Pitching Up at Heather Glen - Blog Tour
Review - 4 out of 5 stars:
I’ve not read anything by Margaret Amatt before, but this book sounded like fun, so I thought I’d give it a try.
I was right, it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed reading about the campsite, and Logan, who is struggling to keep it going. The scenes where Eleanor and Logan were sneaking around to see each were funny and entertaining. I found their growing relationship satisfying to read.
However, I found some of Logan’s thoughts despicable and disgusting. This sentence in particular: “He wanted to own her, worship her and make her completely and utterly his.” That just turns my stomach. You can’t OWN another person! Since he mostly seems respectful in his actions, I can only hope this is some sort of mental aberration. He also calls himself (out loud) her god, which I sincerely hope is a joke.
Unfortunately, after that I wasn’t able to enjoy the story as much, as I was concerned about Eleanor getting into an abusive relationship when she’s so vulnerable after losing her Mum.
However, if you omitted the sentence about owning and worshipping her (not healthy relationship dynamics!), and the one about him being a god 🙄, this was a fun story about falling in love and working out how to be together, and happy again after loss. And it has a great happy ending that I felt was really respectful of the characters’ journey. I really enjoyed the setting of the campsite in Scotland too, and the various places that Eleanor and her father visited.
My star rating reflects how I feel about the story without the sentences I find objectionable.
I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own.
TW: death of mother prior to start of story, sentence about wanting to own a person.
Book Description:
Pitching Up at Heather Glen
One camping trip, two hearts, and a love that knows no bounds
Logan Ramsay may be intelligent and energetic, but buying Heather Glen campsite could be the worst decision he’s ever made. Working a summer job there as a teenager was a dream, but owning it is a nightmare. He’s barely keeping his head above water and his big plans are on hold.
Sensible and reliable Eleanor Kendrick has had a heartbreaking year, losing her beloved mother, and being dumped by her boyfriend. Both Eleanor and her father are struggling to cope. Their camping trip to the Scottish Highlands was meant to rekindle some happiness at a place they both loved in the past, but it gets off to the worst possible start when her father falls on a hill walk. Eleanor falls too – for her father's drop-dead gorgeous rescuer, Logan.
The attraction between Eleanor and Logan sparks more heat than a campfire, but will the love they’ve kindled in the glen peter out, or can they find a way back to each other once the holiday is over?

Author Bio:
Margaret is a Scottish author and chocolate lover who has been writing stories for over twenty years (possibly more if you count her primary school efforts). Her early works will never see the light of
day and are locked in dusty vaults on some old floppy disks. But after all those years of practise, Margaret released her first novel A Winter Haven in 2021. This is the first of a ten-book series set on the gorgeous Scottish Isle of Mull. Margaret has also written three books in The Glenbriar Series with more planned for 2023.
The stories are unashamedly romantic but with lots of drama and an eclectic mix of characters. Each
book can be read as a standalone but followers of the series will enjoy catching up with the characters.
