The Highlanders strapping young nephew has come looking for his uncle... Alasdair Blackmoor has never seen a place as friendly as this small Georgia townor a girl as brilliant and beguiling as Izzy. Instead of saving his uncle, who seems to be having a lovely time, Alasdair decides hed rather help Izzy with the Highland Games. Show her how to dance like a Highlander. Drink like a Highlander. And maybe, just maybe, fall in love with a Highlander. But when the games are over, where do they go from here? Laura Trentham creates a romance that is both extremely sensual and phenomenal.

Ugh I suck at not buying more books. Checked out a new store today, recycled reading type place. #noshelfcontrol #booknerd

Soubhiville Used books don‘t count (?🤣). I love used books though. Try not to feel guilty. They need someone to love them. 4y
AmyK1 @Soubhiville I like your logic 😂 4y

This was a fun AND funny romp, a little above average in the rom-com category, in my opinion.

Izzy is a 27 yo accountant, living at home with her widowed mom. Since her father‘s death (she was 17), she has sacrificed her own dreams (travel, her college major, focusing on writing) to help her mom carry on a tradition begun by her father, the annual Scottish Highland Games in Highland, GA. 🔽🔽

robinb She meets Alastair, half Scottish/half English, and while she‘s a bit suspicious of his motives (which causes trouble later), is instantly attracted to him and drawn to their commonalities.

I actually adored Alistair‘s character. He‘s protective and earnest in trying to help others while also wrestling with what he wants out of his own life. 🔽🔽

robinb Izzy is a bit of a klutz, and often has no filter between her thoughts and what comes out of her mouth...a bit tiresome at times. But there‘s good chemistry here, and their humor is spot on.
Looks like the start of a series, and I‘d be happy to read the next one. 4/5⭐️
