Mr Whiskey is a Big Teddy Bear?

Mr Whiskey was not the book I thought it would be. Danny was such an enigmatic character in the books leading up to this one. It was a surprise to find out how soft he is underneath. He seemed to know everyone's secrets and it turns out that he takes care of and protects them them as well. In Roxi, he meets his match, a woman who accepts him unconditionally and is full of life and secrets. Despite this he has to learn to trust and to forgive. Roxi has a tragic past and has to learn to trust and risk hurt as well. In the end, life takes a turn neither of them expected, and their happily ever after looks different than they would expect.
This was an enjoyable story which was easy to read. I finished the book in one day. While both the hero and heroine had tragedy in their pasts, the emotion wasn’t so raw that I was immersed in their feelings. The book did not make me cry, which I find is the case with books by this author. I hate to cry and appreciate this for that reason, but it means that Tessa needs to continue to develop as an author to make her characters circumstances more visceral for her readers. After having read eight of her books now, I must state that this is an author I look forward to reading again in the future.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
