A kilt meets dress modern love story.
If you like good guy geek heroes
who look hot in kilts, strong, intelligent heroines, and poignant romance, then
you’ll love Almost Jamie, the first book in Gina Robinson’s new light, fun
contemporary romance Jet City Kilt series.
Half American, half English
physician Blair Edwards has always wanted her Jamie, the Sinclair, the dashing
Highland laird of the wildly popular TV series, Jamie. Unfortunately, it’s so
hard to find a man like him in the modern world. When the stars of Jamie come
to Seattle’s Jet City Comicon, Blair dresses up as Jamie’s Elinor in a vibrant
red gown, hoping to get a seat in their popular presentation and a good view of
the handsome, charming star of the show. She doesn’t expect to be called on to
use her medical skills to treat an injured cosplayer who looks almost
like…Jamie. And sets her wounded heart racing.
Cosplayer, geek, app designer,
and cyber security expert Austin MacDougall has been styled by his matchmaker
to look like the actor who plays Jamie. He’s been trying to win the prize for
best amateur cosplayer for years. Against the advice of his friends, he goes to
Jet City Comicon in a kilt as Jamie, the striking redheaded Highlander. When
he’s injured during a mock battle with a vicious cosplaying orc, his friends
get him help from a beautiful doctor in a stunning red dress.
Has Austin met his Elinor? The
adventure is just beginning…

EXCERPT:
Austin pulled me past Jet City Comicon’s VIP waiting area to the
front of the general admission crowd waiting to see the stars of Jamie. He seemed energized.
Several fan clubs gathered together at the front of the line,
wearing buttons and holding banners.
He approached the throng and blew them kisses. "Lovely ladies!" Suddenly, Austin was Jamie, as played by Connor, right
down to the convincing, and sexy, Scottish accent.
The cheering crowd felt his charisma and did a collective swoon.
I was so close to him, I was nearly bowled over by the switch and power of
personality.
"Beautiful lasses, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Especially
as you're so enthusiastic. But I'm no Connor Reid. I'm his long-lost American
cousin." He winked. "Or so we decided when I was tipping back Scotch
with him last night."
The crowd quieted, enthralled.
"That's right." He nodded and cocked his head the same
way Connor did. "Get a good look at me up close." He leaned in to one
of the women nearest the cords holding the crowd back.
"Well? Austin asked in his best brogue. "Do I do him
justice?"
The woman stared at him, scrutinizing him with breath held.
"You may not be Connor, but you're gorgeous and every bit the Jamie I
imagined from reading the books."
Austin took both of her hands in his. "Aye, you're sweet to
say so." He lifted her right hand to his lips and brushed it with a kiss.
Austin stepped away from her and pulled me forward. "I'd
like to introduce you to my Elinor. Even though she's a Sassenach, isn't she
beautiful?"
"Take a bow," he whispered to me, grabbing my hand and
bowing with me. "This is Blair Edwards." He gestured to my gown.
"Look at this meticulous re-creation of Elinor's dress she made!"
He spoke to the crowd again, dropping his accent now.
"We're both cosplayers—we do this for the fun of it. And
because we love Jamie!"
Now here’s the

It does sound like fun - something we all need more of.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound like a lot of fun, Mason - a mix, as you say, of comedy and romance. I like the music woven in, too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is delightful and the author is very talented and creative.
