ARC REVIEW Whiskey Reveals by Carrie Ann Ryan

Whiskey and Lies #2, Fox finds his perfect match in a whiskey hazed hook up. It's not that Fox wasn't looking for a HEA he just wanted to find his place in the world before he thought about settling down. He loves being the editor of his own newspaper it means more paperwork than he thought but he always felt like something was still missing from his life. Melody was just looking for a place to start over, her grandmother gave her that chance when she offered her a home and Melody found the perfect place for a dance studio. Melody just wanted to forget her past but her past doesn't want her to forget.

Fox and Melody hooked up one night about a month ago, both assuming that it would be a one night deal but Fox hasn't been able to get her out of his head. As soon as Melody found out Fox wasn't a tourist that night she should have called off the whole thing but she really was enjoying herself and Fox that night so it wasn't a surprise to her when they ran into each other at The Old Whiskey Bar and Grill. Fox on the other hand was very pleasantly surprised even more so when he realized she is the granddaughter of his latest editorial, Whiskey's one and only Miss Pearl. Melody feelings are all over the place as strong as she feels for Fox she doesn't want to start something, she wants to concentrate on her dance studio and no matter how hard it is Fox is determined to keep her in his life even if that means just as friends.

But life is never that simple and Fox and Melody have more complications than just dealing with their feelings. Overall, Fox has won me over, I love that no matter what happened he took it in stride and never once doubted Melody. Miss Pearl is a hoot I hope we get more of her in the next book. Melody is a typical Carrie Ann Ryan heroine, headstrong, smart mouth, but with a vulnerability that she only lets her one and only see and in this her and Fox couldn't be as well matched as they are with each other. As always this is a well written emotional, romantic, and dirty, dirty, dirty. Naughty Fox. (Insert Eartha Kitt Catwoman purr here).
