Summary

Kayla Moore has always been comfortable with her feisty, maneating reputation. At least it was fine until she hit her 30s and saw her best friends, Stephanie and Nicola, settle down with Linden and Bram McGregor, leaving Kayla as the odd one out. Tired of being the third wheel with nothing but one-night stands and dead-end dates in San Francisco, Kayla decides to take a vow of celibacy and put men on the back burner. But she finds herself wavering the moment she lays her eyes on Linden and Bram's cousin, hot Scot Lachlan McGregor. With a steely gaze and a successful rugby career back in Edinburgh, Lachlan is the kind of man who makes her want to throw her vow right out the window.

It isn't until the two of them are thrown together one long, unforgettable night that Kayla realizes that there is so much more to this brooding macho man than meets the eye. But even with sparks flying between the two, Lachlan can't stay in America forever. Now Kayla has to decide whether to uproot her whole life and chance it all on someone she barely knows or risk getting burned once again.

BEST BOOK OF THE SERIES...

...BUT!!! The accents 😱😱😱 Shocking. Just. Shocking 🤣🤣🤣 It's a shame, because I really loved this story.

The male narrators Scottish accent is meh, his American accent sounds like a southern belle via England, when the character is supposed to be from San Francisco...👀 The female narrator is obviously American, so her own accent is fine, but DAAAAAAMMMNNN!! Her Scottish accent sounds like it travelled all over Europe and ended up in Italy, or was that Russia? 🤔 And don't get me started on them both attempting a French accent 😭

Anyhoo. Despite the narration, the story was so strong that I was still able to enjoy it. This book is darker than the first two, not so many laughs, but still enjoyable.

Scottish Accents awful

I enjoyed the story best out of the three it was a bit more darker but the Scottish accents were cringing to listen too even the female narror who is American couldn't get it right its a shame because the story was good. They should of just used a scottish actor for the male narror

Loved the story

I just wish the accents were a bit more consistent. The female narrator had some type of Scottish/Irish/ Russian/Australian thing going on for her male voice that seemed to change every sentence. The guy was ok, even if the Scottish did slip out of his accent. They also pronounced the main character ‘Lachlan’ differently between the male and the female narration which was a little off putting to my ears.

is this Scottish or Russian?

The story itself isn't bad and if I was just reading it I may have scored it slightly higher but I struggled to continue listening to this because of the terrible Scottish accents. At times the female narrator sounded more like a terrible Russian accent instead of Scottish and the male narrator wasn't much better. I had hoped with Ferguson as a surname they had actually managed to find someone with a proper Scottish accent but sadly no. Add the awful accents with the ridiculous Scottish stereotypes and it was just disappointing all over. I wish the author had gotten someone from Scotland to proofread it for her because then it would have picked up on some of the Americanisms being portrayed where they shouldn't e.g. we don't have the sports drink Gatorade, we have Lucozade. Probably the same thing but little things like that would easily be picked up by a proofreader local to the area you are writing about.

TERRIBLE accents 🤦🏽‍♀️

Have not finished it.. The accents hurt my ears! 🙉 If you're THAT bad at accents, preferably don't read a book where you need them, but if you have to.. Just keep your own accent. When it's THAT terrible, it REALLY distract from the story 👎🏻
