Hello my lovelies!

Wow, it’s been a whirlwind of a year so far! I can barely believe that SCOT AND BOTHERED comes out in less than a month! (March 4th, eee!!)

Seven years after heartbreak tore them apart, Brooke and Jack are forced to hike eighty miles together, facing both the wild Highlands and the unresolved emotions between them. With dual timelines, emotional stakes, and the irresistible tension of only-one-tent, this novel weaves a story of love, self-discovery, and living a life worth writing about.

I wanted to share some exciting news with you about pre-order campaigns, giveaways, and my launch party!

LAUNCH PARTY

I’m having my launch party on March 4th with the fabulous Books Are Awesome bookstore at Fiction Beer in Parker, CO from 5-7pm. If you’re local, I’d love to see you!

I hear tell they’ll have a custom beer on tap with a very delightful punny name and a copy of the book is included in the ticket price. Last year, the event sold out, so make sure to get your tickets in advance!

PRE-ORDER CAMPAIGN

Books Are Awesome is also hosting my pre-order campaign. If you order through my fave store, you’ll get a signed and personalized copy of SCOT AND BOTHERED, plus the Skye Trail map of Jack & Brooke’s adventure and two hairy coo stickers.

OTHER GIVEAWAYS

‘Tis the season for all the fun promo, so there are other ways to win a copy of SCOT AND BOTHERED.

It includes maps for both books, book boyfriend bookmarks (swoon!), and hairy coo stickers (because I know what you all are here for!!).

NETGALLEY

SCOT AND BOTHERED is also still available for request on NetGalley if you’re an ARC reader!

Request on NetGalley

I have to do a little self-indulgent shouting because Booklist reviewed SCOT AND BOTHERED!!

“Readers will be smitten with Kiley’s latest brilliantly crafted contemporary romance that not only offers an enticing combination of insightful characterization and electric sexual chemistry but also serves as an inviting guide to the vividly evoked delights of Edinburgh and the Isle of Skye.”

It’s such an honor to receive a trade review, especially when they has such lovely things to say!

Okay, phew. There’s always so much more to tell you than I realize when I set out to write these! Thanks for making it this far.

If you’ve read an early copy of SCOT AND BOTHERED, I would love, love, love if you’d write a review and share it on GoodReads, StoryGraph, or other social media. It makes a big difference come release day! And if you aren’t an ARC reader and plan to read SCOT AND BOTHERED when it comes out on March 4th, pre-orders are a huge deal to authors! You can pre-order wherever books are sold.

Thank you all for your support and excitement about this book! I can’t wait for you all to meet Jack and Brooke!

Hugs & kilts,

Alex
