Description from Publisher:
IT’S TIME TO FLIRT WITH A MAN IN A KILT

Cassie Crow, a pop-culture reporter for a TV talk show, is focused on becoming a “serious” journalist. But when she stumbles into a kilted Highlander with a killer accent, Cassie decides that taking one night off from work and spending it with a sexy Scot couldn’t hurt. . .

Logan Reid has built a career on his charm, hosting a series of off-the-wall hijinks on the Web. But when the Scottish prankster meets the all-American, equal parts intelligent and irresistible Cassie, Logan realizes that one night of fun won’t be enough. Could it be that this career-focused, commitment-phobic couple is finally ready to take a chance at true and lasting love?

My Rating:
Heat Rating:

This was so much fun! Logan was kind of amazing. I adored his mischievousness and humor, but also his sweetness, and the fact that he was willing to open himself up to being vulnerable. The accent, which I had no problem hearing in my head, didn't hurt either!
Cassie was well-rounded enough as well, and made for a nice contrast to Logan. I loved how she was able to call Logan out on things, and appreciated her own sense of humor, and her strength.

I will say that this felt more like it should have been a duet, with a bit of a lull between the end of vacation and the beginning of real life. I would have enjoyed more fleshing out there in a separate book.

I feel it did a great job and some 4th wall breaking, especially in the last third. I loved all of the friends and family, and look forward to more of the series!

She met her future husband in that most romantic of places—the mall—when they were teenagers working in stores across the hall from each other. Today, they live happily ever after in the magical land midway between Chicago and Milwaukee with their two redhead daughters, a dog that’s more like a small horse, and a pair of hermit crabs.

Now she writes smart and funny contemporary romance and moonlights as an audiobook narrator under the pseudonym, Evelyn Eibhlin.
