About this ebook

‘Julie Shackman knows how to bring the feel-good factor to fiction’ Woman’s Weekly

‘A heartwarming and humorous journey of self-discovery, love, and the magic of the Highlands’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NetGalley Reviewer

Fall in love with the summer romance set on the Isle of Skye from bestselling author, Julie Shackman.

When ambitious city girl, Darcie Freeman is sent to the Isle of Skye to conduct research for a travel guide, she’s horrified. The prospect of having to travel to a remote island in the Scottish Highlands leaves her wondering what she’ll do.

Step in Logan Burns. Gorgeous and adventurous, he lives and breathes the island, and along with his sister Iona, who owns a rather haphazard PR company, they’re going to show Darcie everything she needs to know about Skye.

As Darcie swaps her designer shoes for her walking boots and her faux fur jacket for her raincoat, will she learn there’s more to life than the picture-perfect presence she shares on social media, or will it be the case that Skye is the limit...

‘A fun-filled romance... it’ll take your mind off the winter weather and maybe even inspire you to consider Skye as a summer holiday destination’ My Weekly

🌊🏕Darcie's transformation & setting saved it!🌌 3.5-4 🌟The Scottish island setting was the initial draw to this story for me and the author really did do the island's natural beauty and history justice. I needed to read way past the opening to actually have any sympathy or connection vis a vis London influencer Darcie, who travels to the Isle of Skye almost kicking and screaming because it isn't glamorous or a sun-soaked beach! Her island stint and romance transform her for the better.
