Whiskey Rebellion

The main character is somewhat cringe worthy but nothing I couldn't forgive. It's Nick who ruined the whole thing. Their scenes completely lacked chemistry and he was not only cringe but, at the risk of sounding overly woke, he was creepy and bordered on the rapist brand of creepy a lot. Seriously their “sex” scenes almost made me sick everything about him was icky. I'm serious if SA/SA adjacent content is a trigger for you do not read this book.

Secondary characters were a lot more interesting than the main character and by the end I was disappointed I didn't get to spend more time with Rose Marie and Addison's mother.

Started off promising and felt very Janet Evanovich-esque. Then it all kind of trickled off to the end. There were some fun and funny moments, but there were some moments that I think were meant to be funny and fell flat. Plot points that I thought were supposed to be important (like the blind date) disappeared, never to be heard from again. Why make such a big deal about something that was never going to pan out? Maybe this was an editing error, which if so indicates the book needed a better editor. Addison while an ok narrator/main character, would have been better if she wasn't so...klutzy, ditzy, ridiculous, selfish, naive, child-like...basically over the top about everything and anything. Made it really hard to like her. Good thing she had friends and sidekicks that were much more likable.

At this point in time I can't finish this. I just can't get into it. I had enjoyed the author's Dirty Little Secret but not enjoying this one. Maybe one day I might finish it, don't know. Marking it as completed to get it out of my reading list.

This book was ok but it's too much like the Stephanie Plum books for me.
