    About this audiobook

    I met Jamie Fraser when I was nineteen years old. He was tall, redheaded, and at our first meeting at least, a virgin. I fell in love hard, fast, and completely. He knew how to ride a horse, wield a sword, and stitch a wound. He was, in fact, the perfect man. That he was fictional hardly entered into it.
    At twenty-nine, Emma Sheridan's life is a disaster, and she's tired of waiting for the perfect boyfriend to step from the pages of her favorite book. There's only one place to look, and it means selling everything and leaving her world behind. With the aid of an unexpected collection of allies, can Emma face down a naked fishmonger, a randy gnome, a perfidious thief, and even her own abdominal muscles on the journey to find her Fraser?Contains mature themes.

      Is the grass greener on the other side… what if that grass is in Scotland?Emma Sheridan just turned 29 and her personal life is in tatters so she decides to sell everything and fly to Scotland. Why Scotland? Because it is the location of her favorite book, OUTLANDER (that is how she writes it every time it is mentioned). She decides to blog about her adventures in the foreign land, with the main goal of finding her very own kilt-clad Jamie Fraser. As you would guess, things do not go according to plan and after several missteps things finally come together… or do they?I have read many ‘spin-off/inspired by’ books so I was looking forward to a familiar backdrop of an Outlander obsessed fan. From the get-go, the main character’s decision making skills seemed more in sync with a 19 year old not a 29 year old. I often found myself rolling my eyes at her antics, whether it was due to her naiveté or just poor judgment—it was hard to determine which some times. Either way I wanted to shake her! In the end it was a fun read, nothing serious…. Great for a quick, light beach read.
    • 4/5
      It was fun even if a little predictable and Emma was likable even if a little unbelievable.
    • 5/5
      Super fun book , but you really won’t get the full impact unless you are familiar with that special subculture of Outlander fans.
    • 3/5
      I have some mixed feelings about this book. I kind of liked it but I also kind of didn't like it. There were times that I liked Emma and times that I didn't. I never once like Sophia and I really don't like that there was never a true confrontation between the sisters nor was there a resolution. I found it odd that Emma was so leary of so many people but yet was completely accepting of this a very obvious scam artist. It just didn't add up well for me. I enjoyed reading about her journey though and the connection with Outlander. I also really loved her time in Nairn Scotland. Jack and Geordie were also very likable secondary characters and made for great relationships with Emma. Overall I feel if you are a fan of Outlander than this is a fun read that I recommend.

      Emma Sheridan is twenty-five, divorced, and survivor of an overall badly failed love life. She's also just been fired from her job as a barista at a Chicago Starbucks. She also has a sister is more than prepared to tell Emma exactly what's wrong with every decision and choice she's ever made in her life.

      But Emma has a plan. She's sold all her possessions, cashed in all her savings, and is going to Scotland to look for her very own Jamie Fraser. For the one or two people out there who may not know, Jamie Fraser is the male romantic lead in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander time travel romance series. And she's going to blog about her adventures.

      Emma is a smart, capable young woman who is willing to work hard, and she makes some incredibly dumb decisions. I don't mean just romantic decisions, although some of her decisions she makes after meeting Hamish make me want to shake some self-respect into her.

      She makes an utter fool of herself when she has a chance to meet Diana Gabaldon in Philadelphia on her way to NYC to catch her plane to Scotland. Something else happens in Philly that, if I said what I want to say, it would be a spoiler. She gets taken by a transparently obvious con artist.

      And there is the awkward issue of how much she is willing to compromise and wear blinders to let herself go on believing that Hamish is her personal Scottish warrior.

      And yet she's friendly, likable, no shrinking violet, and willing to work hard to keep her adventure alive after events that should have brought it to an abrupt and ignominious end. She also does not let her superior, condescending pill of a sister undermine her confidence and determination.

      Despite all my complaints about this book, Emma is hard not to like, and hard not to cheer for. A good light read.

      I received a free electronic galley of this book from the publisher via NetGalley.

      This book was pretty up and down for me. There were times I liked it and there were times I didn't. Overall it held my interest enough to keep reading and I'm glad I finished it. I really felt like Emma was overly naive in this book. So many things were obvious but she continued to be oblivious. I really liked Jack's character and wish he had been more present in the story.
    • 5/5
      Emma is a bit of at ends. She just turned 29 and her life is pretty much falling apart. Since she loves the Outlander book series, and is in love with the fictional character of Jamie (and which of us hasn't been in her shoes with some book or another?), she decides to sell all of her things and go to Scotland to find him, writing a blog along the way.I just finished this one and couldn't put it down, really and truly! I love happy endings, and I love twists and turns and kind of thinking something was going to happen, but not being sure about it. It's nice and comfy without being boring or entirely predictable. If you've read Outlander, you won't be disappointed with this one. I'm not sure what else to say. It's like chick lit, but with a bit more meat on it - but not heavy or tiring at all; I raced through it! There was humor and the characters were very real (the villain Sunshine aside). And look, it's so good, it got its own exclamation marks! Super cute!

      You may be surprised that I think a 3 star book is "worthy of my shelves." The thing about my shelves is that I like to save space for books that I could see myself recommending and lending to others. This is one of those books. Finding Fraser is about a woman, whose life is on the fast track to nowhere, going on a journey to find her own Jamie Fraser. She's a bit naive and a little out there, but I loved the premise of the book and enjoyed the journey. My one issue would have to be her little blog. Maybe posts like that worked in 2008, but not-so-much these days, especially for the amount of interaction she had.
      This book is perfect for: Anyone who has read or watched Outlander.
    • 5/5
      This book has been out for a while now, but I just refused to buy it because, how good can it be?! I mean, I am one of millions of OUTLANDER fans out there that thinks no one can come close to writing as good as Herself, right?!

      Imagine my surprise when I opened my Christmas gift from my husband. My first thought was, as I looked at it and then my hubby, OMG! He’s paying attention when I ramble on and on about OUTLANDER! My second was, SHIT! Now I have to read it, or I’ll hurt his feelings.

      Well, I read it and WTH! I just loved it. It was interesting, engaging, funny, sweet and surprisingly very well written.

      I enjoyed the heroine’s POV and loved the way author took me on a journey which I’ll never undergo. She made me feel like I was there!

      If you’re like me and are having doubts about this book, please succumb and buy it. You’ll be so glad you did.

      The story is about Emma Sheridan, who, at 29, having been fired from her job and with no romantic prospects, drops everything to leave Chicago, travel to Scotland, and maybe find her own Jamie Fraser as in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. She also starts a blog to document her progress.This book has a cute premise, and I liked the way narrative chapters were interwoven with blog posts. The fact that the blog posts had comments also added to the fun. But I thought the quality of the book was very uneven. The parts about Scotland were sketchy - there she is crying over Culloden, for example, but if you weren’t already familiar with what happened there, you wouldn’t get much information here beyond the fact that many Scots died there for some reason or other. And after a very short time in the country, she starts referring to “my beloved Highlands.” Really?Moreover, early on in the story, she is robbed in Scotland. You would think she would have then taken steps to protect her credit, for example, or to file an insurance claim, particularly since she was in constant contact with her sister, the Chief Financial Officer of a big Chicago firm. But inexplicably, she never takes any of the necessary steps. Also, since the outcome was obvious, it would have been nice to find out more about her eventual romantic interest, who, it might be noted, only had about twenty minutes of contact with Emma before he became smitten. Instead, a yahoo that Emma thinks looks like Jamie occupies most of the story and most of Emma’s (and our) time. She is so clearly trying to fit this totally inappropriate guy (jerky to the point of caricature) into an Outlander-shaped procrustean mold that it’s hard to fathom why she doesn’t see this herself. Finally, there wasn’t very much about the Outlander series in this book at all, aside from the Scotland setting and the jokes about kilts. Oh, and Emma’s tendency, whenever anything went wrong, to turn to the Outlander books and chase fantasies from them for solace. Her coping skills leave a lot to be desired.Still, I think the author shows promise and creativity. Some of the characters, like Morag McGuinty, and Ashwin Patel, are very entertaining. Too bad Emma herself was so lacking.
    • 4/5
      If you have enjoyed the Outlander series, then this is a fun book you should read. Emma really wants a Jamie of her own, and she sets out to find him. I laughed out loud a few times, and I truly enjoyed the descriptions of Scotland. This is a romance and a journey that are both enjoyable.

      SPOILER ALERT! Finding Fraser by kc dyer was a recommended read for fans of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Being a HUGE Outlander fan myself—and devotee of Jamie Fraser—I naturally checked it out. All in all, I really enjoyed the story. It’s witty, inspiring, entertaining, relatable. Anyone who has read Outlander has dreamed about finding their ‘Jamie Fraser’. As a reader, I was transported to Scotland tagging along on Emma’s journey. With that said, I have a few complaints. First, the plot was entirely too predictable. I knew Emma was going to end up with Jack after their very first meeting. It was also clear to me that Rebecca, who she thought was his girlfriend, was actually his agent. The see-through plot made the book drag on a little because I kept waiting for the inevitable to happen. Second complaint, when the inevitable did happen, the book was over! It was a bit anti-climactic. There was no build-up, no pining. And actually, with the exception of a few chance meetings and an email here and there, Jack was barely in the book at all until the end. I wish the book spent more time on Emma’s and Jack’s relationship. The ending does leave the door wide open to a sequel though—fingers crossed! And third complaint—where was the romance? I was expecting love scenes like those between Claire and Jamie in Outlander. At the end when Emma and Jack finally did hook up at the stones, the book gave no details. Despite its flaws, I enjoyed the book and would recommend Finding Fraser to anyone who can’t get enough Outlander! You’ll find yourself adding ‘Outlander tour of Scotland’ to your bucket list.

      Finding Fraser is a charming, well-written story about an obsessed Outlander fan trying to find her very own Jamie Fraser. It's actually not so much a romance as a story of self-discovery with elements of a romantic comedy. The heroine is a 29-year-old American who leaves her sorry life in Chicago behind and sets off for an extended trip round Scotland in search of a real-life Jamie Fraser. During her stay in various places (Edinburgh, Stirling, Nairn in the Highlands etc.) she has some funny adventures, meets some interesting characters and gets herself into some trouble.If you've read at least the first book in the Outlander series (or maybe watched the TV program) (I listened to it on audio and really liked it), you might be more likely to enjoy this, as there are obviously quite a few references to the book. It's a lighthearted, sometimes comical story featuring an almost annoyingly naive woman. I couldn't believe she was meant to be 29. She really wasn't the brightest cookie in the jar.I would recommend this for fans of Outlander, fans of Scotland, or anybody looking for an entertaining, quirky Rom-Com.There is an audio version available. However, I would recommend reading this in print and imagining the various accents in your head. It's very difficult to pull off English, Scottish and Irish accents with authenticity and not every narrator is successful (yup, that's me attempting to be tactful). I can usually identify accents but I'm hopeless at trying to imitate them. Anyway, I appreciate that the narrator here had a difficult task. She was pretty good at portraying the protagonist's personality, though.Thanks to the publisher for providing me with a copy of the book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The audio version was purchased by myself.

      Great story.. almost forgot it WAS a story.. and not a real life happening.. particularly the way she wrote the blog along the way :) Even had a good ending.. sort of half expected.. and she did sort of take the coincidence thing to a new level - even competing with DG (Herself) on that score. Laughed and cried all the way through.. was going to tell you K.C. Dyer to write a sequel but I guess we don't really need that do we :) *winks*
