Not Quite A Scot ended this series on a very high note; having all three friend reunited was wonderful as were their plans for the future. ~ Slick, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
McKenzie Taylor is high maintenance when it comes to fashion, but when it comes to travel, the socialite prefers privacy to parties, and her own space to hotels. After she and her friends arrive in Scotland and split up to pursue their own adventures, she rents a small cottage on the Isle of. On day two, she crashes her rental car. But a hero emerges from the mist to rescue her. He’s handsome, earthy, funny, and before long is making her feel desirable, not mention desirous. There’s just one problem: McKenzie’s Highland dreamboat is a motorcycle riding American.
Finley Craig knows his cute new tourist friend is stubbornly set on falling for a Scotsman. But he’s just as set on her falling for him. So he plans to give her a taste of what she thinks she wants. Because Finley suspects McKenzie isn’t as shallow as she appears. And in the process of surrounding her with his hand-picked suitors, she may just decide that American-made is best—especially when she and Finley are rained in together over one long, delicious, and very adventurous weekend…
ARC provided with no expectations
I’ve loved this series about three friends traveling to Scotland in search of their own Jamie Fraser ala Outlander and Not Quite A Scot was the perfect ending. In the first two books we’ve watched two of the three find and fall in love with a Scotsman, but life has something else in store for the last of the three friends. At times a bit frustrating, at times funny and at other times so very, very sexy I loved Not Quite A Scot.
McKenzie Taylor wanted nothing more than to give her friends an adventure of a lifetime and their love of Outlander gave her the perfect opportunity. As much as McKenzie wants to find love, this trip is also about finding herself, finding her passion, and learning to live outside her comfort zone. So many times she questioned their need to split up, but she knew that in order to really find herself, she had to strike out on her own. When she crashes her rental car trying to dodge some wildlife she is rescued by a somewhat crabby man and although she finds Finley Craig attractive, she doesn’t care for his demeanor or the way he instantly pegs her as high maintenance and trouble.
McKenzie and Finley don’t get off on the right foot and through a comedy of errors end up having to spend more time together than either one expected. The attraction between them was evident despite his closed off nature and her wariness, but as they share their pasts they both begin to see each other in a different light. I really enjoyed watching these two figure out every little thing that made the other special and they both manage to purge some of the hurt they’d both been hanging on to. There was a bit of a twist to the story I wasn’t expecting, but I was glad there was closure to that piece of the story.
Not Quite A Scot ended this series on a very high note; having all three friend reunited was wonderful as were their plans for the future. Every story in this series was sweet, fun and sexy and I’m so glad I took a chance on it.
I definitely need to read this series. Thanks for the review Slick
