| The Darling Brothers Book 1 |
The only thing worse than letting him in is the thought of letting him go.
Jackson
If there’s one thing I don’t need upsetting my quiet and comfortable routine in the small town of Darling, Montana, it’s newcomer Ash Alcott crash landing on my family’s ranch like some sort of blonde angel.
I don’t need his flirting. Or his smile. I don’t need the way he makes me question whether or not I’m truly happy being alone at forty. I certainly don’t need to be giving him riding lessons or appreciating the meals he cooks for the ranch.
The man is dangerous for my equilibrium. And he could up and leave at any given moment, tiring of this way of life. It’s happened before.
No, I’m better off ignoring the way he looks at home in a new pair of boots and how my family and the ranchers all adore him. Ash may have brought some sunshine into our lives, but it’s best he learn sooner rather than later…
Ain’t nothing sweet about being saddled with a cowboy like me.
Sweet Like Whiskey is a grumpy/sunshine, small town romance between a stubborn cowboy and the optimistic out-of-towner who’s determined to win him over. There’s ranch life, close-knit family dynamics, gorgeous mountain views, moonlit shenanigans in a hayloft, and one very HEA. It’s book 1 in The Darling Brothers series but can be read as a standalone.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
Ash knew he needed a change and that he needed to leave Maine. And when his friend offers for him to stay with her in Montana while he figures out what he wants, he jumps at the chance. And even when his car breaks down just outside the town, the moment he sees the mountains and the small town of Darling, he knows that he made the right choice. And when he starts working as a cook for the Darling Family on their ranch, it’s even more confirmation that he is in the right place. Especially when he meets Jackson. Ash knows he is in the trouble the moment he sees Jackson. He sees past that tough exterior to the heart of gold and Ash just knows that Jackson may be the who of what he was searching for. Jackson has gotten used to the loneliness and comfort of his ranch with this family. Especially after a break up a few years back that had him closing himself off. But he never expects the optimistic and flirty man that is Ash. And he knows he too is in trouble with this man. His fears may circle in the back of his mind, but he knows that he will regret it if he never tries. Because Ash is worth fighting the fear every time. Adored these two!! They were so sweet and cute and just that perfect sunshine and grumpy couple. I loved getting to know these two and watch them fall in love. This was a great start to this series and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the Darling Brothers’ stories!
