Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.
Highlands Christmas is a cozy, fast holiday novella. While I enjoyed learning about the food and customs mentioned in the story, the writing felt flat to me. Even in a novella, depth and richness can be had but it didn’t work for me in this book. The encounters between Melissa and Colin were cute but I didn’t feel their chemistry. I was also incredibly frustrated by Melissa’s ignoring red flags and her naïveté.
