The only thing worse than letting him in is the thought of letting him go.

Jackson

If there’s one thing I don’t need upsetting my quiet and comfortable routine in the small town of Darling, Montana, it’s newcomer Ash Alcott crash landing on my family’s ranch like some sort of blonde angel.

I don’t need his flirting. Or his smile. I don’t need the way he makes me question whether or not I’m truly happy being alone at forty. I certainly don’t need to be giving him riding lessons or appreciating the meals he cooks for the ranch.

The man is dangerous for my equilibrium. And he could up and leave at any given moment, tiring of this way of life. It’s happened before.

No, I’m better off ignoring the way he looks at home in a new pair of boots and how my family and the ranchers all adore him. Ash may have brought some sunshine into our lives, but it’s best he learn sooner rather than later…

Ain’t nothing sweet about being saddled with a cowboy like me.

Sweet Like Whiskey is a grumpy/sunshine, small town romance between a stubborn cowboy and the optimistic out-of-towner who’s determined to win him over. There’s ranch life, close-knit family dynamics, gorgeous mountain views, moonlit shenanigans in a hayloft, and one very HEA. It’s book 1 in The Darling Brothers series but can be listened to as a standalone.

I loved this book when I first read it and it was even better revisiting it in audiobook. Kale Williams did a fantastic job with these characters. His performance for Jackson Darling was so swoonworthy! Highly recommend!

Loved reading sweet like whiskey and now with an audiobook just made my whole day and yes I reread it in one sitting it was hat good. The voice narrator did an amazing job with doing both characters and I like how he made his voice a little deeper for Jackson. I hate when narrators keep the same voice dencity for more than one character it just confuses me when listening. The cake eating scene was just so spicy when listening to it. LOVED IT. 5 stars.

Loved His Voice

I read this book last year when it was released and loved it. I giggled a few times and had a big smile on my face. I adore Ash and Jackson. I was so excited for the audiobook and thank goodness the narrator was Kale Williams. He did a great job. So worth the credit I used; deff recommend.

This book was so sweet. I can't. Why was it so sweet? No, seriously, what was the reason for it to be this freaking sweet? It got me all emotional and sht.

I LOVE IT. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT.

Oh, and these damn Darling brothers... they don't make'em like this where I'm from... what a shame.

Sweet like whiskey is a second chance in a way. A second chance at love, at life, at happiness.

Ashley went through a break-up and decided he needed a change, or was it more like need? I think it was more like need. I think his heart knew better and led him to his other half... all the way to Daling. With 2 suitcases and a beat-up truck, he took his power back and followed the path to his soulmate.

Jackson Darling is exactly that, a darlin'. The sweetest men known to humanity hidden away behind all those scowls and growls. He is a sweet soul who lost himself. He is lonely, even tho' he is surrounded by people. It's like he was living in the dark, in a way, but all that changed when Ash walked into his life and made it bright again. His Ash, his sunshine.

The tension and chemistry between these two could be felt right away. You have to be blind not to see it.

I loved how Ashley knew from the first moment he laid eyes on Jackson that he was the best kind of trouble and how he went after what he wanted without second-guessing himself. I love how patient he was with Jack, how he understood his past and tried to build from that. I loved how mature he was. Jack never stood a chance.

Their story is simple, they see each other, fall in love, live happily ever after, but not only that, but in it's simplicity lies a lesson... you never give up. You keep fighting, keep living, and keep searching. Trust you'd heart and your instinct, and you'll find yourself living the life you were meant to, happy, loved. Oh, there's so much love in this book. The quiet type of love. It might not work for everyone, but it sure did for Jack and Ash, and I'm happy they got their HEA. They both deserve it.

Onto the next one now, I can't wait to see how Darling and King will solve their differences. Will Colton listen to Ash's advice or...?

Anyway, 10/10 for Sweet like whiskey. Sweet, funny, cute, wholesome, lovely. Highly recommend.

Loved it. Absolutely loved it.
