I am delighted to be featuring the third in Liz Hurley's The Hiverton Sisters series, High Heels in the Highlands. I thoroughly enjoyed its predecessor and you can read my review here: Cornish Dreams at Cockleshell Cottage.
Clementine’s swapped a London flat for a Scottish castle –
but will she get her fairytale ending?
After discovering they were heirs to an enormous fortune,
the lives of the five Hiverton sisters have never been the same.
While oldest sister Ariana settles in Norfolk, Clementine
heads up to the remote Scottish Highlands to move into the castle that forms
part of their estate. Not bad for a girl brought up scrabbling for money in a
tiny house in East London…
However, Clem quickly finds out that Ruacoddy Castle is
falling apart, the neighbours – especially grumpy young farmer, Rory - are
suspicious of her and the eccentric housekeeper, Ottoline, is still in
residence.
But as Clem finds herself growing closer to the village
community, even growing closer to Rory and forming an alliance with Ottoline,
she realises that life in the Highlands might just be the change she needed.
She just needs to find out if Manolo Blahnik make wellies…
Take a trip to the gorgeous Scottish countryside with this
utterly feelgood, romantic and hilarious read – fans of Jenny Colgan, Holly
Martin and Cressida McLaughlin will love this!
My Thoughts
Although you could read this as a standalone, earlier books in the series helps to establish the Hiverton Sisters' characters. They are all so different. This is Clementine's story and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a lovely, warm tale with family at the centre and all the sisters seem so grounded. Life in Ruacoddy Castle is never dull and there are also a wide range of locals who come and go. It all makes for a very lively story.
As you discover, Clementine has her own vulnerabilities but her creative side lights up the book. Her personality is larger than life, despite her small stature and she does not suffer fools gladly, that's for sure. Clementine's kind heart makes her a lively central figure, despite any flaws she thinks she sees in herself. Otto, the housekeeper, has some huge surprises to deliver and there is certainly the feeling of starting again for several characters. Each of the series seems to be filled with the personality of one of the sisters. I can't wait to see whose story we will hear next.
In short: A warm uplifting story
