My Review
Scotland? Yes please! If you know me, Scotland is my favorite location in the world. So, of course I wanted to read this book. I loved the first two books in the “MacDonald Family Trilogy” and have been eagerly awaiting my next return to Skye in this third installment. It did not disappoint! This book can be read as a standalone.
"Under Scottish Stars" is like a love letter to Skye and Scotland. It transported me to the remote Isle of Skye with its amazing views and wild, rugged beauty. I just want to live in this book. Ms. Laureano masterfully describes this beautiful place, while also weaving in a wonderful love story. Even though this is a contemporary story, it feels a bit like stepping back in time due to the remoteness of the Island.
The characters are very relatable, flawed and loveable. I love following the journey of Serena (our main character) as she travels back to Skye. She has a great character arc. Malcom, the hero, is pretty much a dream guy. It is fun to follow their love story (be prepared for a little more steaminess than the average Christian fiction book, but nothing more than PG-13). I loved being back with the MacDonald Family. Overall, this is a fantastic end to the series!
Content: I give this book a PG-13 rating. Some examples of the content are: mention of alcohol and drugs; the word “hellish” is used; mention of people cursing, but the words are not actually written; mention of a woman’s cleavage; a reference to drugs; a reference to making love.
Rating: I give this book 4 stars.
