I am excited to be on the blog tour for Margaret Amatt’s most recent release, Fight or Flirt on the Scenic Route.
The Blurb
She’s about to take him on a journey he never saw coming
After a couple of dreadful years, Elise Reid has finally found success working for a coach tour operator in Glasgow. But when she’s sent back to her hometown of Glenbriar to cover for a sick colleague, she finds herself stuck on a coach with her ex-fiancé… plus his new wife, his stroppy little sister, and his best friend – a man who’s always hated her.
Burnt out and searching for a break, eco-blogger and environmental activist Gabe Wilder decides a coach tour with his best friend would be a good way to unwind and reset. But when the tour guide shows up, Gabe can’t believe his bad luck. He and Elise have never got on, and after what she did to his best friend, he’s kept her at arm’s length, despite a simmering attraction he’s never confessed to anyone – even himself.
Unfortunately, neither Elise nor Gabe’s resistance to each other got the memo, and the more time they spend together, the more their chemistry sizzles. But between the watchful eyes of the group and the knowledge that this trip has an expiry date, giving in to temptation is a mistake waiting to happen. If they want a real chance at happiness, they must stop looking back, take a risk, and trust that sometimes, the best detours lead exactly where they’re meant to be.
My Review
Fight or Flirt on the Scenic Route by Margaret Amatt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved reading this by the poolside. There was somewhere to cool off when it got a bit steamy, lol!
Elise Reid is the FMC. She is loving her life in Glasgow, but her company requires her to make a possibly temporary move back home to Glenbriar, where there are many poor memories and soured relationships with exes and friends.
Gabe Wilder, the MMC and a semi-famous environmental podcaster, is the best friend of one of Elise’s exes. And he’s not her biggest fan.
Upon Elise’s return home, she must serve as the tour guide for a group of people, including her ex, his wife, his sister, and her boyfriend, as well as Gabe, whom she knows dislikes her.
You can feel the build-up of tension and chemistry between two people who know they shouldn’t feel anything for one another, yet can’t help their physical yearnings, which brings them to an agreement to quench their thirst for one another with a little holiday fling. But oh, my goodness, the chemistry between the two of them leaves us all wondering if they would ever manage to stop at a couple of bunk-ups!
There is a side story involving Scarlett, Elise’s ex’s sister, and a troublesome boyfriend who causes her significant pain, adding more drama to the book.
I sped through this in one day and thoroughly enjoyed it!

About the Author
Margaret Amatt is a bestselling Scottish author, professional daydreamer, and certified chocolate addict. She’s been making up stories for as long as she can remember – some of them even made it onto paper (and, tragically, onto floppy disks that no computer can read anymore). After two decades of writing in secret, she finally unleashed her first novel on the world in 2021, kicking off a ten-book series set on the stunning Isle of Mull.
But why stop there? She’s also the creator of The Glenbriar Series, where romance, small-town drama, and a pinch of spice keep readers coming back for more. This series is still going strong, with more books planned!
Margaret has spent her whole life in Scotland’s breath-taking Highland Perthshire, despite her entire extended family coming from the Glasgow area. Her books are romantic and emotional, sweet and funny, and each one can be read as a standalone, but long-time readers know the joy of familiar faces popping up, adding to the chaos.
So, if you love relatable characters, sizzling chemistry, and plenty of banter, you’re in the right place – just don’t blame Margaret when you stay up way too late reading just one more chapter.
