This was definitely a book that kept me on my toes and kept me turning the pages. It was laugh out loud funny and eye rolling until eyes hurt frustrating, but it was hard not to fall in love with not only Bonnie and Rowan, but their friends and the inhabitants of Corsekelly ~ even the furry, four legged ones, and when everything was said and done, wanting to spend much more time in the Highlands with them all.
Bonnie and Rowan definitely took me on a ride, but even with all the eye rolling they induced, I ended up loving them both. Bonnie is vibrant and has no edit button, her insecurities definitely ran roughshod on her many times, but I enjoyed her honesty and how she came into her own. Rowan was a true grumpy-gus, but he came by it honestly. His saving grace was how much he did care about his friends, family and the town in general. So watching as the walls he’d erected around himself started to crumble was a lot of fun.
Their journey to their HEA was an entertaining one. Their “meet cute” wasn’t so cute, but it definitely set the tone of how intense their relationship would end up being. Their bantering, well snark-fests in all honesty, ~ was a lot of fun, the chemistry between them hawt. The ups and downs were many, though that last one was a doozy...and while I would have liked a little more groveling, I cannot deny that I was happy with everything turned out for them in the end.
This was a fun read. I loved the small town vibe and the supporting cast of characters are all ones I’d love to hang out more with. There are some situations that could be a bit intense for some, but are all handled well and give depth to all that is going on with Rowan and Bonnie. So, if you’re feeling like you need a little romance in the Scottish Highlands, then this is a must click for you!

In this steamy tale by USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn, an American searching for her purpose escapes to a Scottish town but finds more questions than answers when she meets a brooding yet handsome handyman.
Freshly fired from her third job in a row, Bonnie St. James has lost her way. So when she and her best friend stumble upon a “help wanted” post to run a coffee shop in the Scottish Highlands, they apply on a whim. Who knows? Maybe traveling to a new place is just what she needs to figure out her next move.
When the friends arrive in the tiny idyllic town of Corsekelly, they instantly fall for the gorgeous Highland landscape and friendly townspeople. But Bonnie finds a less-than-warm welcome in Rowan MacGregor, the rugged local handyman. Busy wrestling his own demons, Rowan’s in no mood to deal with the quirky American—even if she is a bonny lass.
As Bonnie and Rowan’s paths inevitably cross, insults—and sparks—fly. Can the pair build on their similarities to help each other find purpose and direction…and maybe romance too? Or will their passionate tempers fling them apart?
