THE GOOD BITS
Highland Fling is part 6 of the “Flying Into Love” series by @c.f.whiteauthor and it’s GREAT! I began reading in the morning and ended up sneak reading at work because I didn’t want to put it down.
During a night of drinking, Dean Fraser applies for an elite Chef’s competition. Elise in that it actually involves taken over a Class A restaurants in a Scottish castle.
In spite of the fact that Dean expects to fail at any moment, he heads off leaving behind an ex he knows isn’t good for him and a family that’s relying on him.
What Dean isn’t expecting is Scottish Chef and castle owner, Ewan Grant. There’s immediate chemistry between the two men – of course totally inappropriate given the completion. And both men have pasts that don’t make new possibilities something they are inclined to explore.
The chemistry is off the charts in this book… it’s something that White is always good at but good GRIEF this book sizzles.
I really enjoyed the way each of the main characters had complex and touching pasts… the book actually brought tears to my eyes a couple of times.
This is a wonderful book to look forward to – coming out at the end of the month!
