I loved the setting in the small Scottish town. The romance did absolutely nothing for me.
A really enjoyable read that kept a big smile on my face for days!
The easy cosy heartwarming soul-feeding romance between Ruby and Brochan was exactly what I needed in preparation for my trip to Edinburgh.
Shoutout to the two MC for being “on the wrong side” of 35!!!! There is hope for us just yet! ;)
The secondary characters were fab and I have to say, this third act breakup was justified and believable and yes I am also shocked that I am writing this!
I just want my own rugged Scot that prefers rhubarb preserves to apples, is that too much to ask?!
BIG SIGH. Perhaps I also need a year in the Highlands.
(Though I would very probably be fully content just being able to sit in the background of every scene and sample each dish that was described in this book. Yum!)
4.5 stars rounded up.

this one fell really short for me and it makes me so sad because I was looking forward to it!
the fmc was, honestly, really annoying. felt a bit childish most of the time. then towards the end, I thought she was just acting "too much" if that makes sense.
mmc wasn't bad, though he had some childish moments. but we didn't get his POV so that was a letdown.
I thought the plot was going somewhere, but it didn't flow well for my liking.
overall, disappointed *shrugs*

I love the cover and I love all the elements of this story: food, Scotland, whisky, small town, and living in an old cottage with a kitchen garden and chickens. But I found the pace to be very slow. And the heroine got on my nerves - she takes off to spend a year in Scotland writing a cookbook but has no real solid plan and just sort of floats around aimlessly. She came across as ditzy and TSTL. DNF.
