Some Like It Scot

SOME LIKE IT SCOT by PEPPER BASHAM is the story of two very different people meeting, someimes in perilous situations due to Katie Campbell’s propensity for misfortune, on the beautiful island of Mull in Scotland. Katie, who is a travel writer, known as Miss Adventure, writes brilliant and hilarious stories for World on a Page, and has been sent by her editor to take part in an Edwardian Experience being held at Craighill House. ……
Katie at six foot one with fiery red hair, quick wit and a lovely sense of humour, meets huge and handsome Scot, Graeme MacKerrow, first of all finding him grumpy when she breaks the bannister he has just repaired and falls over the edge of the stairs landing on top of him!……
I love the characters - the unusual people taking part in the Edwardian Experience, Mirren MacKerrow, and her family, her matchmaking knitting club friends, and of course Katie, Graeme and his nephew Lachlan.
The book is laugh out loud amusing in parts and serious in others as we see two damaged people getting to know one another.
I cannot recommend this beautifully written and heartwarming story highly enough.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson

“Sometimes home is a place. Sometimes it’s a person. Sometimes it’s both.”

It is rare that a story renders me speechless, but I am truly struggling to find the words to sum up all this story meant to me. My only complaint would be having to try to be patient as I wait for the paperback copy to release next year.

I've read over 250 books this year, and THIS one, is now in the number 1 spot!

This review may be a jumbled of mess of ramblings because truthfully I loved the story so much I can't figure out how to put that love on the page. Plus I don't want to give too much away. But here you go anyway...

Katie is a traveling blogger, a pun queen, and a source of what I can only assume is bad luck, that she twists into instant fame. She needs this job here in Scotland for her career but also for her personal growth. She's here for an event but also because it reminds her of her Grandparents, the closest thing she had to a "home." Graeme is the owner of the place where the event is taking place, hes also the contractor making the repairs, the Scottish hero ( you'll see why soon enough), the butler lol, a dance partner, and a man who will change Katie's life... but little does she know that just yet. She literally falls into Graemes grumpy arms and from there they instantly butt heads. But there is a thin line between love and hate... and the more time they spend together those feelings soon morph into something more real!


Everyone's running from something. Sometimes it's a past they can't leave behind, a loss they can't stop grieving, or perhaps BOTH those things are holding you captive until you pray, process, and heal.

When life let's you down enough times you start doubting everything, including God's plan and his goodness and you put walls up to protect your heart and start making your own way in life. But when we shy away from love, settling down, taking that leap... that was never Gods plan. Graeme and Katie have to learn that through their faith in him, and the people he will place in their lives ( like each other) they can step out on faith, take a risk, dare to make plans, and allow time for love.

How Pepper Basham manages to have me laughing one second, crying the next, swooning over a Graeme moment, or at the edge of my seat waiting for all the feels... Idk how she does it! I was on an emotional roller coaster, and I did not want to get off! Lol! You all, I just can't sum up this book is words, there are none. I went in looking for a Scottish romance and boy did I get that. But gosh, it also just spoke to my heart a bit, spoke to my faith, my path in life, healing, growth, and moving on. And gosh the two main characters phew... Graeme is grumpy on the exterior but such a sweet soul on the inside. And Katie is so confident and happy on the outside, but she is second-guessing, insecure, and running away from her situation, scared that if she settles down , life will disappoint her again. Both of them are operating on fear, something their loved ones have been telling them they have been doing. But they don't realize it, until they meet each other....

Can Katie help Graeme to step out of his comfort zone, take some risks, show his talents, plan for more of a future? Can Graeme help Katie accept who she is, remind her she's enough, help her find a new place to call home and perhaps allow him to be her home? All that is only possible through God's power, but perhaps he will work through them, to help the other heal?!

Just for fun....

Some like It Scot is a romantic tale full of witty banter and hilarious mishaps, but the story also delves deep into what it means to find a true home where people love and except you just for who you are. 5 stars!

Travel writer Katie Campbell is a six foot klutz who's traveled to Scotland to write about an authentic Edwardian experience. She manages to find herself in one scrape after, "...misadventures are my stores to tell. And Miss Adventure...is me". Such great wordplay.

Carpenter and wood carver Graeme MacKerrow finds himself constantly thrown into the role of Katie's rescuer hero whether he wants to be or not. Neither is looking for a relationship but somehow that doesn't seem to alter the outcome. Both are perfectly imperfect characters with hurtful histories, yet the pair manage to make me laugh and cry almost simultaneously. They were interesting and quirky and definitely the focus of the story, but I also got a heartful of charm from Graeme's nephew Lachlan. After all, what's not to love about an eight year old saying, "I wager it would take the two of us to help keep you alive..." So cute!

There is a plethora of Scottish words I've never heard, and I loved them all. Such as "Lang may yer lum reek!" which meant "May you live long and prosper!". So much fun all the way through the book.
There were so many meaningful and honest quotes that were so touching and true. A few of my favorites,
*"Sometimes one dream has to bow to another, and that's okay."
*"Love doesna stop when bodies do. It's one of the comforts in losing a loved one, ye ken? The love lingers on."

Author Pepper Basham's stories just keep getting better and better. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy a great inspirational love story with humor and depth. I appreciate Thomas Nelson making a copy of Some Like It Scot available for review. All thoughts and opinions are my very own.

Oh man. WHAT a beautiful book. I absolutely adored this one so much. I went in pretty much blind, and I expected a light, Scottish romcom; instead, I read one of the most thought provoking, faith-oriented, romances ever! This read was so stunning. I love every minute of it! I highly recommend this one!
rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
spice/language: clean!
thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my early and complementary copy of this book!

This is my first Pepper Basham book, and I'm certain it won't be my last! If you like fun Hallmark Christmas movies, you'll love this book. I fell in love with the main character, Katie, and thoroughly enjoyed following her adventures (and mishaps!) as she traveled to Scotland to work on her writing project.

Watching the character growth both from Katie and her Scotsman was a delight. I enjoyed seeing them each work through their own issues, and how working through those issues ended up pulling them closer in the end.

This was a fun read!

"I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

Pepper, this book is fantastic! I loved every minute of it. It was absolutely adorable. I loved the characters and their sweet story.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for granting my request to read this e-ARC and provide my honest opinions.

It has been long since I've felt all the feels of a romantic swoon, and this book filled my heart with a renewed faith in love and what love can do to a person. I kept wishing for this book not to end for me to continue immersing myself in the richness of the love story between Graeme (I pronounce this as "grim" in my head; I hope that is correct 😂) and Katie. These two give a whole different meaning to love, 🥰🥰 and I love it for them.

Katie, the travel writer who does not have roots in any place, meets Graeme, who has a loving family in Mull and is not thinking of going anywhere any time soon.

After meeting our two MCs, I thought that maybe this was just going to be a fling, but alas, with these two, the word fling doesn't quite fit with them.

Another amazing thing I loved about this book was that both of our MCs are creatives and how Graeme did everything he could to support Katie despite all her misadventures.

This review won't be complete if I don't applaud the author for a wonderful job of bringing Scotland and the island of Mull to life. I haven't been to Scotland, but it felt like I was right there with them.

I giggled, I laughed, and I almost cried, and I think I might need a hot Scot who will call me lass.🥰. Now is the time to go through all the books written by Pepper Basham 😩.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Get ready for a book you won't want to put down! I have read many of Basham's books but this one is her best yet! Scotland. Travel. Books. Romance. Humor. Puns. Local lore and legend. SO much heart. Oh my goodness I loved this book! A story is really special if it can make me laugh and cry and feel everything in between. The characters are terrific all the way around. Katie is hilarious and so real to life. Her struggles many will be able to sympathize with and it is so well written. Graeme has so many layers and it was a joy to read his perspective throughout the book. The secondary characters warmed my heart in many ways and I felt like I was in Mull having a cup of tea with them. I laughed so many times! I was worried that Katie would be over the top and the silliness would take me out of the book but nope it just added to the delight. The ending is so much better than I had even hoped! It was realistic and I truly didn't want this to end. We need more books in this quaint village in Scotland. Perhaps Graeme's brothers stories?! In any case. This is one of the best books I have read this year. Very fun and yet keeps you pondering life long after you finish reading the last page.



Five Stars.



"I received this book from NetGalley for free. All opinions are my own and I was not required to write a positive review."

Such a fun book! Loved every minute of it. I love banter, I love romance! If you do and want a bit of Scot then pick it up for sure!

"Some Like It Scot" is a charming romance about Katie, a travel writer prone to misadventures, and Graeme, a reclusive Scotsman tied to his island home. Their unlikely connection blossoms during Katie’s trip to Scotland, where her adventurous spirit clashes with Graeme’s need for stability.

With witty banter, heartwarming moments, and a picturesque Scottish setting, Pepper Basham delivers a fun and sweet love story. It’s a delightful, feel-good read about finding home and love in unexpected places. Perfect for fans of light-hearted romance!

Katie is a travel writer, sharing her adventures or misadventures as it normally works out to be with her social media fans. Her latest assignment is to spend three weeks in Scotland living her very own Downton Abbey Edwardian experience.
I've read stories before about the clumsy girl heading to the Scottish Highlands to find herself a Scottish man, but the inclusion of this modern day time jump gave it a fun spin.
I really enjoyed Pepper's writing, and found myself both laughing and crying at different times, and will be looking into her other works to add to my TBR list.

I did not want this book to end. SO cute, so witty, yet also sweet reminders of faith and growth as people. I loved the Scotland setting and wanted to dive into the scenery. I love how Pepper used Scottish words throughout the book and you could sense the character's accents and culture. Another modern funny romance perfected by Pepper!

Thank you to NetGalley & Thomas Nelson for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I’m giving this book five stars for so many incredible reasons.

I loved the idea of a travel writer and it being set in Scotland. The entire setting made it just the perfect, cozy fall read. If you’re craving the Scottish setting, so much lore and the accents this is the perfect book for you.

Although I found the beginning slow, I adored reading about Graeme and Katie. I loved the authors writing style and was laughing out loud and crying at different points in the book. Seeing how both main characters handled grief and learning to open their hearts again in their own ways was really beautiful. I also absolutely loved Lachlan and found him to be an amazing addition to their story.

This story is set in Scotland and is one that is hard to put down. Love this authors stories and this one is another winner. Her characters are easy to relate to and well developed and relatable. Katie is a travel writer who often showcases some of the situations she gets herself into without even trying, and Graeme and his family own the old manor where her Edwardian Experience will take center stage and have her in one place for 3 weeks, unheard of. Beautiful descriptions of the area and a good cast of characters, though Graeme's family and the knitters would be considered great additions. Katie is adorable and Graeme is spending a lot of time coming to her rescue, even an embarrassing rescue. Also really liked Katie's brother Brett and was thankful she has his solid support behind her. Definitely a book to be added to a readers collection.

A complimentary copy was provided by Thomas Nelson via NetGalley. A review was not required and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Me llevé una grata sorpresa al leer la historia de Katie y Graeme. Algo que me encantó fue que, aunque es un romance, no todo gira en torno a ello. Me refiero a que ambos protagonistas tienen sus propias personalidades, trabajos, sueños, miedos y problemas. No todo cambia mágicamente con el poder del amor; en cambio, los hace más fuertes, pero siguen siendo ellos mismos. No basan su personalidad en estar enamorados; se apoyan y se dan ánimos mutuamente.

Me encantó la relación entre Katie y Lachlan, Graeme y Lachlan, así como la dinámica entre los tres juntos. Sus escenas son tan lindas.


Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Pepper Basham books are an auto buy for me. So I was very excited to be able to read Some Like It Scot.
I loved that the main characters were so relatable, and the theme of a travel writer in Scotland was excellent. This book was hard to put down just like all the other ones she has written. Such a cute and lovely story that everyone will love!

Thank you for an arc @netgalley and Thomas Nelson Fiction

I absolutely loved this story! These heartwarming delightful characters, laugh-out-loud moments, the beautiful setting, and of course the deep faith, all blending together into an amazing story that I didn’t want to put down! I wasn’t ready for the story to end, I’d have happily lingered with them longer!

(I volunteered to review an early copy of this book. I am not required to write a review. The thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.)

Oh my. Pepper Basham just has a way with her words that brings be deep into her stories. Not only are they so RELATABLE, but the characters are just real. I fell in love with Katie from the first paragraph and just continued to want her to be my friend throughout the book. She reminded me of some of my friends growing up.

Gramme was every woman's dream man in a kilt. The play between the two of them was just great. There were so many times I laughed and then had tears. Mark's the "eejit"'s episode with the staircase cracked me up. But the pivotal laughter was 100% the dinner party. I read it over and over because it was just so good. I need to see it in film.

Actually i need this book in film. The challenge would be finding the right actress as not many actresses are 6'1" with red hair. And changing that would spoil everything!!!

The nod to Jaime Jo Wright was delightful! When I mentioned it in a Christian fiction group on FB, she didn't even know there was one and commented with shock.

This book just had everything for me. Excellent lessons in faith (I wrote two passages down for later). Joy. Sorrow. Self-worth. God's value on you. It's a must read.

5 stars

*Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the ARC of this book to review. All opinions are 100% my own.

Recently I had the honor of reading an ARC copy of Pepper Basham's Some Like It Scot. I loved the way Pepper created beautiful word pictures of a country I would love to visit someday. The book takes place on a small Scottish Isle as Katie Campbell, a travel writer, shares her Misadventures with her blog followers. She is taken in by a wonderful group of people who live on the island. Graeme MacKerrow has lived there all his life and doesn't trust outsiders, especially red headed women who like to travel.
I found the story to be delightful and the scenery magnificent. I adore the way Pepper weaves faith throughout the story as easy as breathing. I highly recommend Some Like It Scot. The only downside is you will have to wait until April 0f 2025 to enjoy it.

So be sure to pre-order your copy today.

I was given a copy of Some Like it Scot with no expectations All thoughts are my own.

1. Overview:
A brilliant Rom-Com set in Isle of Mull, Scotland. Miss Misadventure a.k.a Katie Campbell a travelling writer meets Graeme MacKerrow on an assignment in Scotland. Katie is invited to a three-week Edwardian experience with various other participants and meets the Grumpy Scot who thinks the Edwardian experience is ludicrous to begin with. Neither is looking for love, but Katie finds a home in Graeme, and his family, and Mull and Graeme meet his match in Katie. Through mishaps and life’s being safe, mostly Katie’s life the novel unfolds.

2. What did I like:
- The novel has blazing humor which made me chuckle more than once.
- The characters' feelings are substantiated so that the reader builds a deep understanding of the characters in the story.
I loved the misadventures created
- The plot is not solely focused on the two main characters and Katie forms a relationship with little Lachlan, Mirren, and the knitting club.

3. What I did not like:
- As a personal preference I prefer a little more dialogue and a little less descriptive writing, but the novel moves at a good pace.

4. Ratings and Final Thoughts:
I love this novel and would read it again. The story was inspiring and would uplift anyone’s frown to a smile. I would rate Some Like It Scot by Pepper Basham 5 out of 5.

More than 5 stars! This is an amazing book filled with humor, crazy animals, unbelievable "accidents," and true love! Scotland has been on my bucket list, and I definitely want to visit it now! ( preferably during the Highland Games)😄 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

I can honestly say that I connected with Katie on many levels. She loves listening to stories, she's an encouraging person, she loves to travel and she attracts all kinds of crazy animals! Graeme, oh be still my heart! He gives off grumpy vibes, but he's all marshmallow fluff! Lachlan is the cutest! I love the way he talks!

The idea of the Edwardian experience absolutely thrills me! To spend 3 weeks immersed in Downton Abbey cosplay sounds fantastic! Throw in a precocious macaw and a devious weasel; fun times will be had!

The story is filled with both the bitter and the sweet. Katie and Graeme have painful pasts, but as they start to heal, their hearts find true love.

I was provided a complimentary copy of the book from Thomas Nelson via Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Some Like it Scot is a smashing hit! I absolutely loved it. It’s a romcom at its finest. An accident prone heroine, a dashing “hot Scot” rescuer, an adorable kid, and a warm welcoming family will all draw the reader into the story with strings that will wrap around your heart. This is one family and love story that I won’t easily forget!

Some Like it Scot is perfect!!! I would give it 10 stars if if I could! The characters are great, the setting is beautiful and the story is everything.
Pepper is a master of great storytelling. No one should miss Katie, the #hotscot and all the lovable and sometimes irritating cast of characters.

Ps. My new favorite word is eejit! 😉

I was given a copy by the editor via NetGalley for my honest review.

Sinopsis en español:

La popular escritora de viajes y podcaster Katie Campbell recorre el mundo recopilando historias de otras personas. Ha construido una carrera como "Miss Adventure", conocida por decir que sí a cualquier cosa nueva (país, comida o experiencia) y, como era de esperar, encontrar esas aventuras tomando un giro descendente en desventuras.

Ofrecida la oportunidad de explorar sus raíces ancestrales a través de una experiencia eduardiana de tres semanas, Katie se encuentra inmersa en la belleza y excentricidad de Escocia. En su atuendo de época, con comidas y actividades tradicionales, las oportunidades de desventuras son infinitas, especialmente con la presencia de un guacamayo maníaco, un compañero de trabajo celoso y un escocés demasiado hosco.

El solitario y protector Graeme MacKerrow no se aventura lejos de su isla natal. Un estoico escocés, la zona de confort de Graeme siempre ha sido la familia, y después de la muerte de su hermana, está aún más decidido a salvar el hogar ancestral de MacKerrow y mantener cerca a los que ama. La repentina intrusión de una nes estadounidense de seis pies y uno, famosa por sus desgracias viajeras, estaba lejos de su plan.

Mientras este mundo de folclore, comunidad y carpinteros con faldas tienta a Katie a descubrir su propia historia, ¿podría esta gran serie de desventuras llevarla directamente a donde pertenece? ¿Y un escocés establecido arriesgaría alguna vez a aflojar su control sobre lo que es familiar para permitir que un escritor con pasión por los viajes tenga un hogar en su corazón? ¿Cómo podrían sus mundos tan diferentes compartir la misma página de la historia de la vida cuando "el hogar" está en dos lugares muy diferentes? Pero tal vez el hogar, y el futuro, no es exactamente lo que cualquiera de los dos imaginó que sería. Tal vez el hogar se trata menos de un lugar... y más de una persona.




Reseña:
Me encantó, que linda sensación es leer un buen libro de romance en donde todo se centre en la relación de los protagonistas, pero sin quitarles sus personalidades ni sueños y que siendo sus propias personas, solo que más fuertes porque están juntos.

What a delightful story!!!

When I need a laugh-out-loud funny, sweet, and romantic story, I know I can count on a Pepper Basham book! I have to say, I absolutely like it Scot along with Katie Campbell. Katie is a most genuine, self-deprecatingly funny person, she is a travel writer, and photographer who shares her "Miss Adventures" with her followers. Her latest assignment takes her to Scotland where she meets the cranky but gorgeous Graeme MacKerrow. I love her nicknames for him "Hateful Highlander", "Sulky Scott", "Stoic Scot", "Mr. Grump" to name a few. Despite calling himself an "eejit", Graeme is attracted to this tall, funny, prone-to-mishaps visitor from America. "Few things appealed to a Scotsman like a keen sense of humor." Their banter was so much fun.

Katie meets the delightful Mirren, owner of the local bookstore, and Katie's "grin responded to her humor without hesitation." The Wednesday morning "Stories and Stitches" book club are a hoot. Mirren is a kind, funny, and loving woman about Katie's mother's age. Mirren tells her "every person's story is worth hearing Katiegirl."

I adored the 8 year old Lachlan and his dog Wedge. I got as much of a kick out of his expressions and accent as Katie did.

I love the author's nods to the game Clue. "Miss Adventure in the sitting room with a fishing pole."

Even though he is anonymous, Graeme is the handsome guy behind #HotScot trending on Katie's social media. The sight of him in a kilt at the Highland games left Katie speechless.

The scenery descriptions are stunning.

I love the way Pepper seamlessly weaves faith throughout the story.

Graeme's family is wonderful, funny, and one that anyone would love to be a part of. They too have had their share of loss. Katie is close to her brother, but the rest of her family has been distant since her sister died many years ago. Her travel career is satisfying but also a way to run away from how things were.

Some Like it Scot is a delightfully funny, sweet journey of healing and finding belonging. I highly recommend it!

Thank you to the publisher Thomas Nelson and Net galley for allowing me to read an early copy. I loved every minute of it, and all opinions are my own.

I absolutely love Pepper Basham’s novels.

This is a great one about a goofy precious young woman find her way.

I also enjoyed the wink at another series wondering if this will be a continuation!

Pepper Basham’s latest, Some Like it Scot, is a beautiful story about a traveling Photojournalist known for her mishaps, and a Scot who’s trying to create a new life from some messy, broken pieces.

Again, Katie is confident in her skills, but, having lived most of her life ‘not good enough’ and never measuring up, it’s really difficult for her to accept when some people actually think she’s worth being around. Fear of disappointing them wars with hope that she may have found her people.

Graeme’s fears, having been proven valid a few times now, aren’t letting him trust that any new opportunities, personal or professional, are going to prove worth the risk.

Watching both of them begin to trust, and even think differently about themselves, is beautiful. And hilarious with their running pun-war.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and chose to review it here. All thoughts are my own.

1#SomeLikeItScot #NetGalley

Katie Campbell is always getting in one scrape or another, and it's a good thing
that she gets paid for her mis adventures as a travel writer and poscaster. Her
latest adventure takes her to Scotland and Graeme MacKerrow, who is raising
his nephew and likes to stay close to home. When their two worlds collide,
Graeme is a little skeptical and wants nothing to do with this ginger haired
American. What a fun read.

Oh, wow! I absolutely loved this book! I enjoyed the humor of Katie’s misadventures. I enjoyed all the friends she met during her stay on the Isle of Mull in Scotland, especially Graeme’s family. Katie would go for walks, and we learned about some of the countryside and the manor house. I enjoyed meeting Graeme, who had hurts in the past to overcome. Katie likes to travel, Graeme does not. How was the author going to bring them together? I loved that there were Scottish words interspersed throughout, but the book wasn’t written in the vernacular Scottish brogue, so it was very easy to read. You could read the brogue into it yourself if you wanted to. There was a light faith thread too. I think the plot was fantastic and the book is magnificent! I read the book through NetGalley, but my review is my own true opinion.

What a sweet love story! I love all the puns. The Scottish accent in my head as I imagined Graeme speaking was fantastic ❤️ I enjoyed every bit of this book.

Brilliant I loved this story. It brought back so many great memories of my Glaswegian uncle. I enjoyed all aspects, but most of all the found family. I really hope that one day this story will be brought even further to life with an audio book 😍

Another absolute winner from this author. I thought it was part of the skymar series when I added it to my list but it isn’t. What a great new book. I could see so many chances for stories with these characters .

I loved Katie’s story so much and her wounded way of looking at the world with humor and positivity. Graeme was such a lovable bore of a Scot His rough exterior quickly lead to the soft interior and his desire to take care of others.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book. All opinions are my own.

Well, this was just the most heartwarming story I've read in a while! Pepper Basham has created two flawed, but utterly beautiful main characters who just stole my heart. And red headed sidekick, Lachlan, was just the icing on the cake!

A travel writer named Katie and a man named Graeme (who shows up in a kilt here and there) combine in this sweet romance in Scotland. There may or may not be a feisty Highland coo as well!

I received an arc from netgalley, but all enthusiastic opinions are my own!

Whew, what a story!! It took me a bit to find my rhythm in this one, but that was mostly due to life’s distractions.
This story is so, so good!
And relatable!!
Parts of Katie’s story had me crying, and others had me laughing…
This story is about finding a place to belong. But, it's so much more than that - it's finding those people that truly make you feel at home.
Katie is hilarious. And her #hotscot was fun to read about, too!
This story is one of my favorites of the year, and that's saying a lot!!
I can’t wait to read more about these delightful characters!

Some Like it Scot by Pepper Basham is a wonderful rom-com with heart.

Katie Campbell is a travel writer notorious for her misadventures. The mishaps Katie gets into during her visit to Scotland made me laugh out loud several times while reading. Yet, there’s more to Katie Campbell than the accidents that seem to happen to her wherever she goes. Hidden inside her is the deep desire to be loved unconditionally. Then there’s Graeme MacKerrow. This “hot Scot” might give all the classic “grump” vibes, but underneath his brusqueness is a tender heart. I especially liked how several characters in the story, including Graeme, show God’s unconditional love to Katie. And both main characters learn to trust God more. By the time I was reading the last 10% or so of the book, I was crying happy sappy tears that wouldn’t quit. It was such a sweet, romantic story! Simply wonderful!

A five star read for me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you enjoy stories set in Scotland, hilarious yet relatable characters, and a happily ever after ending, then be sure to grab a copy of Some Like it Scot! I will be preordering a copy to reread for sure!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

An instant add to my favorite books list! A perfect read for anyone looking for a romantic story with plenty of humor.

Anyone who has ever felt like they don't quite belong, and struggles with self-image, plus dysfunctional family dynamics, will find a kindred spirit in Katie. Loved her optimism and kindness towards others, even those who were difficult. I smiled and laughed out loud through the whole book. There are some serious parts too, with a bit of inspiration to add depth and hope.
A slow burn romance with a lot of fun banter, and some swoon worthy kisses, should satisfy any romance fans. Throw in some charming side characters, especially the wise Mirren, an adorable boy, and even a villain, and there is enough to keep it interesting clear through. It made me want to visit Scotland and see the places mentioned.

This was a book to savor and enjoy at a leisurely pace, though it would be easy to read in just a few sittings too. I didn't want it to end! It would make a fun vacation or beach read. Highly recommend! 5 stars

Delightfully witty, filled with mental scenery and a host of characters bringing joy to readers. Prepare for snickers and grins from Katie's mishaps as she finds adventures and more within the Scottish island.

I received a complimentary copy of the book without obligation. This review is my opinion.

I loved all things about this book.
That Katie was a tall girl and Graeme was an extra large guy. They both had their insecurities but together they made it work for the best.
And I adored 8 year old Lachlan and his dog, Wedge.

The book totally made me want to visit Scotland. I never understood why others yearned to go there. But now, I’m all in. Pepper’s descriptions of the land were so appealing and fascinating.

I really liked the ending! The faith thread was so relevant and woven throughout the story.
All in all, this book is so well written and appealing in so many ways, I am sure I will be recommending it to everyone!

Thank you to Net Galley for allowing me to read this book. The opinions are entirely my own.
