We are back in the beautiful Scottish Highlands for Margaret Amatt's tenth in her Glenbriar Series, A Classy Affair in the Country. This latest novel was published on 4th October by Leannan Press.It’s hate at first sight… But he’s about to dismantle her walls brick by brick
Young heiress Ophelia Chattan-Blythe needs a miracle to save the family estate, and working with Brann Duthie –
the ruggedly handsome, popular, and extremely irritating local builder –
is not it. He may have a smile that can melt diamonds, but when he and
Ophelia hit it off on the wrong foot, she starts to hate him with a
passion.
Single-dad Brann isn’t all he seems. He’s built up a
good business, though it doesn’t stop him from being lonely. Falling for
a beautiful but stubborn heiress isn’t part of his master plan. But how
can he not find Ophelia’s serene charm and whip-like comebacks
irresistible?
As Brann and Ophelia work together, their arguments
advance to attraction, and their desires ignite. But it’s more than
Brann’s job’s worth to act on his feelings and Ophelia mustn’t, not if
she’s to secure a wealthy match and stop her family from going under. A
love this intense should be worth the fight, but constructing a happy
ending is an almost impossible task without breaking all the rules.A Classy Affair in the Country is the tenth book in The Glenbriar Series, but can be read on its own as a standalone.
Set in the highlands of Scotland in a small town with fun, romance, drama, and a guaranteed happy ending, A Classy Affair in the Country has a bit of steam and lots of heart.
The Glenbriar Series is loosely linked with the Scottish Island Escapes series which is set before this one, but you don't have to have read it to enjoy your time in Glenbriar!
My Thoughts
This is a welcome addition to the Glenbriar series and features Ophelia and in many ways her polar opposite , Brann. As the story develops, they discover that they have attitudes and opinions in common, more than they would ever have imagined. Ophelia’s family are frustrating to say the least but she has a strong sense of carrying on the traditions set by her grandparents and keeping the spirit of their legacy going.
Brann has family responsibilities too but has built up his business alongside his commitments. With family dynamics impacting on both Ophelia and Brann, they have to learn to follow their own paths and live how they want to. As always, Glenbriar is a gorgeous setting for this series and there is humour alongside the romance.
In short: can opposites attract?
About the Author
Margaret is a bestselling Scottish author and chocolate
lover who has been writing stories for over twenty years (possibly more if you
count her primary school efforts). Her early works will never see the light of
day and are locked in dusty vaults on some old floppy disks. But after all
those years of practise, Margaret released her first novel in 2021. It was the
first of a ten-book series set on the gorgeous Scottish Isle of Mull.
Margaret is also the author of the acclaimed Glenbriar
Series, based in the fictional Scottish town of Glenbriar. This is an on-going
series with more books coming in 2024 and 2025.
The stories are unashamedly romantic but with lots of drama
and an eclectic mix of characters. Each book can be read as a standalone but followers of the series
will enjoy catching up with the characters.
