4.5

Book Title: Through the Glen Author: Samantha Young 

Series: The Highlands #3

Star Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫   Steam Rating:🌶️🌶️🌶️

Sarah is the shy housemaid we’ve seen around Ardnoch, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from her but I was pleasantly surprised. She’s been hiding a big secret, she’s a super popular crime author. 

Theo is a cynical, arrogant but famous director, who I really wasn’t expecting to like but he’s got this hidden soft side that has me falling for him immediately. When Sarah approaches him about him bringing her book series to life, it doesn’t go well. 

Sarah ends up moving out to a little cottage to get a fresh start. She never expected Theo to show up, after reading and loving her books, at her doorstep with the intent to write her screenplay together. But what happens when after weeks spent in their cozy cottage, they go into the real world? Will they be able to maintain their relationship or will their pasts come back to threaten their lives?

I absolutely loved watching these two fall for each other! I never expected Theo to have such a soft side but he could be so sweet! And I loved that Sarah came more out of her shell because of Theo and his teasing. They had great banter, she wasn’t going to take his shit and I loved that!

The chemistry between them was 🔥🥵 so hot! Sarah was very inexperienced but Theo was more than willing to show her everything. 

I really loved how they were there for each, Sarah was still grieving over her grandfather and Theo was hiding his pain from his mother’s death and horrible treatment from his father, but they were able to confide in each other and start to heal. Though it took a lot more for Theo to work through his issues and he definitely fucked up a few times but you could see how much Sarah meant to him. And Sarah held her own during those moments, she knew her worth and made Theo work to get her trust back. 

And it wouldn’t be a SY book without some suspense. I enjoyed how this one played out,  kept me guessing till the end!

A definite must read for any lovers of small town romance with the perfect amount of suspense! 

I am kicking myself for not reading this sooner! I had totally meant to but life and my mood readerness got in the way 🙄😅
