Highland Games

I just finished Highland Games by Evie Alexander audiobook - Narrator Evie Alexander and here are my thoughts.

Zoe needs a change, so when she inherits a cabin in a remote area of Scotland, she leaves her big city life and takes off for the Scottish Highlands. Her expectations do not meet the reality and even sunshine Zoe can see this is much more than she was anticipating. The roof needs to be replaced, the door... well what door...is just the tip of the iceberg. Her uber hot neighbor has taken an instant dislike and wants her gone.

Her neighbor is a grump of a bear... Rory has the weight of the world on his shoulders trying to get Kinloch castle solvent. Now that the cabin on the land is free, he can see a place for himself except there is now a woman living in it.

Rory wants her out and he will do whatever it takes except Zoe isn't going anywhere and he is in for the fight of his life.

Firstly, I try not to listen to books narrated by the author. I find they don't do a great job of it... Evie Alexander is the exception. Her voice is magical and sucked me right in from the first sentence. She has high energy and I loved her as a narrator.

Who doesn't love grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers in a small town. That is literally the winning combo for all good romance books. This book had something else too.... It's hilarious! The witty banter had me wiping the tears from my eyes. The things they get up to... comedy gold.

So Rory wants the cabin. He's been working on fixing it up but he has no idea it was willed out. The cabin is on leased land. The things he does to try and get Zoe out... LOL!!! Zoe isn't giving in and Rory has met his match.

I love watching their feud turn to understanding, friendship then some seriously steaming scenes... oh yes, there is some beautifully crafted spice right here too. This book should check all your boxes.

I loved the writing, everything was balanced with expert skill. I am definitely gunning for book 2 now.

4.5 stars
