Ruby Spencer's Whisky Year

“This book doesn’t just have a phenomenal romance at its heart—and a sexy Scotsman to swoon over—but a truly immersive sense of place, one that you’ll never want to leave once you’ve allowed yourself to discover Thistlecross’s inherent charms and the hilarious locals who inhabit this cozy village.”—Paste Magazine

“Ruby Spencer’s Whisky Year is utterly charming. Rochelle Bilow’s evocative writing made me feel like I was in a cozy Scottish cottage right alongside her irrepressible heroine, swooning over the local food, whisky, and strapping bearded handyman. I finished the book, my heart full and my stomach rumbling, then immediately googled ‘plane tickets to Scotland’.”—Laura Hankin, author of A Special Place for Women

“Rochelle Bilow’s debut is a transportive delight! The humor and warmth are like a sip of fine single malt, with all the depth and complexity of flavor to make you plan your own escape to Scotland. If you’re in search of a love story to make you feel like you’ve come home, don’t miss your chance to fall in love with this book.“—Denise Williams, author of Do You Take This Man

“The perfect cozy read for a chilly winter day.”—Culturess

“Bilow has written a romance that should be savored slowly, if only to thoroughly appreciate her poetic prose and immersive sense of place….A charming, lyrical debut about love and self-discovery.“—Kirkus Reviews

“Bilow’s debut is perfect for readers enamored of Scotland and friends-to-lovers romances.”—Booklist

“Food writer Bilow’s debut romance is just as charming as its Scottish village setting.“—Library Journal
