About the Book

Some Like it Scot 
Title: Some Like it Scot 
Author: Pepper Basham 
Publisher: Thomas Nelson 
Release Date: April 8, 2025 
Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance 

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.

Book Review


With the perfect blend of laugh out loud humor and swoon worthy romance--- this was just the escape to Scotland that I didn't know I needed! Graeme and Katie won me over very quickly in this beautiful romcom. Katie truly is the perfect romcom heroine-- she's on the clumsy side and trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes, but she also has the biggest heart. Graeme comes off as a grump at first, but ultimately, he's the perfect kilt-wearing Scottish hero to come to her rescue... in more ways than one. Both of these characters had experienced loss in their lives that still affect them. It was interesting to see the contrast in how their families dealt with that loss... and how it shaped their own lives. Those deeper moments balanced perfectly with those over-the-top mishaps to send my emotions all over the place--- in the best way possible. There was a fantastic sense of found family--- with some meddling and matchmaking mixed in there too. And Lachlan? He was just the absolute cutest and added so much to the story. And with all the Scottish lore, well, this one will certainly have you wanting to plan your own trip too! I have never read a Pepper Basham book that I did not enjoy, but this one might just be my favorite one yet!
