I was not prepared for the heat in this book! Seriously, my ears were flushed red! 

 

Wilder brings the tension in spades with a slow-burn romance that hits all the right notes of passion, betrayal, and longing. Connor Crais’s voice narrates the audiobook with velvety depth, I was literally reeling in my seat! 

 

It’s not disturbing, but it is so tense and irresistibly immersive. And that ending? My jaw hit the floor. 

 

If you’re in the mood for a fierce, emotionally charged romance that sizzles with intensity, Bourbon & Lies pours you a glass, then sets it on fire.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Sexual content

Moderate: Alcohol

This is a heat-drenched romance with thick emotional layers and gripping slow tension. The chemistry is potent, and the emotional fallout is palpable, making it one of those dangerously addicting listens.
