SCOT ON THE TRAIL!
Brooke Sinclair's dream of being a published author derailed when she was expelled from the University of Edinburgh seven years ago. Now a ghostwriter, she sticks to other people's stories. But when her college mentor Mhairi McCallister needs a co-writer for her memoir about Scotland's most challenging trek, Brooke would do anything for the opportunity—including agreeing to hike the rugged Skye Trail for authenticity's sake... not knowing the nature photographer who'll join her is Jack Sutherland, the man who shattered Brooke's writing career—and her heart.
Between getting sacked from the University and walking away from his family's tour-guiding business to follow his photography dreams, Jack is desperate to prove he didn't disappoint his family for nothing. And he can't ignore his Aunt Mhairi's final wishes for her memoir. Even if it means acting as guide and storyteller for the one who got away. Even if it means keeping secrets about Mhairi's health.
As Jack and Brooke head into the solitude of the sweeping Scottish landscape, they're forced to confront old feelings that haven't disappeared with time. But can two weeks and eighty miles heal years of unspoken hurt and offer a second chance at the end of the trail?

        American Brooke Sinclair is ghostwriting a memoir for her famous mentor, Mhairi McCallister, and is less than thrilled when she is thrown back together with photographer Jack Sutherland to make the book as authentic as possible. Jack is Mhairi's nephew, with whom Brooke had an ill-advised fling as an undergraduate at the University of Edinburgh. Brooke's editor and Mhairi are convinced that the memoir is missing that special something, and that Brooke and Jack can capture it by following the same trail that is detailed in the book. Hiking and camping across difficult terrain on the Isle of Skye with Jack brings up long-buried feelings of attraction, despite years of resentment. Jack's quiet sincerity forces Brooke to reconsider the past and her future, but as they get closer to the end of their journey, Jack will have to reveal Mhairi's devastating secret, which he has known all along. Unfortunately, the plot doesn't propel readers forward with any urgency, and the forced-proximity and miscommunication tropes could have been better utilized. VERDICT Kiley's fans will enjoy the return to a captivating Scottish landscape, but this second-chance romance is less successful than her debut, Kilt Trip.--Nicole J. Suarez

        Brooke Sinclair is a successful ghostwriter, but she has yet to complete a book of her own. However, her latest assignment could jump-start her own writing career because Mhairi McCallister promises to share credit for her memoir with Brooke. The problem is that Brooke's latest draft needs a serous injection of atmosphere, which Mhairi believes Brooke can achieve only by hiking the Skye Trail, which is the focus of much of Mhairi's memoir. Now Brooke needs to find a hiking partner, and the only person available is Jack Sutherland, Mhairi's nephew and the new photographer for the book. Unfortunately, Jack also happens to be the same person who not only broke Brooke's heart but also dashed her dreams of becoming a published writer seven years ago. Readers will be smitten with Kiley's (Kilt Trip, 2024) latest brilliantly crafted contemporary romance that not only offers an enticing combination of insightful characterization and electric sexual chemistry but also serves as an inviting guide to the vividly evoked delights of Edinburgh and the Isle of Skye.
