A Highlander Walks into a Bar by Laura Trentham
4.0
I always enjoy this author's books and this one takes us to Georgia where this little town is as if Scotland had a baby and it moved away and here it now resides!
Isobel (Izzy) and Alasdair is the couple that ends up together but not without a few interesting escapades and experiences. Izzy is a woman of multiple talents and right now works a job that she doesn't love and aspires to be an author. Her problem is that she isn't writing the right book for her talent. Alasdair ventures to the US to make sure his Uncle Gareth isn't being taken advantage of by a woman who happens to be Izzy's mother. I think Gareth has it more in hand than Alasdair.
The town is full of unique characters and shops which rounded out the main characters. The town sounds like one I wouldn't mind visiting or even living should I choose to get away from it all.
This story had quite a few spots that made me chuckle out loud and I found myself rooting for Izzy and Alasdair to realize what they have in each other and that life isn't all about a job you don't love. There are some rough patches and distrust in the beginning, but the story moved along (somewhat slower than I would have anticipated at times) and I couldn't wait to see how it ended. I loved the epilogue especially and it sets us up for the second book in this series.
Some of my favorite lines:
"You might want to practice in the mirror before you unleash it on the tourists."
"You're wearing underwear. I thought Scots went commando under their kilts."
"No chastity belt. But I should warn you, it's been so long I might have re-virginized."
He unzipped her purse and pulled out one, but the rest followed like her purse was a condom clown car.
