Scarlet Reed has spent twelve years trying to outrun her reputation as the town harlot's daughter — and she's finally succeeding, with a teaching job and a fixer-upper house to call her own. Then she learns her new next-door neighbor is Shane Beckett: the charismatic former quarterback who broke her heart, the lying, cheating player she thought was long gone living the pro-football dream. Now a single father and firefighter, Shane won't stop showing up — apologizing, rushing to her aid, making her heart pound — and Scarlet starts to fear that maybe he's changed, and that she's the one about to play herself out of real happiness.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kxn4g0fct191ec9gtsk6agta.jpg?v=4911ced5ba","LzJ%:_x]Rjjr~Wx]e.WBb^ozoJWC",367,[890],{"id":891,"slug":892,"name":893},"01kq00pjw8s890kted2m3p2k65","ka-tucker-zjhe","K.A.

Two years later, Poppy has the career she always wanted and none of the happiness that was supposed to come with it. Convinced that the last time she was truly herself was on a trip with Alex, she talks him into one more vacation together, hoping to repair what broke.\n\nTold across alternating timelines—the summers that built their friendship and the present-day trip that might end or remake it—People We Meet on Vacation is a warm, funny story about the fine line between friendship and love, and the courage it takes to risk one for the other.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq72m2t36t4q1vv8gwd448c.jpg","LPMs{a$~MJNF_RIqE%R:C6w1OaV[","3.74",17,480,[986],{"id":987,"slug":988,"name":989},"01kjq72m1v3y3x6my265z0bz7n","emily-henry-7uit","Emily Henry",[991,992,993,994],{"id":128,"name":129,"slug":130,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":995,"name":996,"slug":997,"is_fiction":20},144,"Women's Fiction","womens-fiction",[],{"pace":78,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":1000,"themes":1001,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[84,83,144],[177,205,736],{"id":1003,"slug":1004,"title":1005,"description":1006,"primary_cover_url":1007,"cover_blurhash":1008,"first_publish_year":503,"community_rating_avg":1009,"community_rating_count":420,"page_count":1010,"authors":1011,"genres":1013,"series":1018,"enrichment":1019},"01kjstgvc5n7t292akmsspmerk","beach-read-wb7l","Beach Read","January Andrews writes happily-ever-afters for a living, but she no longer believes in them.

I admired Dixie’s fiery spirit and tough girl persona and I could not wait for her to get her happily ever after. However, for a woman like Dixie no ordinary man would do. She would need a man who could stand up to her overprotective brothers, one who could tame her, but allow her to remain strong and independent. Jace Stone proved to be that man.\n\nDixie has been crushing on Jace from she was 18 years of age. Jace, however kept his distance, because he knew Dixie deserved a man who could give her forever. Ten years later, Dixie’s feelings for Jace has grown, and Jace continued to keep his distance. However, when Jace recognized that Dixie would be perfect as the face of his new line for female bikers, his plans to keep his distance was no longer an option.\n\nI loved these two together. They were both strong characters and perfect for each other. The chemistry between them sizzled, causing temperatures to spike. Their time spent together was a mixture of tender and passionate moments.\n\nIt took Jace awhile to realize how he felt about Dixie, but it was a joy to watch when he did. He would learn how difficult it is to ignore love when it comes knocking. As a businessperson he was as smart as a whip, but when it came to expressing his feelings to Dixie he clueless. \n\nIt was fun reconnecting with characters from the previous books and getting a peek into their lives since the release of their stories. It is unnecessary to read the series in order, but I highly recommend reading the other couples’ story.\n\nMelissa Foster outdid herself with this story. She had me laughing and crying alongside the characters. There was never a dull moment. Taming My Whiskey delivered all I expected.\n\nConclusion\u002FRecommendation\nThis was a great addition to the series and I am looking forward to the next book. Fans of romance, which features a strong female lead and a hot alpha male, would enjoy this latest offering from Melissa Foster.","none","rv-01kxpxy2h3ty2swzkgthyeexn2",[],"2026-07-17T02:19:21.000000Z"]
