ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 19,2023

When Sullivan Tate escaped from a cult, leaving behind the only life she’d ever known, she thought she’d already endured the most difficult things she’d ever have to deal with. She knew she needed to figure out who she was, but she hadn’t expected to fall for overprotective and sexy-as-hell Callahan “Cowboy” Whiskey along the way. How can she give her heart to a man who has always known exactly who he is, when she’s only just begun figuring that out about herself?

REVIEW:FOR THE LOVE OF WHISKEY is the second full-length instalment in Melissa Foster’s contemporary, adult THE WHISKEYS: DARK KNIGHTS AT REDEMPTION RANCH erotic, romance series. This is Callahan ‘Cowboy’ Whiskey, and Sullivan Tate aka Cassandra ‘Casey’ Lawler’s story line.FOR THE LOVE OF WHISKEY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storylines is revealed where necessary. For back story, there is a prequel short story FREEING SULLY focusing on Sully’s escape from a local cult.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Sully and Callahan) FOR THE LOVE OF WHISKEY follows in the aftermath of Sullivan Tate’s escape from a cult where she had been groomed to service the man in charge. With the help of a trucker and his wife, Sully finds herself at Redemption Ranch in Hope Ridge, Colorado where our heroine will come face to face with her future in the guise of Callahan ‘Cowboy ‘ Whiskey. Callahan’s parents own and work at Redemption Ranch, a safe harbor for those struggling with fall-out of life and loss but Callahan never expected to fall in love with our story line heroine.As the Dark Knights put together a plan to take down the cult, Sullivan Tate must come to terms with the reality of who she was, and the family she knew nothing about. Kidnapped at the age of four, Sullivan Tate only knew the control of the cult; freedom was always a dream too far out of reach. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Sully and Callahan, and the potential fall-out when the family she never knew is hoping for Sully to return to their home.

The relationship between Sully and Callahan begins when Callahan becomes guardian, protector and mentor to a woman who knows nothing about the outside world. With the help of the therapists and rehab workers at Redemption Ranch, Sully will make great strides in her recovery, a recovery that now includes the man with whom she will fall in love. Callahan’s slow seduction of Sully may come at a cost when our hero is warned about crossing a line from whence he may never come back. The $ex scenes are seductive, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and energetic secondary and supporting characters many of whom we have met in the author’s numerous, interconnected series. We are reintroduced to Sully’s biological sister Jordan Lawler and her husbandJax Braden (THEN CAME LOVE: The Bradens & Montgomerys:Pleasant Hill-Oak Falls ), as well as Callahan’s siblings Birdie, Sasha, Dare and Billie, and their parents Wynnie and Tiny.

FOR THE LOVE OF WHISKEY is a story of recovery and healing, acceptance and understanding, lost and found, love and moving forward. The premise is both heart breaking and heartwarming; the romance is tender and provocative; the characters are broken, healing and charismatic.
