Publisher's summary

Christmas wishes do come true.

Melissa MacKenzie is an American interior designer with a seemingly happy life — until her husband Dave reveals he's been cheating on her and wants a divorce and the house. But when a letter informs her that she will inherit a home in Scotland, things start looking up. At the airport she inadvertently meets Colin McGregor, a charming Scottish-American lawyer who happens to be her husband's divorce lawyer. She's taken by his sexy Scottish accent and charm and, as fate would have it, he's on Melissa's flight to Edinburgh ... and on her train to Inverness, and happens to live in the same town where she's inherited her home.

As sparks fly between Melissa and Colin, he agrees to help her secure the Scottish home that she believes she's entitled to. They dive right into Scottish culture — and each other's arms — as love and a new home seem within reach. Will they be able to succeed in both missions? Or will everything fall apart?

Highlands Christmas is a romantic and delightful story that will set hearts afire. In a fairy tale as captivating as the Loch Ness monster, Melissa and Colin must cross an ocean to end up right where they belong...because home is where the heart is.

Has some intrigue…

Amy Quick Parrish is an up and coming author.
I think this is her first book that’s on “audible”.
The reader does the accents and sings.

Romance

If you want a very light, breezy and quick read and can set aside reality for a couple hours this could be an entertaining read for you. I wanted to ignore things like the fact that the divorce came as a complete shock to her but she took no time to feel sad, grieve or even get really angry for more than a minute. And does a person that never travels have a passport on hand to move to a new country on a moment's notice? I believe that moving to a new country has some legalities to work out. Work visa? But the thing that I really kept questioning through the entire move is regardless of the laws of the foreign country, what American would think that they could move into a house, begin making repairs etc. without ever signing a single thing or even talking with a lawyer or realtor or someone? I would anticipate a lot of paperwork to go along with it. So that was the thing that kept bugging me through the whole story and overshadowed the romance in my mind.

I loved Colin's family. They took in Melissa immediately and helped her feel at home in a foreign land. Hearing about the local customs was fun.

I suppose we are supposed to assume that Colin is now going to stay home instead of going back to the states but that wasn't really made clear to me how they would make their relationship work. I think that a little longer story might have helped in filling in some gaps.

The narrator was okay with the American accent but I think she did well with the Scottish. Not that I really know anything about Scottish accents but it sounded good to me.

No sex, language or violence
