ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 14, 2025

I rebuilt my grandmother’s bakery from the ground up. Poured everything I had into making it thrive again—flour, sweat, and a whole lot of tears.

Then she died. And her will blindsided me.

If I’m not married by the time probate closes, I lose the bakery to my mother—the last person who should ever be trusted with it.

Enter Bodie Gibson.
Childhood friend turned enemy. The boy who used to bring me tea and peanut butter sandwiches…
The cop who put my little brother behind bars.

He offers me a way out: a fake marriage that keeps the bakery in my hands and our past buried where it belongs.

It’s just paperwork. A few public appearances. Nothing real.
Except he still looks at me like he sees the girl I used to be.
And when he kisses me it doesn’t feel fake at all.

In a town built on second chances, sometimes the only way forward is to rewrite the ending.

REVIEW: Hero, Unexpected is book two in the Gibson Hollow book series by Kait Nolan.

This book opens up with Emmaline Maddox re-opening up her grandmother’s bakery after a devastating flood. Her grandmother has been missing since said flood. When in a twist of fate her grandmother is found deceased. Not only does Emmaline have to deal with losing her grandmother, but she also has to deal with what came out of her grandmother’s will.

Her grandmother left Emmaline the bakery with the stipulation that she needs to be married before the deal goes into probate. With no idea how she is going to accomplish finding a boyfriend and getting married, Emmaline gets an offer she can’t refuse. Her former best friend turned enemy Bodie Gibson has offered to marry her to help his friend save the bakery that is rightfully hers.

Can she forgive her former best friend for sending her younger brother to jail? Can they move forward and help her keep the bakery out of her dreaded mother and aunts hands? Can they convince the entire town they are in a relationship and about to get married in a short period of time, when both of their families hate each other?

This book was a wonderful read. The relationship between Emmaline and Bodie was amazing to watch unfold.

Coupled with twists and turns and a beautiful backdrop of a story, this may be better than the first book in this series.

I highly recommend.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 20, 2025

With all my best mates settled down, I’m the last single man standing. Of course, the one woman to spark my interest is the only one in Scotland who seems immune to my charm. Dr. Saoirse MacGregor is brilliant, beautiful, and decided she hated me at first sight.

When her friend goes missing on a research expedition, Saoirse turns to us at Out of Bound Scotland for help. With my military training, I’m the best tracker we’ve got, so she agrees to an uneasy alliance—as long as I take her along for the search.

But the Highlands hold dangerous secrets, and what starts as a search and rescue quickly becomes something far more treacherous. Forced to rely on each other to survive, the walls between us begin to crumble. Turns out the posh vet I’ve been clashing with for months has depths I never imagined.

I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her. But the real surprise of this enemies-to-lovers journey? She might be the one saving me.

REVIEW: Beneath Highland Stars is book three in the Special Ops Scots series by Kait Nolan. This book is a forced proximity, enemies to lovers, woman in trouble, small town Scottish contemporary romance.
Finn Patterson is former Royal Marine and Special Forces. After retiring he opened up Out of Bounds, Scotland, with his friends. An outdoor adventure company that specializes in remote wilderness guiding.

Dr. Saoirse MacGregor is the town Vetrinarian. She has come to Glenlaig to help her grandfather with his vet practice. Saoirse doesn’t like Finn at all, especially sonce he refused to care for a kitten he found awhile back.

Finn recently lost a close military friend named Charlie. Charlie wanted Fonn to have his military dog, Ajax, if anything ever happened to him. He knew that Ajax would need Finn as much as Finn needed Ajax.

Ajax was Charlie’s military service dog, a Belgian Malinois. Ajax had served with their squad for years. And now it was time for Finn to take care of Ajax.

When he got to town with Ajax, he took him right to the vet to see if there was anything he could do to make the dogs transition to civilian life any easier. Thats when Saoirse srarted seeing a different side to Finn. One she actually liked.

But when Saoirse’s best friend Isla, goes missing in the wilderness she turns to Out of Bounds to help her find her. Finn offers to take Ajax and go look for Isla. But Saoirse insists on going along.

And thats when they run into some unsavory people. And they spend the next few days with their lives in danger to find Isla.
Will they be able to find her? Will they be able to tolerate each other alone in the wilderness?

I absolutely loved this book in the series. I was a fan of Finn sonce the first book. There is a lot of twists and turns and danger in this one.

Highly recommend

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 7, 2025

The last thing I need while trying to make a success of my outdoor adventure company is a beautiful distraction. It takes all my focus to fight off the demons that remain from the injury that ended my career as a Royal Marine and deal with the clients that make me want to climb the nearest mountain and never come down.

But Parker Lawrence walks into our office, takes over a phone call, and changes everything. My desperate desire to keep her close has nothing to do with the fact that she’s sunshine personified—sweet, capable, and completely unfazed by my grumpitude and total lack of charm.

She’s also hiding something. I should mind my own business, but this bright Southern belle has gotten under my skin, and I want to save her every bit as much as it feels like she’s saving me.

When her secret catches up to her, I’ll do anything to keep her safe, even if those overprotective instincts risk driving away the best thing that’s ever walked into my life.

REVIEW:Beyond Highland Sunrise is book two in the Special Ops Scots series by Kait Nolan.

Handsome but broody Callum Quinn runs an outdoor adventure tour group in Glenlaig, Scotland. He runs it with his two best friends, Finn Patterson and Alex Conroy. Slowly getting their company – Out of Bounds Scotland, up and running
Callum doesn’t mind doing the tours but the last thing he wants to do it deal with people. Callum believes everyone sees him as a monster. It’s not only the resting ogre face, but the horrible scar that runs down the left side of his face right thru his eye. Everyone shows fear when they see him.

That is until Parker Lawrence walks into the office. Callum is on the phone with a customer that isn’t taking kindly to the way Callum is dealing with him. Parker walks right up and takes the phone out of Callum’s hand and takes over the call. She saves the customer and Callum by helping him out. Callum realizes that his appearance doesn’t scare her. He doesn’t scare her. He automatically tells her she’s hired. But Parker isn’t one hundred percent sure she wants the job or to settle in this town. Although getting a job was at the top of her list. And no one would find her in Glenlaig.
After discussion with all of the owners of Out of Bounds, Parker decides to take the job as office manager.

What begins as a slow burn of friendship turns into so much more between Callum and Parker. And I knew from the start that I was going to fall hard for Callum and he did not disappoint. Can Parker trust to tell Callum why she is hiding out in Scotland. Can Callum let down his guard and let Parker in.

This was a wonderful Scotland romance. With everything from special ops, friendships, and sheep. I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I have not read book one but I will now be going back to find out more about the other characters. Highly recommend if you love everything Scotland.
