opportunity arises to escape her London home, and make some money working a
fancy event at a stately home, she jumps at it.
Determined to make the most out of the situation, she
decides a road trip to the Scottish Highlands would be the perfect way to reset
and take control of her life.
When devilishly handsome Evan finds himself stranded at the
event following a cancelled flight to Scotland, Daisy does the kindest thing
she can think of and invites him to join her. As they embark on their journey
north, will the scenic trip help them rediscover themselves, and possibly even
find something they weren’t expecting
My Thoughts
Daisy is such a likeable character. Having suffered a poor theatre review, she has decided to take solace in the Highlands at her grandfather's home. However, her journey there is far from the quiet one she had planned. She finds herself driving Evan, who she has met at a function she was waitressing at. He manages to persuade her to take him in her car as he also lives not far from her childhood home. The journey there is eventful and with lots of humour, showing Daisy's kind but also impulsive side.
Arriving near her destination, Daisy finds herself stranded for a few days at Evan's family home and meets his quirky family. This opens up quite a few opportunities for her. She meets some interesting people and finds herself helping the family with a rather exciting project. Her friendships with both Evan and his unconventional brother blossom before she manages eventually to reach her grandfather. The setting is lovely amd just right for an escapist read which delights with its characters, fast paced plot, romance and humour.
In short: unexpected events open up new horizons
