too short only 14 chapters 😒

it was waaaay to short but still good but still too short, ripe off man

I loved this on as well

this was a good read like the first one but even better and the end was crazy cant wait to read the next one smh

Got me hanging on by a nail!!!

I love this series!!! I’m buying the next book NOW! Narrators are awesome!!! Highly recommended!!

Cute holiday short!

Great way to transition into all of the future stories. I really enjoyed listening, Had me ready for the next story, which i downloaded immediately.

Ok

I really liked this book and would recommend it. It had a great storyline and sexual storylines. I would have given it 5 stars if the author hadn't used God's name in vain. I can't wait to hear more of this series.

This series of books touch on rel life experiences and all the couples are great together. I wish the narrators were great with all the voices. They make the story not as good at times.

D. A. Young is an new author to me and I look forward to readings more about the Men of Whiskey Row Series. Although the books focus primarily on interracial relationships, each book causes an awareness of prejudices, trust, narrow-minded ideation and how it affects individuals of any nationality. I enjoyed learning about the deep-set issues each character had to face and overcome. I loved the flirty banter between each couple and their willingness to forgive. Morae Brehon and Sean Crisden’s narrstions were great as always. I especially loved their ability to represent each individual character with the voice specific their background information. Well done👍🏽

Sets The Stage

This book expertly sets the stage for the subsequent unfolding of the story in the others following it.
I hate to pile on but my only complaint is the lack of character voice skills of Morae Brehon.
Her own narrative voice is beautiful and melodic however when she switches into character mode it’s a disaster.
Accents and dialects are clearly not her strong suit. They are either overplayed (like Kat and at times Sidra) or sound like someone mocking an accent (Alexi). Her Vivian and DJ voices were the only one’s that seemed to suit.
As for Sean Crisden, I really enjoyed his characterizations. Each Sullivan brother (as well as Alexi, Holt, Guy and Ian) has his own distinctive voice and you can always tell which is speaking.
I think Jack and Alexi’s voices in particular were kind of hot. I completely disagree with people saying Jack sounds like an old man! This story and series would have benefited from dual narration but I think these stories were released before that production style caught on.

I could just see it all

I cant remember the last time I have laughed and gasped so much. Each narrator has really great voices..and bad. Her male voice just awful. He has a few that dont quite work but not as jarring as hers. Luckily hes more prominent in this one. Not to mention his sexy country twang...is SEXYYYYYY. Ive been both reading and listening but Ive gotten used to the voices and it really does add something to it.
I never want books turned into movies but this could totally be a show. Ive had my dog looking to see who I was talk and cackling at.
I almost passed on this because its just a novella but dont.. It really is a great little filler.

This is so good

This is great can't wait until the audible with Holt and Katya. I've read them all.

Not so Black and White Romance

Love doesn't know color. D.A. Young displays it with reality and humor. The heat, romance and racial tensions are well written and performed.
