This was 100% a cover/title buy. It gave me good vibes. My husband is a huge bourbon man, and he loves doing tastings. That part of this book delivered. It was a lot of fun in the beginning, and the writing was pretty good to where I was flying through the book. The things I think this book suffered from was the plot point of the reason why Laney was running/hiding was not fully developed. It was very half done and didn't make a lot of sense to me. For this book being as long as it is, it definitely got a little repetitive and relied on the smut a little too much imo. I'm curious to see if the next book is better and will probably give it a try.

I keep wanting to read it. Caught my attention really well for a KU book. Great banter. He was dreamy

Hot, hot, hot…

The cover art drew me in. It’s subtly seductive and pulls you in. I am lucky that I listened to gut and put this on my TBR.

The tension, the slow burn and angst, the action and theeee spice…whew! It’s an excellent read and will not leave you wanting anything except the next installment which is why I waited until Bourbon & Secrets was released to read this one.

Enjoy!

I loved this book! Out of the many MANY romances I read this was slightly different yet had all the right things that I’m looking for in a romance.

I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

And the cover art is absolutely gorgeous!
