About the Book
Title: Some Like it Scot
Author: Pepper Basham
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Release Date: April 8, 2025
Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance
She lives her life on the fly. His heart is double-knotted to home. Can two different souls create a life together?
Popular travel writer and podcaster Katie Campbell roams the world collecting other people's stories. She's built a career as "Miss Adventure," known for saying yes to anything new--country, food, or experience--and predictably finding those adventures taking a downward turn into misadventures.
Offered the chance to explore her ancestral roots through a three-week Edwardian experience, Katie finds herself immersed in the beauty and eccentricity of Scotland. In her period attire, with traditional foods and activities, the opportunities for misadventures are endless, especially with the presence of a maniacal macaw, a jealous co-worker, and an all-too-surly Scotsman.
Reclusive and protective Graeme MacKerrow doesn't venture far from his island home. A stoic Scotsman, Graeme's comfort zone has always been family, and after his sister's death, he's even more determined to save the MacKerrow ancestral home and keep those he loves close. The sudden intrusion of a six-foot-one American lass, famous for her traveling misfortunes, was far from his plan.
As this world of folklore, community, and woodworkers-in-kilts tempts Katie to discover her own story, could this one grand series of misadventures lead her directly to where she belongs? And would a settled-in-Scot ever risk loosening his grip on what's familiar to allow a wanderlust writer a home in his heart? How could their very different worlds share the same page of life's story when "home" is in two very different places? But maybe home--and the future--isn't quite what either one imagined it would be. Maybe home is less about a place . . . and more about a person.

About the Author
Wow, this was a fun read. A really fun read, and a deep read. One that really makes us take a little closer look at ourselves and see what makes us special to others. To take a closer look at why we might just be loved for who we are. It also was a story of where is home truly found.
Katie Campbell is a walking disaster, or that is how she would describe herself. Yet, she uses all her misadventures for a popular pod cast show she hosts. She is tall, clumsy, and prone to accidents, whether by her own fault of not. Trouble seems to follow her. However, I liked how she put a positive spin on the misfortunes and turned it into a business.
Graeme MacKerrow, a somewhat reclusive and grumpy Scottish man with many talents, is a homebody. He loves his family and his home, and he wants to stay put where he is. He is out of his comfort zone right now, as he has allowed a group of people to come to his ancestral home for an Edwardian experience. He needs the money to take care of said home. That is where he and Katie have their first meeting.
Throw in past family hurts, broken hearts, secondary characters, some that are lovable, others not so much, a parrot, cow, etc. and a great big dash of swoon and you have a story that is very hard to put down. My favorite author Basham book yet.

A fun book that leads to introspection certainly sounds worthy to read, especially if the author is Pepper Basham.
