Peruse The Trouble With Scotland (Kilts And Quilts, #5) Presented By Patience Griffin Provided As PDF
is definitely my favorite in the series so far, I've come to adore the small town of Gandiegow, It is such a delightful place, full of highland charm and wonderful residents, The secondary characters really and truly make this series into a place I just can't stop coming back to, This time, however, I delighted in the romance much more than I usually do,
Sadie was such a sweet character, so full of a strength she didn't even realize she possessed, She was full of grief as well, an emotion I can definitely empathize with, Her need for solace and escape from those who mean well was tangible, and I really connected with her,
Ross was a little harder to pin down, I suppose he fit a great stereotype for a stubborn Scot, yet he's still so considerate it was easy to forgive him that shortcoming and fall in love with him.
Oh, but I need a Scot in my life!
The meddling old quilters were as annoying and difficult as always, but this time we got a little meddling in a more positive direction by the townsfolk who realized Ross and Sadie were perfect for each other.
There was also some help from Ross' mom, who I loved,
Getting better acquainted with the town's children was fun, and then seeing even more of the clever and superstitious highland customs was a treat.
I treasure each new visit to Gandiegow, like a little vacation I take myself on each time another in this series comes out.
George, I have loved the Scottish culture for a long time and this series of books along with the connection with quilting.
The town and its people are a wonderful setting, too, The book is great right down to the pronunciation of the names of the Scottish characters! I also really enjoyed the description of the Scottish wedding.
It gave me some ideas : I read this for review at All About Romance and gave it a C, so.

I love good contemporary romances set in the UK, so this fifth in the authors Kilts and Quilts series seemed a natural choice.
I was also excited to discover a newtome author, but by the time I was a few chapters in I knew I would not be reading any more of this series.
And if not reading for review I would have closed the book and put the town of Gandiegow out of my mind.

This is my first book in the series so I can tell you that it can be read as a stand alone.
It
is a bit heartbreaking in the beginning with Sadie and her guilt over her grandmother's death, Her overprotective brother, who means well, doesn't help,
I thought Sadie and Ross' meeting was a cute very seatofyourpants, trust instinct kind of meeting, I doubt I would trust someone I just met that easily but I liked Sadie's "I do what I want".
Unfortunately it doesn't last and that is probably what irked me a bit about her, She stated she wanted to do her own thing at her own pace but in the end helped out/did what others told her to do, especially from her brother and Deydie, who's sour disposition towards Sadie and her rather insulting manner was another thing that irked me but it does get cleared up in the end.
Sadie was in a sense manipulated back to her beginning state which frustrated me to no end, I found myself complaining to myself about standing your ground and speaking your mind,
In the end besides the ill manner of some and the selfesteem issues of our heroine the story flows nicely with a melancholy theme and a small town of overly invested cupids that always made me giggle, not to mention Ross and his extra ordinary sense of good manners, protectiveness maybe sometimes overprotective, and almost boylike love sickness is completely adorable.
I was looking for a contemporary romance that took place in Scotland kind of an Outlander without the time travel and war and this hit the spot, kilts included.

This is such a lovely series to read, with drama that is realistic and a town that is filled with interesting people even if they deserve a good smack every now and then.
I love this story, Ross and Sadie were fantastic characters and I felt for both of them, Sadie is suffering from an illness which means she will need a kidney transplant and she is treated like a child by her brother and in a way that makes her feel worthless by those around her.
. . Ross's actions at times don't help this, Ross is suffering at the hands of townspeople who think they need to set him up with his future wife and are constantly pushing women on him, he has had enough and the story starts with he and Sadie's first meeting ending in them running away.
If you have read the previous books in this series you would know Deydie and I just have to say I really did dislike her quite a bit in this book when it came to her treatment of Sadie.
Patience Griffin has created a world in which you can immerse yourself and really feel like a part of Gandiegow for the time it takes you to read the book, you will like some characters others may annoy you but it all comes with a pair of characters you want to see have a happy ending and you accept the rest because the story wouldn't be as good without those other characters who help make the story come alive.

An absolute charmer of a book set in the fictional town of Gandiegow Scotland! Fifth in a series, this entry does not disappoint.

The trouble with this is that she doesn't particularly wish to be there and looks for an escape,

I really did enjoy this sweet romance but it moved a little too slow for my taste, in part because of Ross and Sadie and too much time spent denying their feelings for each other.
. . more from Ross than Sadie, Sadie's overprotective brother, Oliver, is another reason the story never hit the 'loved it' mark,
That said, the people of Gandiegow are a fun, quirky bunch and I'll more than likely read more in the series.

My :
The Trouble with Scotland was a great slow build romance with good relationship anticipation.
I like slow romances sometimes because its nice to get an easy pace read that doesn't have a lot of complication to it.
You can relax and just simply enjoy the love and character build, Sometimes I really need something that isn't crazy action or drama, If you need a sweet and classic of Scottish romance books this is the one for you,
