Whiskey Secrets

Whiskey and Lies Book 1

By: Carrie Ann Ryan

Narrated by: Gregory Salinas

Sparks fly between a former cop-turned-bartender and his new innkeeper in the first installment of a Montgomery Ink spin-off series from NYT best-selling Author Carrie Ann Ryan.

Dare Collins is a man who knows his whiskey and women-or at least that's what he tells himself. When his family decides to convert the apartments over his bar and tap house into an inn and hires on a new innkeeper, he's more than reluctant. Especially when he meets the new hire. But he'll soon find that he has no choice but to work with this city girl and accept her new ideas and the burning attraction between them.

Kenzie Owens left her old life and an abusive relationship behind her-or so she thought. She figures she'll be safe in Whiskey, Pennsylvania but after one look at her new boss, Dare Collins, she might still be in danger, or at least her heart. And when her past catches up with her despite her attempts to avoid it, it's more than her heart on the line. This time, it might mean her life.

Sexy!

Love Gregory's deep voice. Really great story and love this family. This is going to be a fun series.

The narration was horrible

One person narrating the whole story was ridiculous.It was hard to listen to I only lasted about three chapters before I gave up and just went to read the book. which I hate? Because I like to read and listen. If I can read, I read it by driving that one to listen.

Whiskey Secrets

This is book 1 of the Whiskey & Lies series. A spin off of Montgomery Ink. We met the Collins brothers when they visited their sister Tabby in Colorado now we get to know the whole Collins Family. Dare is a retired cop, sfter losing his partner he had to leave that life behind, for himself, his son, and his family. Now he owns and runs the bar below his parents inn and is struggling to adjust to a normal life until he meets Kenzie. Kenzie is the new inn keeper and she makes quite a first impression with Dare. Now they are both facing around each other to make thins work, while she hides her past from the Collins family.

Gregory Salinas did such a great job with this book. Sometimes with other books I have a problem distinguishing which character is supposed to be talking when there is only one narrorator but that is never a problem with Gregory’s narroration. His voice fits the mood of the story and characters perfectly.

Whiskey, romance and spice

This was a nice story. There was a lot of repeating the same ting over and over. I will try this author again. Can’t go wrong with Gregory Salinas as the narrator.

Secrets, Secrets, Secrets

I really liked the characters Dare has that mysterious vibe to him, but also this huge protective streak you just want to know all his deep dark secrets.

I liked Kenzie and felt like she was just the woman to get to know all of Dare’s secrets only she has a few secrets of her own.
I very much enjoyed the fact that it was a bit of give and take and that the attraction was on both sides and no it wasn’t a love at first sight thank goodness for that.

I did feel like some of the story was a little predictable and that isn’t a bad thing just wished there had been a twist I hadn’t already read before.

I think the kids stole the show! I really like when an author brings kids into a book it makes it feel more authentic.

A character I want to know more about Locke!! Totally want to know more about this fellow.

I liked the narration it didn’t blow me away, there are narrators that make you feel a part of the story with their tones and inflection and there are narrators who just tell the story. Gregory is a tell the story in and out kind of deal to me. But that’s ok still enjoyable to listen to.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

It was good!

But... can I just say... pronouncing ever letter bothers me lol... for every "t" I heard lol ughhhh. The story waa great! The voice actor waa pretty good. But I'm a New Yorker aka pronounced New York-ka lol.

Cute and sexy

Love Carrie Ann Ryan ... this did not disappoint, was a cute, sexy story. Love Dare, and his brothers, I am looking forward to Fox and Lock's stories they are going to be good I just now it.

Sweet story

I liked the characters very much. Can’t wait for the other brothers stories.
I thought Gregory Salinas did a good job with narration

Great Book!

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. The narrator did a wonderful job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end. If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

really enjoyed

This was a sweet small town romance. The author really made me care about the entire family. They all had moments to shine thru. and even though this is a spinoff of another series (that I haven't read) I never felt lost or like I was missing part of the story.
I really loved that Dare's ex was not portrayed as some evil woman. That happens a lot in books. Her character is handled so well. She's not the villain just a concerned mother.
I'm a sucker for a single dad romance and this one definitely delivers.
Gregory Salinas did a really good job with the narration.
