Charlotte Mackintosh is an internationally known bestselling romance writer who has no romance, and remains a mystery to her fans. In fact, she has little in her life besides her work, her pampered cats, and her secluded home off the coast of Washington. And then there is her very best friend, Bridget, who lives in Scotland, where Charlotte lived until she was fifteen. Bridget, whom Charlotte hasn’t seen in twenty years, but continues to write to—though the replies have stopped. Hurt by the silence, an opportunity arises to find answers—and maybe much more.
Charlotte must finally return to Scotland to sell her late father’s cottage. It was his tragic death when Charlotte was fifteen that began her growing isolation, and the task is fraught with memories. But her plans are slowed when she’s confronted with the beautiful but neglected house, the irresistible garden—and Toran, Bridget’s brother. Capable and kind, Toran has the answers Charlotte seeks. And as she is drawn deeper into the community she thought she’d left behind, Charlotte learns not only more about her dear friend, but about herself—and discovers a new and unexpected path.
For some reason I was just not feeling it with this book. To me the author was trying to hard at the beginning of the book to keep things hidden that I totally lost interest in finding out what was going on. It was almost like it was a big riddle and I was not in the mood to guess what it was. Then who meows at cats? Everything the main character did that I wanted to slap her and tell her to grow up. I can honestly say I have never hated a character as much as I hated this main character with her feminist stuff too. I just wanted her to shut up in my head as I was reading her words, I really did not want her to get her HEA in this book at all.
The plot of the book was good and the the other charters we're okay and that is why I am giving it three out of five stars.
