4 stars Scotland is a country that’s always been on my bucket list, so this was a lot of fun for me to read! It had the best small town vibes and I enjoyed the grumpy hero and Meghan Quinn’s signature humor a ton. Bonnie and her best friend Dakota decide to leave LA for a while and go to run a small coffee shop in Scotland for a few month. Bonnie especially needs some time away, to find herself and her purpose. She’s expects to spend some time with her best friend, sight see, and have fun runnin...
First half:Second half:
2.5 stars ☕️I'm a bit upset because this had a ton of potential! An enemies to lovers with a grumpy hero set in Scotland. I mean, how perfect is that?? But it just didn't deliver on a few thingsThe heroine, Bonnie, was too qUiRkY for my taste. Like we get it bitch, you eat a lot of cake and you haven't had an orgasm in a few months...I don't need to hear about it in every one of her chapters 🙄 Cake consumed today: One slice...okay two...fine, FIVE, FIVE LARGE SLICES. a few chapters later...
WHO DOESN’T LOVE A HOT SCOTSMAN?! Imagine taking a 6 month trip to Scotland with your best friend. That's exactly what Bonnie and Dakota did. The only catch is they will be working for an older couple who are taking an extended vacation and need someone to run their coffee shop. Bonnie’s best friend, Dakota found this deal and the two knew they needed a reset button on their lives. Leaving behind their busy lives in Los Angeles to live in a small quiet town in Scotland was a culture shock especi...
Meghan Quinn writes a swoony delight of grumpy Scotsman proportions. The Highland Fling made me smile, laugh, cry and swoon with its wonderfully well developed and likeable characters. Rowan is adorably grumpy while Bonnie is hilariously quirky. Their enemies to lovers banter had me in stitches. I also loved the side characters that included lifelong friendships.Other reasons why Ioved this book- Fergus the goat and the hairy coos were adorable.- The Murdach identical twins with their person
2.75 stars.
Because of this book I spent an hour trying to practice my Scottish accent, i think it’s perfect if i do say so myself. Overall an anticipated read that ended up being very underwhelming a lot of dramatics and Bonnie was slightly annoying throughout the entirety of the book. I had to pause a bunch just to assess what the fuck i’m reading. BUT if you did enjoy this it really reminded me of It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey
4 stars!I usually don’t give contemporary romance such a high rating. I’m a bit tough on this type of genre because the characterization, plot and dialogue need to be on point for me.In the case of The Highland Fling, it had all three and I ended up really liking this book!The main characters of Bonnie St. James and Rowan MacGregor were well done and got better as the book went along.In the beginning, I wasn’t sure what to think about the character of Bonnie.She was a bit much at times and "coul...
Very cute! I really enjoyed this! I’m a sucker for anything to do with Scotland, so this book was perfect. It was hilarious to the point where I couldn’t read it in public because I would laugh like a loon and people would give me the stink eye. The love story between Bonnie and Rowan was really cute. I love the whole enemies to lovers trope. I would highly recommend this if you’re in the mood for a light and fun read!
So freaking cute.Who doesn’t love a love story set in Scotland? I thought this book worked really well because while it was less steamy than some other books Quinn’s written, this one had more depth. I also liked how goofy the protagonist was, although I know some other readers found Bonnie to be a bit much. I thought she balanced really well with the other characters though, they played nicely off of each other. The relationships also faced significant conflicts, the love interest had actual ob...
*adds Scotland to bucket list*The Highland Fling is the perfect rom-com. Broody hero. Excellent banter. Slow burn. Interesting side characters. I truly loved this book. The Highland Fling follows Bonnie and her best friend, Dakota as they travel to Scotland to find themselves while working at coffee shop in a small town. Bonnie meets Rowan, a local who helps Bonnie and Dakota at his parents’ coffee shop. The relationship development between Bonnie and Rowan is slow and organic. Their banter is h...
2.5 StarsPositives: ✅ Free on Kindle Unlimited ✅ Some belly laughs✅ Scotland locale and village✅ Dakota and Isla✅ Rowan and his backstory ✅ Fergus the town goat & highland cowsNegatives:❌ Bonnie (main character) I found her so annoying. Over the top, banter that was forced, vulgar and just cringe-y. I would have really enjoyed this story with a more likable MC. My dislike for her erased all the positives. Second thing that wasn’t for me was that this book was kinda smutty. I guess that’s this au...
The fact that this small Scottish town drinks coffee more than tea irked me.I'm petty but that's the straw that broke the camel's back.It felt so shallow. Oh, you have these hiking trails/places name thrown at you, but honestly, it lacked the imagination where usually transported the readers from the seat of their couch to where the characters are in the book. It failed. It tried but oh how it terribly failed. Oh and let's talk about how QUIRKY our heroine is. It's like she slapped my face, scre...
