When handsome Scottish Laird Innes Buchanan meets beautiful Texan cowgirl Orley McKenna and brings her over to his impoverished estate in Scotland, it's for more than her expertise with cattle. But before their romance can properly begin, Orley has to contend with a run-down country mansion, a frosty Lady of the manor, and a vengeful ex-girlfriend who puts Lady Macbeth to the shade.Bagpipes and Bullshot is a wonderful romp of a novel with many laugh-out-loud moments from an author who knows how to entertain the reader. With a hero and heroine to fall in love with, and a cast of `larger than life' characters, Janice Horton has cleverly caught some of the unique differences between two cultures. The Dumfries and Galloway setting is brought vividly to life in the beautifully descriptive writing. Although this is a humorous novel, there is real background knowledge of the farming and cattle breeding concerns which lends authenticity to the story. Highly recommended.
