Ruby Spencer's Whisky Year
by Rochelle Bilow
What’s your preferred cocktail, or favorite beverage?
Did you know that there is a difference between Whisky and Whiskey? I’m sure my husband would roll his eyes and tell me yes, but I just thought it was two different ways to spell the word. Whoops. Nope, the spelling has to do with where the Whisk(e)y is made. In this case, Scotland, so it is Whisky.
Ruby has decided to uproot her life in New Yoke and move to a tiny Scottish town to work on a cookbook. As soon as she sets foot in Thistlecross, she can’t get over how quaint it is and she’s excited for her adventure. Then she meets Brochan, and she can’t get over how ruggedly handsome and helpful he is. Even though she’s sworn off me, she sees a future with him. As they grow closer, Ruby uncovers secrets and encounters an impossible choice. Now Ruby must decide between love, loyalty, and the Highlands way of life.
Ah, what a cute and cozy read this was! I can see why it was one of Buzzfeed’s Romance books to look out for this year! I loved the writing – I felt like I was in Thistlecross with Ruby, right next to her the whole time. The setting is simply gorgeous and concreted my belief that I need to visit Scotland sometime in my life. The chemistry between Ruby and Brochan was sizzling hot! It was just fantastic. I recommend this for romance readers, especially those who enjoy the grumpy / sunshine trope.
This marvelous book is out Valentine’s Day, Feb 14th. Which is honestly, perfect.
