Risks and Whiskey by Dani McLean
5.0
(I received an ARC for this book)
Trigger Warnings include:
references to parental death (cancer), and parental neglect.
A friends to lovers with great communication?! How did I get so lucky!? I felt Liv and Wes’s magnetic pull from the start. I was so excited to see how long it would take them before they didn't have a choice but to give in to it. Some forced proximity sure did the trick! Liv and Wes have been friends and working side by side for years. And in that time, they create such a beautiful bond that is unbreakable. We see it tested! But it never falters. I love how playful and carefree they are with each other. Their characters are in love, they're in love, and everything’s a secret. I couldn’t handle how wonderful it was! Wes’s witty humor brought me to tears; I loved it so much! And his gentle heart and unimaginable love for Liv…oh be still my heart! (I missed Tiff and I all but screamed when she squeezed her way in) The way Wes talked and thought about Liv, I got a crush on her! All those years kissing each other on camera, Wes has never slipped. All those nights with Liv’s cute ‘sit-wiggle-sigh’, he still never slipped. Just a couple days locked up together in his LA home…he’s hit his limit! Communication, communication, communication! About what they want out of life, their careers, their futures, their friendship, how they truly feel about each other. But no matter what, Liv achieving her dreams was what was most important to Wes, no matter what that cost him. As someone who was a teenager through the One Tree Hill years and the terrible things that have come out since about our favorite WB teen dramas, and getting to watch Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams fall in love on screen…I love this story SO much!

My Favorite Quotes:
• ‘Everything I thought I knew about love had come from a book or movie. And Liv.’
• “I’m with the sexiest woman on earth. What could I possibly complain about?”
• “I’ve always liked you.”
• “You changed my life.”
• “It’s only for you.”
• “The way I want to kiss you isn’t rated for general audiences.”
• “You’re not some itch I need to scratch.”
• “If you keep looking at me like that, I can’t be held responsible for me actions.”
• “I think you need something wet.”
• “You have to tell me what you want. Anything. I’ll give it to you.”
• “You’re so goddamn beautiful when you come.”
• “I won’t be able to take my eyes off you tonight.”
• “I’ve fallen so hard for you, I can’t remember a time before it. I don’t ever want to remember.”
• “They never lived up.”
• “Tell me again.”
