We are back in the beautiful Scottish Highlands for Margaret Amatt's fourteenth in her Glenbriar Series: fight ot Flirt on the Scenic Route. This latest novel was published on 15th August by Leannan Press.
She’s about to take him on a journey he never saw coming
After a couple of dreadful years, Elise Reid has finally
found success working for a coach tour operator in Glasgow. But when she’s sent
back to her hometown of Glenbriar to cover for a sick colleague, she finds
herself stuck on a coach with her ex-fiancé… plus his new wife, his stroppy
little sister, and his best friend – a man who’s always hated her.
Burnt out and searching for a break, eco-blogger and
environmental activist Gabe Wilder decides a coach tour with his best friend
would be a good way to unwind and reset. But when the tour guide shows up, Gabe
can’t believe his bad luck. He and Elise have never got on, and after what she
did to his best friend, he’s kept her at arm’s length, despite a simmering
attraction he’s never confessed to anyone – even himself.
Unfortunately, neither Elise nor Gabe’s resistance to each
other got the memo, and the more time they spend together, the more their
chemistry sizzles. But between the watchful eyes of the group and the knowledge
that this trip has an expiry date, giving in to temptation is a mistake waiting
to happen. If they want a real chance at happiness, they must stop looking
back, take a risk, and trust that sometimes, the best detours lead exactly
where they’re meant to be.
My Thoughts
This is a series which shows no signs of flagging and in this next story, we are taken on a scenic bus ride away from the town into the Highlands. This next in the series focuses on Elise who we have met in previous stories and may not have formed the best opinion of her at times. Now, you get to see inside her thoughts and to +understand how she feels about how she has acted in the past. One or two on the bus tour which she is guiding have certainly met her before and are far from pleased to find that she is back in their lives.
Gabe is hoping for a break from his blogging life and a chance to work out what he wants for his future. He is feeling jaded and ready for a change. Horror struck to meet up with Elise, you nevertheless see the chemistry between them and a friendship developing. There are some lively characters on the tour alongside them who give the story some humour at times.
You can't help but empathise with Elise as she finds herself working back near Glenbriar. She is torn between wanting to escape from people she knows and missing the friendships she has left behind. With the gorgeous Scottish scenery as a backdrop and some interesting subplots, this is an enjoyable read and good edition to the series.
In short: facing up to some home truths.
About the Author
Margaret Amatt is a bestselling Scottish author,
professional daydreamer, and certified chocolate addict. She’s been making up
stories for as long as she can remember – some of them even made it onto paper
(and, tragically, onto floppy disks that no computer can read anymore). After
two decades of writing in secret, she finally unleashed her first novel on the
world in 2021, kicking off a ten-book series set on the stunning Isle of Mull.
But why stop there? She’s also the creator of The Glenbriar
Series, where romance, small-town drama, and a pinch of spice keep readers
coming back for more. This series is still going strong, with more books
planned!
Margaret has spent her whole life in Scotland’s
breath-taking Highland Perthshire, despite her entire extended family coming
from the Glasgow area. Her books are romantic and emotional, sweet and funny,
and each one can be read as a standalone, but long-time readers know the joy of
familiar faces popping up, adding to the chaos.
So, if you love relatable characters, sizzling chemistry,
and plenty of banter, you’re in the right place – just don’t blame Margaret
when you stay up way too late reading just one more chapter.
