The timeless romance, soaring passion—and gorgeous men—of Scotland comes to modern-day America. And the rules of love will never be the same… 

Isabel Buchanan is fiery, funny, and never at a loss for words. But she is struck speechless when her mother returns from a trip to Scotland with a six-foot-tall, very handsome souvenir. Izzy’s mother is so infatuated by the fellow that Izzy has to plan their annual Highland Games all by herself. Well, not completely by herself. The Highlander’s strapping young nephew has come looking for his uncle…

Alasdair Blackmoor has never seen a place as friendly as this small Georgia town—or a girl as brilliant and beguiling as Izzy. Instead of saving his uncle, who seems to be having a lovely time, Alasdair decides he’d rather help Izzy with the Highland Games. Show her how to dance like a Highlander. Drink like a Highlander. And maybe, just maybe, fall in love with a Highlander. But when the games are over, where do they go from here?

Review:

A Highlander Walks Into a Bar is a perfect summer romance! I'd love to see it as a Hallmark Channel movie (even though they'd take out the smexy parts.) It's got an earl in disguise, a small town festival and a couple that keeps getting interrupted when things get serious. It's fun and funny and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The town of Highland, Georgia is both picturesque and over the top with its small town charm and Scottish-themed kitch. Quirky small towns are my catnip and this one did not disappoint. I also loved the dueling accents! That would be great in a movie. Oh, or in audiobook!

I'm looking forward to the next one in the series, which is set up nicely at the end. Can I have it now?

Recommended for fans of: Hallmark Channel movies, men in kilts
