Wild Scottish Rose by Tricia O'Malley

4.0

Wild Scottish Rose is the 4th book in The Enchanted Highlands series. I read it as a stand alone, but still was able to become invested in the world and the characters. After having enough with the high stress of the wedding industry, florist Shona decides she wants to focus her gardening skills on smaller events that aren't as micromanaged like weddings and rent out her extra property.
Living in the Highlands for her whole life, Shona is surprised when suddenly her garden gnome starts talking to her and everything seems to have a little extra magic in it, especially when a tourist ends up capsizing his boat just outside of the towns hidden island.
When Shona gets her first tenant for a whole month, she is overwhelmed and feels unprepared, especially when she sees then tenant is a man around her age named Owen who is set on exploring the magic on the island through a new film documentary.
Owen is a filmmaker taking time off to find inspiration before going to work on his next film. When his good friend capsizes his boat, something odd is happening and Owen wants to be the one to find out about it and share it with the world.
I quite enjoyed this book. It had a wide range of characters and a lot of interesting side plots that only added to Shona and Owen's main story. I would recommend this book for anyone looking to read about the real world with a hit of organized magic and a good slowish burn romance.
