Mending Lost Dreams at the Highland Repair Shop by Kiley Dunbar

I haven’t read any of Kiley Dunbar’s previous books, but I probably should! I really enjoyed this one. It’s got not one, but two love stories, some lovely characters, and beautiful descriptions of the Scottish Highlands that made me want to pack my bags. There’s a comforting charm to the whole story—gentle romance, emotional healing, and even a couple of recipes tucked in, which was a nice surprise. It’s the kind of book that wraps around you like a warm blanket. I genuinely enjoyed it from start to finish.

Newly qualified doctor, Alice, moves to a small village in the Scottish Highlands after breaking up with her boyfriend—but she’s hiding a big secret about her own health. In the same village, Murray returns home after splitting from his boss, hoping to mend his broken heart while helping with the family business. Then there’s Finley, a mountain ranger who lives far from people and doesn’t quite understand them, and Cary, a talented carpenter at the repair shop—great with wood, not so great with women. The story is full of misunderstandings, mayhem, near-death moments, new puppies, and gorgeous Highland scenery. And let’s not forget Shona’s sweet baking, which adds a comforting touch to the drama.

It’s heartfelt, fun, and packed with charm. A perfect read for anyone who loves romance, community, and a dash of chaos in a beautiful setting.
