The Trouble with Whiskey by Melissa Foster

5.0

Note: An ARC was provided by the author.

The trouble with Melissa Foster's series starters is that they not only get me hooked, they end up with me all obsessed for everything to come! She's taking readers to Hope Valley, Colorado via her new series, The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch. If you're a longtime reader of Foster's, you'll remember that the Dark Knights are a motorcycle club with two of its chapters having been featured in some of the author's other series, as well as having a couple of their own series, The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor and The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside. You don't necessarily need to read any of the books from the aforementioned series, but if you're looking for MC romance stories with a lot of heart and heat and a focus on family and community, I highly recommend you check the Dark Knights novels out. If you're new to Foster's writing, feel free to start with this one.

I had absolutely no trouble falling for every single thing about The Trouble with Whiskey. This was a story about love and friendship and learning to live again after losing someone who matters. Both Dare and Billie were such rich characters with layers to them. They were a study in contrasts when it came to how they dealt with Eddie's untimely passing, as well as other challenges that they came across. I loved seeing these two best friends who always felt so much more for each other rediscover their friendship and finally embrace their true feelings. Aside from the main story, readers get glimpses of the rest of the supporting cast of characters, the most notable ones I'm already eager to get to know better as this new series moves forward. Five-plus stars for the series starter!
