Possum Hollow Book 2: 68 Whiskey by Erin Russell

 

Possum Hollow Book 2

Tristan just wants to live out the rest of his life in peace in Possum Hollow. There’s a reason he ran to the middle of nowhere to escape his past. Ford didn’t even bother running from his own past, but a little peace and quiet is all he’s looking for, too. It’s a shame that when they first meet, sparks fly and all that peace threatens to burn itself down around them.

68 Whiskey is Book 2 in the Possum Hollow series but can be read as a standalone. It contains mature themes and explicit sexual content, and is not suitable for readers under 18.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Tristan and Ford both have pasts that haunt them to this day. When Ford was a kid, his mother was killed and he barely survived and was left without his voice. He goes to stay with his dad who didn’t know anything about him but loved him and took care of him the best he could until he unexpectedly passed. Ford has kept his dad’s legacy alive but taking care of his auto shop. Ford keeps to himself and clings to the quiet. That is until Tristan comes bursting into his life with nonstop chatter and shameless flirting. Tristan left Boston after losing his brother and to escape his mother. But the nightmares followed him. The only thing that keeps him sane is his job as an EMT. And then he meets Ford who instantly intrigues him. And though these two eventually given into the physical attraction between them, neither planned on it being more. Both believing they aren’t relationship people. But the more time together and helping one another through the crazy stuff that seems to find them. Well, caring for one another and be protective just builds between them and it’s only a matter of time until they will have acknowledge what they have. I really liked their story! We saw bits of them last book and I was curious to learn more about them. They weren’t a couple I would have at first put together, but seeing them on the same page, they are actually pretty great. I loved how they were able to see past one another’s walls and let themselves care about the other bit by bit. Really liking this series so far and I’m looking forward to more!
