Truly, Madly, Whiskey by Melissa Foster

A new, emotionally riveting, sexy standalone romance by New York Times best-selling author Melissa Foster. Watch mysteriously sexy Bear Whiskey claw his way to his happily-ever-after with sassy, rebellious Crystal Moon.

 

Eight months is a long damn time to have the hots for a woman who keeps a guy at arm's length. But Crystal Moon is no ordinary woman. She's a sinfully sexy, sass-mouthed badass, and the subject of Bear Whiskey's midnight fantasies. She's also one of his closest friends.

Just when Crystal thinks she has her life under control, scorching-hot, possessive, aggressive, and fiercely loyal Bear pushes all her sexual buttons, relentless in his pursuit to make her his.  

The more Bear pushes, the hotter their passion burns, unearthing memories for Crystal that are best kept buried. But there's no stopping the collision of her past and present, catapulting the two lovers down an emotional and sexually charged road that has them questioning all they thought they knew.

I really loved Bear in Tru Blue and couldn’t wait to finally dive into his story to see if he finally convinced Crystal to give him a try.

 

There’s been an attraction between Crystal and Bear from the start but she keeps pushing him away due to an event from her past. When Bear finally convinces her to give him a chance, she realizes that there’s more to their relationship than just attraction. Although she’s worried this connection won’t be enough to overcome the hurt from her past.

 

Bear’s such an amazing guy. He’s loyal, steadfast, and determined. I enjoyed watching how he slowly built up trust with Crystal without pushing her into something she doesn’t want. I also liked how he interacted with Tru’s kids. Crystal’s been hurt before and hasn’t had anyone to rely on so when Bear walks into her life she’s a bit confused. On one hand, she knows she can trust him but on the other, she’s afraid he’ll hurt her again so she had some things she had to figure out.

 

The romance was interesting. It was a bit of a slow burn romance and I thought it worked for this one. They got to know each other before jumping into anything.

 

Overall, I enjoyed this one. It was a quick listen with heart, heat, and very little drama. Parts were a bit intense but not overwhelmingly so. I’m eager to get more of the Whiskey family.
