BLURB:
I promised to protect my best friend’s little sister—I didn’t plan on falling in love.
But when a murderer strikes in my county and she may be the next target, I can’t hold back anymore.
She doesn’t know it yet, but when this is over she’s here to stay.
If I can keep her alive.
Bree
A tragedy called me back to Whiskey Falls, but as soon as I take care of business, I’m out of here.
It doesn’t matter that I’ve been in love with Tony Kane since I was a child.
Or that I go weak at the knees every time I see him.
My family broke my heart, but he has the power to shatter it.
No way am I sticking around for that.
REVIEW:
Whiskey Home is a wonderfully created suspense romance. well thought out characters and a great start to the Whiskey Falls series.Whiskey Home follows Bree who goes home to Whiskey Falls after the tragic loss of her biological father. When she gets home its obviously the last place she wants to be but heartbroken with the loss of her father, especially with the unresolved issues they had. Her family dynamic is heartbreaking, her family had a fallout with her and they never seem to let her forget it. Thankfully she has the love of her brother, his friends and her pseudo father Griff. But when she gets home she discovers that her step father death is looking more like murder and they are not stopping with him, she and her family have become target and now Griff and her brothers best friend Tony are on a mission to find out who is behind it all.
Bree is a complicated character, she is hurt and still doesn't feel that connection to her family because of past issues with her father, Her relationship with her fathers friend Griff who took her in is as solid as every, her brother Erick has her back and the man who makes her heart skip a beat Tony is trying to make sure Bree is not only safe but stays home where they all feel she belongs. Tony and Bree's chemistry is off the charts, they have history and Tony like everyone wants her back in Whiskey Falls.
They mystery is fantastically written, I didn't have a clue for the longest time who was behind it and that goes the show the author did a wonderful job with the big beds. I was on the edge of my seat many times and I loved all the secondary characters. I'm pretty excited to see what's in store for the next installment.

Excerpt
Copyright 2021 Taryn Rivers
The patio door opens behind me, alerting me to Bree’s presence.
“Bree’s here. I gotta go,” I tell him.
“Watch your back,” he warns, not hiding the worry in his voice.
“You, too.” I hang up and turn around to find Bree rubbing the back of her neck with a resigned look on her face.
“She’s on her way, isn’t she?” I ask.
She winces and nods.
“Please tell me Colt’s with her.” I like Colt, and it’s obvious he cares for both women. Plus, he can handle himself and is one hell of a shot.
“No. Colt’s not with her. But she’s not alone.”
“You need to call her back and tell her to turn around. We barely have enough manpower to cover you, much less Sadie and whichever one of your friends she’s dragging with her.”
“It’s, um, well, it’s Killian,” she stammers. “He didn’t want her driving by herself.”
It takes a few seconds before I trust myself to speak. “Are you telling me Killian Cross is on his way here right now?”
She bites her lip and nods reluctantly.
“Exactly how many times has Cross asked you out?” I ask.
She wrings her hands together. “Twice. And it’s been months. We’re just good friends, not that it’s any of your business.”
I see red. “Not my fucking business? Are you high? Everything about you is my business.”
She backs up but it’s too late. In two steps I’m on her. I pull her to me and slam my mouth down on hers.
Instead of fighting it, her arms wrap around me. I fist her hair, and she gasps, giving me what I need to slide my tongue home. I bring her even closer, and she melts into me.
I pour everything I have into the kiss. If she won’t believe it when I tell her she’s mine, I’ll fucking show her and leave no room for doubt.
I’ve been waiting for this moment for two years, and all my frustration comes through. She moans into my mouth which spurs me on. I thought our first kiss couldn’t be beat, but this one blows it out of the water.
This kiss is everything. Heaven and hell, want and need, every ounce of my being focused on the slide of her tongue. I slow it down until our lips separate. I run my nose along hers then drop my hand down to her lower back and bury my face in her hair.
“This is why you’re my business. This proves you want me as much as I want you. Face it. You’re mine, and I’m fucking yours. Always have been. Always will be.”
I lean in and kiss the side of her lips. “Give us a chance, beautiful. It’s going to work out. I promise.”
Her entire face softens, and I think I have her. But then she blinks, and I see naked fear flash in her eyes right before she shuts down.
Fucking hell.
