The path of true love rarely runs smoothly…
When former Edinburgh police detective Jack Baxter met local author and crofter Rachel Campbell on the Scottish island of Skye, they fell in love. It was a second chance at happiness for both of them.
They both had emotional baggage. Jack helped Rachel cope with unimaginable grief after the death in combat of her soldier son. Rachel was there for Jack after a criminal with a grudge almost ended his life. There were many bumps along the road but they believed they’d worked through and settled their differences.
However, Jack is struggling. Still suffering from post-traumatic stress, his past haunting him, and demons of self-doubt daunting him, he feels Rachel deserves better.
Meanwhile, Rachel is busy preparing for the launch of her latest book – a book in honour of her son and aimed at promoting peace. So at first, she fails to notice just how troubled Jack is.
Given that, can Jack overcome his demons?
Can Rachel convince Jack he deserves to be loved?
Can they finally resolve their differences and fulfil their dreams together?
Fulfilment is the third and final part in Rachel & Jack: The Skye series.
It follows on from Displacement (book 1) and Settlement (book 2).
If you like mature, emotional and thought-provoking contemporary romance in a dramatic setting, then this is a book for you.
About the Author:
Anne Stormont was born in Scotland and although she has travelled all over the world – including a teaching exchange to South Africa, four trips to Australia and several visits to the Middle East – it’s where she still lives.
She began making up stories as a child in order to entertain her four wee sisters. But as an adult, being busy with motherhood and working as a teacher, it took a long time and a mortality wake-up call for her to get that first book written.
She’s a compulsive crossworder, yoga practitioner, avid reader, keen walker and enthusiastic gardener. She can be a bit of a subversive old bat, but she tries to maintain a kind heart. She also loves tea, penguins and being with her grandchildren.
Fulfilment is the third of the 3 books in the Rachel & Jack: Skye Series. Anne’s books are all set in Scotland and are contemporary romances where the main characters may be slightly older but are not necessarily wiser.

Fulfilment Review:
I love this book and thought it was a wonderful conclusion to the series.
Firstly I loved how this book focuses more on Jack. I love reading stories where I can emotionally connect with the characters. In the previous novels, I loved Rachel’s character, but my heart went out to Jack in this one. The author wrote him in a wonderful manner where you see how he is struggling to get past his trauma. He suffers from PTSD after the incident with Tommy, and is doing his best to move forward. He struggles with nightmares and trusting people, and you just want the best for him. For me, Jack was the highlight of the story.
However, the story is not complete without Rachel. Although her character is not as compelling as Jack, I still enjoyed her storyline. One of the memorable scenes in the story is when Jack walks in on her in a compromising situation, which I did not expect. The author adds some very nice twists and turns to make the story memorable. Even the supporting characters like Bridget, Maddie, and Ailsa just add so well to the plot to help Jack.
While the story can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading the entire series from the beginning to get the full experience of this beautiful, heartwarming tale. What I really love about this series is that the romance is actually a secondary plot, and the self-empowerment and confidence of the characters is the main focus. I adore this series because in a way it also inspires you to be better and be thankful and appreciate life.
Overall, Fulfillment is a perfect conclusion to the series and I really enjoyed reading it!
I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the Fulfilment by Anne Stormont Blog Tour hosted by Love Books Tours.
