BOOKWORM REVIEW: Highland Games by Evie Alexander

 


RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I don't think I have ever been this excited or horny about Scotland since Jamie Fraser in Outlander.

This book is hilarious, engaging, heartwarming, and heartbreaking. Evie Alexander puts your emotions through a rollercoaster that will have you asking to do it again.

We start the ride with Zoe, who has packed herself up to move into her great-uncle's cabin in the Scottish Highlands. Turns out said cabin is in a sadder shape than she anticipated, but Zoe is resilient and sets up a plan to bring the cabin back to life and possibly as close to this century as possible.

What she did not plan for is big, bad, broody Rory who wants the cabin for himself and is doing all he can to get Zoe to leave Kinloch. 

Gah, these two! The banter, the looks, the tension - they could heat a room faster than a hardworking Rayburn. As someone who reads strictly romance these days, I've found myself skimming through many spicy scenes, but that is not the case here. Evie writes phenomenal steamy scenes, including the tension-filled foreplay that leads to the action between the sheets..or leaning against the door..or in a car.

The book's pacing is well-done. There is a great infusion of laugh-out-loud comedy balanced with the lust-filled tension and plot-driving drama. Not only are the main characters relatable and endearing, the entire supporting cast (except for the Countess of Kinloch..boo..hiss) are also fantastic.

I will recommend this book a million times over if I could.

Highland Games is now available and is free with Kindle Unlimited.

ABOUT THE BOOK


Welcome to Kinloch, and the hottest winter Scotland’s ever seen.

Zoe’s always played it safe, just as her parents wanted. But when her great-uncle dies and leaves her a ramshackle cabin in the Scottish Highlands, she decides it’s time to change her life.

Upping sticks seems like a good idea in her cosy London flat, but the reality is very different. There’s no electricity or running water, the roof leaks and there’s no front door. If that wasn’t bad enough, she’s moved up in the depths of winter and her scorching hot neighbour wants her out.

Rory’s got a fifty thousand tonne problem. If he can’t make Kinloch castle profitable, he’s out of a job. He needs a clear head, but there’s someone living in the cabin he saw as his own and she’s turned his world upside down.

Rory needs Zoe out of Scotland, and out of his life. The trouble is, she has no intention of leaving.

Let the games begin…
