A review by might
Risks and Whiskey by Dani McLean

4.0

This book had some nice slow-burn vibes, and I really liked it! I started this series at book 2, and was underwhelmed, but this book is so much better. It helped for me that Wes and Liv are in deep so early in the story, as opposed to Book 2 where the leads were practically romantically ambivalent to one another for most of the book.

Liv and Wes are co-stars on a popular WB type fantasy show (I think the author was describing more of a Game of Thrones type show, but all I could imagine was Supernatural and Wes was giving me full Sam & Dean vibes, which I’m very into), and while Liv is dating the show’s director, Wes has spent 6 years in unrequited love/best friend land. When Liv’s relationship blows up in the media and the director calls things off, Liv turns to her best friend for support. But wait…Liv has always secretly had a crush on Wes too? Cue the angst and all the feels. I always enjoy Hollywood romances, and the media scrutiny and Executive machinations kept the story interesting.
