Moonlight and Whiskey

In Tricia Lynne's Moonlight and Whiskey, this contemporary romance debut is red-hot, steamy, sexy, and swoon-worthy too. For Avery Barrows, she's not just your ordinary woman. She's curvaceous and likes the way she looks. She works for an engineering firm and works a lot to impress the board. But when she's on vacation in New Orleans, it changes everything for her, especially when she bumps into Declan McGinn, an Irish tattooed lean singer of a hard rock cover band. The chemistry between them is palpable and scorching hot. This was more than love in first sight. But deep down, there's a hidden darkness in Declan's past and secrets he plans to keep to himself. He wasn't looking for a long-time relationship. Avery protects herself for keeping her walls up whenever she lets her guards down. She doesn't take any BS from anybody. But when she's with Declan, they make more than magic together especially when she becomes herself and sings with the band. At a work-related cocktail party, things change for Avery and Declan, when they belittle her because of her weight and how they reject Declan as her date. That's when she had enough BS and realizes the true potential of being who she is. After a heated disagreement with Declan, they split up and discovers the hurt and how they feel for each other. In the end, they mend their broken hearts and pick up the pieces to find their happiness for each other.

This was a hot and sexy contemporary romance debut from my Twitter/Facebook author friend Tricia McKee. I did care for Avery and how she loved the way she look just the way she is. She needed to be herself and not let anyone else tell her otherwise.  I did think Declan was sexy as hell as Irish eye-candy with his accent and his swagger. I've found him a perfect match for Avery, since both of them had troubled childhoods in the past. He could sure croon out some lyrics. This debut would make you want to roll down the window from his steamy love scenes with non-stop action, plenty of sparking romantic drama, lot of intense suspense and lots of loving.
