Bourbon and Lies is filled with lust, mystery and banter. Friendly, mysterious characters with intriguing back stories, crime and danger, and everything in between, Bourbon and Lies had me gripped.
There are a lot of plots and characters that I would have liked to delve into more, for example, how Waz knew of Laney’s background and Hadley’s relationship with her family. Hopefully, more of that will come out in the next books in the series. Ace is such an enigma so fingers crossed we find out more about him.
There were some mistakes that made some scenes slightly confusing, switching from Laney to Grant as narrator for a sentence or two, for example. Editorial mistakes happen but there were several so definitely became noticeable.
