| Proper, straight-laced Rose hopes to have some no strings attached fun for once and there's no better opportunity than her best friend's wedding in the Scottish highlands. Sparks fly almost immediately between Rose and best man, laird, and castle owner, Lachlan. The two spend as much time together as possible leading up to the wedding and Rose begins to take not of how easy things are with Lachlan and the fact that she can just be herself with him. When an unwanted wedding guest from Lachlan's past arrives to stir up trouble, she threatens the fling that's not quite as casual as Rose had originally planned. Rose winds up heartbroken and just wanting her time in Scotland to end, even though she doesn't really want to go home to New Jersey. Lachlan sets about trying to make things right, but with a set date for Rose's departure, his efforts may not really matter. This was a far cry from the historicals I've generally stuck with as of late, but it was a breath of fresh air and I think just what I needed to keep from slipping into a rut. Katie, the bridge in the story, was just annoying and some of the dialogue was a bit repetitive, but I found Rose to be very relatable and Lachlan was just lovely and adorable. This was fun, light-hearted, and cheesy in the best way and I quite enjoyed it. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44011431-what-happens-in-the-highlands?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=BQaAi6dHEW&rank=1  |
