The last person she expects to face is Doc, the man she blames for destroying her. Their chance reunion erupts into fury, accusations, and undeniable passion, and as the anger burns away it exposes a trail of long-buried secrets, lies, and a life-changing truth that brings them both to their knees. Now a Dark Knights biker and healer on Redemption Ranch, Doc must decide whether he can trust the woman he never stopped loving, while Juliette weighs protecting herself and her child against the pull of a first love that was violently torn apart.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.In Love, Lies and Whiskey, Melissa Foster delivers to her readers and emotionally driven small town romance.  One where the hero and heroine gets a second chance at love.\n\nLove, Lies and Whiskey is the fifth book in The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch. This installment gives us Seely \"Doc\" Whiskey and Juliette Chambers story.\n\nDoc and Juliette became romantically involved in their teen years. Their romance burned hot and they had plans for a future together. However, her controlling father tore them apart. Fast forward fifteen years Juliette returned to Colorado to claim he inheritance. However, she's not alone, her fifteen years old son Lucas is in tow. Doc was not happy to see her but when he learns who Lucas is to him, he needed answers. Getting the answers meant looking past the pain and hurt of the past fifteen years.\n\nThis story will grab you by the throat and wreak havoc on your emotions. Doc and Juliette went through a lot of hurt and pain all which was due to the actions of a manipulative parent. The lies fed to them both led to Doc missing out on the joys of parenthood.\n\nIt was interesting to see that despite the years apart their love for each other still burned hot. Revelations of the truth broke through the barriers built around their hearts and soon they found their way back to each other.\n\nFamily, friendship and love was at the heart of the story, and this made for a heartwarming read. While I am not a fan of the secret baby trope, I loved the way Foster handled it.\n\nWhile the pacing was fine, I felt the issue with Juliette's father could have been dealt with much sooner. Waiting to almost end of the story left the whole situation feeling rushed and underwhelming. Despite this I enjoyed Love, Lies and Whiskey and look forward to what Foster has in store for her readers.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading",4,"none","rv-01kxpph5swwmh627e0v634pspg",[],"2026-07-17T00:09:58.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":133,"per_page":134,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":20},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kxpph4xe9rc7xzxevwpbgstf\u002Freviews",20]
