BLURB.
I’m a professional chickenblocker.
Except “chicken” is a euphemism.
I get paid to follow a womanizing troglodyte who thinks rules are for other people and that my pants are the next pair he’s getting into.
Dream on.
Bet your first professional job didn’t involve babysitting an extremely hot, muscle-bound Scottish Highlander with an ego the size of a kilt and a libido bigger than his…well…
Chicken.
Keeping Scottish football (that’s ‘soccer” to us Americans) player Hamish McCormick away from inappropriate scandals while he does product endorsement campaigns is my mission.
No problem.
Until Hamish decides I’m his next scandal.
And maybe more….
Shopping for a Highlander is an enemies-to-lovers, slow burn romance that opens with a surprise kiss and ends with a happily ever after. This sports comedy in the New York Times bestselling Shopping for a Billionaire world contains no actual chickens, but it has plenty of locker room scenes, a fake relationship, very real banter, and more. You do not have to have read the previous books in this world, though after you read about Amy and Hamish, you’ll want to. 😉

READ AN EXCERPT.
Hamish McCormick’s tongue is in my mouth. I realize this is a problem half the women on the planet would love to have. He’s a world-famous Scottish soccer–sorry, football to everyone except Americans–player, and my sister is married to his cousin, the billionaire. Given the fact that Hamish is kissing me in front of my date, though, it’s a little awkward. “Ahem,” said date says, scratching his temple, adjusting his glasses, and using polite, understated throat techniques to get Hamish off me. Subtlety doesn’t work on Hamish, though. This kiss is anything but subtle. Pretty sure you’d need a crowbar to pry him off me. Or me off him. The distinction between who is kissing whom was lost long ago. I see my date, Davis, out of the corner of my eye, and I’m about to shove this two-hundred-pound sack of hard muscle and overconfident heat off of me and slap him, but sweet merciful deity, I swear Hamish’s lips have some kind of magic potion on them that renders me spellbound. No kiss has ever tasted like this. Except the last kiss from him.
MY REVIEW.
4 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ah the Accent!!
Not sure why, but I do like a guy with that brogue Scottish accent and find it weird that I read with that accent in my head, although this time it was sounding a little like Shrek after a while. Shopping for a Highlander is the second book in the series and the only one I have read so far. We get up close and personal with Amy and Hamish who seem like they have a lot of work to do before any sort of relationship will happen.
It took me a while to warm up to Hamish and his cocky playboy attitude, however I am a sucker for that tough on the outside, total teddy bear on the inside. He's looking to wear Amy down and good luck to him. Amy is a smart, responsible, driven woman who sees Hamish as a guy she wants nothing to do with, He lives his live completely opposite of hers, however that charm of his is hard to deny.
The book is well written with a gaggle of characters to make you laugh as the story moves along for these crazy kids. I liked Julia Kent's witty banter with her characters and how everybody was all up in each others business, especially the mothers. Shopping for a Highlander reads well as a standalone, although I do want to go back and read the first one.
