Must Love Kilts by Angela Quarles
4.0
adventurous emotional lighthearted medium-paced

“Oops I travelled back in time and got drunkenly handfasted to a random Highlander.”

It’s the time travel version of “Oops I accidentally married a stranger in Vegas” and I was here for it 😆

This had:
So much “my wife” 
Idiots to lovers
Highlander himbo
“Stay”—my favourite romance word

Is there a time travel romance author out there who puts more care into the history and world building than Angela Quarles? And the way she combines it with such bonkers and silly plots? That’s EXACTLY what I’m looking for.

That said, I’m discovering that there’s two types of time travel romances: one where our MC gets stuck in a new time and one where our MC can go back to their time whenever they want. This story was more the latter—and turns out, I like that one less.

It was cute that our heroine got to choose her HEA with a hunky kilt-wearing Jacobite but I was missing that “oh no I’m stuck in the past” existential panic.
