Taming My Whiskey is the first book from Melissa Foster that I have read and BAM ....this book blew my mind away. I had no idea what I was missing in not reading this author before. I have no clue why I waited so long. And I will admit what made me want to pick up this book? The cover. Yep I am that vain but those that know my reading tastes probably aren't shocked by this revelation. This is probably one of the best covers I have seen from this author. And I was so fascinated with this one. I would say this is Contemporary with a light mix of MC (but super light).
There’s only one woman in Peaceful Harbor worthy of my time, and she’s busy wrangling men for a good cause
Taming The Whiskey begins with our heroine who is the princess of Dark Knights MC. Her father is the President and she is well loved by all. She is the heart of the family and their businesses. And she has worked so hard to prove herself, which is pretty difficult with all her brothers who are tough badasses but now its her time to shine and boy does she shine so beautifully especially in her match up with Jace. Jace is tough and all alpha and not afraid of her family. He knows that she will be the perfect fit for the cover of his designer line for women bikers. Classy and sexy and that is Dixie in every way. Even though their romance starts out with a fling it turns into something Dixie has always dreamed of with her first crush.
I’d like to get every inch of my body on you and burrow so deep inside you that you still feel me the next week.
Taming The Whiskey was such a heart felt read and I fell in love with this book and what a PAGE TURNER. I just couldn't put this one down at all and I will admit I lost some sleep reading this one here....that is HOW good this one is. I will say from the beginning I fell for the Whiskey family ....every single one of them. I really adored how protective the family is over Dixie and yeah I can see how it would be difficult for Dixie to have any men in her life. They would intimidate most men. But there is one man they don't who is just as tough as they are ....Jace. Jace is a man Dixie has had a crush on for years but he has one fling after another. But until Dixie he never imagined wanting more. But Dixie will have Jace fight for her just as we see elements in the story show how she is willing to fight for her man. Loved seeing this balance and the conflict between them and reaching their beautiful HEA and the close knit family ties we see here. I can't wait to read all the books of the brothers. And if you are a Melissa Foster reader....tell me if the parents "Red and Biggs" have a book? I would dearly love their book.
Now I did want to go a bit further in the MC aspects of the story. Now this is very light in it. Probably the lightest I have ever seen to be honest. And this MC isn't like some of the others that are portrayed in the genre. They are viewed as honest law abiding citizens that reach out to help their community. And I really loved that. Now I think the only aspect of the story is I wanted more MC stronger theme. Its actually why I picked up this book and it wasn't as heavy as I would have preferred but despite that this author had me hooked and I can't wait to delve into the other books very soon.
Overall I found Taming My Whiskey to be a true delight to read and won my heart in every way....its a romance of family, trust and learning to fight for the one you love with all of your heart and soul. TRULY EMPOWERING!
