I just finished Five Days in Skye and WOW! What an amazing book. I could not put it down. Do not begin this book at bed time; you will not sleep. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
Andrea is a hospitality consultant. She goes to Scotland to meet celebrity chef James MacDonald about renovating the family hotel. Before her flight to Scotland, she goes into one of James' current establishments and has a drink at the bar. A guy comes in while she is complaining to the bartender about her boss canceling her long-awaited vacation, and bashing Mr. MacDonald and all he supposedly stands for as well as putting Scotland and the island of Skye down. What happens next is absolutely hysterical… Check it out.
Andrea has had a difficult past which was only complicated when a prior client tries to force her to do things she does not want. Her boss and coworkers think that she gets contracts by sleeping with her clients. Everything in her says not to get involved with a known celebrity and a potential client. James puts her to the test and makes her remember how to love after all the heartache she has been through. Even when she tries to run from it, he does not let her go.
This was such a touching story about returning to God to overcome sorrow and how, even after only 5 days, Andrea comes to not only love Scotland, but to love James as well. Carla Laureano makes us believe that all things are possible with God in this great story.
This is a must read book. 5 out of 5 stars. Totally christian approved. I would recommend this book to all. I just found out that the second book is out and I can not wait to read it.
From the back cover:
Hospitality consultant Andrea Sullivan has one last chance to snag a high-profile client or she'll have to kiss her dreams of promotion good-bye. When she's sent to meet Scottish celebrity chef James MacDonald on the Isle of Skye, she just wants to finish her work as efficiently as possible. Yet her client is not the opportunistic womanizer he portrays himself to be, and her attraction to him soon dredges up memories she'd rather leave buried. For James, renovating the family hotel is a fulfillment of his late father's dreams. When his hired consultant turns out to be beautiful, intelligent, and completely unimpressed by his public persona, he makes it his mission to win her over. He just never expects to fall under her spell.
Soon, both Andrea and James must face the reality that God may have a far different purpose for their lives—and that five days in Skye will forever change their outlook on life and love.
