Highland Whirl | Enemies-to-Lovers Lesbian Romance
When city girl about town Roxanne Barns reluctantly accepts a holiday invite to her best friend Eve’s birthday party in the Scottish Highlands, the last thing she expects is to fall for the very person she’s been dreading seeing again—the feisty Highlander, Alice Campbell.
The moment Alice learns that Roxanne is visiting her home hamlet of Newland, she couldn’t be more suspicious or defensive. A warm welcome is certainly not the plan, let alone falling in love.
Despite Eve’s warnings that Roxanne is not relationship material, Alice can’t ignore her growing attraction. She absolutely trusts Eve’s judgment, but taking her advice just might break Alice’s heart.
More Lovely Reviews of Highland Whirl
I loved everything about this [enemies-to-lovers] romance. It was funny and emotional. A heartwarming love story set in the beautiful Highlands, definitely recommend a read. – Netgalley
The characters are so realistic that I actually think I’ve met them in my younger days. Roxanne in particular is great. A massive mess, emotionally a teenager, but with a nurse’s practical heart of gold. I’ve definitely hooked up with her. Meanwhile Alice is the epitome of a no nonsense Scottish crofter, and whilst she may not take fools gladly, she has a soft spot for a wee eejit. Evocative story, sweet romance and a lovely testament to friendship. – Goodreads
