gorgeous and the blurb so intriguing that I had to read it. \u00a0While I had some issues with it, overall this is a light, funny, and enjoyable read.<\/p>\n<p>While wandering off on a tour of a Scottish castle, Cassie stumbles upon a man done up in Highlander gear &#8211; and ends up kissing him. \u00a0Turns out it&#8217;s part of a skit meant to boost the female viewership of Logan&#8217;s internet show. \u00a0If Logan can show that he can attract that demographic, he&#8217;s basically guaranteed a show on a major US network. \u00a0But Cassie refuses to sign the waiver, fearing it would compromise her job as a reporter back in Chicago, leading Logan to basically hunt her down. \u00a0One thing leads to another, and soon Logan&#8217;s questioning which is more important &#8211; his electric chemistry with Cassie, or the waiver.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cCassie thought what she\u2019d wanted was a one-night stand, had believed the experience of a hot night of foreign action would fill that place in her that, <em>for years<\/em>, had sat waiting, wanting more . . . needing more. But tonight, this perfect shining jewel of a night with Logan, <em>this<\/em> was what she\u2019d been waiting for. This was the souvenir she\u2019d craved, and the memory she would keep with her always.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My absolute favorite thing about Cassie was that she was a romance reader herself. \u00a0I also liked Cassie&#8217;s career-mindedness, and I really enjoyed all the parts related to that and how she was trying to go from covering &#8220;fluff&#8221; to more serious topics. \u00a0Her tenacity was another trait I admired, especially how she turned a bad situation into a win for herself. \u00a0On the complete opposite spectrum,\u00a0Logan&#8217;s a prankster at heart, and that, and his love for his family, was rather endearing to me. \u00a0It also makes him a bit of a Peter Pan, though, willing to live in the now and ignore the future, and that includes things like making commitments. \u00a0Despite good reasons for his &#8220;seize the day&#8221; mentality, he was, at times, so seriously dismissive of Cassie&#8217;s feelings that I had a hard time with him. \u00a0Those reasons also made him desperate to prove himself with his show, a trait he shared with Cassie that led to their main conflict.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMaybe that was what Cassie needed to find\u2014a hearty meal to sustain her, one with enough spice to keep things interesting. A relationship with a man she could look to build a life with, not a fling with a sexy Scot who had the potential to screw up her plans before she even got the chance to execute them.<br \/>\nLogan wasn\u2019t an appetizer\u2014he was dessert\u2014sweet and sinful and totally bad for her.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And that&#8217;s where my main issue with the book comes in. \u00a0While I felt like their conflict was very realistic &#8211; who hasn&#8217;t had to deal with career vs relationship? &#8211; I felt like they did a poor job communicating about it. \u00a0Neither person had much previous experience with romantic relationships, and it really showed. \u00a0Logan was reluctant to tell Cassie exactly why he&#8217;s so desperate to get that particular clip on the air, and Cassie also didn&#8217;t seem willing to explain why that would be so bad for her career (though, for that part, I think Logan would&#8217;ve understood immediately if he hadn&#8217;t been so immature). \u00a0I just wanted them to sit down and talk it out, and by the time they actually did, it was the end of the book. \u00a0It felt a bit like they were going around in circles, and it made parts of the book move pretty slowly for me.<\/p>\n<p>I also had a minor quibble with the whole premise behind the book. \u00a0The multi-country trip is a result of a decade-old pact by a group of friends from college. \u00a0The five friends all agreed to take a trip five years after graduating college to five European countries. \u00a0The, well, upper-class-ness of this was a bit eyebrow-raising for me. \u00a0How many people in their late twenties are able to take that much time off from work, let alone afford the contemporary equivalent of a grand tour? \u00a0Oh, also, due to one of the friends&#8217; family connections, they get to stay for free in a series of posh hotel suites. \u00a0I think most readers will appreciate the escapist quality of it all, but it added a layer of disconnect for me.<\/p>\n<p>While the trip didn&#8217;t sit well with me, I did enjoy the secondary characters. \u00a0Logan&#8217;s family was a high point of the book for me, especially Janet. \u00a0I also liked Cassie&#8217;s friends, though\u00a0I&#8217;ll be honest &#8211; I kept getting them confused. \u00a0I think this is an effect of having so many characters that need to be introduce, since it is the first in a series. \u00a0There were times, though, that I was almost more interested in Cassie&#8217;s friend Bonnie and Logan&#8217;s friend Theo (and all <em>The Little Mermaid<\/em> jokes), who are, naturally, the starring couple in the next book.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, while I did enjoy the book, the communication issues were a problem for me, enough to drop it down a star. \u00a0If that&#8217;s not something that bothers you, I think you&#8217;re going to a have a great time with this book. \u00a0Despite that, I&#8217;m very interested in the next book, especially since Bonnie and Theo are the next couple!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Content warnings: I&#8217;m not a big fan of Scottish or highlander romances, but the cover was so gorgeous and the blurb so intriguing that I had to read it. \u00a0While I had some issues with it, overall this is a light, funny, and enjoyable read.
