Clementine has to swap her glamorous London life for the Scottish Highlands-will it work out?
A fun, light hearted read based in Scotland. Beautiful landscape, community feeling and eccentric characters.
Relatable characters and really uplifting.
Great summer read.

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I don't know about you.. but traveling through books seems to be the way to go lately. Not that I'm complaining because.. people and COVID aren't my cup of tea right now. So when I saw that I got the chance to go to Scotland with High Heels in the Highlands. Well, this girl right here didn't hesitate one bit to jump into it. Along with a cup of tea of course!

In this, you will meet Clem. She is a fashion designer in London. Well, she was because now she is in Scotland! Of course, she is there for a mission to see if the property is even worth keeping. Along the way, she ends meeting people that probably change her for the better. Or the point of view on Scotland.

Now I'm not sure if I have a favorite character right now but I do know that I want to go to Scotland whenever I freaking can. Just to see the sights and everything. Maybe even try the food out. Oh heck, I just need an adventure stat!

i am so glad i got to read this book early, thanks so much to netgalley and their amazing website!!!! this was such a fun and pure book. it was awesome and i suggest you grab it today!!

Liz writes such perfect escapism reads, I love to dive into each book she writes with the knowledge I’ll leave a lot happier than when I went in. This is no exception, the characters are completely adorable , the writing lovely and it’s a great rom com that all focuses on families, relationships, and community,completely addictive read

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

A good escapist story that made me smile and root for the characters.
It's engrossing and entertaining, well developed characters and interesting setting.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This story was set up to be a rom-com, but I felt like it just didn't ever get there. I didn't like the POVs at times. It felt disjointed, and I think it made it hard to connect with the characters. I found Clem to be so self-centered, and I couldn't get over it.

The location was beautiful. I loved the Highlands descriptions and the castle!! Hurley did a wonderful job creating the world for us to live in while reading this book.

I do wish I had started this series from the beginning, but I think this one can be read as a stand alone. .

A wonderful story of escapism by the other Liz Hurley. I almost felt like I was in the Highlands so well was it described. Great read.

I have read all the other books in the series so was quite familiar with the story.

This book is the story of Clementine, one of 4 sisters who inherited titles and vast estates in various parts of the country.

This is the story of an abandoned castle in Scotland. Clem goes up to see if they can make any money off it, but when she gets there she falls in love with it, goes exploring and discovers something that may change not only the castles fortunes but hers as well.

Great story, really enjoyed it!

Really enjoyed this book, the characters are so well developed, I loved the relationship between Clem and Otto, two peas in a pod. There is everything in this story, mystery, adventure as well as romance, and even the dramatic highlands of Scotland get a glowing description. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

This was a cute and sweet read. This was a 3 stars read for me. This was enjoyable quick read for me.

I wanted to love this book but unfortunately, it was not for me. I loved the premise of this but do not think it was executed as well as it could be. The characters were not likable to me and it made me not care much about what was happening in the book.

Loved this chick lit set in the beautiful Highlands more than I thought I would. And I loved the banter between the hero and the heroine. This book has me wanting to read more books in the genre.

This was my first book by this author, It was pretty enjoyable. I would give this book a 3.5 star rating! It was a pretty Quick and easy read!

A fair story about Clementine and her sisters, what they do having inherited a home with lots of responsibility in the highlands of Scotland. I enjoyed the London, city mindset of Clementine coming to grips with living in the middle of nowhere navigating the new cultures and villagers she meets. Added to plot were could does of unrequited love, romance and art. A cute easy smooth no stress read.

This is the 3rd book in the Hiverton Sisters Series and so far the most amusing between the three. Thank you to Netgalley and Hera Books for the advanced reading copy of the book.

I took the time to read the first two books before reading this one in order to get a better sense of the story. I am glad that I did and would recommend it to other readers. They are relatively quick reads!

I enjoyed Clem’s practicality and tenacity. The women in the series definitely shine and I found them to be much more complex than their male counterparts. I would have liked more interactions with her and Rory in the book and ultimately loved their happy ending. 💕

By the third book, the writing does become better. There are plenty of characters to meet so good to keep track of them throughout the series because they do make cameos in each of the stories so far.

Clementine Byrne has four sisters. For many years, their family has lived just short of poverty. Their parents have died. Clementine’s older sister Ari has recently inherited their uncle’s estate which includes a castle.
Clementine’s life is a wreck, she is an out of work fashion designer and her previous partner has cheated her from the designs she had been working.
Ari sends Clementine to Scotland to check out Ruacoddy Castle and estate that she has inherited. Clementine is to do an inventory and to help Ari decide if the Castle is worth keeping.
When Clementine arrives at the Castle she finds a very unhelpful housekeeper who is afraid of losing her way of life. Clementine gets to know some of the local residents.
This was a romantic comedy about families, family relationships, village life, fashion design and artists. I loved it.

The first thing I’m going to say about this book is that is not a romance story, I think it should be considered women fiction.
After discovering they had inherited an enormous fortune, as well as the titles of ‘Lady’, the lives of the five Hiverton sisters have never been the same.
Fashion designer Clementine heads to the Scottish Highlands to investigate their newly inherited castle. However, Lady Clem quickly finds out that Ruacoddy Castle is falling to pieces, the neighbors – especially grumpy young farmer, Rory – are suspicious of her and the eccentric housekeeper, Ottoline, is still in residence.
But just as Clem starts to embrace her new life in the Highlands, growing closer to Rory and forming a friendship with Ottoline, she stumbles upon a secret in the attic that could destroy the Hiverton family. Can she save the castle as well as her family’s reputation?
I give this book a four start review because it’s beautifully written and the characters are deep and really nice developed. At the beginning I have my doubts about Clem, she is kind of a spoiled brat, but as the story keeps going, you can feel all her emotions and wins you over. Rory, who’s just a secondary character, is cute and absolutely adorable. Maybe too sweet for her?
I really enjoy this book even though I much prefer romances. And of course Scotland, so anyone should make room for this one.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is the first book I have read from this author, I will review this as a stand-alone book as I was not aware of the series about the sisters.
What a fun book to get lost in - follow Clem as she seeks out how to save the Hiverton Castle in the Highlands that they inherited.
You can get lost in the descriptions of the Highlands to the point you wish you were there, the high heels Clem wears adds to the love and character you feel for her.
This book includes hope, romance, betrayal, dreams, cover-ups, friendships, and excitement.
I will be looking at reading the other books in the series to find out what happened before this book and any follow-up books after.
Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read before publication for an honest review.

This was a highly enjoyable read! It’s the perfect beach read and the only thing missing was my margarita. The characters were incredibly entertaining and well rounded and the bickering between Clem and Rory was very funny and their personalities never felt one dimensional and the comedic timing was really well done. The character Otto was phenomenal, she kept the pace moving and there was such a great addition, and added a good balance to the story. Although this is the first book I’ve read of the Hiverton Sisters series, I definitely wasn’t missing anything. I’m really looking forward to reading each sister’s story and getting to know more of their personalities.

High Heels in the Highlands is the third full-length novel in The Hiverton Sisters series. Each novel seems to focus on one of the five sisters and the timeline moves forward throughout. Although time is moving forward with some events in previous novels being mentioned in this one, the novel could technically be read as a standalone. As I did not read the previous two before reading this one, I can attest that a reader can understand everything in this book without issue. I am curious to read more about the other sisters based on their mentions throughout this story.

Clementine (“Clem”) Hiverton/Byrne is one of five sisters (Ariana, Aster, Clem, Paddy, and Nic). After an unfortunate separation with her former design partner, she now has free time to travel up to Scotland and figure out the details of the castle life that her family has inherited. During her visit, she must help make the decision if the castle estate is worth keeping or if it needs to be sold. My feelings on her as a character are very mixed as she is a stronger personality, but a lot of the time she came off rude and condescending. It seemed sometimes that she was annoyed to be there when she is the one that chose to be in charge. She did grow on me more as the story went on, though, and it was enjoyable to read about her learning experiences as she goes through sudden spring snow and random sheep on the side of the road.

There is a lot of plot packed into this novel, so it tended to lose focus on the romantic novel that I thought I was going to read. It did follow the description where our main character meets her neighbor, who becomes her love interest, while battling her housekeeper, and finally discovering a secret, but there were times it felt disjointed and tried to do too much at the same time. I appreciate the originality with the family secret, but it was a lot to pack in, so it does not get the attention it needed. Clem’s professional growth and character development was one of the storylines I loved. Clem’s passion for fashion design and her desire to become a well-known designer were admirable. In the writing, it was apparent that fashion is her true love and what she is destined to be for a career. When she, eventually, changes the ballroom into a design studio, it was very heart-warming to see how driven she was to do what she loved after being burned by her previous design contract. This part of her character was one of my favorites as she went through a lot from her former contract and felt defeated. She worked through a lot of emotions and attempted to find her passion again.

Clem and Rory, a neighboring farmer who becomes Clem’s love interest, barely interact throughout the novel and the times they were in the same “scene” together, they either argued or just were around each other. Either I missed the development for their feelings or it just wasn’t there, as I felt that they just suddenly decided they belonged together without actually spending much time together. It was not insta-love, as they did not immediately fall for the other, but it seemed like a sudden growth of feelings and I wanted more between them. Unfortunately, I loved Rory’s character, as he seemed fun and caring, but I just did not feel connected to their relationship. More time was spent on Clem’s time with Ottoline, the housekeeper, or with her own character growth, so I wish there was a little more on Rory.

Ottoline, the housekeeper, and Clem start off on the wrong foot. Otto appears to be judgmental and rude, but there is more to her than meets the eye. Over time, she and Clem start to get to know each other and realize that the other is not as bad as they initially thought. The development of their friendship was very enjoyable and seemed to be the main relationship focus of the story and I preferred to read about the two of them becoming closer than I did for Clem and Rory. Honestly, there were times that I could have taken out Rory’s part of the story and I feel the impact would have felt the same to me. I love romance in stories, but I felt that with so many other plots to focus on, then the romance was not needed as not a lot of attention was given to it.

Overall, this novel was a delight. True, I do have some pieces that I would have done differently, but my general experience was enjoyable. The descriptions of the scenery were fantastic and I could easily picture myself in small town Scotland living in a castle – if only! I love how Clem and Otto start working together to try and save the castle from being sold. They bond together over the discovered secret and it is entertaining to read about them trying to fix mistakes from the past. Clem’s learning disability that is most likely undiagnosed dyslexia and I found it to be portrayed well in the story. This story may not have been the romance novel that I was expecting, but it was a captivating story of growth, friendship, and Scotland! I would definitely be open to reading more from this series and discover more from each of Clem’s sisters.
