Some Like it Scot by Pepper Basham is one of my new favorite Christian romance novels. I listened to it on audiobook while doing house work and meal prep. It had me laughing out loud and thoroughly entertained! The voices narrating did a great job with the Scottish accents. It definitely gave me Leap Year ( a cute rom-com if you skip a few scenes) vibes.

Audience

Some Like it Scot would be perfect for older teens and women looking for funny Christian romance novels.

Katie Campbell is a 28-year-old well-known writer. While she’d love to be known for her children’s books, that’s not the case. She’s actually known for her travel writing. Or maybe more known for her clumsiness and mishaps while globe-trotting. In fact, people call her, “Miss Adventure”. Katie finds herself on a small Scottish Island where Campbells are disliked because of an ancient feud. As she gets to know the village and the culture Katy feels drawn to it because of her Scottish grandparents. It may be one of the first places that truly feels like home. Ruggedly handsome, Graeme MacKerrow and his sweet loving family definitely contribute to that as well.  Things start to go wrong when a competing writer spreads vicious rumors about Katy across the internet.

A few of my favorite things…

• That it was a very light-hearted Christian romance novel
• Downton Abbey, Lord of the Rings, Pride and Prejudice and Jaime Jo Wright references
• This quote, “It’s not about your hold on God, it’s about His hold on you.”
• Characters working through grief
• A 6’ tall female lead character
• A very protective rough around the edges male lead who is also a loving father figure
• An adorable little boy with a love for fishing and a crush on Katy
• A Downton Abbey travel experience where people have to dress and act like that era
• Katy’s longing for a loving family
• Nosy older ladies
• A very lovable sheep dog
• Family dinners with witty banter
• The romance was so sweet and made me tear up a few times thinking about my own sweet love story the Lord wrote for me

I didn’t care for…

• One scene I’ll describe below in the content warning section.

Know that…

• There’s a pretty lengthy and steamy make-out scene where a character is very focused on the man’s attractiveness without a shirt. To her credit she asks the Lord for help not to have sinful thoughts, but it was still a scene I could do without.

Perfect for…

Any woman looking for a closed-door Christian Romance novel that will make them laugh and give them wanderlust!
