
*the knitting crew

Some Like it Scot by Pepper Basham

This book unfortunately was not for me but fans of Pepper Basham will love it! The premise was intriguing and I was game. Scottish estate hosting Regency-era Cosplay Retreat! Funny characters and I am admitting to almost 50% but unfortunately the plot was moving very slowly and if you are a fan of a lot of description and inner-monologue then you will enjoy this story. I would like to know how it ends. I just wish I could have gotten there sooner. I was cheering for the characters and hoped they found their way to each other!

I’ll be honest and tell you the very beginning of the book was a dud for me, it just wasn’t peaking my interest. Then the weird spelling of words started to try to give that feel of Irish pronunciation. That was a miss for me, it just didn’t flow naturally for all of it. But despite all that all of the sudden I found myself falling in love with Katie and Graeme and their love story. Started as a two star read for me but finished as a three star.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read the ARC.

Took a bit to get into this book and I found the story slow at times.....but I did like the storyline and the story being told. The characters found themselves again and were able to find their way to each other, getting the HEA I always enjoy!
