About the Book
Just Friends at Thistle Lodge
One romantic getaway. Two friends. Seven days just pretending…
When Nina Copeland’s mates try to match her with the guy next door, she needs a plan. Because Matthew’s just a friend, and Nina has a secret she doesn’t want him to discover – not until she’s tidied her messy life.
After his divorce, physics teacher Matthew Gilchrist has kept his heart locked safely away. So why do people keep pushing him to date his chirpy neighbour? He and Nina are fine just as friends. Aren’t they?
Nina hatches a solution to get everyone off their backs: fake a relationship at a family reunion, then stage a break-up so life can go back to normal. What could go wrong?
Stuck together at a romantic highland lodge, new feelings lure them out of the friend zone. But if love is to find a way in, Nina must confront her past, and Matthew put his heart on the line.
My Thoughts
This is my intro to the Glenbriar series taking place in the Scottish Highlands and author Margaret Amatt and now that I’ve had a sample of her books it won’t be my last.
The chemistry between Nina and Matt is incredible.
Their relationship goes from next door neighbors as friends to fake dating to the real thing. It was such fun seeing them both squirm as they tried to keep it casual and not admit to even themselves how much they were wanting to take it to the next step but didn’t want to go over boundaries because they weren’t sure how the other one felt about them.
When they were able to just relax and become themselves the sizzle took off. He is a high school teacher and divorced she is currently unemployed because of a bad experience.
The author creates a very warm, well developed story line with likeable characters and realistic situations.
I absolutely cannot wait to read more by this author, a new favorite of mine.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

Author Bio –
Margaret has told and written stories for as long as she can remember. During her formative years, she spent time on long walks inventing characters and stories to pass the time.
Writing books is Margaret’s passion and when she’s not doing that, she’s often found eating chocolate, walking and taking photographs in the hills around Highland Perthshire. Those long walks still frequently bring inspiration!
It’s Margaret’s pleasure to bring you the Scottish Island Escapes series and The Glenbriar Series. These books are linked (even the two series have crossovers!) for those who enjoy inhabiting Margaret’s world of stories but each can be read as a standalone if you’d rather dip in and out with individual books.
