About the Book:

For Bailey McArthur, her family and job mean everything. She runs her own floristry shop and loves spending time in nature in the pretty town of Heather Moore, whilst desperately trying to forget about being jilted on her wedding day.

When journalist Zach Stern arrives in town asking questions about a famous actor, Bailey decides to throw him off the trail of the superstar hiding out in the Scottish Highlands.

But despite Bailey’s efforts to thwart Zach’s investigation, she finds herself falling for him. It’s just a shame she can’t be honest with him. But then, Bailey might not be the only one with a secret to hide…

My Review:

This was a lovely story to escape into for a few hours. While this is book seven in the Scottish Escape series, each book stands on its own, so readers can jump in at any point in the series. 

The writing was vivid, especially the descriptions of the small town of Heather Moore in the transformation from Fall to Christmas. I could easily imagine the scenes in my mind and wished I could travel to Bailey’s cute apartment over her flower shop. 

Bailey’s growth and transformation as a character was fun to watch. She’s such a likable character. I love her commitment to her shop and her friends.  The spark between Zach and Bailey was sweet and was just the right amount of romance for this story. 

Readers looking for a cozy love story will enjoy this inspiring armchair travel.
