Ready for a new adventure? An incredible travel romance? Check out The Stars of Scotland!

A single mom. A Scottish television star. What if a vacation in Scotland changes everything?

You’ll enjoy this romance if you like:

💕 Slow burn, second chance romance
🧳 Travel and road trip fun
🎥 Outlander inspired TV show
🌟 Kilted Scottish MMC actor with a sexy brogue
♥️ Single mom female FMC with her own dreams and self-discovery
🏰 Castles
😍 Celebrity romance
💝 Strong female friendships
🌲 Gorgeous Scottish setting
🌶️ 🌶️ spice/heat
💕And a very happily ever after

Blurb: Following a painful divorce, budding memoirist, Brielle Finlay Hunter, devoted herself to rebuilding her young children’s lives. Knowing the kids are in good hands, she embarks on a surprise birthday adventure to Scotland. When she slams into sexy Scotsman, Bryce Fraser, sparks fire—yet she’s unaware he’s a famous television star.

Fans have fallen for Bryce’s kilt-clad highland warrior, while violating his real-life privacy. Yet, like the raw, untamed realism Scotland offers, he’s keen to find something real. Brie is a breath of spring air, and they launch into a whirlwind romance that neither expected. But fame is never far behind, nor baggage from previous betrayals, and they both must return to their real lives. Will they have the courage to trust in love again…or will they say goodbye forever?

When a talented romance author decides to share her own love story, she’s crafted an offering that shouldn’t be missed ❤️

You already know her from her acclaimed Scottish Stars series, but @ericamaebooks has now courageously written a memoir that details how her marriage survived devastating hardship.

Most romances share the butterflies in the beginning and the starry-eyed promise of happily ever after.

THE WORDS BETWEEN US shows what it takes for two people to keep those vows. Because the choice to stay can be the hardest one.

I’m delighted to follow @ericamaebooks in her journey to bring her powerful memoir to publication & I know you will be, too 😊. Will you join me in spreading the word?

And if you have a favorite memoir you’ve read recently (particularly one with a compelling romance 💕), I’d love to hear about it 🤗

❤️ Book Review ❤️

Reckless by @authorelsiesilver

Love is a gift and worth fighting for. Author, Elsie Silver, reminded me of this with her beautiful book. 💕

I absolutely loved this story! A sexy, young bull rider. A frigid doctor escaping a broken marriage. A secret night. And a positive pregnancy test. But there’s so much more to each of their stories, and I loved the fire when they first meet as well as the sweet moments later, including when Theo steps up to be the dad and partner Winter needs. My heart broke when Winter tells Theo she’s never known love until she had their daughter. But love is wondrous, and this book shows the power of love. It’s also so sexy and fun!! Yes, their relationship started with a steamy one-night stand, but when they become a family, it’s absolutely beautiful. And the supporting cast is hilarious, including all the ladies! Five ⭐️ stars. Highly recommend!

I’ve read the entire Chestnut Spring series the last month. If you like cowboys, small town romance, spice (phew!), and family and friendship themes, pick up this series. Reckless was one of my favorites.

Have you read this series? Which was your favorite?

Writing a scene for my upcoming enemies to lovers romance, Beneath the Starlight, while my husband is at physical therapy. 💕

There’re many elements in my MMC, Hugh Macrae, that are similar to my husband. His strength. His protective nature. His passion. His commitment to his family. And his desire to be a better man.

How has your spouse/partner inspired something in your life?

My Real-life Love Story 💕

I just queried an amazing agent who loved my memoir pitch during a threads pitch contest!! 🥰

This vulnerable, beautiful memoir is my very own second chance love story. I was waiting to send until I heard back from my final beta reader—and now it’s time! 💕Send all the amazing vibes! I’m so excited.

Pitch:
Life as my husband and I knew it changed when he endured a life-altering accident in the 108-degree Las Vegas heat. It changed us from lovers and beloved to patient and caregiver, and raging Hulk and family peacekeeper, nearly severing our marriage and tearing apart our small family. For fans of The VOW, LOVE WARRIOR, and You Could Make this Place Beautiful, THE WORDS BETWEEN US, is a vulnerable & beautiful memoir about love, faith, & second chances, revealing that even with loss, you can find love again & beauty in the unexpected.
