Sounds like a fire hazard letting guests built the fires themselves (unsupervised).

“No one can know,” Addie says sneaking out of Logan’s room.

Oh, come on. You are traveling with a group of people you are never ever going to meet again. What do you care what they know and/or think? You think there are going to be sniggers on the tourbus?
Most people wom’t even care.

I just put down this book in the middle of a sex scene because I was wondering what sort of books had made it to my favorites list.

Obviously, this book is nowhere near that list.

Oh, now the water is cold that it burns, but yesterday in only chilled.

It’s early January. Surely it’s a bit cold to put your hand in a pond to grab a piece of cloth, then walk around with it for a bit.

It should be the type of weather that most people wear gloves.

Cute origin story for “armed to the teeth”, but the Dutch origin of “to the teeth” predates the battle of Culloden by at least a century.

Page 115: author decides her female lead is going to be sunshine and not grumpy. At east on the surface.

Your boss asking for an update is not micromanaging.

Your boss telling you each step of the way how to do your job, is micromanaging.

You really should have known better than to go the unofficial route.

Addie’s “Oh no” is misplaced. As a travel consultent she should have some grasp of accidents that can happen.

Huh, I’m missing the pay-off. Addie goes on a road trip to visit a castle that’s part of her heritage (or something) and when she arrives she parks the van (makes a deal with Logan about something) and the next chapter skips to a few days later.

What was it like for her to visit that castle? Envisioning that her mother had visited once too?

Did everything have to be such a goddamn battle?

I think you started the battle, Logan. Can’t blame other people for keeping their guard up.

I have the distinct feeling Addie knows next to nothing about the psychology of tourists. Tourists in Scotland love any castle, as long as it looks like something that has been around for a few centuries.

History and ghost stories help.
Ugh, she first liked Logan because he was a good storyteller. Now she dismisses a castle on his tour because she’s never heard of it. Rather than ask him what the story of it is.

HR persons talking about employees with external contractors; office pranks that attract vermin, or are meant to gaslight someone?

More than a website update, this place nneds a company culture update.

I’m curious: why weren’t the whiskey tours a success?

Also curious: why hire an American consultant for something a local consultant can also tell you, at much lower travel expences? Is Neil getting mates rates?

She bit into the tortilla chip with perfectly melted cheese and groaned.

Things I would like to be made illegal in books: people having a foodgasm (moaning or groaning) when the put the first bite of food in their mouth.

Particularly when that food is pub grub.

She’s docking points for having a guided tour that is unlike everybody else’s. I guess she’s not one of those consultants that tell you that you have to be unique to stand out.

A moment ago Addie was set to miss the first half hour of the tour and now she has managed to catch up with them. What happened? How did she manage that?

We’ve done this hundreds of times. I know my rights – and yours.’

What kind of research did this author do before she started this book? It took me ten seconds to find out she did not consult the FAQ of a lawfirm specialised in this matter.

‘Oh, yes, your current lease is voided, by the way. New owners – new lease.

I’m not familiar with UK law, but I sure hope people’s rights are better protected than that.

Along with forgiving himself for all of the damage he’d done while drunk.

Excuse me?
Did he do this damage to himself? If not, he is not in the right position to forgive himself. Only the person who suffered the damage can give forgiveness.

Poppy cracked her neck. “Okay, let’s get this over with.”

Sophie suddenly growing a spine said: Your brother is his own person. I need neither your permission or your approval to be in a relationship with him. Now, you can be a good friend and be happy for me, or you can get the fuck off my porch.

How long have you been hanging out together? Do you know his favourite food? Favourite color? Shouldn’t those come before the TikTok user name?

you also need to understand where she’s comeing from. Two of the most important people in her world have a relationship outside of her.

And this is wrong because Poppy is a toddler and has not yet learned to share her toys?

Seriously? What is wrong with Poppy?

It is a truly sick person that goes onto their brother’s bedroom when they think they might be hinding a person in there.

Valve problems are typically not solved with pacemakers. Pacemakers are for rhythmic problems.

“No” would have been a better answer.

Isn’t there something in rehab about quitting (or at least putting at a distance) any toxic relations you have. Including immediate family.

My most hated trope in romance novels: believing the other person will never change their mind, even when the circumstances have changed.

Every time someone needs a pose in this book, they put their hands on their hips. What’s wrong with - the less aggressive - hands in pockets?
