Bourbon & Lies by Victoria Wilder

5.0

5/5⭐️

Victoria Wilder has entered the chat and will absolutely NOT be leaving. This is my first book by her and will DEFINITELY not be my last.

This story follows Grant Foxx, an ex cop who retired early from the force to head home and make bourbon with the rest of his family after an awful incident, and Laney Young. Laney is placed in WITSEC after running into danger in a storage facility. After being placed on his families farm, Grant can’t help but be suspicious of who Laney is and how she got here. He also can’t deny that she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. Their secrets and lies catch up to them but they still fall into each other.

The banter in this story was EXQUISITE. Top tier. Everything. Their dynamic was so fun and flirty, but then had these really deep and profound moments that felt like a great balance. Their relationship just felt very natural from the moment he saw her in her oversized tshirt.

The suspense aspect of this book was also incredible. I loved the plot and story line that Victoria built into this book.

I ate this book up. Could not put it down. Refused to do anything except read about Grant and Laney. When I tell you I fell in love with not just the MMC but the FMC as well, I mean it. She had such bad B energy and I loved her for it.
