Family secrets threaten the future of Brodie and Ishabel’s happiness
ISHABEL STUART is at the crossroads of her life. Her wealthy industrialist father has died unexpectedly, leaving her a half-share in a ruined whisky distillery on a Scottish and the task of scattering his ashes on a Munro. After discovering her fiancé playing away from home, she cancels their lavish Christmas wedding at St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh and heads for the only place she feels safe - Eilean na Sgairbh, a windswept island on Scotland’s west coast - where the cormorants outnumber the inhabitants, ten to one.
When she arrives at her family home - now a bed and breakfast managed by her left-wing, firebrand Aunt Esme, she finds a guest in situ - BRODIE. Issy longs for peace and the chance to lick her wounds, but gorgeous, sexy American, Brodie, turns her world upside down. In spite of her vow to steer clear of men, she grows to rely on Brodie. However, she suspects him of having an ulterior motive for staying at her aunt’s Bed and Breakfast on remote Cormorant Island. Having been let down by the men in her life, will it be third time lucky for Issy? Is she wise to trust a man she knows nothing about - a man who presents more questions than answers?
As for Aunt Esme, she has secrets of her own . . .

Reviews for Scotch on the Rocks
5.0 out of 5 stars An auburn-haired hero in a kilt. What more do you need?


Lizzie Lamb has already demonstrated that she is an expert in writing romantic fiction. She creates believable main characters who fall in once-in-a-lifetime love; she devises imaginative and unusual conflicts and tensions that threaten to keep the lovers apart; she develops a rich cast of supporting players who help and hinder the resolution to the lovers' problems; and she describes fascinating and beautiful settings in which their story unfolds. Catherine

Such an enticing read could not put it down, loved every page of the story . Parts made me laugh and some made me weep but over all a very beautiful novel. Highly recommend. Pamela Mackenzie

My favourite characters were Isabella - the Italian opera diva and Pershing the parrot. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others. Astrid Bennett-Claas

A cast of great characters complement Issy and Brodie, including the brilliant Pershing - a parrot with a somewhat cheeky mouth! His comic timing is epic. India

Anticipating where the plot was leading in this novel, of course I was wrong! It just goes to show, Lizzie Lamb keeps us guessing right to the end! Theresa Le Flemm

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

After working as a deputy head teacher in a large primary school, Lizzie decided it was time to leave the chalk face and pursue her first love: writing. She joined the Romantic Novelists’ Association’s New Writers’ Scheme, honed her craft and wrote Tall, Dark and Kilted(2012), quickly followed a year later by Boot Camp Bride. Lizzie loves the quick fire interchanges between the hero and heroine in the old black and white Hollywood movies, and hopes this love of dialogue comes across in her writing. Although much of her time is taken up publicising Tall, Dark and Kilted and Boot Camp Bride, she has published a third novel SCOTCH ON THE ROCKS and started researching number four. Lizzie is a founding member of indie publishing group - New Romantics Press. In November 2014 they held an Author Event at Waterstones High Street, Kensington, London the icing on the cake as far as they are concerned - and a fitting way to celebrate their achievements. As for the years Lizzie spent as a teacher, they haven't quite gone to waste as she is building up a reputation as a speaker on the subject of self-publishing. She hopes you enjoy reading Scotch on the Rocks and that you will check out her other novels.
