I am loving each one of the stories within the Highland
Holiday series! Each novella is well- paced,
entertaining
and provides a slice -of -life look into the lives of the
tight knit Cromarty clan, their friends and the guests
visiting Dunroamin Cottage. Grace Burrowes descriptive
voice
adds credibility to the storyline as the reader can imagine
tasting the toffee pudding, smelling the flowers, and
listening to the music playing at the local pub.
MUST LOVE SCOTLAND contains two charming novellas Love On
The Links
and My Heartthrob's In The Highlands. The novellas feature
sisters Julie and Megan Leonard who travel to Scotland for
different reasons. Recently divorced, Julie Leonard has
traveled to Scotland to improve her golf game in an effort
to be considered for a judgeship appointment. Megan is in
the middle of securing a loan to expand her business when
her sister calls and invites her to Scotland.
Grace Burrowes is a gifted storyteller who creates unique
characters who are faced with every day career and family
choices. She tells her character's stories with humor and
compassion. In Love On The Links, Julie Leonard's self
esteem has been shattered by her ex-husband's infidelity.
She is focused on pursuing a judgeship because it's the
next logical step in her career path. Niall Cromarty is
Julie's golf instructor. A former golf professional, he has
plans to expand his golf course which his neighbor and
former best friend , Declan MacPherson, strongly opposes.
Declan is my favorite character in this series. His
relationship with Niall is important because it provides
the back-story to the reader and connects each of the
characters to the present day story. The kilt wearing,
whiskey drinking farmer and his lamb steal many of the
scenes in Love on the Links . I was pleased to see Declan
as Megan's love interest in the second novella!!
Julie's sister Megan Leonard is the heroine in My
Heartthrob's In The Highlands. Megan is focused on her
career and has put her professional dreams ahead of her
personal ones. This excerpt from Megan and Declan's story
intrigued me and I preordered this book after reading it.
The characters grabbed my attention. I had to know how the
author brought the whiskey drinking farmer and the
pragmatic business woman together. This couple had lots of
chemistry and I enjoyed reading every single page of this
novella!!
Loved the humor and compassion in both of the novellas.
Julie's character resonated with me. She was faced with
career and personal choices. Would she take a leap of faith
and make a career change? I wondered what she would
discover as she read through Declan's great, great granny's
will. Would she be able to find some wording that would put
an end to Niall and Declan's dispute? Megan has a few
decisions to make as well. Will she stay in Scotland and
enjoy her holiday or travel back to the States to start a
second florist shop? And what happens to Wee Mary?
If you love Grace Burrowes historical novels, you will
adore these two modern day stories set in the Scottish
Highlands. Make yourself a cup of tea and enjoy!

weren’t
enough trouble, Niall’s neighbor-turned-nemesis, Declan

Julie realizes she’d rather wear Niall’s ring. Will she
steal
Niall’s dream, or will he fulfill hers? My Heartthrob’s in

to the land he works so diligently, despite his enthusiasm
for

Declan’s interest blossoms into romance, but one of them
