What a great way to start a new series! If you've read the Montgomery Ink series, some of these characters may be familiar. If you haven't - don't worry about it, it's not necessary. I have only read some of the Montgomery Ink books & I didn't have any issues with this book. You have 2 characters who don't seem to really know what they want & so consequently there are trouble along the way to the HEA. This is a standalone, so feel free to enjoy it from start to finish.

Whiskey Secrets is a spinoff of the Montgomery Ink series. This series revolves around Tammy’s brothers and can be read separately from Montgomery Ink.
Dare Collins is a former cop-turned-bartender and single father (with crappy visitation rights). He isn’t so great with handling life so he buries himself in his work and family. He isn’t a fan of change.
Kenzie Owens is starting over. She has divorced her abusive husband and after therapy has found the strength to start anew. Change in her case is a very good thing.
When these two meet the chemistry is immediate though neither wants it. When they decide to explore it as “friends with benefits” things get hot. When feelings get involved it get complicated.
I loved Kenzie she is stronger than she knows and kinder than Dare deserves. There were times I wanted to slap Dare upside the head. I think that Dare finally discovers that sometimes change is the best thing that ever happened to him.

This is a brilliant book & great start of a new series.
An instant attraction between Kenzie & Dare but neither are looking for a relationship.
Their chemistry is off the charts & they are great together but can they make it long term or is it just a fling.
Plenty of ups & downs & lots of family love.
This is a must read that I would highly recommend.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

Wonderful first story in the Montgomery Ink spin-off series!

Tabby's brothers in PA get there HEA's!!

It was great to see Dare and Kenzie work out their various issue & complexities. Well written & great character development. It was delightful to see Kenzie make friends with Aisling and others.

Can't wait for Loch's & Fox's stories.

This is an okay read, but it's a bit too formulaic for me. I did like the two main leads, but they're sassier when they're apart and not as good when they get together, which isn't what you want in a romance. Everyone in the book does tend to explain what they're feeling to an unbelievable detail which holds up the plot and is very unrealistic. I did like the brothers and the hint of danger with the nasty ex-husband. Otherwise, an average read.
