Globetrotter Addie Macrae always follows her wanderlust. As a travel consultant, she jet sets around the world—anywhere but Scotland. But when she’s sent on assignment to help a struggling family-run tour company in the Highlands—and save her own job—Addie packs away her emotional baggage and turns on the professional charm.
Rugged as the land he loves, Logan Sutherland’s greatest joy is sharing the beauty of Scotland’s hidden gems…even if it means a wee bit of red ink on the company’s bottom line. The last thing Logan wants is some American “expert” pushing tourist traps and perpetuating myths about the Loch Ness Monster—especially when Addie never leaves her desk to experience the country for herself.
As they wage an office war, Logan discovers Addie’s secret connection to Scotland: a handful of faded Polaroids of her late mother. Hoping for a truce, he creates a private tour to the places in the pictures to help Addie find closure and appreciate the enchantment in less-traveled destinations, never expecting the off-limits attraction sparking between them. But Addie’s contract is almost up, and magic won’t pay the bills. They can’t afford distractions, but how can Addie do her job if she hasn’t explored all Scotland—and Logan—have to offer?

Rating: 3 Stars
My Review: This is a tale of emotional healing for Addie while getting mixed up with a sexy kilt wearing Scottish tour guide, Logan. They both have preconceived notions of the other, and of one another's intentions, that they must both work to face and overcome. There were lots of places in the book where I wanted to smack each of the characters for their actions, inactions, thoughts, or just general "grow up" sentiments. I was sick while reading this one, so not sure if my blubbering ugly crying at the end of the book was a true testament to the connections I made with the characters, or, if it was my weakened state giving in to not feeling well - either way, I get emo at the end. Some spice, some romance, more history than I would have expected, and I was surprised to enjoy this book. I would recommend it to some.

Her novels are inspired by her semester in Scotland where she fell in love with not only the lush and magical land, but also the people who invited her into their homes and made her feel like family. --This text refers to the paperback edition.
