✨ I received this book as an ARC for my honest review✨

Rate: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

This book had me hooked from the moment I started reading! It’s my first by Victoria Wilder, and wow, she’s totally got me hooked. This is the start of the Bourbon Boys series, and it has everything I love—small-town vibes, suspense, hot chemistry, and a whole lot of bourbon.

The story follows Grant Foxx, a grumpy ex-cop turned bourbon maker, and Laney Young, who’s in witness protection after some serious trouble back home. She ends up staying with the Foxx family in Fiasco, Kentucky, and it’s clear from the start that their lives are about to get a lot more complicated.

Grant is instantly suspicious of Laney, but he can’t deny the pull between them. Laney’s got a fierce, no-nonsense attitude that I loved, and she doesn’t take crap from anyone—especially not him.

The banter? Chef’s kiss. It's playful and flirty, but then you get these deep heartfelt moments that made me fall for both of them.

The slow burn between them is everything, and when bourbon gets involved? It’s downright explosive.
