Buckle up for a wild ride as Dixie Whiskey finds forever love in TAMING MY WHISKEY, a funny, sexy, and emotionally riveting standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. The perfect love story for those who enjoy fiercely loyal and insanely sexy alpha heroes, smart, sassy heroines, strong family bonds, bikers, babies, and more!
Being the princess of the Dark Knights motorcycle club doesn’t come with a white knight or a fairy-tale castle, and that’s okay, because Dixie Whiskey has never needed a man to slay her dragons or make her whole. Even so, after watching each of her brothers fall in love, she’d sure like a shot at her own happily ever after. But with the Dark Knights watching over her and the only man she’s ever wanted out of reach, she’s not holding her breath.
As the launch of Silver-Stone Cycles’ biggest line approaches, Jace Stone is left needing a favor from the one woman who holds the power to take him to his knees. He knows when it comes to sinfully gorgeous and sharp-tongued Dixie Whiskey, he must stay on his toes and keep his walls firmly in place. But Jace needs her for his business—and Jace Stone always gets what he wants.
When the tall, gruff, and darkly handsome biker presents an opportunity that any other woman might see as the chance of a lifetime, Dixie turns him down flat. But Jace is determined, and he pulls out all the stops—sending Dixie’s overprotective brothers up in arms. Rebellious Dixie takes a stand—going after the freedom, and the man, she’s always wanted. One scorching kiss leads to an undeniable connection, but Jace isn’t looking to be tied down, and Dixie refuses to play second fiddle. Can two untamable hearts find forever love in each other’s arms?
The Book Junkie Reads . . . Reveiw of . . . TAMING MY WHISKEY (The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor, #6) . . . I loved Dixie. I too loved sexy Jace. It just something about the name Jace that makes me just swoon. This Jace. For this read was all that and then some. Dixie Whiskey gets her man. Strong, sexy, alpha. Sweet, sassy, sexy (herself) Dixie finds her forever in one Jace Stone.
Dixie Whiskey gets her man. Strong, sexy, alpha. Sweet, sassy, sexy (herself) Dixie finds her forever in one Jace Stone. A decade in the making. Dixie finally had a chance with the man of her heart. She finds that this romance not as easy as it seems to look for others. It takes some hard work, some tears, some heartache, and maybe even a punch or two. With protective brothers and a brotherhood behind her she finds that getting the man of her heart will not be so easy.
I found this Whiskey romance to be real emotional and just a bit different from the others. Dixie showed a more feminine side and that just really rubbed her raw. She showed that she was more than just bark. She had a bite that a few people experienced. There was so much more to Dixie Whiskey. Jace was most certainly her match. It just took him a little bit longer to figure that all out for himself.

Excerpt:
She walked over to a table where three guys had
just finished their beers and grabbed their empty bottles. “Refills?”
“Yeah, thanks,” one of the guys said.
She walked
away with the human inferno that was Jace Stone on her heels.
“Dixie, how can you be upset with me? I gave you
a twenty-thousand-dollar donation for the auction.”
She set the bottles on the bar and said, “Which I
truly appreciate, but giving of yourself and giving money are two different
things. One is easy and mindless. The other tells me who you are. It was a real
eye-opener.” She crossed her arms and said, “What did you need help with
anyway?”
Diesel grabbed the empty bottles, and Dixie said,
“Another round, please.”
“I’m rolling out the Legacy line in the fall.”
“So I’ve heard. Bear’s pretty excited.” In
addition to working at Whiskey Automotive, Bear worked part-time designing and
building custom motorcycles for Jace’s company. He hadn’t worked on the Legacy
line, but he raved about it.
“We all are. This line is my baby. I’ve put
blood, sweat, and tears into it. It’s the first motorcycle line that will have
bikes designed specifically for women. Nobody’s doing that, Dix. This is a huge
deal.”
Bear had told her all about Jace’s innovative,
sleek designs for women. It was a genius idea, and it didn’t surprise her that
Jace had come up with it. But she couldn’t help thinking about Jace researching
the contours of women’s bodies…
Diesel put three bottles on the bar, eyes locked
on Jace. “Stone,” he said evenly.
“Diesel.” Jace lifted his chin in the manly
greeting Dixie was accustomed to.
“Thanks, Diesel,” Dixie said, and as she headed
to the table with Jace beside her, she said, “Congratulations on the line, but
what does it have to do with needing me?” She set the bottles down, flashed a
smile at the customers, and said, “Can I get you boys anything else?”
One of them looked her up and down lasciviously.
Jace stepped closer, and the guy shifted his eyes away and said, “No. We’re
good.”
Dixie spun on her heels, grabbed Jace’s arm, and
dragged him to the side of the room. She felt Diesel’s antennae springing and
glanced at the bar, mouthing, I’m fine! Turning her attention to Jace, she
spoke in a harsh whisper. “You just fucked up my tip, and I don’t appreciate
it. So whatever you have to say, say it and be gone, okay? I’ve got work to
do.”
“That guy was looking at you like you were a
piece of meat.”
“No shit. They all do.” Except now that she was
thinking about it, Jace never had. Not once. In fact, in all the years she’d
known him, this was the longest he’d ever looked at her. He didn’t live in
Peaceful Harbor, but he traveled there often to see his brother Jared, who had
signed up for the auction. Jared owned a restaurant in Pleasant Hill and lived
there for several months out of the year. “I have a lot to do, Jace, so if you
have more to say, please get on with it.”
“I’m launching a women’s clothing line called
Leather and Lace when we launch the Legacy line. We’re making a calendar to
promote the clothing and the new bikes. The photo shoot is next week, and the
woman I hired to model got hurt and can’t make it. I want you to replace her.”
She blinked several times, unable to believe what
she was hearing. An incredulous laugh tumbled out. “Do you even fucking know
me, Stone? I am not a pinup girl!” She took a step away and he grabbed her arm,
tugging her back to him and keeping her so close, she could see flecks of gold
in his sexy hazel eyes.
“This is important to me, Dixie. I don’t want
someone who fakes being a biker. I want an authentic woman. I want you.”
“Do I need to point out that I was your second
choice, or maybe your tenth. I don’t know or care, because any way you cut it,
the answer is no. I told you, I’m not a pinup girl.” She held his steady gaze
with an ice-cold one of her own and said, “For the record, Whiskeys don’t play
second fiddle to anyone. Sorry, Stone, but you’re out of luck.”
“Come on, Dixie,” he pleaded gruffly. “I’ll let
you auction me off.”
“Too little, too late. The ballot is full.” The
lie felt victorious. She yanked her arm free and said, “I have customers to
help. Good luck with the line. I’m sure, like everything you touch, it will
turn to gold.”
“With you on board, it’ll be legendary.”
“No.”
He leaned closer and lowered his voice to say,
“This isn’t over, kitten.”
“What the hell did you just say?” Anger simmered
inside her. She poked him in his rock-hard chest and said, “I’m nobody’s
kitten, and you’re this close to earning a knee to your groin.”
“You definitely know how to use those claws, and
you’re so sweet I bet you purr,” he said arrogantly. “You know you want to do
it, Dix.”
His eyes drilled into her, causing heat to sear
through her veins and her traitorous nipples to pebble into aching peaks. Damn,
he played dirty.
“Careful, Stone. This kitten bites.”

Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Entertaining Steamy Wonderful characters
Overall 5 out of 5 stars
Performance 5 out of 5 stars
Story 5 out of 5 stars
Dixie Whiskey amazingly strong determined . . .
Narration by a duo was most certainly the way to go her. The complement and contrast was wonderful to carry the story forward. I loved Dixie and she came across as a very strong character by both narrators.
