One of the first things that caught my eye about this book is the title. It’s humorous and fun, plus it could be taken in multiple ways.
But what started as a great title turned into a wonderful story that touched my heart. Check out my thoughts on this review below.

OVERVIEW:
Ready or Scot…
Globetrotter Addie Macrae always follows her wanderlust. As a travel consultant, she jet sets around the world—anywhere but Scotland. But when she’s sent on assignment to help a struggling family-run tour company in the Highlands—and save her own job—Addie packs away her emotional baggage and turns on the professional charm.
Rugged as the land he loves, Logan Sutherland’s greatest joy is sharing the beauty of Scotland’s hidden gems…even if it means a wee bit of red ink on the company’s bottom line. The last thing Logan wants is some American “expert” pushing tourist traps and perpetuating myths about the Loch Ness Monster—especially when Addie never leaves her desk to experience the country for herself.
As they wage an office war, Logan discovers Addie’s secret connection to Scotland: a handful of faded Polaroids of her late mother. Hoping for a truce, he creates a private tour to the places in the pictures to help Addie find closure and appreciate the enchantment in less-traveled destinations, never expecting the off-limits attraction sparking between them. But Addie’s contract is almost up, and magic won’t pay the bills. They can’t afford distractions, but how can Addie do her job if she hasn’t explored all Scotland—and Logan—have to offer?
Kilt Trip by Alexandra Kiley Review
I have to say this was a story that touched my heart in many ways. But it’s also a story that was fun, humorous, sexy, and well executed.
One thing I love about the story is the character development was so well done. The characters were strong, yet had soft parts that really touched your own heart. The secondary crew is fun and fabulous and adds much to the story.
There are some very emotional parts in this book, especially because it brought back many memories of my mother while reliving some of her experiences. If you are missing your mom, be prepared to shed a few tears!
Exploring Scotland is a massive plus in Kilt Trip, but what really catches you are the unique twists to the landmarks. The author writes with a passionate voice that shows up in the beautiful way Logan views and loves his country through sharing history and lush landscape that paints a serene, magical picture for the reader.
Addie is a complex character with hidden grief. She does her job well to escape emotion and ties until she meets Logan and sees Scotland through his eyes and her mother’s.
Together the two find their path, but not until after we get a few hiccups, end of story drama, and the great happily ever after.
Kilt Trip is a delightful, swoony, and sexy read that will make you want to book your excursion to find your own delicious kilt-wearing Scot! It gave me all the feels with its deep and emotional message. So much love for this book!
