This was 100% a cover/title buy. It gave me good vibes. My husband is a huge bourbon man, and he loves doing tastings. That part of this book delivered. It was a lot of fun in the beginning, and the writing was pretty good to where I was flying through the book. The things I think this book suffered from was the plot point of the reason why Laney was running/hiding was not fully developed. It was very half done and didn't make a lot of sense to me. For this book being as long as it is, it definitely got a little repetitive and relied on the smut a little too much imo. I'm curious to see if the next book is better and will probably give it a try.
