ABOUT THE BOOK

Unwrap this gorgeous gift of a book for an escape to the snow-peaked caps of the Scottish Highlands and a romance that will melt your heart…

Izzy McBride had never in a million years expected to inherit an actual castle from her great uncle Bill but here she was, in the run up to Christmas, Monarch of her own Glen – a very rundown glen in need of a lot of TLC if her dream of turning it into a boutique bed and breakfast was to come true.

But when Izzy’s eccentric mother rents a room to enigmatic thriller author Ross Adair and the Scottish snow starts to settle like the frosting on a Christmas cake, it’s a race to get the castle ready before they’re all snowed in for the holidays.

MY THOUGHTS

October seems to be the month for a lot of Christmas books releasing and though I didn’t get a chance to read this when it released, I am so glad I got a chance to read it now. I also have the next book in the series and look forward to it as well.

You’re going to love your holiday trip to the Scottish Highlands through this book. A fun romantic holiday read it hits all the feels you need.
An inheritance of a castle in Scotland is nothing to sneeze at and Izzy McBride would never have thought it would happen to her.
Running it with her over the top mother can be a bit overwhelming, she does have others helping het to run it though she gets that help in a way she wasn’t expecting.

Though the flakes are flying outside things are heating up in the castle with thriller author Ross Adair as one of her guests.
Loved reading the descriptions of the castle and gardens. The Scottish foods and descriptions of ingredients made me hungry.
Lobed the two mothers and their plotting and planning, how much fun.
Shall I pack my bags now? I’m ready for a visit to the castle.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
All opinions expressed are my own.
