About this audiobook
The sight of Iain MacLaren wakes her up. Clad in a deliciously woolly sweater, the burly Scotsman seems to be holding up a wall at the cocktail party. So Kathie makes her move . . . and winds up stark naked with him in bed, where his thick Scottish brogue, thick manly chest, and thick . . . other parts . . . drive her to do things she's never done before. Like fall in love.
And if things aren't moving fast enough-and on the wrong side of the road, no less-Kathie is about to visit Iain's sheep farm in the Scottish Highlands and meet his sons. She's feeling a wee bit nervous. Because she can't tell where this mad affair is going-except north.
Katie MacAlister
Growing up in a family where a weekly visit to the library was a given, Katie MacAlister spent much of her time with her nose buried in a book. When she was contracted to write a nonfiction book about software, her editor refused to allow her to include witty dialogue or love scenes, so Katie swiftly resolved to switch to fiction, in which she could indulge in world building, tormenting her characters, and falling madly in love with all her heroes. Her novels have been translated into numerous languages, been recorded as audiobooks, received several awards, and are regulars on the New York Times, USA TODAY, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. She also writes for the young adult audience as Katie Maxwell. Katie lives in the Pacific Northwest. You can visit her website at KatieMacAlister.com.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A couple of bits were very funny, but overall: bleah. A city woman is going to dump her life and move to a Scot's croft because of his accent? Please.I do give her some points for accurately showing the difficulties of farm life, though.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I haven't hated a book this much in YEARS. Right from the jump, Kathie frustrated me with how she responded to meeting Iain. I hung in there bc I thought her character would mature with time, OR I'd find the humorous parts of the book that everyone ranted about. But alas, no such luck. Pity. I eventually got to a point where I was so over every single character in this substandard plot that I quit. (& I never quit.) I skipped to the last chapter, just for closure. And even how long it took to get to the point at the end made my blood boil. I will neeeeeeever read/listen to another ANYTHING written by this author. I'm so irritated that this book was even suggested to me.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Kathie William, a mystery fiction writer , heads to England for a writers conference. During the conference she meets up with the most handsome and enticing man she has ever met in her lonely life. Kathie has never been one to take physical attraction lightly, she will get emotionally involved. After sharing a passionate night with this enticing stranger, she knows that she wants to spend as much time with him as she possibly can, never knowing if it will last or not. At first Kathie assumes that for him this is just a fling, but for Kathie, her emotions are definitely involved. Then she goes up to Scotland with Iain to this sheep farm and to meet his two sons. At this point all Kathie really knows is that she is falling for this Scot. Despite the fact that things are looking bright for them both, there are always obstacles in their path of true happiness, that will surely test them, but will it destroy or only make their bond that much stronger?If I had to say one phrase of what this book was it would be "A Breath of Fresh Air", and I definitely had a hard time putting this one down, and I was on VACATION lol. So it definitely was one that I loved and definitely could be considered a re read for sure. I really enjoyed reading Katie MacAlister, her writing is so sexy yet fun too, that anyone can enjoy themselves reading her books. Both Kathie and Iain were both a delight to get to know throughout this fun fun story, and also I loved the surrounding as well. I have always loved reading anything that takes place in Scotland. I don't get to read too many modern romances that take place with the Scots. So its always fun to read these kind of stories. I don't read too many contemporaries, I am more of a fan of historical and the paranormal, and a bit time travel. But there are a few contemporary authors that I really enjoy reading from, and Katie MacAlister is definitely one of those! Also one other aspect I truly loved about reading this book, is that Kathie and Iain are so very different, definitely takes a new meaning to "opposites attract". Imagine if you will, a true born Scot, that comes into a relationship with a modern American woman, there is definitely misunderstandings that will definitely occur between this couple, but its way amusing to watch these two interact with one another.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a delightful romp of a book. The author has a great sense of peppery, ribald humor, and a good understanding of what makes a reader thrill to hear in a blossoming romance. The only thing that vaguely lacked about the book was the feeling that it was four different types of book squeezed into one, probably because the chick-lit novel usually only takes us into the period when the heroine wins the love of her man, whereas this one continued into the quest for a marriage proposal, then the wedding, then some mystery/tragedy, and a last jab at chick rivalry before a happy ending... made it feel like several books (and lasted almost a year, also not the norm). But not a deal-breaker, by any means. Fun and sexy.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5You'd think that a book called Men In Kilts would be a home run for me, loving Scots the way I do, but this one is in the DNF pile, sadly. Her view of sex and relationships was ridiculous. :(
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I found myself having to put the book down to laugh. Not a little laugh, but one of those that laughs where you end up with the hiccups. Kathie Williams is, as the old folks would say, a hoot. It’s as if I knew her personally. So many of her trials hit home. Yes, I’ve fallen asleep and drooled. Not to the point she did, but it happened. Katie MacAlister allows the reader to climb into Kathie’s head for a rollercoaster ride that will leave you breathless with tear-stained cheeks. The characters are straight out of the family closet. You know the ones you only talk about with other family members. Topping the list is Bridget, the neighbor. Iain’s first wife Mary. His son Archie….And then there’s Miracle. She and her family have immigrated from Canada. Personally I think they were kicked out for being odd.
