REVIEW ~WHISKEY SECRETS BY CARRIE ANN RYAN~

Title: Whiskey Secrets
Author: Carrie Ann Ryan
Series: Whiskey and Lies #1
Release Date: January 2, 2018

MY RATING: 5 STARS
Sparks fly between a former cop-turned-bartender and his new innkeeper in the first installment of a Montgomery Ink spin-off series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan. 

Dare Collins is a man who knows his whiskey and women—or at least that’s what he tells himself. When his family decides to hire on a new innkeeper for the inn above his bar and restaurant, he’s more than reluctant. Especially when he meets the new hire. But he’ll soon find that he has no choice but to work with this city girl and accept her new ideas and the burning attraction between them.

Kenzie Owens left her old life and an abusive relationship behind her—or so she thought. She figures she’ll be safe in Whiskey, Pennsylvania but after one look at her new boss, Dare Collins, she might still be in danger, or at least her heart. And when her past catches up with her despite her attempts to avoid it, it’s more than her heart on the line. This time, it might mean her life.
This book. These characters. I. LOVE. IT. ALL. It has been FAR too long since I've delved into a Carrie Ann Ryan book, but I will say Whiskey Secrets was a damn fine way to return to her work. Dare and Kenzie deliver everything I need and want in a romance novel. These two are fire, and ice at times. They held the ability to make my laugh, make me swoon and make my heart ache with their stories.

This story has so many bobs and weaves and with every page it captured a new part of my heart. The Collins' brothers each have their own story dying to be told, and Dare's definitely started out the series with a bang. And can I say how much I NEED Loch and Ainsley's story. Their premise already have me hooked, lined and sinked and I can't wait. But until then I'll remember Dare and Kenzie with more than fondness and revel in their wonderful story!

Happy Reading!
