Some Like It Scot by Pepper Basham is a lighthearted read full of humor, romance, and lots of Scottish fun! Those who love Pepper Basham's works with adore this standalone novel that features misadventures, a sunshine-grump trope, and a sweet but subtle message.

Katie Campbell, a travel writer known for her misadventures, finds herself in Scotland to write about an immersive Edwardian experience held in an old manor house. On her first day, she literally drops into the life of Graeme MacKerrow, a grumpy Scot who has no interest in a wandering American.

However, the wandering lifestyle is starting to wear on Katie, and as she seizes the opportunity to learn more about her Scottish roots, she grows aware of her lack of belonging and begins to yearn for a home of her own ... and someone to share it with. Could a grumpy Scot be the answer to that longing?

This book was 100% clean and highly entertaining. Humor was prevalent and all of Katie's misadventures had me in stitches. The message in the story was subtle and not preachy. Overall, it was an excellent book that people will want to read over and over again.

I'm always up for anything Scottish. Some Like It Scot contained so much Scottish stuff and I learned some new things about Scotland, including what a hairy coo was (google it; they're cute little guys). Graeme and Katie's inner dialogue was lovely and while they didn't want to get involved with each other at first, that quickly changes! The message provided some depth to the story and I will be sure to read it again.

Best for teens and adults.
