My review:
Bonnie and Dakota are both looking for a change at this point in their lives, so when they see an ad to move to Scotland for 6 months they jump at the opportunity.
Rowan, or Kilty McGrumpyShire, is the town handyman and grump. He’s the sweetest grump though, once you get to know him. I didn’t care for him for a minute towards the end there, but I suppose it was understandable. His hobby is adorable.
The chemistry between these two just oozes off the pages. Their banter is perfect.
Every character was lovable, even Fergus. The comradery between Bonnie/Dakota and Rowan/Isla/Leith/Lachlan were #friendshipgoals. And I’m wondering if the twins really do have some videos I could watch. 🤣
Overall, a cute and fun read and I need butteries in my life, and cherry chocolate cake and Dundee cake and I might as well have some shortbread while I am at it.
Perhaps I’ve been living under the boaby stone because I’m not quite sure why this is my first time reading Meghan Quinn‘s work, but it most certainly will not be my last!

Save on The Highland Fling at Booksamillion.com.Book blurb:
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?
