Driving Whiskey Wild
Melissa Foster, author
Special Forces veteran and Dark Knights Motorcycle Club member Bullet Whiskey lives to protect his family, their bar, and the residents of his small hometown. He’s rough, unapologetic, and haunted by a secret, painful past. He’s also a master at keeping people away, and when his sister hires gorgeous and sweet Finlay Wilson to help expand their biker bar, he knows just how to get rid of her.
After losing her boyfriend and her father, Finlay moves back to her hometown to be closer to the little family she has left. She needs her temporary job at Whiskey Bro’s to get her catering business off the ground, and she’s determined not to let the gruff, arrogant mountain of a man Bullet Whiskey scare her off.
Finlay is everything Bullet has never wanted. She’s afraid of his dog, afraid of motorcycles, and sweet enough to give him cavities, but as she weaves her way into the hearts of everyone around him, he’s powerless to resist her charms. Passion ignites, but trust doesn’t come easily, and when their pasts collide, Bullet finds out the true meaning of protecting those he loves.
Reviews
Foster’s savory third Whiskeys contemporary (after Truly, Madly, Whiskey) will delight fans of alpha male heroes and feminine heroines. Bullet Whiskey, an ex–Special Forces biker, and Finlay Wilson, a chef starting a catering business, seem entirely unlike—she’s sweet and he’s scary—but they have more in common than they think. Soon they’re finding their ways into each other’s hearts. Although the focus is on the budding romance between the two, the novel also takes time to raise concerns about the toll that war takes on soldiers as well as their loved ones. Foster writes believable protagonists and shows that these complete opposites make sense together. Her secondary characters are also well-developed, and readers quickly become invested in their lives. Tension and release in all the right places will keep readers eager for the next book in the series. (BookLife)

Welcome to the Whiskeys series, where all the men are larger than life and sexy as sin! One of the most successful elements of this third, standalone book is the opposites-attract trope as it gives so many opportunities for Bullet and Finlay to clash even while feeling the physical pull of lust. They almost have no control throughout many of their heated exchanges, but Finlay does not allow Bullet to hide behind his tough guy image. The club versus gang parts of the story explain a lot about the Whiskey family in general while the inclusion of Bullet’s PTSD gave insights into his gruff attitude. Finlay helps smooth his rough edges and helps him see that it’s okay to want something for himself.
