Kilt Trip by Alexandra Kiley

Light, fun, and fueled my continued interest in being able to head abroad and find a love story all my own. I really enjoyed the storyline too. Evolving within the travel industry and the tension between hanging onto family tradition and modernization.

Thank you NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing & Alexandra Kiley for this ARC copy of Kilt Trip!

For someone who has always wanted to visit Scotland and also am a romcom girl at heart, this book is for you! This book immediately immerses you into the scenery and makes you want to book your flight to Scotland immediately... especially is Logan is your tour guide!

The chemistry between Addie and Logan is incredible and is a perfect from enemies to lovers book!

From the minute I saw the name and the cover I knew I wanted to read this book. Kilt Trip? Sign me up.

Addie a consultant for travel tours? Something I didn’t know existed but I’m dying from envy of her dream job. Her next project is making a tour company in Scotland profitable. Which seems a little easier when she meets the tall, kilt wearing Scotsman running the tour.

Logan, the aforementioned Scotsmen is instantly drawn to Addie. Because duh, this is a romance novel and we all dream we would meet a hunky tour guide who instantly falls in love with us. He’s none to pleased by her tourist deception and not really interested in the ideas she has to make the tours turn a profit. He hopes that by taking her on a tour to connect with her past he can make her fall in love with Scotland.

But can our jet setting, world traveling Addie fall in love with not just Scotland, but Logan also?

Thank you HTP, NetGalley and Canary Press for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

I did like this book well enough. But it was just okay. I don't feel any genuine spark between the couple. I thought the MMC constantly comparing the FMC to a selkie was weird and cringe. Neither of the two leads has the emotional intelligence to be in a relationship. He kept trying desperately to change her to fit what he wanted and expecting her to go along with the narrative for them he formed in his own mind simply cause he loved her. And she took no responsibility for her own B.S., has no clue how to form any sort of healthy attachments, and allowed her emotional issues to control her. I cannot believe two people like that could ever be in a healthy and genuinely long lasting partnership. I think my biggest issue was the FMC's lack of inner work. The kind of pain and trauma she has been through isn't something you just snap out of because you found an incredible man to love you. She needed YEARS of intensive therapy and all of that was very glossed over in favor of a happy ending. And her dad did royally mess up with her but we see him face no real penality for it. She was a child and he was the care giver but we are supposed to believe that Logan's love was enough to help her move past that in order to give her dad a second chance?? I couldn't suspend my disbelief enough to go along with this.
