What a delightful grumpy x sunshine romance!

My goal for next year is to read more historical romances and this one is set in Scotland (one of the most beautiful places in the world in my opinion) so I had to give this a read. I am so glad I picked this up. It was so cute and romantic. I really loved the setting, the characters, family dynamics and romance.

Hope and Graham are definitely the grumpy x sunshine trope. These two tried so hard to fight their connection. I enjoyed their relationship and how Graham kept purposefully saying the wrong name for Hope's ex. It was a cute and funny bit. Plus who doesn't like when a man is a bit jealous?

I found the plot interesting and entertaining. Reminded me a bit of Diana Quincy's story The Duke Gets Desperate. So if you enjoyed that, you'll probably like this.

I hope this series continues with the other sisters (which seems to be the case). I liked the sisterhood and the bond they had with Belle. Truly delightful read!

This was an exceptional read. The author pulled you in on the first chapter and let's you ride along with wonderfully written characters. This historical fiction is beautifully written with strong female and male characters.

This is a new series featuring three sisters - Hope, Faith and Grace. They've been summoned to Scotland to live with their great aunt Belle, after their grandmother passed away. Belle is friends with a grumpy neighbor named Graham, who wants his castle back - after his father lost it to Belle over a games of cards 30 years ago.

Belle wills the castle to Hope and says he can get the castle too if he marries Hope. Of course Graham is insulted. But the more time Hope and Graham spend together, the more they can't deny the strong attraction between the two of them.

This is a delicious grumpy sunshine story. You can see them trying not to fall in love... but it's destined to be.

I love it when a character keeps referring to someone by their wrong name. I never get tired of it, it just tickles me! Graham keeps butchering the name of Hope's ex. Belle is a strong, no nonsense personality and they are lucky to have her. The story also starts paving the way for Faith and Grace's stories.
A great start to the series!
