Scotch on the Rocks

A Novel

By: Elliot Fletcher

Narrated by: Russ Bain, Rebecca McClay

Opposites attract in this sexy Scottish romance between a young woman and the man who is completely off-limits, from the author of Whisky Business.

The Macabe Brother Rule Book (according to Juniper Ross):

1. Don’t look at a Macabe brother
2. Don’t talk to a Macabe brother
3. Don’t even think about a Macabe brother

It’s pretty tough for June to follow her own rules, considering one brother is in love with her best friend, one is her ex-fiancé, and one … well, one is super-hot, small-town hero Callum Macabe.

But when Callum seems to be popping up everywhere, especially when Juniper is at her most vulnerable, it’s hard not to imagine just how good breaking a rule might feel.

Slow burn, open door romance with a HEA

The sweetest black cat love story

I loved everything about this story. The emotions were deep, the yearning was intense, the communication was top tier. Even the conflict was handled with so much love and respect, and it was a legitimate conflict instead of a contrived scenario. I will recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Loved the narration as well. Their inflection and emotion gave the characters even more depth than they already had.
