I loved everything about this book! Light hearted, funny and so well written! What do you do when you have a new budding romance but your soon to be ex husband tries to come after your new home? You find a work around! Cannot wait to read more by this author.

A wonderful read!
This novel drew me in from the very first page and kept me hooked until the end. The characters were vibrant and relatable, the writing was engaging, and the story had just the right balance of heart and humor. Highly recommend!
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Highlands Homecoming is the third and final instalment in a series, all which I have enjoyed reading. It's a cozy romance set primarily in the Scottish Highlands, where Melissa Mackenzie negotiates life and love. I'm a sucker for a Scottish setting and this one drew me in: I need to find a little Scottish cottage too! It's a perfect winter holiday read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Flying Cactus for the advanced reader copy to review!

"Highlands Homecoming" is the third book in the Highlands Christmas series. At the very last minute, Melissa Mackenzie's soon-to-be-ex-husband decides to hold up their divorce long enough to try to get his "fair share" of her Scottish inheritance. And he almost gets away with it! But Melissa's close-knit group of new friends help her protect what's rightfully hers from being plowed under by the developers her ex plans to sell the property to.

If you enjoy easy reads, new romances, found family, and celebrating Robert Burns night in Scotland, you'll enjoy this story.

Thank you to Amy Quick Parrish, Flying Cactus Publishing, and NetGalley for an advance review copy.

I love standalone books that can also be connected to a series! This was a quick and cozy read, and I will definitely be looking at the other books Amy has written!

Highlands Homecoming is a cute short story set during the holiday season that bounces between Scotland and Boston.

I appreciated that the author had a brief summary at the beginning for those of us (myself included) who did not read the first novella. That said, I would actually recommend reading the first story prior to this one, as there were times I felt a bit in the dark about some details.

Perhaps it was because I didn't read the first novella to have all the background information, but the romance between Melissa and Colin seemed to move at an unrealistically fast pace. I know this is supposed to be a lighthearted romance, but it still felt a bit rushed IMO.

My favorite parts of the story involved the tidbits about Scottish culture and history, as well as the lovely description of the Highlands during the winter season. I didn't know anything about Burns Night prior to reading this, and it made the novella more nuanced and interesting to me.

Overall, I would recommend this read if you are looking for a quick & cozy holiday romance with a unique setting! Thank you to NetGalley and Flying Cactus Publishing for an ARC in exchange for my review.

I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this book. I was hooked early one, and I couldn't stop reading. This was such a cute and cozy story! Amy Quick Parrish did an excellent job with the characters and story line. I can't wait to read more from this author. I highly recommend this book to the romance readers.

Thank you Net Galley, Flying Cactus Publishing, and Amy Quick Parrish.

*Highlands Homecoming* by Amy Quick Parrish is a delightful, heartwarming holiday novella that’s both quick to read and thoroughly enjoyable. As the third book in her *Highlands Christmas* and *Highlands New Year* series, it stands beautifully on its own, but if you’re new to the series or need a refresher, Parrish thoughtfully includes links to the first two books, along with quick summaries to bring you up to speed on the characters and their journeys.

What I truly admired about this novella is how Parrish managed to cover so much ground in such a short space without sacrificing depth or emotion. The budding romance between Melissa and Colin is tender and sweet—without any of the heat of spice, yet brimming with genuine connection. The author also does a wonderful job of weaving in Scottish history, culture, and, of course, food. The celebration of Burns Night was a particular highlight, as the characters shared their favorite Robert Burns poems and indulged in a traditional Burns Supper of haggis at the charming MacAlister Inn.

Overall, *Highlands Homecoming* is the perfect cozy read for the holiday season, and I’m eagerly looking forward to more books in Parrish’s *Highlands Christmas* series!

I usually only enjoy novellas when they’re part of a series, bridging the gap between main books. However, this one was an unexpected delight. A big thank you to Amy Quick Parrish and NetGalley for providing the ARC; all opinions are my own.

Knowing this was a novella—just like the previous two—I downloaded books 1 and 2 to make sure I didn’t miss any part of the story. While it’s not strictly necessary, as the author includes a helpful recap of the first two books at the start, I wanted to be thorough. In this installment, Melissa has finally secured her dream home, but her plans are threatened by her conniving ex-husband, who’s determined to claim half of it for himself.

I particularly enjoyed the romantic subplots involving other characters and the swift justice that came for the scheming ex.

However, I did deduct one star because, while the book is a novella, the pacing felt a bit rushed, and I would have appreciated a bit more room for the story to breathe.

I really enjoyed reading Highlands Homecoming by Amy Quick Parrish. It’s a great read full of interesting characters and the antics that they get up to along with mysterious moments. Some twists and turns which makes you wonder what is happening and why they’re doing what they did. An interesting ending

"Highlands Homecoming" was a fun, enjoyable, and super quick holiday story by Amy Quick Parrish. The characters in this book were adorable and I loved them! What a fun Christmas story. I appreciate that the author included a brief synopsis of the previous two books to catch up the reader in case you missed the previous books. Thank you to Net Galley and the author for the advanced copy of this book

Great fun, easy read that I really did enjoy reading. Would definitely recommend. The other two books in the series are just as good and definitely worth the read.

Fun continuation of the series, further development of Melissa and Colin's relationship. I enjoyed the re-appearance of Colin and the final conclusion of their marriage. Looking forward to the next chapters in these characters' lives.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC

Thank you to Amy Quick Parrish, the publisher and NetGalley for giving me access to this book.

Honestly i have to say i didnt love this one.
It felt so tiring to read. The constant she said "", "" She laughed formation of this book was draining.

But the short summary was great to get a preview of the story.
I did try to enjoy the storyline but it felt forced due to the writing style.

This book was a delightful continuation in the lives of these characters! I loved the scottish cultural references.

This is an enjoyable, sweet and quick story. I’m now going to read the first two!!
Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to read this advanced copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Highlands Homecoming by Amy Quick Parrish is the third novella in the Highlands Christmas Romance series. It features all of the same characters as the first two books, I love that because their stories continue and I get to know more about their lives. Even though this is part of a series, you don’t have to have read the first two books as the author gives a synopsis of what previously happened, although I would definitely recommend reading and enjoying them all. This one is a sweet story with a gorgeous setting of the Scottish Highlands that has me all the more excited to visit Scotland sometime soon.

The subtitle “Christmas romance” felt misleading here since this was at Christmas. It was still a fun seasonal winter read, short & sweet.

A quick delightful holiday read that put me in a swoony, cozy Christmas mood. A perfect gift for anyone in an Outlander slump or just any general Scottish enthusiasts.

I enjoyed this book so much! Of course, I'm a sucker for a Scottish romance. When an ex tries to cheat, yes again, but this time by taking her recently inherited Scottish home, Melissa must finally fight for herself with the help of her new boyfriend and a supportive community. It is a beautiful story that will make you book a trip for the Highlands right away.
