A nerdy wallflower recruits her athlete roommate to give her love lessons As a Highland Games athlete and firefighter, I’m used to women trying to get under my kilt. But I never expected to be propositioned by my bookworm roommate. Casey’s one of my best friends and my buddy’s younger sister. What am I supposed to do when she confesses that she’s on a mission to lose her virginity—and I’m the guy she trusts to do the deed? If I say no, she’ll only turn to another dude instead. Someone’s got to keep her out of trouble, so I agree to give her some hands-on experience. A little friends-with-benefits action shouldn’t be a problem. I can teach Casey how to bring a man to his knees and still keep things platonic. Uh, yeah. Small problem. The more boxes we check off on Casey’s lesson plan, the more I realize I’ve taught her too well. Because the man she’s bringing to his knees is me. KILT TO ORDER is a sizzling small town brother's best friend romcom that features a found family of muscly men in kilts, a spunky booknerd virgin, a protective playboy roommate who agrees to be her love coach, and a guaranteed HEA for these two adorable friends to lovers.

This was a cute and fun story. I loved the characters, although I didn't quite understand Casey's nervous tick and think it could have been explained more, plus it kind of just disappeared. Gareth was swoony even with his own hang ups. The progression the characters go through was shown really well. I do think the book dragged on a little and it was often difficult to know the age of the characters, especially the side characters. This is one of those books that will be a comfort read for people because it is an easy happy-go-lucky read.
Callie Dalton and Lee Samuels were perfection. They were such a joy to listen to. Their voices complement each other perfectly.
Side note. The title and cover may make you think this book contains Scottish characters, and you'll hear some Scottish accents. That is not the case. A small portion of the book is set around Highlands Games. Hence the play with the title and cover. Personally, for me it wasn't enough of a central part for it to warrant it.
Friends-to-lovers is one of my favorite tropes, and books like Kilt to Order are why. I adore how much Casey and Gareth care for each other, and how it shows both in small details as well as grand(er) gestures, long before they are ready to admit that they are head over heels for each other... le sighle swoon Add to that some trademark Crowder quirkiness and meddling friends and family, and it's another winner for me! More, please?
