Dreams can’t come true if you’re dead.

Rosalie
After spending my life fulfilling someone else’s dream, nothing will stop me from making my own come true in Whiskey Falls.Not my parents who want me safely ensconced back home in Minnesota.Not the sexy modern-day Viking who’s pursued me since I arrived.And certainly not the gang trying to kill me. They’re about to learn the hard way, I may act like a wallflower, but this rose has thorns.

Erick
Since the day I met her, she’s intrigued me.The hippie florist with secrets in her eyes and walls built so high, I can’t help but want to scale them.She resists me at every turn, making me work for what I want.Just when I start making headway, Whiskey Falls becomes ground zero for a gang war.Suddenly, unlocking the mystery of her isn’t my main objective. Keeping her alive is.

This book may be unsuitable for people under 17 years of age due to its use of sexual content, drug and alcohol use, and/or violence.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

With action, romance, a lot of heat and more bad guys that you could know what to do with, Whiskey Dream is the fabulous new installment in Ms. Rivers’ debut series Whiskey Falls.

Rosalie is one kick-ass lady, even if at first glance she’s a flower-loving hippy. She was really my type of gal, focused, hard-working with some serious sass and more training than several commandos I know. (This of course is a lie, I don’t know any commandos, but I figure it still stands true.)

Set on breaking free from a quite restrictive way of living, she won’t let anything get in the way of making her dream come true. Not a sexy alpha Viking, not some stupid bikers and certainly not some asshole gang members.

I absolutely loved Rosalie and her backbone, her grit, her passion for flowers and her ability to keep the aforementioned sexy alpha Viking on his toes.

Now Erick was the perfect match for all that is Rosalie (you can clearly see I have a massive girl crush here). He was alpha, bossy and badass enough to keep up with her. And although he was a really gigantic jerk a time or two, that doesn’t mean that he didn’t know how to grovel, be sweet and give a massive amount of orgasms. He did have some daddy issues, but we knew that going in (and if you didn’t, go read Whiskey Home asap).

The suspense and action will keep you on the edge of your seat, the romance is a little sweet and a lotta hot and the whole story was fast-paced and super engaging.
One of my favorite parts though is that we get to visit with most of the amazing side characters we got to meet in Whiskey Home, and I just can’t wait to get their stories!

I do have one complaint here, and it’s that I haven’t gotten a baby epilogue as of yet… I mean, I get it’s not quite the vibe but I’m still expecting some baby news soon Ms. Rivers, mkay?
