A fine romance? A wonderfully romantic novel from the No. 1 Sunday Timesbestselling author of Recipe for Love, A French Affair andThe Perfect Match. When 'Virtual Assistant' Jenny Porter's boyfriend accuses her of being impulsive, soft-hearted and unbusinesslike, dashing off to Scotland to sort out a failing mill for one of her clients may not be the best way of proving him wrong. And promising to help run a mobile burger bar before she's even found her feet doesn't help matters. When she finds herself determined to save the mill - whatever her client's wishes - it seems that Henry's accusations may have contained more than a grain of truth. So when Jenny's awkward encounters with the abrasive but disconcertingly attractive Ross Grant develop into something more complicated - just as Henry arrives in Scotland to reclaim her - it's time for Jenny to make some decisions. Should she do the sensible thing and follow Henry back to London? Or is her Highland adventure more than just a fling...?… (altro)

My personal favourite of Katie Fforde's books ( )
  LisaBergin | Apr 12, 2023 |
Jenny Porter, a ‘virtual assistant’, spends her life sorting out other people’s problems. But when one of her clients asks her to go to Scotland to do a little hands-on investigation into a woollen mill he has a financial interest in, it doesn’t turn out to be the working holiday she hoped for. For not only does her role at Dalmain House include rather a lot of unexpected tasks – of which the cooking is the least taxing – but she also finds herself charmed into helping run ‘The Homely Haggis’, a mobile burger bar.

But it’s when her abrasive customer, Ross Grant, turns out to be someone she can genuinely talk to, that she really gets confused. And when Jenny finds herself torn between loyalty to her client and letting down the people of Drumossie, her problem-solving skills are stretched to the limit. It’s a pity they don’t seem able to stretch to sorting out her own, increasingly complicated personal life.

Just a bit too wacky for me - not one of her best http://www.dnsmedia.co.uk/reviews/view/1193 ( )

"Highland Fling" sees main character Jenny try save a mill in the Scottish countryside even though this isn't her usual line of work.
A lovely setting with some fussy characters makes this a delectable read.
I have read a few more of Katie Fforde's books (The Rose Revived, Wild Designs, Flora's Lot).
She writes with charm and a good heaping of humour.
Her storylines are simple and conflict between the characters is usually done with buoyant dialogue.
I find some of her books a bit too short though!
