Review:

A Highlander Walks into a Bar by Laura Trentham is full of humor, action, and romance. Inside, readers will find sexy as hell Highlanders wearing kilts. They protect and defend those they love. A nephew out to protect his uncle from being taking advantage of ends up bringing an unforeseen problem to the ladies. His uncle falls for an American woman and agrees to come to her to help her with festivities. Only he ends up falling deeper in love with her. But there comes a time, when his secret and lies will need to come out…and when they do, will they lose everything they gained?

Both mother and daughter have been through a loss. Recently, losing a father isn’t easy for Izzy. Neither is it easy for her mom to be lonely. They both needed someone to open up their hearts to joy again. These Scots have a way of making one laugh so hard. Especially, when the young nephew decides to win a bunch of Scottish games to win his woman’s heart. Only he had it all the time…same with his uncle who is an Earl. It was funny to watch how both men almost came to the knees begging for forgiveness. Forgiveness was a huge theme in this romantic comedy. The mothers in this book added spice, wisdom, and humor to the plot. I really enjoyed following this cast of characters as they made messes both career wise and emotionally.
