Book Review: A Highland Homestead Christmas

 

***This story is also part of the Willow Glen series with the same title****

Mharie:
I’ve worked my whole life for this internship in Scotland, and I never planned on staying in Piper Falls forever. But Henry’s homestead is mine now, and with it comes the weight of his legacy—and a step-uncle determined to steal it out from under me.
When the pressure builds and the town starts whispering, Patrick Williams—gruff, bossy, maddeningly charming—steps in with one hell of a lie: I’m his fiancée.
Now we’re fake-engaged through Christmas, juggling holiday events, suspicious neighbors, and a Highland cow with a mischievous streak a mile wide. The town’s falling for our story. The real problem? I might be falling too.

Patrick:
I came to Texas for a cow, not a fiancée.
But pretending to be Mharie’s fiancé seemed like the simplest way to shut down her scummy uncle and buy her some time. Trouble is, the more I learn about this fiery woman and her stubborn little town, the less I want to leave.
She’s got one foot out the door. I’m starting to wonder if I should hold it open…or find a way to make her stay.




My Review

This is a fun and charming read. I felt for Mharie. She was at a crossroads regarding either going with her heart or what felt right. It seemed like others were against her. So it was nice of Patrick to step up and want to protect Mharie. What started out as a "fake engagement", slowly turned into a real relationship. 


I loved the addition of the cute highland cow. You can never go wrong with featuring adorable animals in stories. This book did give me a nice holiday feel/vibe. As I was invested in the characters good and bad, this book turned out to me a fast read.
