Scot and Bothered
by Alexandra Kiley
If you’re craving a comforting, feel-good romance with just the right amount of tension, Scot and Bothered delivers. Alexandra Kiley blends humor, emotional vulnerability, and irresistible chemistry in a story that feels both cinematic and heartfelt.
The setup is familiar but effective—a determined heroine collides with a brooding Scotsman, and sparks fly against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery. What I loved most was how grounded it all felt. The characters carry real emotional baggage, but the story never loses its warmth or humor.
Kiley’s writing is breezy but thoughtful. The banter works, the pacing flows, and the setting practically hums with charm. There’s an authenticity to the dialogue that makes the romantic beats land beautifully.
It’s not reinventing the wheel, but it doesn’t have to. Sometimes, all you need is a well-written love story that feels like a hug—and Scot and Bothered fits that description perfectly.
