Henley Blackwood.
She’s loyal, fiercely independent, and the one girl I shouldn’t want.
The ultimate temptation...my best friend’s younger sister.

I’ve been fighting my attraction to her since she graduated culinary school and started running the kitchen in my bar.
There’s too much between us.
Her age. My past. Our families.
But lust burns through me like a shot of whiskey every time I catch a glimpse of her. When I wake up hungover with her beautiful body pressed against mine…
Temptation becomes much harder to resist.

Holden Sterling.
He’s charismatic, wildly protective, and a guy I’ve known basically my whole life.
My brother’s best friend…and technically my boss.

I’m not one of those girls who crushed on their older brother’s best friends. My upbringing didn’t allow for such trivial things.
My priorities are about goals, not guys.
I’ve got too many plans and things to prove.
But I wake up with Holden after a night neither of us can remember…
And he gives me a kiss I can’t seem to forget.

Finally Holden’s story!! I liked how the stars align books prepared us for Holden and Henley. ( if you have read them, you need too)

His attraction to his best friends sister came out of nowhere. Yes , there’s the age difference but that’s not all he’s thinking about. Henley is this driven person who had taken 80th proof to new standard. But she’s also great company and easy to get along with and fits perfectly with the family.

But with that he also knows what she and her bother went through growing up. She has hangups hat she seem to not get over. Holden had a past as well. But with the blessings of his best friend, a brother through think and thin, he gives in and asked Henley out.

Diving into it, the chemistry and the attraction is there and things seems to through Henley off track. This women had never had feelings or any kind of relationship with a man before, so everything is new and scary.

When the past meets the present both good and bad, nothing is what it seems and everyone close to the situation gets pushed to deal with things they thought would never happen.

Going through the check list, this book has sass, great characters, emotional highs and lows, small town feels and of course happily ever after.

Great story, Kate again did an amazing job, I was a fan after getting the arc for her first book. Looking forward to wish comes next in the love and liquor series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Read
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021
Holden and Henley want to love but they have so much to conquer to accept their love. Holden was abandoned by his last girlfriend, all she left behind was a letter. However, he has a secret causing things to get complicated. Holden has been attracted to Henly but never acted on it because she is his best friend's brother. The night after his sister’s wedding, he wakes up with her in his bed, he lets his friend know and he gives him his blessing. Henley is a driven woman that runs the kitchen at his bar, she is focused only on her goals not friends or men. Holden’s sisters try to get her to rely on them as friends. She opened up a bit and developed an intriguing friendship with Gabirel, another bar employee, who helped their relationship in unseen ways.

Holden’s family is amazing and has taken in Henley, his grandmother cooks with Henley and offers her insight or help. I enjoyed the antics at Sunday brunches and outings. They went through a lot of hard times trying to stay together, but there always seemed to be hope that they could both accept their pasts. His family tried to help them stay together, but sometimes got in the way. Holden getting everyone together to help him make a grand gesture at the end is so amazingly sweet. It demonstrated how his family will help him with anything and proved his love.

This was a very interesting story with ups and downs, that kept you engaged and wondering why some characters behaved the way they did. I highly recommend it.

I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2021
The number guy rule, don’t fall for your best friends little sister, no matter what. But that is exactly what Holden did. After a night of drinking Holden woke up naked in the bed of a woman and he doesn’t remember how he got there. After fooling around with her he finally sees her face and he knows, he’s going to be in trouble, cause his bedmate is his best friend, Jackson’s, little sister Henley.
While Henley doesn’t remember what happened the night before, she does know that they didn’t have sex and even after explaining that nothing happened, to Jackson ran out of her apartment so fast there might as well have been a Jackson shaped hole in the door. Despite knowing having a crush on her big brothers best friend and business partner, and not to mention her boss is a bad idea on so many levels she can’t forget their kiss.
Holden tries to put what happen between him and Henley behind him but he quickly finds that she’s hard to resist. Is there too much in their way for Henley and Holden to make this one night of whiskey fueled temptations a real relationship?
Whiskey Temptation is the first book that I have read by Kate Stacy and I can’t wait to go to her other books, in particular her Stars Align series because that series is connected to this series. I really enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to see what’s next for Kate.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Book 1
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2023
I only read this book because book 2 is supposed to be tied to another book I read. This book says book 1 but it’s not. There’s a lot of story tied to another. This book started strong for me and I really liked it. But Henley isn’t a strong character. Holden is a punching bag for everyone. The cliched fight was the end of this book for me. I read a couple more chapters and quit. I didn’t read the end because there’s no redeeming Henley or even Jaxson.
