Where There's a Will [Paperback]

Katriena Knights (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2009

The terms of the will seem crazy-until she meets the man to fulfill them. When Chloe Sullivan's great uncle dies, leaving her his house and a not-quite castle in the Highlands of Scotland, Chloe's more than willing to take a vacation across the pond to check it all out. When she gets there, she finds out there's a catch-if she wants to keep her inheritance, she has to marry a Scot. And her great uncle even left her a suggestion as to who. Malcolm MacTavish is taken with the lovely, straightforward Chloe the moment he sees her at the airport. But they can't enjoy more than a brief fling, since she's planning to go back to the States. The more he gets to know her, though, the more he wants to try to change her mind. Until he finds out about the will. Warning: This title contains a Highland fling (a.k.a explicit sex), Scottish accents and gratuitous jokes about the Loch Ness Monster.

Considering the super cheesy cover and the cost ($0.95), I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did.
It's cute, funny, and captivating - I finished the book in about 4 hours even though I didn't intend to read it in one sitting. I just couldn't put it down!
I enjoyed it so much more than the last few books I read - which I paid full price for!
I'll probably even read it again in a few months.
If you're thinking of downloading this book - go for it!

It is the first book I read on my Kindle 3. I read it in one day. I loved the scenery and felt at times I was standing there.
I did not give it Five Stars only because I think it could of gone a little bit more into the Great Uncle before he died and the why's. I also felt the end of the book could of been a bigger finale. I would of liked just a little bit more layering of everything. The book spoke of connections to Scotland from a foreigner feeling like she belonged to a native never wanting to leave. How wonderful to read a book and feel at times you were there and that you yourself felt connected and I am not even Scottish. I really did not understand how the town people haunting the castle would make her want to stay. That is where I wish there were more layering.. but the book read smoothly. It just needed a bit more tweaking. I am glad and happy that I chose it to read.

This review is from: Where There's a Will (Paperback)

When her great uncle dies and leaves her a house and partial castle in Scotland, Chloe Sullivan thinks a short trip to Glen Dunn is in order to sort things out, sell the land, and come back to America and her job as a financial consultant. What Chloe doesn't count on is her uncle's bizarre will. If Chloe wants the land to be sold to one of the townspersons, she has to stay in Scotland for a month. And if Chloe wants to actually keep her inheritance, she has to marry a Scot within a month. Her uncle is even so helpful as to provide a potential husband, Malcolm MacTavish.

Chloe may not want to marry someone to keep her inheritance, but she has no problem spending a month in the Highlands with the handsome Malcolm. He's sexy, charming, and kind. What more could a woman want? Though she knows their relationship isn't meant to last, Chloe can't help but wonder what it would be like if she could stay. But when Malcolm finds out about the will, will their newfound love be crushed by broken trust?

Where There's a Will took me on an enchanting journey to the Highlands of Scotland where humor, history, and romance were deftly spun together to create a story that is simply wonderful. Katriena Knights has created an entire cast of characters that I would love to know in real life and a town that completely endeared itself to me. As for the hero and heroine of the tale, Chloe is straightforward, intelligent, and keeps her cool even when she's slightly out of her depths. She's the kind of person that, were she real, I could see myself being friends with. Malcolm is a fantastic hero. He's patient, thoughtful, and oh-so-deliciously attractive. Malcolm is just perfect enough to make him a sigh-worthy hero and just imperfect enough to make him feel like he could be real.

Ms. Knights weaves in a lot of Scottish history into the story, which I found to be delightful. Ms. Knights clearly loves the country she wrote about and it comes through in the writing, the excitement coming off the page so clearly that I could not help but be swept away by it. From beginning to end, Where There's a Will is truly a pleasure to read.
