Opposites
attract in this modern-day fairytale when American, Sophie MacKnight,
inherits a Scottish castle along with a hot grumpy Scotsman who is
tasked with training her to be a magickal knight before the Kelpies
wreak havoc on the people of Loren Brae.
The knight was supposed to be a man.
Not me, Sophie MacKnight, a marketing associate from California.
This
must be a practical joke that the Scots play on visiting Americans.
Because otherwise I’ve inherited a haunted castle in Scotland, along
with one irritatingly sexy Scotsman, who would be delighted if I turned
tail and ran.
Frankly, I thought I would fly here, sell the heap
of bricks, and head back home to a life that I…well, I was comfortable
with at the very least. Instead, the people of Loren Brae are in
trouble, and it appears that as the new owner of the castle, I’m next in
line to reinstate the magickal Order of Caledonia. Which means, first, I
have to learn to believe in magick. And secondly, I have to train to
become a knight.
And my trainer? None other than Lachlan
Campbell, the grumpiest man I’ve ever had the annoyance of meeting. It’s
a toss-up who is pricklier, Lachlan, or his kilted Chihuahua, Sir
Buster. Not only does Lachlan think that I can’t hack it, but he also
resents my claim on his castle.
If only he didn’t look so devastatingly hot in his kilt.
Now, I’m stuck proving myself to him, all while trying to figure out how to help my new friends in Loren Brae.
Sparks fly as our swords meet, and we battle our rising attraction for each other.
Who will win in this (Highland) game of love? 
MY REVIEW- I GIVE IT 5 STARS
This book was outstanding.
This is the first book that I've ever listened to on any app. I did try it twice before and hated it. It was distracting, made it hard to get into the story and I quickly lost interest in the book that I wanted to read so much !!! Not so, with this book. Why?
The people were SO interesting, read with good cheerful, expressive voices. Making it impossible to lose the thread or my place in the reading of it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The grumpy chihuahua was a delight in all his ways even in his small kilt !!!
Sophie McKnight was a Delight ! I think this is my title now !!! Her accent, her voice expressions,my ability to relate to her so easily ! And her off and on romance with Lachlan Campbell, Moody man? Yes, also a delight in his accent and his unusual ways !
All of the other supporting characters were a delight as well. Sophie unusual close man friend was funny but also smart. And it was easy to "see" that !!
All in all a winner! And it made me want to read more about Sophie and Ireland and of course how things go with Sophie and Lachlan Campbell.
