It's All in the Whiskey Book 5
After the death of her mother, Paget Sour did what she could to help her father, but she had no idea how bad things had gotten, both financially, or medically. As things begin to unravel, and her father’s health takes a turn for the worse, Paget faces some of the tough decisions she’s ever had to make. All she wants is to is make her father’s last few months on this earth as comfortable as possible in the safety of his home.
But she can’t do it alone. Not if she wants to pay the bills, keep the house, and protect her father.
However, the last thing she needs is the pesky bartender who happens to make the best Whiskey Sour showing up offering his help, among other things.
Boone Wilder wants one thing, and one thing only. He wants to make Paget Sour his, and his alone. She comes into his bar regularly, orders a Whiskey Sour has a good chat, and then leaves, always refusing a date. So, when he hears about her sick father, it’s Boone to the rescue.
Only, Paget isn’t easily that won over, and Boone soon realizes, if he’s going to get the woman he loves, he’s going to have to make a few changes of his own.
And he’s going to have to come clean about one very big lie.
My Review:
This book can be read as a standalone, however it’s definitely more fun having read all the ones that come before it. It’s certainly handy to know who the Whiskey family are and why they’re so important to Paget. (And why she’s so important to them.) Boone’s story isn’t anything like I was expecting it to be. His secrets are some doozies and I’m not surprised at all that he tried to keep them secret. Their story was an emotional roller-coaster for me. Paget has clung, with such tenacity, to so many dark emotions, it was sometimes difficult to read about. But there were also wonderful silly and uplifting moments that kept the story from becoming too heavy. I don’t know if there are more Whiskey stories coming in the future, but I hope we get to come back and visit these characters some more.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
