Blurb:

Bar owner Jake Johnson loves women—until he kicks them out of his bed. Hardened by devastating loss, the only thing he lets warm his heart these days is the smooth burn of a good whiskey.

Tamryn Baker wants Jake as much as she wants to run her own business; too bad he can’t see past the pain-in-the-ass little girl she was, or the promise he made to her older brother to look after her.

Jake’s a whiskey burn on a cold winter’s night, but Tamryn wants more than heat between the sheets. Tamryn’s always felt like home, but Jake knows crossing the line with her wouldn’t be safe, regardless of the explosive chemistry building between them.

If they give in, their broken hearts will either fit together perfectly—or their pasts will shred them both.


WHISKEY BURNED is the second book of the Flawed Heroes series; each book is a standalone.

Sunny Shelly’s Review:
I enjoyed the premise of Whiskey Burned — Jake promised his best friend, Colby, that he’d look after his little sister, Tamryn, after he died. It’s one of my favorite tropes, when they realize that they are in love with each other. But damn, Jake was a dummy! He was SO OBLIVIOUS! And I know that was part of the story: that he’s the last to realize that TB loves him and that he’s actually been in love with her for years as well. But I just wanted to smack the hell out of him so many times! And for her part, TB never bothered to talk to Jake about her feelings, either. I just felt that there could have been more to this story and exploring their relationship had they both not been so stubborn.

The “Grand Gesture” that Jake does to prove his love to TB is what saved the story for me, though. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
