When I found this book on Outlet Books, I had just finished the first Outlander book and had sped through the first three seasons of the tv show. Needless to say, just like our main character, I was (and still am) in love with Jamie Fraser. Now, even though it would make this book much more enjoyable, you don't have to have read the Outlander series to enjoy this sweet story! Emma finds herself at an impasse, she's sick of her life and waiting around so she devises a plan, and a blog, to go to Scotland to search for her Highlander hero Jamie Fraser. Soon enough she finds that she's sold all her belongings and booked a flight- with only Diana's map at the front of the book to guide her. She goes into the trip hoping to find her own version of Claire and Jamie's love story and on her way to find that, she in turn find herself. She does some adventuring, goes out on her own and makes her own money- she even has some trusty blog followers that keep up with her on her adventures! Fear, and a strong want to finish something she's started, guide her and show her where to go next, along with some help from the map and friendly locals. She finds a community that she falls in love with and as she nears the end of her trip, she is confronted with the age old question that plagues anyone who thinks there's more out there for them to grab- should she stay or should she go? Does she find her one true Jamie Fraser? There's more to the Scottish Highlands than meets the eye.
Anyone who loves Diana Gabaldons Outlander series will enjoy this book.
A very fun read that I truly enjoyed more than I thought I would.
what a cute excellently executed concept! I loved Emma and Jack and Morag and Ash. Hamish was a right douchebag.

Oh, how I love you Jamie Fraser. Emma Sheridan loves him, too, and after a slight breakdown of sorts, she sells everything she owns in Chicago, escapes to Scotland to find a modern-day version of James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser, and starts a blog to document her progress. This is a very cutes story, although I did get annoyed with Emma's character until she has an epiphany and finds herself. I highly recommend this for all Outlander fans!
I can NOT say enough good things about this book. What a wonderful read! If you're a romance reader, a dreamer, Outlander obsessed, or an eternal wanderlust, this story is absolutely for you!
Emma Sheridan is living the life I want to live. I'm not sure if I love her or hate her for just that reason. She's through with the mundane and routine. She longs for a story of her own to tell, and a real-life book boyfriend by her side while she does it. Needless to say, she's not finding him in Chicago, so it was time to move to greener pastures, and what better place than bonny Scotland!
She is indeed a brave girl. Faced with the unknown, she overcomes her fears and travels to a place she had only ever read about, and finds a new life. A trip deemed crazy by those she knew back home wound up being her life-changing experience.
This book just didn't go at all how I thought it would! I thought it would turn out like most romances do, and I wound up getting so much more than I bargained for and I'm thrilled!
Does she find her Fraser (as in the one and only Jamie Fraser)? You'll have to find out, but the most important thing to remember is that this book is about finding yourself first. Emma is my wannabe spirit animal and I can only hope that one day I find the courage she found to live my life and just go with the flow, and until then, I'll just have to settle for envy!

It was a fun read. I started at about 1 pm and finished at 2 am, so I really wanted to finish it. I like the premisse, and it was worked out well.
I would have liked it, though, if Jack was a bit more realistic. While Emma holds this whole rant to Jack about how his female characters are too perfect, he himself is also too perfect. Handsome, smart, funny, and can hold his liquor. I'd like it if he'd had a flaw, which most of the other characters did have.
Hamish was the other end of the spectrum, who just was a walking stereotypes, or more like, wanted to be one. He was surfer dude hot, and insanely stupid.
But all in all, I'd recommend this to anyone who's got a love for James Alexander Malcom MacKenzie Fraser (aka Jamie Fraser, I may or may not have needed to lock at the cover of the book to know his whole name), because it has respect for ladies (and gentlemen) like us, but also shows you that you should be open to people who don't meet all your ridiculously high standards.
