Billionaire Boss

Mr Whiskey was not the book I thought it would be. Danny was such an enigmatic character in the books leading up to this one. It was a surprise to find out how soft he is underneath. He seemed to know everyone's secrets and it turns out that he takes care of and protects them them as well. In Roxi, he meets his match, a woman who accepts him unconditionally and is full of life and secrets. Despite this he has to learn to trust and to forgive. Roxi has a tragic past and has to learn to trust and risk hurt as well. In the end, life takes a turn neither of them expected, and their happily ever after looks different than they would expect.

This was an enjoyable story which was easy to read. I finished the book in one day. While both the hero and heroine had tragedy in their pasts, the emotion wasn’t so raw that I was immersed in their feelings. The book did not make me cry, which I find is the case with books by this author. I hate to cry and appreciate this for that reason, but it means that Tessa needs to continue to develop as an author to make her characters circumstances more visceral for her readers. After having read eight of her books now, I must state that this is an author I look forward to reading again in the future.

Terrific! You know it is a really good story when you become vested in the characters immediately. Danny is that tough, sexy kind of guy that tries to hide his vulnerabilty with a permenantly mean scowl. Roxi, is the bold and sassy woman that hides her secrets with sparkle and a laugh. These two sizzle anytime they are near each other and that is a lot considering Roxi now works for Danny at The Whiskey Den, Danny’s bar/club.

As things heat up and get serious, Danny senses something is off and it is going to be really bad. And, when his life falls of its rails, it is surprising, overwhelming and surreal. It sends Danny reeling into the unknown and his reaction and emotions are all over the place. Serious decisions need to be made and Danny is not sure what is the right one. This is a thrilling romance that takes you on a ride and doesn’t let go. Loved it!

Mr. Whiskey is book number four in the Case Brothers series by Tessa Layne. This is Danny and Roxi’s story.

At the beginning I had a hard time connecting with this book but trying to figure out all the secrets and deceptions kept me going. I’m really glad I did because I liked how the story came together and the ending.

FYI, contains mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
