Fun book. McKenzie and her friends are huge fans of the Outlander books and show and head off to Scotland for a month-long vacation. They plan to go their separate ways when they arrive, each looking for her own adventure - and maybe her own kilted hero. The story opens with the three women on a train bound for Inverness and McKenzie having second thoughts about her plan. However, she buries her qualms and soon finds herself on the road to Skye.

McKenzie's trip gets off to a rough start on her drive to the cottage she rented. While trying to avoid hitting an animal in the road, McKenzie ran the car off into a ditch. Thanks to no bars on her cellphone, she contemplates spending the night in her car when a knight on shining motorcycle shows up to rescue her. Finley is grumpy and sarcastic but takes McKenzie up to her cottage, where she gets a shock. The place is a mess and unlivable as it is. Finley may be a grouch, but he's also a gentleman and offers McKenzie the guest room at his house until hers is cleaned.

I enjoyed watching the relationship between McKenzie and Finley develop. The sparks between them are evident from the start though initially, both resist doing anything about it. Finley's been burned in the past and has shut down his emotions, while McKenzie has a kilt-wearing Scotsman on her mind. As American as she is, Finley doesn't qualify but being a nice guy, he introduces her to some of his friends. I laughed out loud at his "introductions" as it was apparent he wanted her for himself.

I liked seeing Finley and McKenzie get to know each other. Though they might try to deny it, along with the attraction, there was an immediate connection between them. Finley saw past McKenzie's confident exterior to her hidden insecurities. She had trouble believing he could be attracted to her, and he thinks she is beautiful the way she is. It also doesn't take him long to figure out that McKenzie is more interested in finding out who she is beyond the surface that everyone else sees. I loved her joy in her photography and the satisfaction she gets from finding that perfect shot. Turnabout is fair play, and McKenzie sees a hurting man underneath all of the grumbles. She has no problem pushing at him to get him to open up about what drove him away from home. I ached for Finley after he shared his story with McKenzie.

Eventually, those sparks they've been ignoring become too much to resist, and they give in. That adds a whole new layer of complications to their lives. McKenzie gets a little freaked out because she realizes that it would be far too easy to fall in love with Finley, and there's no future in it. Though she has to go back to Atlanta and Finley won't leave Scotland, they still have the rest of her time on Skye. Then an unexpected twist shows McKenzie how deep she already is and sends her running to protect herself. I ached for her as she tried to deal with her broken heart and the hope that he would come after her.

At the end of her stay, it's time to meet up with her friends again for their trip home. Though I haven't read the first two books, I will because Hayley and Willow both showed up with extra baggage, and I want to know more. I loved the ending, as Finley makes an unexpected (to McKenzie) appearance. His big moment was sweet and romantic and just right for the two of them.

I liked the bits of Scottish history and descriptions of Skye that were part of the book. I haven't made it to Skye, but it certainly sounds intriguing. I also learned a fun new Scottish word - carnaptious - which means grumpy, bad-tempered, irritable. I can probably find a use for it somewhere...

Even though Not Quite a Scot is the 3rd book in a series, it can be read fine as a standalone, though I enjoyed it enough to want to read the first two books. McKenzie did get on my nerves a bit (especially her fixation on finding a Scot to love when she had hella fine Finley right there wanting her), but getting to know her better and watching her connect with Finley (forced proximity for the win) was a fun time. 3.5 out of 5 wine glasses.

A cute end to a fun trilogy. Three Americans travel to Scotland to look for their own " Jamie Fraser" type hero. McKenzie may seem shallow to some, but she is not the party girl that she seems. She meets a kind of grumpy Finley at first, but the more they are together, the more they seem to click. He also doesn't fit her Scot ideal because he is an American. This was a sweet and sassy feel good story.

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.
