Under Scottish Stars

This long awaited finale to the MacDonald Family Trilogy doesn’t disappoint. Under Scottish Stars is Serena MacDonald Stewart’s story and it’s a good one. Sparks fly the moment she meets the family’s hotel manager, Malcolm Blake. Malcolm comes across as a bit crass, but underneath he’s a teddy bear. A lovable teddy bear, actually, especially when he’s with Serena’s children and his niece. Serena and Malcolm both are dealing with loss and heartache, which makes their relationship all the more tender. There are a few scenes where the entire family is together, which gives us the chance to get caught up on what’s been happening with James and Ian, and also one particularly humorous scene when the brothers make it clear Malcolm better not hurt their sister. It’s a good, solid conclusion, albeit sad because we must say goodbye to Skye and the MacDonald’s.
