Review

Going into a book knowing it promises a happily ever after comes with certain expectations, and this one absolutely delivers on every level. Our leading lady is an American travel writer whose entire brand revolves around chaos—so much so that her series is called Misadventures. No trip ever goes according to plan, and that’s exactly what makes her experiences so entertaining. When she gets the chance to spend three weeks in an immersive historical experience, she’s all in—until, of course, she finds herself tangled up with a swoon-worthy Scotsman. But love isn’t as simple as storybook endings, especially when both parties carry their own doubts, fears, and deep-seated beliefs about what they’re willing to change for someone else. What follows is a whirlwind of attraction, tension, and, of course, plenty of miscommunication.

This book has everything I could want in a love story—heartache, self-discovery, and a romance that keeps you rooting for the characters despite all their obstacles. The setting is beautifully described, making the town and its surroundings feel as immersive as the historical experience itself. Every moment felt rich with emotion, from the lighthearted mishaps to the deeper, more vulnerable conversations. It’s the kind of read that sweeps you up and leaves you with a full heart by the end. If you’re looking for a charming, feel-good romance with just the right amount of adventure, this one is a must-read!
