A little while ago I received a review request for ‘Highland Games’ by Evie Alexander. And when I read the book description, I immediately got super excited. I love romance stories, and who doesn’t love a book set in the Scottish Highlands? I sure do. And as fast as I could I started reading.
In ‘Highland Games’ we meet Zoe. Zoe has left her life in London behind to live in a shabby cabin she inherited by her uncle in the middle of the Scottish Highlands. Zoe has always been the one who played it safe. She had a respectable job, and did everything her parents wanted. But it’s time for a change. And boy did she get what she wanted.
When she moves to the little cabin, she didn’t expect it to be in such a rough shape. And to make things worse, a very big, incredible handsome Scottish guy is telling her she needs to leave. But Zoe has no intention of leaving. She is determined to make the cabin livable again.
‘Highland Games’ was definitely a book that excelled all my expectations. From the moment I started reading I was completely hooked to this book. Not only do we get a great hot romance story, set in Scotland.. This book also really made me laugh out loud several times. I just had such a blast reading it, I couldn’t put it down.
The two main characters Zoe and Rory definitely had some great chemistry. And I just loved everything about them. They are complete opposites, and they mostly irritate each other.. which made this read a lot of fun. Especially since this book is written through both their point of views. I loved reading both their thoughts.
My favorite character was definitely Zoe. She was a character I could easily relate too, which made it even more fun to read about her. Although at first she seems to be a very introvert person, she had some really unexpected feisty remarks at times and they really made me laugh. Add the way she just gave up everything to move to Scotland, and didn’t give up when everything seemed to go wrong.. She is my example in life for sure! LOL!!
And not to forget about my new favorite little character Basil. Loved him! And you definitely need to read about him!
‘Highland Games’ was a great read I loved from start till finish. I definitely recommend this book if your into the romance genre. Evie Alexander is definitely an author to keep an eye on.

This steamy romantic comedy is the first book in the Kinloch series. I’m thrilled to bring you this excerpt where Zoe is visited by some unexpected guests…
If you’re looking for a romance novel with a fiery heroine, a Scottish god, a cabin, a castle, and enough heat to warm the coldest Scottish winter, then Highland Games is for you. With a supporting cast of two and four legged friends, you’ll be laughing, swooning, and cheering for more.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. Opinions are my own.
