From Scotland With Love

From Scotland With Love is another Audible freebie for its members. I wanted something light and that's what I got with this book set in the beauty of Scotland with a story that includes popular romance tropes - second chance romance and enemies to lovers.

I liked the premise of this RomCom more than the execution. I loved the Scottish setting (naturally) and the romance tropes, but the dialogue is pretty cheesy, the characters were just meh and the narrator made a poor attempt at a Scots accent (which often sounded like Irish). 

This book was ... fine. It was a light listen as I got things tidied around the house but I'm glad it was a free Audible selection. I listened to this audiobook last week and honestly, not much of the story has stuck with me. Consider this a quick, easy and predictable romance that may make you feel like you're in Ireland instead of Scotland.

Book Description from GoodReads: Escape to Scotland in this funny, heartfelt audio-first romance about reconnecting with an old love...and discovering new passion.

After her boyfriend runs off to a Buddhist monastery, Molly is stuck with an extra ticket for a bed-and-breakfast trip through the Scottish Highlands. Not wanting to waste the fare, she sells it in an online auction...where it's bought by a man from her past. Now she's stuck rooming with the guy who broke her heart - someone she's never been able to forget.

When Alex arrives in Scotland and discovers that he unknowingly purchased a romantic getaway with his ex-girlfriend, he knows he should walk away. Spending two weeks at a bed-and-breakfast in the Scottish Highlands with his beautiful, spirited ex is a terrible idea. He came to Scotland with one goal in mind - to win an elite photojournalism competition - and Molly is a distraction he can't afford.

But as the stunning Scottish Highlands weaves its magic, Alex's and Molly's hearts begin to open once again. Can they let go of their past for the second shot of a lifetime?
