I really enjoyed this book. The Scottish setting was perfect, and it did wonders for the atmosphere of the book. The story was solid, and Brochan was to die for. I found this to be a great romance, and can heartily recommend it!

OK. This started off alright—I could connect to Ruby quite a bit and was rooting for her cookbook. Until the love interest happened. From the start, I did not see the chemistry between them which made all the "was he flirting?" thoughts very awkward. I also expected this to be partially salvaged by being a properly steamy book but even there I was disappointed. Of course, the setting is fun and the focus on food great, but the most chemistry Ruby had was with Grace; even her so-called friendship with Anne felt too random. There is definitely an audience for this (saying this as an Outlander fan) but it wasn't my cup of tea.

This book was cute and fun. I enjoyed the setting a lot and getting to know all of the different characters was a lot of fun! I felt like I went in with my expectations a little higher than I should have and was a little let down. The book felt so fast paced and I felt like some dialogue could’ve been added to make it less confusing. It was overall a good book and a quick read.
