A review by readintowonderland
Love on the Scottish Spring Isle by Beatrice Bradshaw

4.5

This book has an absolutely beautiful setting! I want to visit that island and see all of the amazing scenery in the book. I am impressed with how well Bradshaw wove the scenery seamlessly into the story. 
 
My second favorite part of this book after the setting is how this book allows both main characters to grow on their own. April and Euan learn and decide how they want their lives to proceed separately from one another. I want to see more of this! 

I found when  April referred to Euan's butt as his peach emoji cringy. This is a personal grievance/ick of mine that I did not realize I had until now.  I feel like especially in a book with spice, we are all adults here and can call body parts by their proper names.

The nicknames they both gave each other were so fun and clever. Their banter overall was quite good and funny to read.

I will note this book has multiple explicit sex scenes. The author has stated that she is a big advocate for sexual liberation and conveys such in her books. That said, these scenes can be skipped without missing too much plot if spicy scenes are not your cup of tea.  There is also a spicy bonus chapter available for anyone who enjoys that content. 

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. The setting is immersive and gorgeous above all else. April and Euan's banter is amusing and flows well. Both April and Euan grow on their own which adds a lot of value to their commitment.

I received this book as an arc from Book Sirens. My review is honest and voluntary
