Book Review: A Highlander Walks into a Bar

A Highlander Walks into a Bar by Laura Trentham

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Izzy and her mom carry on the tradition of the Highland games in their small Georgia town each year, and this year’s festival is fast approaching. As Izzy arrives at the airport to pick up her mom, she soon finds out that her mom has brought back a “souvenir” from Scotland! Has Izzy’s mom lost her mind? She has brought home a gentleman friend from Scotland who Izzy is sure is after her families money. Izzy is convinced this is a total scam and she must do something to stop it.

Alasdair gets a disturbing call from his mother that his uncle from Scotland has taken up with an American woman who must be after their family’s money and title. Alasdair is convinced that he must stop this budding romance before things get too serious. He quickly takes a trip to Georgia to find his uncle.

Izzy and Alasdair are both determined to protect their families. What they don’t see coming is the sparks that start flying whenever they are together. Izzy is a firecracker and she is taking shots at Alasdair whenever she can. She is one determined young woman. Alasdair is keeping a family secret that he is not so sure anymore that it’s a good idea.

This story by Laura Trentham had all the key components. It was funny, witty, sad and heartfelt. It was so cleverly written with the two budding romances side by side. The slight twists and turns in the story have you guessing right until the end of the book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story and will definitely be waiting for Laura’s next book. Thank you to St. Martin’s press, Laura Trentham and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was a fabulous read.
