About this listen

She lives her life on the fly. His heart is double-knotted to home. Can two different souls create a life together?

Popular travel writer and podcaster Katie Campbell roams the world collecting other people's stories. She's built a career as "Miss Adventure," known for saying yes to anything new—country, food, or experience—and predictably finding those adventures taking a downward turn into misadventures.

Offered the chance to explore her ancestral roots through a three-week Edwardian experience, Katie finds herself immersed in the beauty and eccentricity of Scotland. In her period attire, with traditional foods and activities, the opportunities for misadventures are endless, especially with the presence of a maniacal macaw, a jealous co-worker, and an all-too-surly Scotsman.

Reclusive and protective Graeme MacKerrow doesn't venture far from his island home. A stoic Scotsman, Graeme's comfort zone has always been family, and after his sister's death, he's even more determined to save the MacKerrow ancestral home and keep those he loves close. The sudden intrusion of a six-foot-one American lass, famous for her traveling misfortunes, was far from his plan.

As this world of folklore, community, and woodworkers-in-kilts tempts Katie to discover her own story, could this one grand series of misadventures lead her directly to where she belongs? And would a settled-in-Scot ever risk loosening his grip on what's familiar to allow a wanderlust writer a home in his heart? How could their very different worlds share the same page of life's story when "home" is in two very different places? But maybe home—and the future—isn't quite what either one imagined it would be. Maybe home is less about a place . . . and more about a person.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s charming and funny, and filled with an abundance of bad puns. This is a sweet and clean Christian rom-com set in modern day Scotland. It focuses on character growth and has a strong message of faith and hope.

I will warn that the book is quite slow and takes its time working through the struggles of both MCs. Both have suffered the loss of a loved one and both have been hurt by those they love. Their relationship is heartwarming, sweet, and well developed.

Highly recommended to those who don’t mind a slower pace. And to those who enjoy audiobooks, the narrator does a most exceptional job.

Content:
There is no foul language, sex, or violence. The romance is limited to minor ogling and lightly descriptive kissing. This is a Christian book with a strong message of faith and God.

A sweet Christian rom-com

Pepper Basham has done it again! If you want a Rom-Com set in Scotland - with a hint of costume drama, a clumsy meet-cute, lots of heart and humor, a "hairy coo," a cute kid and a hot Scot - all wrapped in a story with a strong message about grief, guilt, surviving, healing and faith, this a wonderful book for you!

Pepper is masterful at weaving hilarity, humor and humanity into a relatable, lighthearted "non-Hallmarkian" love story in a setting you never want to leave. (I do think we need more from these characters! They're so great!) She never shirks from sharing the Gospel in her books and I love that.

The narration just sucks you in and keeps you thoroughly engaged. Well done!

Wonderful performance of a fabulous story. Graeme left me weak in the knees and Katie brought my heart to new heights. What a great balance of humor, romance, and life, all accented with critters and misadventures.

I like it Scot!

Pepper Basham has once again introduced us to characters we’ve fallen in love with! Katie was so relatable I couldn’t help but love her! And Graeme? Well… 😍 I laughed out loud in several places while also having tears in others. Lachlan, Graeme’s 8-yo nephew, was adorable and Graeme’s mother, Mirren, touched Katie’s heart in areas that her dysfunctional mother had stripped raw. This has the full package!! If Miss Adventure were writing a travel blog today, I’d be sure to follow it!!
The narrators were amazing!! The accents and their “heart” added another layer of wonderfulness to this book! Highly recommended!

She did it again!

I love the characters and I love how the author describes the setting. It made me feel as if I had traveled to this beautiful little isle. I love the way the family in Scotland deals with loss. I could feel the family's warmth and kindness and closeness. Excellent story! I must admit the adorable phrase Hairy Coo is now stuck in my head a bit! 😊

It was so fun to read!

The description of the the MacKerrow home, especially Graeme’s mother was so endearing I wanted to know them myself. The sense of community was also heart warming. The whole story kept bringing my grandparents to mind. My grandpa was full blood German, a naturalized citizen. Their home was my heart home, because my fathers job kept us moving overseas every few years. It’s true that people are our home. Home IS where the heart is.

So much well written fun, yet serious enough.

The audiobook for Some Like it Scot is great! Listening to it was quite enjoyable. The male narrator voicing Graeme has a perfect Scottish accent (to my ear anyway); the female narrator did a good job but I wished she would have known what a North Carolina southern accent sounds like so Katie would have sounded as true to her character as Graeme did. Other than the lack of southern accent, I have no complaints. The emotions of the characters come through the narrators’ inflections. I love this sweet romcom, and will gladly listen to it again someday. I love this book.

Wonderful characters and story
