Shooting Stars Over the Highlands
About the Book:
What would you wish for if you had one chance?
Esme Cassidy had two dreams growing up: to be a famous film star, and to own Drumblair Castle.
Sadly, overly cautious parents put paid to a career in front of the camera, instead encouraging her to study towards a ‘proper job’, and Lady Olivia MacBain is the current custodian of ‘her castle’.
After graduating and a year travelling, Esme returns home broken-hearted and throws herself into her new role as Lady Olivia’s PA at Drumblair Castle. It’s not quite her original dream but at least she’s living at the castle in one of the estate cottages with her housemate and friend, handsome, yet quirky, groundsman Judd.
With the news that the castle will be used as a film set for a period movie, Esme gets to witness first-hand the career she missed out on. And with her teenage crush in the starring role, she can’t believe her luck. But he wouldn’t be interested in a girl like her, surely?
My Review:
Esme Cassidy is healing from the end of a relationship and finds herself the new PA at Drumblair Castle. Not the job she's always dreamed of, Esme at least gets to live in the castle that's fascinated her for her entire life. She also meets Judd, the castle groundskeeper who also has a room for rent. Then, when Drumblair Castle becomes the setting for an upcoming movie, Esme gets to witness the career she didn't get to explore, and meet her crush. So many potential love matches for Esme.
Shooting Stars Over the Highlands is an emotionally rich novel. The story between the pages is a heartwarming contemporary romance. I enjoyed coming back to Drumblair Castle and meeting Esme. She, along with everyone in the book, is well-written, 3-dimensional, and complex.
I enjoyed the author's writing style, the story, and how everything came together. I was pulled into the story from the beginning and kept thoroughly engaged. The author wove a masterpiece together, filled with romance, love, anxious moments, tenderness, and frustration. I was captivated by this wonderful story.

Purchase Link:
Represented by Lorella Belli at LBLAUK and signed to Boldwood Books.
Shortlisted in 2014 Romantic Novelists Association RoNAs in the Contemporary Romance category for debut novel Bridge Over the Atlantic (later signed by Aria Fiction and rereleased as A Seaside Escape).
I've had what you could call a very varied career including time working as a singer and appearing on TV's Stars in Their Eyes in 1997. But writing has always been a deep rooted passion.
In 2012 my family and I relocated from England to our favourite place in the world, Scotland, and we are now happily ensconced in village life. The stunning location was the inspiration for my writing career and so it's only right that it features in all of my books.
I'm a happily married mum of one with two energetic dogs who make cameo appearances in some of my books. I love writing and creating new characters and now have the pleasure of owning my own bookshop.
