Thank you NetGalley, Pepper Basham, and Thomas Nelson Fiction for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

WHIT A BRAW READ 💚💚!!! I am overwhelmed with JOY to have found a new favorite author whose words speak straight to my heart!! I went into this book with no idea how much it would mean to me. It became a quiet kind of magic that is gentle, powerful, and unforgettable. I cannot stop thinking about it, and I truly can't recommend it enough!! With unwavering confidence and heartfelt pride, I can say this book has earned its place on my list of favorites for 2025!!

What an utterly delightful and heartwarming Scottish romance! This beautifully written tale had me smiling, swooning, laughing, and even shedding a few tears along the way. The witty banter, the sense of found family, and the presence of a grumpy yet endearing Scot in a kilt made for an unforgettable read.

The story is rich with misadventures of a spirited heroine, tender moments, and swoon-worthy kisses. The inclusion of a delightful boy and his loyal dog 🐶 , Wedge, adds an extra layer of charm. The community's women's knitting club offers both comfort and camaraderie, weaving threads of friendship and faith throughout the story.

This novel is a testament to the idea that sometimes, stepping out of one's comfort zone and embracing the unknown can lead to the most profound discoveries. In addition, the story is about facing one's past, understanding that running away doesn't shield the heart, and the healing journey toward finding where the heart truly belongs. It's a story that lingers, like the echo of bagpipes across the glen, leaving the reader both uplifted and yearning for more. It's a perfect blend of humor, emotion, and romance that stays with you long after the last page.

I wholeheartedly recommend this Scottish romance and it deserves all the stars!! I'm eagerly looking forward to exploring more of Basham's captivating tales.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
