So, this was an advanced reader copy and the title hooked me before I even opened the cover (of my kindle). I really enjoyed the banter, the growth, and the development of the characters in this novel. I loved the descriptions and the setting. Scotland is life, so that’s an easy win for me. I will add that this is a pretty spicy book - romance wise - so I would use caution if you’re not into that sorta thing.

I'd definitely be interested in reading more books by the author and always grateful for a chance at a book before it hits the shelves.

Such a fun read! Logan and Addie are well developed characters and I loved how the story featured so much of Scotland. I felt inspired to travel there after reading this!

This novel made me miss Scotland so badly. A sweet family Scottish story.

And I LOVE the Joules boots featured in the cover illustration.

I wanted to like this so badly it just was not for me. The pacing at the beginning was very slow, the dialogue felt overwritten and the chemistry between Addie and Logan seemed very forced. There was clearly a lot of time spent discerning the setting instead of building the character depth. This was okay not great.

4.5 stars and rounded up. ✨
Gosh, this was such a sweet and beautiful “lost and found” story. Addie has been lost since her mother’s death and uses travel and her job as a way to build walls and not relationships. That changes on a work trip to Edinburgh. With the help of old photos of her mother and tour guide Logan, she finds herself and love. The growth that Addie makes is beautiful to read. I hated the 3rd act break up (sorry, spoiler alert…but in romances we do expect them) but this one seemed so on point for the characters that I didn’t hate it as much as the random ones. Would absolutely recommend this book to anyone. Extra recommendation points if they have a love of Scotland!

A heartwarming enemies to lovers romance, with a little bit of grumpy/sunshine. I enjoyed it, but have also seen something like it before. It's cute, it's fun, but it's lacking the heat and chemistry to make me love it as much as a Tessa Bailey or Christina Lauren or Sarah Adams. I did like the male lead's family and how they swept her in and welcomed her.

Addie McRae is a travel consultant in an up-and-coming firm traveling Luke, doesn't think things need to change. So begins the butting of the heads and they eventually end up finding in each other that person who will always be there for them and have their backs. This of course does have miscommunications and some stumbles along the way to their happily ever after.

There is family drama that both are dealing with and trying to handle alone. The secondary characters were so well written, and I enjoyed them as much as our heroine/hero.

The descriptions of the places in Scottland were beautiful and the history just make you want to get on a plane and go there yourself.

I received this advance ebook from NetGalley. I really tried to like Kilt Trip, but there was something about it that I just couldn't get into. The characters were difficult to relate to, and oftentimes, I just wanted to be done with the book. I enjoyed hearing about Scotland, but that's the only positive aspect for me about this book.

This was adorable, and sure to win the hearts of any readers who love - in any order or any combination - Scotland, rom-coms, friendships, family dynamics, traveling, feisty female characters, and solid-yet-soft male characters, among many other characteristics. Kiley does a beautiful job at bringing Scotland to life through vivid and carefully-crafted description; while many expected pieces of rom-coms and preconceived notions about Scotland make appearances, it is to play to expectations while quietly also debunking some of them. The whole book honestly just felt like a delightful little hug, and I very much enjoyed my time with Addie, Logan, and the gang. (I'd especially love to spend more time with Logan's effervescent and cuddly mom, Gemma.)

Kilt Trip is a very Hallmark-esque romance that reads like you would watch a cheesy holiday romance, with its predictable turns and ending. There is a little bit of enemies-to-lovers going on in this story, but is heavier on the "lovers" side. This is the story of two people from two very different places who fall in love in Scotland. Within weeks of knowing each other, they are already making plans to live together happily-ever-after, forgetting they each have lives in different continents. Personal note: Vacation romance is not sustainable!

I may be a bit too critical, though. The whole "girl abroad meets hot Scottish man in kilt" is not my trope! However, if men in kilts are your thing, or if you're looking for a light, cheesy romance, this may be a good book for you! Unfortunately, it seems that I am more into intense, cry-your-eyes-out romance stories.

🙏 Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the gifted electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love a good Scottish romance. Addie works as a travel consultant. Logan's family owns a tour company. Addie is sent there to assist with improvements to the tour company.

Addie and Logan were great, solo and together. Logan's family - I adored. The banter was fun.

I thought Addie dealing with the grief of losing her mom years before was well done.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

sweet and hot and packed with feeling. a beautiful love letter to Scotland. I loved Addie's emotional development and her chemistry with Logan. her memories of her mom were so tangible. Logan helping her connect them to the present was a wonderful way for them to learn more about one another.

It took me a while to get into this book, but it finally got me interested about halfway through after taking a break from it. I loved Logan’s character, but I was always waiting for Addie’s POV to be over. Her constant indecisiveness got very old at every conflict. I was very confused by her referring to her parents by their first name without an explanation why she was doing that. They kept feeling like characters they forgot to introduce. Overall, I still gave this book 4 stars because it did make me want to visit Scotland and go on a tour ran by a man in a kilt.

Slow, cute, and sweet.

Addie is a travel consult visiting Scotland for the first time. She has familial connection to the beautiful land, but has never been able to visit until now. Unfortunately this trip is not just for pleasure. She’s been hired by a tour company to make their business better, but her first mistake is pretending to be someone else while spying on the tour. She immediately vibes with the tour guide but is shocked to later find out that he’s the son of the owner. AKA the man who’s going to inherit the business she’s being paid to change. Although her intentions were pure, it starts things off on the wrong foot.

Logan is NOT happy to find out she lied about who she is, and would rather pack her onto a plane himself. He thinks there’s no way someone who’s not from the area can determine was makes a good tour. But Addie is determined to prove him wrong. She’ll have to convince him that her ideas are worth listening to, and he’ll have to show her that not everything needs to be changed for the business to grow.

They embark on another tour together and sparks slowly ignite between these two as they go head to head in this book. Of course the trip doesn’t necessarily go as planned and it leads to quite the adventure. It was so fun watching these to learn how to meet in the middle.

It plays out very much like a Hallmark movie. Meaning, it’s ooey gooey and sweet in all the best ways. It’s very atmospheric and slow. It made me nostalgic for a place I’ve never been. This book is perfect if you’re interested in travel. It was clear that a lot of research and care went into getting the details right. It made me want to jump on a plane to see these sights for myself.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the copy of this arc! It was a pleasure to review

When I first opened this book and saw that it was written in third person I was like... ugh. However, the story was so good that I was able to forgive the author for this. :)

I really liked this book. The characters were likeable with realistic personalities and baggage. I enjoyed the alternating POV -- however, because it was written in third person, it sometimes took a few paragraphs to tell who the chapter was about. The chapters were numbered, with no indication of whose thoughts we'd be seeing. I wish the author had also added the character's name to the chapter headings.

There are so many things to love about this book. Addie's desire to feel closer to her deceased mother, Logan's reluctance to change much about the business because of past personal experiences, and the slow burn tension!! YEOOOW!

This book would have been a 5 star for me if it had been written in first person. I'll definitely be reading more from this author.

This story was super cute! Addie is a travel consultant who has been hired to help a Scottish Tour company improve their business. On her first day in Scotland she books one of their tours under a pseudonym. Sparks fly between her and the tour guide, Logan, but she figures lying about her identity is harmless, until the next day where she discovers that he is actually the son of the business owner who is posed to take everything over. Those initial sparks turn to animosity as Logan fights Addie and all her ideas to modernize the business. The two finally make a deal. They will each plan a tour route and keep an open mind. As the duo spends more time together that initial attraction comes back in full force. Addie is always on the move for work and Logan loves the Highlands, which could very well spell disaster for any relationship they try to start.

Addie is a travel consultant sent to rework Heart's tours in Scotland, but Logan wants to keep the tours the way they are. Logan sees the magic a folklore deeply rooted in Scotland and wants to show Addie and everyone why the tours should stay special. Through lots of trial and error they both start to see a different possibility as they open their hearts to each other. Filled with so much wanderlust this is a romance about opening your heart to love but also Scotland. I think I was falling in love with Scotland as Addie & Logan were falling for each other.

Charming! This read like an open door Hallmark movie and I loved it. I’m always down for a romance set abroad. This was an easy book to fall for, and I would highly recommend for anyone who is a fan of a Scottish leading man (AKA everyone) and a fun romance full of heart. Addie was an easy heroine to root for, I loved her progression.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

For fans of grumpy/sunshine and Outlander, this is the romance for you!! Addie is a travel consultant given a job to help with a run-down family touring company in Scotland that is losing money rapidly. When scouting the company’s tour, she meets Logan, the grumpy co-owner of the touring company who isn’t willing to change anything about his tours to make them more profitable…

Kilt Trip was an enjoyable novel set in Scotland. It reminded me of a Hallmark movie, fun to watch but not much to remember it by. Overall, a good read just not remarkable.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the free digital ARC in exchange for this unbiased review!
