Book Blurb:
She lives her life on the fly. His heart is double-knotted to home. Can two different souls create a life together?
Popular travel writer and podcaster Katie Campbell roams the world collecting other people's stories. She's built a career as "Miss Adventure," known for saying yes to anything new--country, food, or experience--and predictably finding those adventures taking a downward turn into misadventures.
Offered the chance to explore her ancestral roots through a three-week Edwardian experience, Katie finds herself immersed in the beauty and eccentricity of Scotland. In her period attire, with traditional foods and activities, the opportunities for misadventures are endless, especially with the presence of a maniacal macaw, a jealous co-worker, and an all-too-surly Scotsman.
Reclusive and protective Graeme MacKerrow doesn't venture far from his island home. A stoic Scotsman, Graeme's comfort zone has always been family, and after his sister's death, he's even more determined to save the MacKerrow ancestral home and keep those he loves close. The sudden intrusion of a six-foot-one American lass, famous for her traveling misfortunes, was far from his plan.
As this world of folklore, community, and woodworkers-in-kilts tempts Katie to discover her own story, could this one grand series of misadventures lead her directly to where she belongs? And would a settled-in-Scot ever risk loosening his grip on what's familiar to allow a wanderlust writer a home in his heart? How could their very different worlds share the same page of life's story when "home" is in two very different places? But maybe home--and the future--isn't quite what either one imagined it would be. Maybe home is less about a place . . . and more about a person.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
In Some Like It Scot, Katie Campbell loves a good adventure. As a popular travel writer and social media darling, she’s navigated countless escapades around the globe, earning her the nickname “Miss Adventure.” Her latest journey takes her to Scotland—the land of her ancestors—where she dives into an Edwardian experience, explores a charming Scottish village, befriends an impish little boy, and crosses paths with a grumpy Scotsman she can’t help but think of as the “Hot Scot.” What could possibly go wrong?
Graeme MacKerrow has reluctantly rented out his ancestral home to a wealthy family looking to recreate an Edwardian experience. He despises the attention of the press but needs the money to restore his family estate to its former glory. He finds it impossible to ignore Katie, especially after she literally falls on him—followed by every other mishap she brings into his life. There’s something undeniably captivating about her, even though her wanderlust heart clashes with his dreams of a rooted life. Will they find a way to bridge their differences and create something lasting together?
Pepper Basham, you’ve done it again! You made me laugh, swoon, and blink back tears. As a fellow tall lady, I fell in love with Katie and her deep longing for love and a place to call home. I felt like I was right there with her, exploring Scotland and experiencing every magical moment. This story was beautifully written, laugh-out-loud funny, and an absolute delight to read. I’m truly sad to say goodbye to Katie and Graeme—I could follow their adventures forever. What a fantastic book! Highly recommend!
