Billie Mancini has taken the opposite path, burying the best parts of herself and carrying private demons that Dare knows nothing about. The two were once inseparable best friends, and Billie is the one woman Dare has always loved and believed he could never have. When she comes back into his orbit, their old bond reignites, but the grief they never fully faced and the secrets Billie guards stand between them and a second chance. As tenderness turns to something deeper, Dare must prove he can be steady rather than reckless, and Billie has to decide whether to let anyone past her walls. Emotional and steamy, their reunion is a story of loyalty, healing, and the fierce, protective love this big-hearted biker family is known for.",2022,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxptg3r4j26hf2h7pknj04wb.jpg?v=6d53364e9b","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kxptg3qrk86yxpwmt9970gpb.png?v=23480649d4","L6Bfqe$y005W=W-SEl5A00xY~pEQ","4.00",1,432,491,0,"complete",false,true,[18,18,18,18,18,18,18,15,18,18],[24],{"id":25,"slug":26,"name":27,"role":28,"bio":29},"01kx262b7fyxe3z8beha1bc09z","melissa-foster-ffxg","Melissa Foster","author","A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Melissa Foster has written more than 100 novels and sold millions of copies worldwide.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.\n\nWelcome back to the world of the Dark Knights. This time around we are visiting the Redemption Ranch in Hope Valley, the setting for Foster’s newest release, The Trouble with Whiskey. In this first book of a brand new interconnected series, Foster delivers a heartwarming, passionate and sexy story, which will have readers crying, laughing and cheering alongside Dare and Billie. \n\nRegular visitors to visitors to the blog knows how much I love Melissa Foster’s books. Each time I pick up her books, I expect a sexy and emotional read and she never disappoints. So when I picked up The Trouble with Whiskey I was prepared for a well-written friends to lovers, small town romance. The book met all my expectations.\n\nThey were a lot of steamy moments between the pages, balanced by humorous banter, heartbreaking moments and a heartwarming romance. I fell head over heels for the characters featured in this installment. From the main to the secondary characters. I am so looking forward to their stories.\n\nMy favourite thing about Foster’s stories is her characters. Dare and Billie captured my heart from the first page. Here we have two people who were inseparable from childhood until tragedy tore them apart. Love, however, proved more powerful and soon they found their way back to each other. Their romance will have you tearing up, but leaves you smiling in the end. I enjoyed how they came together. We see how much they are perfect for each other.\n\nThe Trouble with Whiskey is sizzling and compelling friends to lovers romance. It is the type of romance which will have readers believing in a love that not only survives time but also has the power to heal and change lives. - Simply Fantastic. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading",4,"none","rv-01kxptg6prjyp6702cp6kk3w3t",[],"2026-07-17T01:19:21.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":167,"per_page":168,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":20},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kxptg3qrk86yxpwmt9970gpb\u002Freviews",20]
