Review: A Cask of You

 

All Bea wants is to fly to Scotland and write her steamy new book. Find a smoking hot Scotsman to model the hero on. She can do no-strings, in the name of art, right?

But Bea hasn’t met Cal Butler. Yet…

 

Bea Gracie, an American romance writer, flees to Edinburgh to escape her broken heart and find inspiration for her fictional love interest. And there he is – the stunning-yet-aloof Cal Butler – in the same Edinburgh coffee shop where Bea is tapping at her laptop. All she has to do is orchestrate a meet-cute and her muse is hers.

 

Drawn inexorably to each other, Bea and Cal agree to a no-strings fling so they can revel in guiltless passion with a firm end date. But Bea’s feelings for Cal grow like the wildflowers along the coastline of his homeland. Is it possible he harbours feelings for her, too, or is the fire in his kiss something he can safely pack away? And what will happen when this privacy-guarding hero finds out he’s been immortalised in Bea’s spicy novel?

 

If you love being transported along cobblestone streets and Scottish shores to meet Celtic heroes, then this steamy, contemporary Scottish romance is for you. Discover this passionate new series and fall hard for the Butlers.

Review

Bea and Cal undertake a very modern path to romance in this romantic Scottish tale. The book focuses on the idea that love may be just one more relationship away - as both are dealing with leaving past lovers to pursue new partners. Bea is a frustrated writer working as a barkeep to pay the bills. She realizes that unbelievably-hot and well-endowedCal would make the perfect romantic hero in her stories. She just needs to get more intimate details. Bea got the lion’s shareI did like Cal. I wanted more of the book to focus on him as a person and not just a lover. I felt like there was a lot of unexplored territory beyond the bedroom. But that’s not really the point of romance novels. This one was very reminiscent of Harlequin novels - the leads are attractive, the lines can be funny, and the couple earns their happily ever after.

The book is very modern. Alcohol and steamy s*x figure in prominently. The s*x is gritty and frequent. The romance largely depends on their runaway desire for each other. Those who loved the style of 50 Shades of Grey are likely to love this author.
