What I read before the weekend started

Whiskey Nights by Fabiola Francisco
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As I sip my bourbon this evening--something I've been waiting for since I started this book I may add--I have to give some thought to this second book of a series. It works as a standalone and it is pure romance. PURE Romance with a side of Kentucky Mules (for which I bought a fresh lime to enjoy after I write this review!) Sometimes, after reading a lot of romances--erotic, suspenseful, comedic, dramatic--it is a real shock to the system to read a quiet novel about a relationship building. I felt like the shoe was going to drop with every page turned. This is a book about a very real relationship between two very real young people--a bartender and a baker--who never thought they could have a chance together for one reason or the other, but took an opportunity and ran with it. For someone like me whose choices were based on being a trainwreck, this was strange to read---do young adults really have goals like these two do? And can those goals be dealbreakers? Life happens in a very well-written way with a side of whiskey.

And yes, I did stop and pick up a fifth of Beam, but forgot the ginger beer....what is wrong with me? Tomorrow's foolishness, I guess.
