What do a dog trainer, a bestselling cookbook author, a well-known paleontologist, and a workaholic publicist have in common? The four American ladies can not resist the attraction they feel for four out of this world hunks during a holiday in Scotland and end up marrying them.
An entertaining, funny and romantic anthology. A great read.
===================================
¿Qué tienen en común una adiestradora de perros, una escritora de libros de cocina de gran éxito, una conocida paleontóloga y una publicista adicta al trabajo? Las cuatro americanas no pueden resistir la atracción que sienten por cuatro highlanders cachas de película durante unas vacaciones en Escocia y terminan casándose con ellos.
Una antología entretenida, divertida y romántica, una lectura estupenda.

I really enjoyed each short story on its own merits. All of the leading ladies where strong characters and still had the virile alpha male in a kilt I love, based in my favourite country abroad. All of the stories engage me immediately and were interesting, I especially liked the detail about the tourist trinkets one character buys as a gag gift and ends up having to use.

Awesome short stories, very enjoyable.

[Nicole · Rating 4 out of 5]

The last story in the book was best I thought which is what got the book four stars, otherwise it would have only received three.

[Elisabeth Scherer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great short stories that suck you into the characters lives and make you want to travel to Scotland! I know I do! Bravo ladies!

[Amanda Brodzki · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall, the book was fairly enjoyable. Of the four authors, my least favorite was Debra Dier, if for no other reason than she called women "female(s)" on multiple occasions.

My Scottish Summer is a compilation of four stories of romantic romps. Not my cup of tea. The saving grace of the first story, Lassie Go Home, was that partially is set in Mull where I will be going in several weeks. Also, it revolves around a champion border collie and as a dog lover, I can identify with the characters' feelings.

All good stories.

[Allison · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice short stories. All of them have the material to be longer though.

[Amanda · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book needed a better proofreader. Too many spelling errors in it, which I found distracting. The final story was the best of the four.

[Tressa · Rating 2 out of 5]

The short stories were okay. All of the stories felt like the potential for standalone books.
