I love anything Scottish, I lived in the Scottish Highlands for 2 years and actually lived in Inverness (where parts of the book is set) for 6 months and visited some of the places mentioned in the book (including spending weeks in the very same hospital as one of the characters!) So this was like a little visit back to the familiar for me.
Synopsis
Sometimes life is full of surprises, especially when you least expect them…
Born into the Scottish Clan MacBain and the 17th century ancestral home, Drumblair Castle, Liv MacBain has always dreamed of leaving the ancient homestead and becoming her own person in the world of fashion.
From a young age, she worshipped the trailblazing designs of the haute couture glitterati, hoping one day to join them. With older brother Kerr, the rightful heir, Liv has been free to spread her wings.
Fast forward. Liv, is now 28 years old, working at a high-end fashion house and living her dream life in New York. She’s never been happier. Until everything changes with one devastating phone call from her brother, Kerr, that brings her rushing back to Scotland.
Old friends and adversaries resurface and Liv faces a difficult decision that could mean her dream future can no longer be a reality.
Or can you have your castle and your career?
My review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved "visiting" the places familiar to me with Olivia.
I despised her brother Kerr and felt he mostly got what he deserved (no spoilers) .
I really liked Owain, but like Olivia I too missed chemistry between them, but I'm glad they had their 'thing'
I love that she managed to hang on to her lifelong dream, maybe not how she initially thought but that's the surprising beauty of life.
I loved her found family and how supportive they are and how Brodie and Olivia put their strengths together and created something to carry them into the future.
Once again I thoroughly enjoyed a Lisa Hobman book and always look forward to any future books.
There are some trigger warnings in this book, so check those before reading it.
