The Perfect Bargain by Jessa McAdams


Blurb: 
 American lass seeks brawny Scot...
As if being newly single isn’t brutal enough, Sloane Chatfield's friends are getting obnoxious about setting her up. When Sloane insists she's waiting for a certain sexy fictional Highlander to come along, her friends surprise her with a trip to Scotland to find her a new boyfriend. She’d rather have a root canal. But if she can find a Highland hunk to “break her heart” before her friends arrive…
In a remote Highland village, Galen Buchanan is struggling to keep the family pub afloat. Everything is falling apart, he’s running out of money, and now there's an opinionated American lass parked at his best table, driving him mad. But then Sloane asks Galen to be her pretend Highland boyfriend...and offers him enough money to save the pub. It’s only for a few days, he figures. What's the worst that could happen?
 

My Review: 4 STARS!

Sloane was dumped by her fiance and has been submersing herself in work to avoid dealing with her breakup. Her friends, however, have decided that the only way to get over her ex is by finding a new man. They have been setting her up on date after date in an effort to "help" her move on. In desperation, she takes a vacation to the Scottish Highlands to find her very own Jaime Fraser. When her friends decide to visit her in Scotland she offers to pay Galen to be her pretend boyfriend while they are there. Galen wants nothing to do with Sloane's proposal but he desperately needs money for his ailing pub. 

This was a quick, sweet and fun read. The chemistry between Galen and Sloane was intense and I loved their back and forth banter. I also seriously love the Scottish accent, which I think the author did a great job on! My only complaint is that I think the ending wrapped up too quickly, Galen's change of heart was a little abrupt for my tastes. But other than that I really enjoyed the story.
