The Trouble with Scotland

Kilts and Quilts Series #5

De: Patience Griffin

Narrado por: Kirsten Potter

Life isn't going as planned, and Sadie Middleton is rethinking her whole future. Thankfully, one thing is staying the same: She's able to share her love of quilting with her grandmother, Gigi. The two of them enter a contest and win an all-expenses-paid trip to the Kilts and Quilts retreat in the Scottish Highlands. But their victory turns hollow when Gigi passes away before they can go.

Sadie is grief stricken, but her brother convinces her to take the trip to Gandiegow anyway. There Sadie meets a charming circle of quilters who remind her of her grandmother and Ross Armstrong, a handsome fisherman who brings a smile to her face.

Newly single, Ross intends to enjoy his freedom. That plan goes awry as he comes to know Sadie, and a surprising spark is lit. Unfortunately some well-meaning folks want to protect Ross from getting hurt again and are determined to keep him and the American lass apart.

The Trouble with Scotland

I have enjoyed all of Patience Griffin’s Kilts & Quilts books but I especially enjoyed the audio version of The Trouble with Scotland. I look forward to the next volume!

Engaging and Encouraging

The narrator continues to do a fantastic job voicing all the characters, and switching between American accents and the Scottish burr.
Sadie and her brother are quickly drawn into the Gandigow community, although it’s tougher for Sadie due to her illness, shyness, and grief.
The landscape descriptions are beautiful!
I really want to go to Scotland!
Sadie takes comfort in the land and learns she can be who she really wants to be in Scotland, but attracting a certain man is quite a challenge. As always, I would prefer a bit let chase and angst, a more of “let’s see how this is really going to work out.”
I applaud how easily some newcomers can readjust their lives to settle in a new country.
This is an engaging and encouraging addition to the series.

Loved this one!!

I've never written a review before, never wanted to. I laughed out loud, and,cried our loud. To me, that makes this a great book. Now I'm so attached to these characters, I want this series to never end.

Best Yet

The story of Ross and Sadie was the sweetest of all this series! The description of the town makes me want to visit Scotland !

Sadie is my favorite!

I absolutely adored this book! Sadie is my new favorite! She is sweet and insecure in the beginning, but finds herself in the best way!!! Ross is perfect for her! There souls were meant to be!

cute and fun,

It is difficult for me to find a new author but I will look forward to listening to more of this pair. the narrator was perfect. A feel good book for sure

Another Kilts and Quilts Love

I like the storyline but my issue is with the narrator of novel. It is the same narrator as the other books in this series and for most of it, she is fine. But her accent for North Carolina is the same one she used for someone from Texas in the previous book. Yes, both are Southern accents but they are very different. Southern accents vary greatly depending on where you are from in the South. Even in the same state, they can vary greatly. This little issue really bothered my enjoyment of this audiobook.

Wrong Steam Meter setting - it's only simmering

Tons of dialogue and cranky people in a quaint fishing village. Whiney Sadie meets handsome Ross, I don't see the attraction.

Two short sex scenes in the final 2 hours.

Nothing spectacular. Just a story about a bunch of crabby people. Meh.

May be #5 but love it like the 1st

A wonderful story of a Hot Scot and a quilter with bad Kidneys. Handled the illness and grief over losing her Grandmother beautifully. I was pulled in to the story with laughter and tears. Also Loved the wedding traditions for a Gandigow wedding. This may be #5 but this series is still going strong. Well done Patience Griffen.

Don't miss out

It's easy to fall in love with every character in this little Scottish village. This book will leave you wanting to go to the quilting retreat even if you don't sew.
