Sometimes the road to happiness is longer than we’d like …

At fourteen, Isla Mackenzie has her life all planned out. She’s going to be an artist and marry her best friend, Logan.

Logan Donnell also has a plan. When he grows up he’s going to join his dad’s business and marry his best friend, Isla.

By the time they’re eighteen, the two of them are inseparable. The future looks bright. Everything feels perfect.

But when tragedy strikes, fate sets the pair on a different course.

While circumstances keep Logan and Isla apart, their bond is not so easily broken.

The course of true love might not run smoothly but a bumpy road can still take you exactly where you’re supposed to be …


While this is the second book in the Loch Lannick series it can also be enjoyed as a standalone novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very long interesting journey
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2020

It's an interesting and thorough character study of a family and it's ups and downs. It's a story on risk and opening up to friendship and love. It's a story about what happens when people make assumptions and don't talk to one another. It's a story about misdirected and selfish love.
It's also a story about what happens when parents are more friends to their children than the parent as is their responsibility. And it's a story about the lack of instruction and training on morals and appropriate behaviour for children and young people when parents don't set up rules or provide guidance on living.
It has it all very well put in a good story!

The 2nd book in the series and I enjoyed it immensely. I found it so frustrating however since Island and Logan so seldom were on the same page in their relationship, making assumptions that were often wrong, listening to others who had also made assumptions. Drove me crazy! Why didn't they just talk to each other? I know, that was the whole point, wasn't it. And I do remember that was a common theme in relationships at that age.

The Mackenzie family is wonderful...I feel like I could just walk right in, order a cottage pie, and feel completely at home.

A fun read with twists and turns that make you throw up your hands in dismay. Ellis has a knack for balancing action, dialogue, and description that creates the perfect movie in your mind. Believable characters and good pacing. This book should be on your must-read list.

3.0 out of 5 stars Love Skye and everything Scottish
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2023

This is the second book set in a small (fictional) village on the Isle of Skye. The story is about Isla, the second daughter and artist and Logan, her best friend from when they were 12 years old. I loved the characters, story and setting, but the misunderstandings and angst were just too much for me. I wanted to shout at them to just talk to each other and not just jump to (wrong) conclusions!
I’ll sample the 3rd book before buying…like I said, the setting and characters are very likeable but I can do with less angst.

I enjoyed this book and recommend reading it. It seemed longer than the first one but still kept me reading late into the night. It’s well written and the characters are fun. Heather does a great job interspersing the timeline from the first book in this one. I’m on to the third now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hang in there! The love goes deep.
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2020

I too got caught up in this exceedingly tangled romance between Isla and Logan. It took me back to when I started falling in love with my husband (of 53 years now!). I remember being so relieved when he said, "No games. OK?" Honesty and trust make all the difference in relationships. Now, admittedly, we were much older than this couple and had that happened in this book, it would have been about three pages long!
The tangling began with the very young, impressionable ages of this couple. Obviously, Logan totally came apart causing their first split. Then, he really needed bereavement counselling, possibly group or professional...more than a plate of food and a hug or two.
Therefore, I must agree with another reviewer about the lack of behavioral guidance from Isla's parents. Though they seemed like very nice people, I do think their lack of moral supervision and laissez faire attitude didn't help this young couple at all. Karla B.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovable characters in a well woven plot.
Reviewed in Canada on March 29, 2021

This was deeper than just a quick beach read. I fell in love with the characters, having a sense that I’d joined their family and friends group. Hannah’s story telling method is so rich and full of life. I always feel like I’m in the story whereas some similar stories by other authors feel more cold and disconnected. The prolonged romantic tension was well done as well. I was hesitant to pick this one up because the main characters are so much younger than me, but I’m so glad that I gave it a chance. I strongly suggest this book to others.

Loved this book, the characters were really lovely. Must admit it got me a bit emotional at times, but the story was really lovely and most enjoyable. Will definitely read more from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great, very well written story but...
Reviewed in Australia on October 1, 2022

... I found myself on edge waiting for whatever the "tragedy" that was to come. After the experience with Hannah Ellis's tragedy in the Lucy Mitchell series second book, I had huge trepidation that it wasn't going to be easy content to deal with. This in turn didn't foster positivity on this journey.

I don't like reading tragic romance, in fact I detest it. I won't go anywhere near Nicholas Sparks novels for this very reason. I want light hearted, feel good, 'happy ever after' entertainment in a romance novel. I don't want to be ugly crying and getting depressed over fictional content. I read romance to escape from the many tragic issues in the real world.

If you like that kind of emotional roller-coaster then you'll probably enjoy this book. But for me this story was more about enduring it versus enjoying it for the sake of continuity of the Loch Lannick series. Hannah Ellis had done such a brilliant job with the Hope Cove series, that I wanted to experience that awesomeness again.

I gave it a 5 star rating regardless, because I'm an atypical oddball and most people won't have the same emotional issues with it as I did. Unless they're on the spectrum and feel things more deeply than the average person too. The character Scarlett in the Hope Cove series would get me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely summer read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 5, 2021

I haven't read the first book in this series, but as this story starts when the children are young it seems to be logical to read it first.
The story centres on the relationship between Isla and Logan, through miscommunication and misunderstandings, until young love overcomes all. The outcome is predictable, but it's nice to have a happy ending, particularly after the "will they, won't they" question. I enjoyed the family characters , and the setting for the book. The author's narrative style allows the reader to enjoy the unfolding story at a relaxed pace until the satisfying conclusion. A lovely read with more in the series holding the promise of a saga.
