Zoe has always done the "pratical thing" as per her parents insistence after they had gone through hell and made it back their goal was to make sure that she would always be "safe." After the death of her Great-Uncle Willie she find that he left her the cabin she has the fondest memories of, what she doesn't expect is the "Beast" of a man, Rory. Rory is trying to make enough money to support himself and his mother, when his plans go awry with the arrival of the redhaired beauty. This story is full of laugh out loud moments, a few tears, a bit of subterfuge, and a lot of hot and steamy moments between the two leads. If that is not enough to make you want to read this book, there is a old Scottish Castle and a Duke. It is not often that I like current Highland Romances but this is one that you can't pass up! Evie Alexander has a talent for writing a romcom, I can honestly say that I will be waiting impatiently for the next book in the series. Giving this book a 5 out of 5 stars is possibly a low rating for this book, but one thing is for sure that this book is a bit of Jalapeno because of the slow burn. But this book by far has the Cayenne moments that heats the blood and makes you nice and toasty.
I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a great romcom! If you like explict love scenes and like to laugh then this is a book that you don't want to miss!
I hope that this helps you find your next Tantalizing Tome!

Yeah I’m gonna need a kilt wearing man-bear now
“…a life half lived is a life not lived at all.” (pg. 250)Zoe has always played it safe but an inheritance from her great-uncle gives her the confidence to push boundaries and live in the moment. Leaving her life in London behind, Zoe travels to the Scottish Highlands to live in a rundown cabin full of cherished childhood memories. What she didn’t expect was the burly, hot, man-bear of a neighbor hating her very existence.Rory is in debt, big time. His only saving grace? Moving into the secluded cabin on the vast Kinloch Estate’s land. But now that cabin is inhabited by a feisty redhead with no plans on leaving. She’s stubborn, he’s determined: let the games begin…I. Could. Not. Put. This. Book. Down. I found myself immediately invested in the steamy back & forth between Zoe and Rory…literally begging the pages to FINALLY get them together. I wasn’t disappointed.Alexander did a superb job blending the ‘enemies to lovers’ trope with the ‘will they, won’t they’ anticipation, creating a steamy & emotional love story that pulls at the heartstrings. While Highland Games has just enough angst & spice to keep any romance reader pleased, it includes deeply personal journeys for both protagonists that add a layer of humanity & emotional investment in the characters.Main protagonist Zoe goes on a journey of self-discovery, living in the moment & accepting what is while Rory must work to heal past wounds & face his true self. Evie Alexander beautifully presents how family dynamics affect all aspects of adult life…and how healing from them can open your heart to all that’s waiting for you. Pure perfection…I have to say, my personal favorite ‘bonus’ of this book was the “Sex Index” in the back…complete with page numbers to get you where you need to go in a rush. First time I’ve ever seen that & I greatly appreciated it. I cannot wait for Hollywood Games, the next installment in the Zoe/Rory storyline.

I really liked this book. I enjoyed the descriptions of the Scottish Highlands and I enjoyed Zoe and Rory, the main characters.
The book ended with a HEA, but Alexander already has the next three books in the series planned out. The second book, Hollywood Games, is available for preorder, is being released on April 4, 2022 and I’ve already ordered it.
The characters are nicely fleshed out and the ones that aren’t I suspect will have their time to shine in upcoming books or at least get more “screen time.” For a debut book it’s well written, well paced and engaging. This is a great story of (one-sided) enemies-to-friends-to-adoring couple!
