My Review!

Sweet & Fun!

This was a sweet and fun romance. The Buchanan’s have been hosting the Highland Fair every summer on their property, Stonehaven in Highland Georgia as long as Isabel could remember. Since her father’s death it was her mother and Isabel’s duty to organize it. So when her mother Rose travelled to Scotland to get ideas for the fair, Isabel never imagined that she would return home with a six foot highlander, Gareth Connors.

Alastair Blackmoor, was on his way to check up on his Uncle Gareth, on his Mum’s request. She was worried that an American was trying to take advantage of him and cheat Alastair out of his birthright. But what Alastair found instead was that the woman Gareth came home with, didn’t even know he was an Earl. So Alastair stays in town and looks into the Buchanan’s finances under the pretense of helping Isabel with the Highland Fair. But he soon finds that he is becoming quite taken by the beautiful, sassy and quirky Isabel.

So grab a copy and read this double romance. Full of kilt wearing men, sexy accents and romance that will linger forever in your heart.

My Review

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Exceptional!

This story was an emotional journey, about life, loss, grief, forgiveness, survival, friendship, community, courage and love. Beautifully written, this story captured my attention from the beginning to the end. Written in present and past times, that was effortless to read, and helped tell such a thorough and captivating story.

Harper Lee Wilcox lost her husband five years ago, but she is still grieving. She has been living with her mother and her son, Ben, who was born shortly after her husband died. When she receives a letter from her friend Allison, whose husband is having difficulty adjusting to his past deployment and exhibiting sign of P.T.S.D., she goes to visit them to see if she can help in any way. She finds her friends are stressed, and barely holding it together for their three young children. While she is there Allison and her attend a meeting on base with other military wives, that help both of them in their struggles. Harper has been trying to think of how she could start a secret memorial of some kind in memory for her husband, and was going to use the money she received from a Bravery Award. Now after meeting with these wives she has an idea, but after finding out that the award wasn’t real she needs to confront his best friend. Harper goes to look for a friend of her husband’s, to see if he can help Allison’s husband deal with his PTSD and also to give her answers that she has about her husband’s death and the award.

Bennett Caldwell left the Seals after Harper’s husband died and is now running a Survival School. He refuses to tell Harper how her husband died, and why he had given her money and a fake Bravery award in her husband’s name. But he will not take the money back, but will help her with her idea to help with a project of a coffee house on the base. He does agree to help Allison’s husband. These two are attracted to one another, and although they had never met before Noah’s death, Bennett had been attracted to her from her letters she wrote to Noah. Now these two will need to work together. What will happen between them? Will Bennett tell her what happened when Noah died? You will definitely want to read this story to find out all the details.
