I loved the setting of Scotland, and the mystery of Addie's mom's life that was the underpinning of the storyline. Both main characters were wonderful.

This was a cute / light-hearted read! I didn't really find myself rooting for the characters or their relationship -- but loved the backdrop of the Scottish Highlands and cities like Edinburgh highlighted in the story. A perfect read for someone who wants to get lost exploring Scotland.

If you weren’t already swept away by the idea of traveling to Scotland, Kilt Trip will have you obsessed with its idyllic prose. Alexandra Kiley’s debut romcom will have you laughing at these enemies to lovers. The characters feel real and capture your attention with their witty banter. I found myself connecting with Addie’s grief and the tension between her and Logan. I loved every minute of Kilt Trip and look forward to reading more by Alexandra Kiley in the future.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Harper Collins for the ARC!

I wanted to love it but it fell a bit flat for me. I enjoyed it, but I wasn't giddy about it, and felt no particular connection to the characters. Addie comes off a bit spoiled and haughty, like she's too good to need other people and that got annoying fast. Logan was a sweetheart but a bit too into her too quickly, wanting her to move to his country after 2 weeks of knowing each other...a bit insta-love-y for my tastes. Still, an enjoyable romcom, fans of Outlander might enjoy it more than most, with the beautiful Edinburg setting and man in a kilt.

I was not prepared for the sucker punch to the heart that was this book.

“Sometimes we find a place we’ve never been before, but it feels like coming home.”

The book is called Kilt Trip by Alexandra Kiley.

Addie Macrae works for a travel consultancy. She flies to Scotland to help revamp a tour business called The Heart Of The Highlands. Before introducing herself to the tour company, she goes on one of their tours under the radar to observe. That’s where she meets Logan the tour guide…

After the tour… there’s a small spark between the two and they grab dinner and drinks at the pub.

The next day, when she gets to the tour companies office… she finds out the company is owned by Logan’s father… and Logan realizes that Addie lied about who she is to observe the tour.

And so ensues a hilarious book filled with banter, Kilts, and a whole lot of heart.

The stakes in this book are fairly low. This is the perfect book for someone who is riddled with anxiety and sometimes needs the stakes to be a little easier. Settle that anxiety a bit and read something that will not only comfort you, but heal you in the process.

There’s a nice build up of tension between these two that’s delicious and only slightly agonizing.

Most books have romance and spice but they’re kind of separate. Here… they come together. And it’s… unbelievable.

This book was grief, longing, and loneliness. And then… it eventually wraps you in a warm comforting blanket and you feel a hint of magic in the air in the highlands.

This book is peace. It’s calm. It gives you the opportunity for space to figure life out. It steadies you. Grounds you. It gives you the time to process pain. And then it hugs you and makes you feel whole again.

“Life is a collection of small moments. Never stop searching for the ones that take your breath away.”

As much as this is a love story. It also feels like a love letter to Scotland. It’s steeped in history and exploration, and it makes your heart ache with longing to step into the highlands… feel the grass in the breeze, and pet a hairy cow 😂

I love smut just as much as the next girl. But there’s something special about tasteful spice. It’s not the main story. It’s not even half of it. It just connects the tender love to a point that makes your heart burst. The spice was so connective and so intimate I had to set the book down to take some deep breaths. It was overwhelmingly romantic.

This book is slightly enemies to lovers, he falls first, Scotland, kilts, romance, yearning, passion, craving, solid, and safe.

“For a chance to be loved fully it’s worth it to risk your heart.”

Something about this just didn’t work for me. Maybe all the lying to each other or Addie’s terrible attitude with people. The spicy scenes were ok but the side characters didn’t work well at all. Addie’s “friends” seemed terrible to her and her father was just brought up a few times in passing with a weird ending

"Kilt Trip" is the Alexandra Kiley's debut novel, which has a cute storyline and adorable cover which caught my attention. In "Kilt Trip", Addie is a world class traveler whose job is to evaluate various travel destinations and their local offerings. Her most recent assignment takes her to the Scottish Highlands to determine whether a family-run tour agency is as profitable as it could be. And of course, there's a sexy Scottish man in a kilt (Logan) who runs these local tours. At first, Logan is quite unhappy about Addie's involvement in his company, but he can't deny his attraction to her. And the more time they spend together, the more the sparks fly!

I enjoyed hearing all the specifics about the Scottish Highlands and it felt like I was there in person. I also liked Addie's side quest to discover more about her late mother who had visited Scotland years before. I thought this was a cute book, but could use a little editing. Overall, it was a good first book! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

This book was so magical! The scenery and history transported me straight to Scotland and I fell in love. I typically don’t like slow burn romances, but this story was entertaining enough that I didn’t feel like I needed the romance for it to be worth reading (though Addie and Logan are literally everything!). The characters are all perfect and the travel consultant and tour guide dynamic is so fun. I loved this!

On the surface, this is a fun, silly romp of a book, but there is a deeper thread, one of longing for days gone by, and the loss of beloved family.

Addie's mission is to go to Scotland, and consult with a tourism company that has seen better days. The owner's son, Logan, is firmly opposed to any changes, and sparks fly whenever the two of them interact. The trouble with sparks is that sometimes they ignite, even when you don't want them to, and of course, fire!!

There's a soft side to Logan as well, and Addie manages to finally reveal it. Their relationship was fun to experience. And of course let's not forget the wonderful scenery of Scotland. I've been there myself, and this book made me long to return.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

From the minute I saw the name and the cover I knew I wanted to read this book. Kilt Trip? Sign me up.

Addie a consultant for travel tours? Something I didn’t know existed but I’m dying from envy of her dream job. Her next project is making a tour company in Scotland profitable. Which seems a little easier when she meets the tall, kilt wearing Scotsman running the tour.

Logan, the aforementioned Scotsmen is instantly drawn to Addie. Because duh, this is a romance novel and we all dream we would meet a hunky tour guide who instantly falls in love with us. He’s none to pleased by her tourist deception and not really interested in the ideas she has to make the tours turn a profit. He hopes that by taking her on a tour to connect with her past he can make her fall in love with Scotland.

But can our jet setting, world traveling Addie fall in love with not just Scotland, but Logan also?

Thank you HTP, NetGalley and Canary Press for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you so much to Alexandra Kiley and Harlequin Trade Publishing, Canary Street Press for the eARC to review. This book was a great quick and easy read for me. I love any books that deal with Scotland and Ireland. I loved reading about Addie and Logan's story. I cannot wait to read more by Alexandra,

I am OBSESSED. Addie is independent, loves to travel, and doesn't need anyone else in her life. Logan loves to show people Scotland and has a soft side for a certain woman (Addie hehe) who is trying to help improve the family company. I am going to recommend this book to everyone!

Such a sweet book......I absolutely fell in love with the main characters and their journey together. Highly recommend....and now I want to book a trip to Scotland myself!

One thing you need to know about me is that I will fall in love with any story set in Scotland. This was no exception. I loved Addie and Logan and felt the tug in my heart that makes me want to uproot my life and go to Scotland every time I hear or see anything about it. This was such a lovely story.

I want to start off saying that I enjoyed the Scotland and traveling aspect of this story. The detail was amazing and made me want to hop on a plane to visit.

I struggled connecting with the main characters a majority of the time. I kept rooting for Addie and Logan but I just never got the urge of wanting to read more. I definitely felt as if there was a lack of chemistry between them.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Kilt Trip follows the work/ life balance of Addie as she throws herself in another business consulting job. Addie travels to Scotland to help out a family business looking to revamp their tours. She meets Logan, a tour guide and son of the business owner. Logan, although angered by the fact his father felt the need to bring in a consultant, set his sights and proving his way is the best. Of course they fell for each other and inevitably Addie was tasked with another company in a different country. Logan and Addie agree that Scotland will be home and they continue their lives together.

This was a cute little book that will make you fall in love with Scotland.

Kilt Trip follows Addie, who is a travel consultant. She goes all around the world helping companies become better suited to serve tourists. She travels to Edinburgh to help a family save their tour company, which is how she meets Logan.

Logan is the son of the company owner, and does not want anything to change. He did not want to hire Addie and will not accept any of her suggestions.

Through the prolonged close proximity, Logan and Addie begin to get to know each other better. She is grieving not only from the death of her mother, but she also lost her dad in his own grief. Logan helps her find peace with that grief.

This was a very sweet book and it was your typical enemies to lovers. The slow crumbling of walls as they become closer, the eventual decision that it’s a ‘for now’ relationship, then the heartbreak of when they have to separate.

I enjoyed it overall, especially the setting. Their banter was really funny and the moments of spice were great.

Thank you so much to the Alexandra Kiley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for allowing me to read an ARC of this novel.

Unfortunately I DNF this novel -- which was a difficult decision. It wasn't that I didn't like the writing, but by chapter 10, I still didn't feel any chemistry between the MC's. With the lack of chemistry, the cliche tropes just fell flat for me. Addie's memories of her mother were sweet but really pulled me out of the story and the pacing was just a little too slow for me. The descriptions of Scotland were lovely but also just a little bit too much and I think this also affected the pacing a bit.

A loving tribute to Scotland (and romance thwarting the odds)🏞🚌

Although it took me a while to warm to Addie, the travel consultant female lead who has long-unresolved emotional issues stemming from her mother's death, one thing is certain: this author adores Scotland and wanted to pass her love for its people, places, traditions and folklore along to her readers. With me she definitely succeeded. The romance, which gets quite steamy at times, was nothing if not enhanced by the imagery of the setting and the local characters she created, right down to a pert Highland 'coo' and the vigilant site security guards who interrupted budding hanky panky on more than one occasion!😉

Logan, the male lead, was a good mix of grump, heart stopping romantic and prankster who incorporated shades of Jim Halpert, my favorite character from the American version of The Office. For his sake, I wanted their romance to pan out.

There were parts of the story that seemed to drag but, on the whole, I found Kilt Trip a good mix of romance, family drama and travelogue. The confession scene in the climax was particularly moving and the ending resolution all I could have hoped for.

Thanks to Harlequin Trade, Canary Street Press and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

My husband and I lived in England for a few years and we frequently visited Scotland. This book made me miss it so much! I loved that I recognized places I’ve actually visited, and I laughed so hard at the sheep in the road, because nearly the same thing happened to us when we were driving in the Highlands. The entire time I was reading the book I just wanted to hop on a plane to Scotland!

It’s hard for me to review this one because it made me feel so much, but I was bored throughout the middle. I loved the beginning and the ending, but the middle dragged for me.
