This is the first book in a trilogy. It is fast-paced, so I was done with it almost as quickly as I started. And it’s very straight to the point (maybe because I’m used to more twists and complex developments).
Book 1 was quite interesting. I enjoyed reading it, and I loved the vivid descriptions of a Scottish Christmas. it made me want to experience Christmas in Inverness! I also appreciated the family dynamics in the MacGregor home and how warm and welcoming the small town felt.
My only issue was that Colin wasn’t as proactive with the divorce as I expected. If he really liked Melissa, wouldn’t it have made more sense to hasten the finality of the divorce rather than let it drag on for so long?
But overall, it was an enjoyable read.

Overall, I found Highlands Christmas - Wishes Come True to be a sweet holiday novella. The welcoming Scottish setting was warm and inviting, the friendship between Melissa and the McGregor family heartwarming, but there were a things that were illogical and so unlikely that it was hard for me to fully enjoy the story. I am still glad that I read it though, and if you are looking for a quick holiday novella with a Hallmark movie vibe, give this a try.
This was a cute and fun holiday romance!!! If you want a short, fast, closed door romance than this might be for you.
This was a cute Christmas story. I don't know that I'd call it a romance though as we only get a kiss and the ending is kind of abrupt, not really qualifying for an HEA. Nothing is resolved with the MMC career/family, or the FMC's divorce, etc. A brief, cute, Scottish, christmassy read, but felt it was lacking in story development.

There's lots of Christmas in this short novella. The Scottish village and folklore was terrific.
I just don't understand how anyone would just hop a plane when they get a letter about inheriting a house without getting all the logistics and paperwork in order first. There wouldn't be a story if she didn't go to Scotland but still...

What an adorable story to start off the Christmas season! I felt like I was watching one of those movies I usually watch at Christmas.
I loved Melissa and the development she got throughout the story. Although I would have liked to go a little deeper into the romance between the characters, I can't deny that I had a lot of fun reading this book.

This was such a short and cozy read. I really enjoyed reading this on this beautiful winter day. Big thanks to netgalley for giving me this arc in exchange for an honest review. I literally read this so quickly. If you need a quick read to reach your goal this is the one.
This was a great short story! Although I wish it was a bit longer. That would've made it even better. Things were moving pretty fast and I couldn't really connect with the characters. But there was a cute little puppy to remedy that. Puppies make everything better!
