Taming My Whiskey by Melissa FosterMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Long Distance Romance
I listened to this as an audiobook and therefore there are comments relating to that in my review.
Dixie Whiskey is 30 years old and lonely. She’s happy surrounded by her family and friends, working in her family’s bar and auto shop and being the most doting auntie on the planet, but she’s the last of her siblings to find their love match.
Dixie has had a crush on Jace Stone since she was 18, what she doesn’t know is that when he first met her, as a man of 27, she wriggled under his skin, but knew he had to stay away. When an opportunity comes up for his business he knows he wants Dixie involved and is prepared to do anything to get his way, even if Dixie is reluctant. Let the wooing commence!
I’m very fond of this group of characters that I’ve read about over several books. The family is big, boisterous and kind. Dixie is over protected and despite her frustration with this she knows it comes from love. I don’t think I would have put up with it as long as she did though!
Jace is the quintessential alpha male. He’s big, strong and handsome, works hard and loves his family. He has resisted settling down because he loves his job and travelling too much to give it up. He can be a bit of an idiot when it comes to relationships because he hasn’t had any.
This was a sweet romance and barring a few miscommunications there was no real drama, except of their own making. This makes it a nice easy read and gives a great mushy happy ever after.
With regards to the narration I found the voices for Jace and Dixie’s points of view to be really convincing. They were natural and good at conveying emotion without being too over the top. They both allowed the characters to speak through them without forcing it. I’d definitely keep an eye out for other books both Devra Woodward and Aiden Snow have worked on.
