Edinburgh, Scotland – Present Day

Addie Macrae works for a travel company that helps overhaul struggling travel agencies. She is sent to Edinburgh to help another company and while she usually enjoys her trips, this one is personal. Her late mother is from the area and Addie has pictures of her mom at several sites. She wants to go there and see what her mother saw. On Addie’s first night in Edinburgh, she runs into a Scottish man in a kilt in a bar. The two flirt back and forth but he is not why she came here. The next morning when she shows up at the travel office, she learns that her kilted charmer is part owner of the business—and Logan Sutherland is not happy to have an interloper telling them how to run their travel company. 

Addie and Logan end up at loggerheads over each other’s vision for the company. But he agrees to take her around the countryside to see the sights. She mentions to him that she is trying to recreate her mother’s photos, so Logan helps her find the locations. Their resentment toward each other soon evaporates—and a mutual attraction develops. But Addie’s time in Scotland will soon end, so can there be a future for them? 

It's an emotional trip for Addie in THE KILT TRIP as she struggles with the memories of her mother and seeing her father move on. Her parents spent their honeymoon in Scotland and all Addie has left of her mom are pictures from their trip. She eventually tells Logan about her mom and the pictures that she wants to recreate with her camera, and he agrees to help her. Why not since he’s familiar with the area? They soon grow closer, as do their feelings for each other. He wants her to see the area in his eyes and his vision for the travel tours. She starts to enjoy herself and being around Logan. Things had started rocky between them but now all is well. But both know that she will soon leave to return to Boston—unless he can convince her to stay.

THE KILT TRIP is a cute and engaging tale of a woman experiencing Scotland through the eyes of a kilted knight in shining armor. Logan understands that the company needs a refreshment, but he believes that he knows what the people want. Can he convince Addie about the best way to see Scotland? Their attraction builds slowly in this tale, mostly because there is animosity between them at first. But that soon melts the more they are around each other. Other characters, mostly Logan’s family and coworkers, provide some entertaining scenes and dialogue. But at the center of THE KILT TRIP is the building romance between Addie and Logan. 

It’s a dream come true for Addie to visit Scotland even as it brings up memories of her mother. But in THE KILT TRIP, she may end up finding the perfect man for herself. Don’t miss this sizzling tale.
