"The yummy flavor of Scotland"
The flavor of Scotland really came through in these
four delightful Scottish stories. I thoroughly enjoyed each
and every one. Connie Brockway's Lassie, Go Home has
American Toni
Olsen and Scottish Devlin Montgomery meeting when Dev's
manager sells his prize winning dog to Toni. When the
manager finds out that Toni isn't a man, he runs away with
the dog. Toni and Dev give chase and in the meantime fall
in love. Patti Berg's
Sinfully Scottish tells the story of
Emily Sinclair, best selling cook book author trying to
figure out how to meet reclusive Colin Dunbar in order to
convince him to let her photograph her prizewinning
desserts in his castle for her next best selling book.
Colin is intrigued but he's also not interested in falling
in love. Neither is Emily but both are in for a big
surprise! Debra Dier's The Maddening Highlander tells
how
Dr. Ann Fitzpatrick finds Adair Matheson's diary in her
grandmother's attic. When she reads it she finds four clues
to a treasure that has been hidden for years. Iain
Matheson has Dr. Fitzpatrick investigated because he
doesn't quite believe she's who she says she is. Ann knows
about Iain's reputation with the ladies so she's wary to
say the least but they don't count on their attraction to
each other. Will it get in the way of their looking for the
lost treasure? Kathleen Givens'
Castle In The Skye is about Maddie
Breen, workaholic on a much-needed vacation to honor her
grandfather's best friend on his birthday. There she meets
Iain MacDonald. Iain is restoring Duntober Castle, which is
the castle of Maddie's dreams. She's always had an
affinity to that castle. Maddie and Iain fall in love but
Maddie has to go back to New York and she's not sure she
believes in love at first sight. It's up to Iain to
convince her but does he have time before she leaves? It's rare that I enjoy all of the stories in an
anthology and this is one of those cases. I will be putting
this book on my keeper shelf.
