My review:

The Trouble with Whiskey is the first book in The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch.  This branch of the Whiskey family was introduced in previous Whiskey family series, and I was so excited to finally see them get their own stories.  I have become such a fan of Ms. Foster’s and every one of her books become an auto read for me.  They just keep getting better and better!  This heartbreaking book is Devlin “Dare” Whiskey and Billie Mancini’s story.

“I’ve been in love with you since we were six years old, when you kissed me in the barn and called me a dummy.  It’s always been you, Billie”

Dare, Billie, and Eddie grew up pushing the limits with their stunts.  After Eddie died, Billie stopped doing all the things she loved.  Her grief and guilt had her pulling away from her family and friends.  Dare had loved Billie forever and is ready for her to start living life again.  Can he convince her to let go of her guilt and risk falling in love?

 

This was a beautiful and heartbreaking story that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride.  The three friends had so much history between them therefore Dare and Billie’s grief was so consuming.  My heart ached for them as they grieved and struggled to find peace and a way forward without Eddie.  Be prepared for all the emotions and a beautiful journey of friendship and family.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Exclusive Excerpt:

BILLIE PUSHED THE tray of drinks she was carrying high over her head as she weaved through the crowd, skirting the packed dance floor at the Roadhouse, her family’s biker bar, where she’d worked since she was old enough to earn a buck. She and her younger sister, Bobbie, had grown up in the rustic dive, hanging out while they did homework and washing dishes when they were shorthanded, because that’s what the Mancinis did. They got shit done and had one another’s backs. Much like the sea of guys who were there every night wearing black leather cuts—vests with the Dark Knights motorcycle club patches on them. Her father was the vice president of the club, and the bonds of that brotherhood were unbreakable. She approached the group of good-looking out-of-towners wearing khakis and dress shirts by the pool table who had ordered the drinks and was acutely aware of their slick-looking buddy eyeing her up as he waited for his turn at pool. They grew ’em big and strong around Hope Valley, Colorado, where ranches and livestock paid the bills for most families. Billie had a thing for calloused hands, scruffy faces, and no-bullshit men who had no use for suits and ties. But summertime brought all kinds of mountain-loving tourists to their small town. Drink! Drink! Drink!” a group of women chanted. Billie looked toward the commotion and saw three busty women standing shoulder to shoulder, each cradling a shot glass between her breasts. Devlin “Dare” Whiskey licked the swell of one of the giggling blonde’s breasts, and she shook salt onto the wet spot. You’ve got to be kidding me. As the girl handed the shaker to the girl beside her, Dare licked the salt off her breast and wrapped that big ornery mouth of his around the shot glass. He tipped his too-frigging-handsome face back as he downed the shot hands-free. Well, his hands weren’t actually free. As the girls whooped and cheered, he hauled that blonde into a kiss, then made his way to the next giggling girl and repeated the whole damn thing. Fucking Dare.
