This was a sweet, light-hearted romance between April, an actress coming back home to Skye after her career took a turn for the worse and her grandfather passed away leaving her the family manor, and Malcolm, a local whisky distiller running April’s late grandfathers’ distillery.
The two of them have known each other since they were kids but haven’t seen each other in a long time. It's a grumpy/sunshine romance, which I thought was well done and entertaining.
Malcolm was probably my favourite character in this. He struggles with anxiety and is quite shy, and I thought this was very well depicted, I really felt for him. I also liked that the hero was the one with anxiety here, as it’s often the heroine who struggles with that.
The romance between the main characters was cute, but unfortunately, I just didn’t really feel their connection at all. I felt like there were a few times when the story dragged pacing wise, and I was just kind of bored throughout.
Overall, I thought it was a cute slow-burn romance and I enjoyed it.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
