REVIEW:THE TROUBLE WITH WHISKEY is the first instalment in Melissa Foster’s contemporary, adult THE WHISKEYS: DARK KNIGHTS AT REDEMPTION RANCH erotic, romance series-a spin off from the author’s The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor and The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside. This is therapist Devlin ‘Dare’ Whiskey, and bar manager Billie Mancini’s story line. THE TROUBLE WITH WHISKEY can be read as a stand alone, you do not have to have read any of the previous series to understand or follow along.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Dare and Billie) using present day and memories from the past THE TROUBLE WITH WHISKEY follows the childhood friends to frenemies to lovers relationship between therapist Devlin ‘Dare’ Whiskey, and bar manager Billie Mancini. Devlin, Billie, and Eddie Baker grew up together in Hope Ridge, Colorado, and both boys/men fell in love with our story line heroine but Eddie jumped the gun, asking Billie to be his bride but an accident would claim the life of Eddie Baker. Six years would pass, and Billie continued to struggle with the guilt and grief, so much so that she pushed everyone she had ever loved out of her life including family, friends, and our story line hero but Devlin ‘Dare’ Whiskey refused to give up on the woman he loved, and vowed to pursue Billie Mancini to the end of his life. What ensues is the slow rebuilding friendship, and growing romance between Billie and Dare, and the potential fall-out as a disaster threatens to destroy all progress between Billie and Dare.

Billie, Dare and Eddie were dirt bike riders, and professional motocross racers but Eddie’s death pulled Dare and Billie apart, threatening a life long friendship in the face of guilt and grief. Dare Whiskey would become a licensed therapist, currently working at the family owned rehab centre Redemption Ranch, while Billie struggled to move on, opting to manage her father’s bar. Throughout the six years since Eddie’s death, Dare has battled with Billie for control of her heart, the heart of the woman Dare is hoping to claim as his own.

The relationship between Dare and Billie is one of second-chances, of a sorts. Best friends since childhood, Dare, Billie and Eddie did everything together but the loss of Eddie slowly shrouded our heroine in a cloud of grief, a cloud that follows her where ever she goes. Rejecting family, friends and the man that she loves, Billie struggles to move on from the past. The $ex scenes are intimate erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is another large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and fun secondary and supporting characters including both Billie and Dare’s families, friends, and several members of the Dark Knights.

THE TROUBLE WITH WHISKEY: The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch is an emotional, heart breaking and powerful story of love and friendship, family and relationships, acceptance and move forward. The premise is powerful; the romance is seductive ; the characters are struggling but healing and strong.
