Esta novela ofrece una combinación irresistible de deseo de viajar, romance y autodescubrimiento, todo ambientado en el impresionante paisaje de las Tierras Altas de Escocia. Katie Campbell, una inquieta escritora de viajes, se embarca en una experiencia eduardiana de tres semanas en Craighill House y encuentra más que solo material para su próximo artículo. La historia promete tanto un viaje físico como emocional mientras Katie explora temas como el sentido de pertenencia, el duelo y el amor. En última instancia, esta historia parece ser más que un simple romance; es una exploración de las muchas formas en que definimos el "hogar" y encontramos nuestro lugar en el mundo.
Este libro está lleno de ingeniosos diálogos, divertidas aventuras y situaciones humorísticas. Me encantó la ambientación en Escocia y conocer a una gran variedad de personajes encantadoramente carismáticos. Por alguna razón, nunca me enganché del todo ni logré involucrarme por completo, y sentí que la protagonista se encontraba en demasiadas circunstancias extravagantes como para resultar creíble. Sin embargo, este podría ser el libro perfecto para ti si amas las comedias románticas contemporáneas.

“Some Like It Scot” by Pepper Basham is a Hallmark style rom-com in which two seemingly unmatched characters find acceptance, belonging and love. The “punny” banter between the characters is a delight as is the setting in Scotland. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a sweet story of love, acceptance and faith.

I was fortunate to receive a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed regarding this book are entirely my own.

This book was my first encounter with author Pepper Basham, and I’m glad I found her! What an entertaining and fun reading experience! I loved the storyline and all the beautiful descriptions of the Scottish countryside, but I really had fun getting to know “Miss Adventure” as she came to discover what she was really looking for in life. I will be reading more of Pepper Basham’s books in the future and I thank NetGalley for allowing me to discover and read an advance copy of the author’s newest book in exchange for an honest review.

Delightful romance, with witty Banter, and an inspirational message. As the author says, Home can be a place, or a person, or both, definitely a relaxing, thoughtful read.

“Love is always an act of faith because we cannae see the future. But there are some leaps that seem impossible and others that are not.” “But love gives you the strength to leap, and faith gives you the vision to believe that the one you love will be on the other side to catch you.“ Another wonderful love and life story from amazing Pepper Basham. Rooting for Katie and Graeme to find each other and see the future they can have together.

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Fiction for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

The story of Katie, a travel writer, who is dealing with grief and loss in her own life. She is sent to Scotland to experience an Edwardian experience. Where she meets Graeme, a grumpy Scot.

The book was overall enjoyable. It is considered a Christian Romance. It did not have a lot of spice.

I enjoyed the setting, and the Scottish "accent" inserted into the writing. The book had a great bunch of supporting characters. I was not blown away by the book and felt a little disconnected from the main character. But this does not mean that it was a bad book (I tend to be a mood reader.)

Check it out for a cozy, wholesome rom com. 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.

Pepper is an absolute Queen when it comes to heart and humour! I laughed and cried over her newest instalment of delight!

With a subtle nod to Austenland in the way of an “Edwardian Experience,” travel writer Katie Campbell heads to Scotland for the misadventure of a lifetime. My favourite thing about Katie besides her wit, humour, kindness, etc. was her height. Tall girl representation is rare—especially for those of us in the 6’ and counting range. I could have cried with happiness as I felt Katie’s struggles with everything from dress length to shoe size. There may be benefits to height, but the downfalls abound, haha.

I utterly fell in love with Mull and its welcoming people. Mirren, Lachlan, and Graeme especially. I would absolutely love to live there. It doesn’t hurt that I’m a sucker for the accent, too. 😍 Also, that clever mention of Skymar, Pepper?! Icing on the cake!

In short, I was so moved—to laughter & tears. The humour was so on point with Katie’s misadventures, the romance between Graeme & Katie and the healing it brought was beautiful, and most of all, the tenderness at the heart of the story—finding home and belonging—hit me so deeply!


*Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a positive review. These are my honest thoughts and opinions.

I am in a book coma. I'm swooning. I loved everything about this story (and I can't wait for it to be available in audio- oh my Scottish accent loving heart!).
This is a great book for when you need some happy to help process life's difficulties. There are underlying themes of grief, loss, emotionally distant parents and a whole lot of healthy processing of emotions and humor.
And Scotish accents...
And a highland cow named Seamas...
I love that Pepper always peppers her books with literary, musical, theater, and pop culture references. In particular, there are a couple shout outs to Jaime Jo Wright which I loved seeing! And a hat tip to Skymar. #chime
Pun added intentionally in homage to Katie Campbell who would 100% approve.

I received a complimentary copy of the e-arc from Thomas Nelson and Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

This was one of the (if not, the) most heartwarming and sweet romance books I've ever read.

Thank you Netgalley and Thomas Nelson Books for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

In this book we follow Katie, also known as "Miss Adventure", who is a travel writer and Graeme, a stoic Scotsman, who will be referred to (by Katie on her blog) as "the hot Scot".
Katie is a clumsy, funny and witty person and has a hard time settling down, while Graeme is more serious and has no plan to leave his town. They met in the Craighill House, where is happening a three-week Edwardian experience, and soon they find out how different they are, but maybe they are not so different after all.

The romance was incredibly good, well-developed and heartwarming. It wasn't rushed nor too slow. It was perfectly paced and we fall in love with them while they fall in love with each other.

SPOILER
Katie's relationship with her mother was very hard to read because I related to a few things. However, the scene when Katie finally tell herself she's not responsible for her mother's behavior was refreshing to read, because it helped me see myself in that situation and stop blaming myself or trying to fix her behavior.
END OF THE SPOILER

Graeme's family dynamics were so fun to read, it made me want to have the same thing, (SPOILER) I totally understand why Katie ran away when she experienced that, because honestly, girl? same. I probably would have freaked out too. (END OF THE SPOILER)

English isn't my first language and reading Scottish words/slangs was a challenge for me but as I read, I got used to it and it wasn't a problem anymore.

Christian romance books were the best discovery ever, everything is so cozy and adorable. Also, Pepper Basham's writing is satisfactory, I couldn't stop reading it.

Highly recommend it.

A fun and wholesome romance with an amazing setting. My only complaint is that I felt like there were some loose ends left untied! I wanted to know what happened with parts of the plot. Overall, I had alot of fun with this book and will be looking for more from this author in the future!

absolutely adore Pepper Basham's books as they provide laughter, romance, and faith elements. I enjoyed how it took place in Scotland and how Katie and Graeme grew throughout this story. Katie, a traveling writer, finds more than just material for her next article when she heads to Scotland. This is a story of navigating loss and grief, of self discovery and belonging, and of taking a leap for the right person you love.

I absolutely love the cover of Some Like It Scot—it’s so lovely and really captures the warm, fun, and romantic vibe of the story inside! This is the first book I’ve read by Pepper Basham, but it definitely won’t be my last! The gorgeous Scottish setting and the mix of romance, humor, and self-discovery totally hooked me from the start. The way Basham paints the beauty of Scotland made me feel like I was right there with Katie, exploring the misty hills and sipping tea in a cozy cottage.

Katie Campbell’s journey is both hilarious and heartfelt. As a travel writer with a knack for finding herself in misadventures, she’s not only searching for new stories but for a place to call home. Enter Graeme, the brooding, yet surprisingly sweet Scotsman who’s stuck between being the grumpy man of the house and the gentle caretaker of his family. Their chemistry? Great! Their banter? Even better. And the romance? Absolutely swoon-worthy. There were so many moments when I laughed, teared up, and couldn't put the book down. I loved how Katie and Graeme helped each other heal from their pasts, discovering that sometimes the best way to find home is by opening your heart to love and change.

This book is so much more than just a rom-com. It’s about finding yourself, healing from loss, and realizing that "home" is more than just a place—it’s the people you’re with. Whether you’re a fan of swoon-worthy moments or stories of personal growth, Some Like It Scot will absolutely leave you feeling all the feels. I can’t wait for more books from this quirky, heartwarming world!

I had such a fun time reading this! As someone who has always wanted to visit Scotland, anytime I see a book set in Scotland I feel the absolute need to read it. The chemistry between Katie and Graeme was phenomenal and made this such an enjoyable read to the point that I forgot about the world around me and just blew through the book. Can't wait to recommend this to all of my friends!

i absolutely devoured that insanely cute and swoon worthy story. it seriously never disappointed once, the entire thing was a perfect balance of plot, romance and trope that hooked me from the get go and lured me in with every chapter.

Cute romance read (clean) with lots of mishaps for Katie.

Katie is a travel blogger/writer who has been everywhere, but nowhere really has ever felt like home. And honestly, nowhere has ever really filled that hole in her heart (or person). Until Scotland.

Graeme, what a guy. The banter, the wit, the stories. The old ladies in town. This book had it all, all in the little island of Mull.

Prepare to laugh, have your emotions pulled in every which way, and also be ready to make your own and have your emotions pulled in every which way.

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Publishing for my ARC.

A new Pepper Basham book? Yes, please! In Some Like It Scot, there is the same blend of humor and heart that I have come to expect from Pepper, but her writing is as fresh and real as if it were her first novel. Katie comes across as the real girl that most of us are—her figure is not perfect, she’s a bit clumsy, and she feels as if she doesn’t fit in her place. And yet she fits so well in this story and with these people. She is a watergaw, a word she learns in Scotland for a broken, beautiful rainbow. And Graeme? Well, you need to meet him for yourself. Better get reading.

I LOVED this cover, the story, the characters--ALL of it!!! I liked that Katie was 6ft tall and trouble always seemed to find her. I enjoyed her authentic budding friendships with everyone she met and her sweet but fun personality. And who wouldn't fall for a gruff exterior Scotsman? I think all the parts of this story just worked together beautifully. The scenery and dialectal dialogue seamlessly dropped me right in the middle of Scotland. I have read this author multiple times before and will continue to do so!

You’re sure to enjoy this opposites attract story as writer/ social influencer Katie Campbell is on assignment in beautiful Scotland. Katie likes traveling around the world, but could her adventures be avoiding some painful things in her life? Graeme loves his homeland and is invested in restoring his family’s ancestral abode. Could he also be avoiding his past by holding onto things that are familiar?

I loved Graeme and his gruff exterior that protected his loving and sensitive heart. Katie was in need of rescuing several times and earned the name Miss Adventure quite easily. You are sure to laugh at the scrapes she finds herself in throughout the book. Graeme had a full time job just making sure she was safe!

Things to love:
meet cute
humor and puns
kilts
funny monikers
Graeme’s family
Book club grannies
Highland games

Favorite quotes:
“Love lingers long.”

“No matter where you run or how fast or far, you’ll never outrun your own heart.”

I highly recommend reading this book. I received a copy of the book from the publisher and NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own with no obligation to write a positive review.

For a romance book, I felt like the main characters spent zero time together. I got to meet everyone else and honestly was having such a hard time keeping track of the different threads and people.

I liked the concept, but the book was equally slow and busy

If you're looking for a light hearted beach read, Some Like it Scot is definitely it! Pepper Basham keeps this book just the right side of spicey and romantic, making it a great book!
