ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 10, 2024

Sasha Whiskey is done being the good girl. She’s ready to wrangle in the one man not looking to be caught and give him a taste of Whiskey. With any luck, one taste won’t be nearly enough. Come along for the steamy, emotional ride in this friends-to-lovers, forbidden romance.

Equine rehabilitation therapist Sasha Whiskey has everything she needs right there on Redemption Ranch—a job she’s passionate about, a loving family, and Ezra Moore, the sexy single father who went from trying to nail her as a belligerent teen to keeping his distance as a successful therapist and the person to whom she compares every other man. She’s done with comparisons. She wants the real thing. But going after what she wants means risking everything they’ve both worked so hard to achieve. If only dating co-workers weren’t forbidden.

REVIEW: A TASTE OF WHISKEY is the third  full-length instalment in Melissa Foster’s contemporary, adult THE WHISKEYS: DARK KNIGHTS REDEMPTION RANCH erotic, romance series focusing on the Whiskey family- a part of the author’s numerous interconnected series. This is bank teller / horse rehabber Sasha Whiskey, and therapist/ single father Ezra Moore’s story line. A TASTE OF WHISKEY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Sasha and Ezra) A TASTE OF WHISKEY follows the friends to lovers relationship between our story line couple. Sasha and Ezra have danced around one-another since Sasha was fifteen years old but a perceived rejection by Ezra pushed Sasha into the friend zone where she has remained until present day. Now a divorced, single father on a five year old son, Ezra struggles to keep his need for Sasha a secret, a secret that could threaten both of their jobs. Redemption Ranch has a no fraternization policy between employees, and our couple are breaking all kinds of rules. What ensues is the building romance and forbidden relationship between Ezra and Sasha, and the potential fall-out when the truth is revealed.

The world building follows several paths including Ezra tempestuous relationship with his ex-wife, a woman who is more concerned about her social life than her five year old child. Working with the Whiskeys at Redemption Ranch, Ezra is part of the close-knit family, a family he wants for his son.

The relationship between Ezra and Sasha is a friends to lovers: a forbidden relationship in which our couple hide their affair behind closed doors in the wake of the potential fall-out for everyone concerned. Ezra and Sasha’s attraction to one another is no secret but their romance is about to take centre stage. The $ex scenes are erotic and provocative-Ezra likes to talk dirty.

Once again, as per Melissa Foster’s style of writing, and the large number of interconnected series, and character cross-overs, the secondary and supporting characters are familiar and fun.

A TASTE OF WHISKEY is a story of secrets and lies, friendships and relationships, family, love and acceptance. The character driven premise is compelling and riveting ; the characters are sassy, animated and dynamic; the romance is seductive and spicy.
