I loved this audiobook so much! I laughed, I cried, I swooned! The story is cozy & flows nicely. The narrator’s did an amazing job with their cadence & accents! I will recommend this audiobook to everyone interested!

The scenery in this is stunningly described and every time something new is described I just wanted to hop on a plane and visit.
The characters and story are okay, not fantastic, but not crap either.
Just kind of average.
Still a decent read, and the townsfolk are fabulous side characters.
Thank you NetGalley & Thomas Nelson and Zondervan Fiction Audio for my ALC.

Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this audiobook for my honest opinion.

This book had potential. I was very excited to listen to this as I love a good Scottish accent. However, nothing pulled me into the story. In times, there was too much detail. Like, what they ate. The characters were so mundane I couldn't connect to any of them.

I have heard good things about this author so I will try another if her books. Maybe this one just wasn't for me.

The narrators did a fantastic job.

Katie Campbell, a travel influencer, takes a three week assignment on the Isle of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland for a three week Edwardian experience. She soon learns Craighill House’s owner is remodeling itself and trying to financially keep it afloat. Enter: the hot Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and Katie’s misadventures.

This story is a wholesome take on the modern fairytale, complete with a ball in the Scottish Highlands at the end. I found Katie’s overthinking a little tiresome and the characters a bit predictable, but ultimately this is a cute story about finding and choosing your people.

I love a good Scottish romance. "Some Like it Scot" is a closed door, dual POV, slow burn romance. Katie is a likeable, American FMC (for the tall girls) and Graham is a family-focused, dreamy, rugged Scotsman - a match made in heaven.

The element of complex family dynamics adds a lot to the plot, setting it apart from other similar novels I’ve read. However, I did find this story to be a bit predictable. Some plot points and character choices were SO alike to other Scottish romances I’ve read - and, unfortunately, that made it a little boring for me at times. The “quirky, American girl meets grumpy Scottish heart throb” trope is beginning to feel a bit too familiar, in my opinion. I would’ve loved a little bit more originality in the major events of the plot! Overall, still a fun and sweet read.

Katie, an American travel blogger of MisAdventures, travels to Scotland to stay at a B&B that provides an immersive Edwardian experience. Katie gets herself into situations with her constant “bad luck”. These situations are amusing and definitely add to the story. While the characters were all fun and entertaining, I did not feel the sparks between Katie and Graeme. It felt forced with no chemistry. Kate falls in love with the town and the people in it. There were a lot of themes going on all at the same time, which made each theme very subtle: grief, love, faith, family and more. This was a slow-burn closed door romance that just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Some Like It Scot by Pepper Basham is witty and charming. It is a clean Christian, not spicy romance book. It is super easy to read and I didn’t want to stop!

Katie Campbell is an American travel writer visiting Scotland. She is visiting there because of the stories from her grandfather. Her next project is to participate in an Edwardian experience. It is at a highlands manor house, Craighill Manor. She is known for her misadventures and creates online material from her travels and misadventures.

Graeme MacKerrow is a grumpy, Scottish man who is working hard to update and keep his ancestral home. His family recently repurchased it. He is busy caring for his nephew and doing a variety of odd jobs to afford those manor repairs.

This is not my first Pepper Basham book and it won’t be my last! The author's not at the end, just makes me appreciate the story even more! Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy. The opinions shared are my own.

I enjoyed the humor and travel aspects of this novel! Katie's misadventures were a hoot. The scenery was well-described and easy to visualize. By the end of the book, I felt there was more to be desired.

This book was the slowest slow burn that ever burned and I mean that in not a great way at all. Katie and Graeme didn’t kiss until the last 20% of the book and it felt as if the relationship wasn’t going to blossom at ALL. Also I had no idea that this book was a Christian book when I asked for the arc and while that knowledge would have helped the talk about religion still came out of left field and is really out of place for me. There was no indication that this book was religious from the synopsis and it felt incredibly misleading. If this is a central ideal that is important for the author and publisher, than it should have been listed as such. Please note that while the Christian values aren’t for me, I still would have rated this book a two star for content, the agonizing slow burn, lack of chemistry from the two main characters, and the performance of the Graeme in the audiobook. I try not to hold performances from the author, but that was truly a horror against Scottish accents.

Thank you NetGalley and Zondervan Fiction Audio for the audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was not aware that this was a highly religious Christian writer. It made the book intolerable I had to give up when I realized what was going on and why the characters were written and acted like they were 13 years old.

The narrators brought the book to life. I have never traveled to Scotland and this book made me want to visit. The main characters and the family dynamic were excellent. This author is a must buy. I will be recommending this book to all of my friends.

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for an opportunity to read this book and provide feedback. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I greatly enjoyed this book. It was fun, full of life, and quirky. There were storylines that include grief, but also showcase the characters healing from it. This is closed-door, sweet romance that any romance reader can enjoy.

The narration was one of the best parts of listening to this book versus reading it. I felt like I was fully invested the setting and as if I knew the characters personally by the end. It took a moment to fully latch onto the accent, but once I was used to it, I was able to speed it up.

Some Like it Scot is a standalone novel by Pepper Basham. The McKerrow family of the Isle of Mull, Scotland has brought the family estate back into their possession, but the expense to purchase it and the further expenses to restore it are immense. To meet these expenses, they have given a short lease to the ultra wealthy Lennox family of England who will be holding authentic three week Edwardian experiences during this time. When the lease is up and the Edwardian experiences are over, the MacKerrow family will complete the transition of the estate to a bed and breakfast.

The first Edwardian experience is by invitation only as the Lennox family invites socialites, influencers, business partners, and travel writers. Katie Campbell, aka Miss Adventure, is both a travel writer and a travel podcaster with a wide audience, making her a much wanted guest. Much of her fame, and her Miss Adventure nickname, comes from her daring travels and the misadventures that seem to accompany her as well as her comedic retelling of the events. Unaccustomed to being in one place for this long, Katie will use her down time to explore the area and see what she can learn about the home of her ancestors.

When the paths of Katie and Graeme MacKerrow literally collide upon her arrival, the stage is set for the adventures that will unravel. This story is told with humor and heart, touching on sensitive topics with care. I very much enjoyed this book and I do recommend it!

This was a fun, rompy romance about a travel writer staying on the Isle of Mull in Scotland. She's there for a three week "Edwardian experience" at an historic manor house. One of the manor's owners, a grumpy Scot, can't seem to stop bumping into her and rescuing her from dangerous situations.

The Edwardian element of this book was fun and lent a little bit of the historic romance tropes to an otherwise modern story. The antagonists were frustrating without making the story too tense and the main characters' explorations of grief were very touching. I did not realize going in that this was a Christian romance, but the mentions of faith were very sweet and it was a very grounding thing for the main characters to have in common.

The dual narration was excellent - particularly Joshua Manning's Scottish accent. I was absolutely looking forward to Graeme's chapters because they were so nice to listen to!

I don't think Pepper can write a book that I don't like. 😄 This book brought her signature fun humor with Katie's misadventures, the sweet people of Glenkirk, and the quirky guests (and animals) at Craighill. It also brought serious topics such as finding where you belong and healing from sibling loss. I loved how God was so naturally woven into the characters' lives as they grew through their struggles. The descriptions in this story were so vivid that I was easily able to picture myself in Scotland with Katie and Graeme. I enjoyed Glenkirk's slower, more relaxed pace as it came through the pages. If you enjoy Christian romcoms with deeper storylines and vibrant characters, I highly recommend you read this book.

I listened to the audio version of this because I just had to hear the Scottish accents, and boy, did the narrators NOT disappoint! I melted the first time Graeme's POV came over my headphones. 😂 They both read with excellent intonation, and they put just the right feelings into each scene. I would definitely listen to other books read by these narrators (as long as they're within my reading preferences)!

Thank you, Thomas Nelson, for providing me with an ALC. All opinions are my own.

***Five Stars***
I just love Stina Nielsen so immediately YES. Based in Scotland? Say less!
Katie is a popular travel pod caster. She loves to travel and doesn't allow any grass to grow under her feet. Known as Miss Adventure.  Katie has now traveled to Scotland to spend time at and review a new adventure. One where she is taken back to the Edwardian Era and gets to live that time for a week. On this trip she meets a very grumpy man. You see where this is going? This is a Christian Romance so nothing spicy happens, but the story is really good and doesn't need it. Even though this is a Christian Romance, I don't really think the God talk comes in until the second half, it was a little weird because it felt abrupt but honestly, it's billed as a Christian Romance so you should expect some God and church talk.

Cute closed door romance with funny banter, with charming anecdotes.
Katie is a world class jink that has the worst luck on her travel adventures. She has made a career as a travel influencer and writes about her misadventures. Graeme, your typical handsome moody Scot that wants to be left alone until he meets Katie. The story does focus on grief and death of a sibling.

This is my first time reading/listening to a book written by Pepper Basham and all I can say is that it won’t be my last. Some Like it Scot starts off with Katie Campbell a travel blogger who is known as Miss Adventure. Her blog became popular because of the failures and situations she finds herself in. Her trip to Scotland to the Craighill House is not an exception. She is there on a 3 week Edwardian holiday organized by Ms. Lennox and her family. With its quirky hostess and guests you get to see how Katie is just a hot mess herself and gets herself in situations that keep you guessing on how she is still alive for one but why knowing her luck she still manages to go on these trips that always end up giving her a run for her money. Graeme is described as a reclusive but as the book progresses you get a different side of him and his family dynamic. Graeme is the grumpy to Katies sunshine. I love how the story incorporated Scottish tales from the eyes of Lachlan Graeme’s nephew. I personally loved those parts in the book and the narrator made it even more special. Some Like it Scot gives you quirky characters but also allows you to see how just leaving the “tale with a little hope” does so much for the heart.
Katies family is completely different then Graemes. Both of them went through a similar loss and the way both families handled it were completely different.
I was lucky enough to get the audio and Joshua Manning & Stina Nielsen did an amazing job bringinging Katie and Graeme to life.
Some like it Scot will give your heart all the warm and fuzzy feels and allow you to see how the adventures of Katie and Graeme lead to a whole new different perspective in life that they both needed.

A travel writer finding herself in Scotland with soul-searching to do, and a rugged, single local man with his own little dose of emotional baggage? Sure, I'm in! Basham has a way with playful banter and a clever turn of phrase, and I enjoyed every bit of it. I like that her characters are not perfect, making everything in life seem easy and attainable. It's much more relatable that they have some flaws, but you're definitely rooting for them. This was a clean, fun romance that put a smile on my face.
The narration was lovely to listen to and I enjoyed the multicast of Joshua Manning and Stina Nielsen. I found it them to portray the back and forth points of view of Graeme and Katie quite well.
Recommended for anyone looking for a refreshing change of pace and a little romance.
Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for this ARC. All opinions are mine.

There was so much about this that was so good! It made me miss Scotland, it captured some of the elements of Scotland that do not translate anywhere outside of that country and the magic that is the countryside and the myths and legends that linger within the society. There is also a Bit of the way history is a living element woven into the culture.
Aside from that, the characters were fun, the psychological/mental health struggles we're well represented and fairly represented- and by that I mean they weren't excuses and they were worked through in a way that is very real. The relationships throughout the book were so fun, The situations were hilarious and unreal and pure comedy. I can't recommend this enough.
