Highland Fling

HIGHLAND FLING: Katie Fforde: St. Martin’s Press: Fiction: 326 pages

When Jenny visits Scotland as the virtual assistant of a man she’s never met, her job is to assess the state of a failing woolen mill. Once she meets the family running the mill (the Dalmains), though, she’s determined to save the enterprise no matter what. In the meantime, Jenny’s hands are full sparring with contentious but attractive Ross Grant, assisting Meggie Dalmain with her roadside food stand, and persuading Felicity Dalmain to stand up to her domineering mother.

This is a light, predictable read. Katie Fforde has written a number of books in the same genre, and the later ones (Bidding for Love and Restoring Grace) are her best.
