KILT TRIP

Vanessa Johansson and Angus King provide a dual narration for a romance set in Edinburgh, Scotland. Consultant Addie Macrae designs a business plan for Heart of the Highlands tour company. Logan Sutherland, who owns the company with his father, is deeply resistant to her profit-centric approach. Johansson matches Addie's businesslike attitude and embarrassment over her workplace crush. However, her brisk narration seems disconnected from Addie's deep grief over her mother's death. King captures Logan's stick-in-the-mud attitude of resistance to a tee, showing his resentment to his father's plans in surly dialogue. King's unique voices for the members of Logan's company and family will steep listeners in Scottish culture. The contrast between American and Scottish voices provides the perfect frame to this enjoyable across-the-pond romance. C.A. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
