BILLIE & DARE, DAREDEVILS RULE!

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2024

4.5 Stars

Daredevils for Life!!

This was such a sweet, fun, and emotional story. Melissa Foster’s book always pull at my heartstrings and The Trouble with Whiskey was no exception. I enjoyed Billie and Dare’s second chance romance. I loved that they were besties from the time they were young and grew up being each other’s rocks, along with Eddie. The smidge of enemies to lovers gave the angst a little kick.

Billie is a spitfire, hence the nickname that Dare gave her, Wildfire. She is badass and holds her own as co-owner of the local cowboy bar. Her time as a top female motocross racer is a thing of the past and Dare wonders what happened to his daredevil friend. Billie is not who she was, and as past events are unraveled, my heart ached for her and the guilt she carried for the part she thought she played in the tragedy that changed her course.

Dare is a man after my own heart. He is mischievous, dirty talking, and has a sensitive streak that comes from being a therapist. He has been pining for Billie for years until finally enough was enough and he made it his goal to push himself back into her life and vice versa. I loved his devil-may-care attitude, and I was here for all his swagger.

Billie and Dare were soulmates personified and I loved the history they had together. These two were meant to be and “always been you” hit right in the heart.

One of the Best Books ever

Very well written story. Very emotional, very sweet, and very inspirational. Feels like a real life story. A MUST read.

First book in this series. A great start for sure. Here we have a heroine, Billie Mancini, who has a strong part with Dare Whiskey, but for six years she has stayed away from him. She believes she has good reason to, but it is difficult to see how women love his attention. She is determined to continue to work at her family's bar and continue on. For Dare, he can't stay far from the gal who has had his heart since they were kids. It was always the three Daredevils until they weren't.

It was definitely good to go through their journey, but be warned, you will need kleenex! This story will squeeze your heart!

Fantastic World Building

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2022

Verified Purchase

Readers of the Love in Bloom series as a whole have been getting peeks of the Redemption Ranch characters here and there over the last couple of years. I’ve been looking forward to having one of their stories told and it’s finally time. I thought we’d be starting out this series with Jordan’s sister from Then Came Love and Cowboy Whiskey, but this story starts out before Jordan’s sister came into the picture.

Dare Whiskey has been best friends with Billie almost their whole lives. They, along with Eddie, were wild and crazy kids who loved adventure and taking risks. Even after Dare went off to college, they all still stayed tight knit. Until one tragic day when Eddie died and everything changed. I won’t get into particulars, but the accident with Eddie pushed Billie to turn her back on everyone and keep in a safe bubble, which could not include Dare. Too risky. But Dare never gave up on her. Not only because they were BFFs, but because he’s always known he was in love with Billie and nobody else could compare. So here we are, six years later, and Dare is going to push the envelope with Billie a little harder. It pains him, and all those that love Billie, to see her become a shell of her old self.

This story deals with a lot of emotions, a lot of grief. You really get the feel of how nobody grieves the same way and that’s okay and we all have to be given freedom to feel our feelings. Yet it also brings home the fact that we cannot always do it alone. It’s okay to seek out help from a friend, a relative, or a even a professional.

Billie and Dare are definitely meant for each other. Everyone on the ranch and in town has always known it, even if the couple always thought their feelings were one-sided. Once Billie accepts that she can find happiness and that Eddie would even want her to be happy, it was a lot of fun to see her and Dare interact. On top of their connection and them finding a way to their HEA, there are other happenings all around them. I loved Dare’s interactions with a teenage client who comes to the ranch during the telling of this story. It really sets the tone for the person Dare is other than the daredevil risk taker.

Because this is the first book in this limb of the Love in Bloom tree, there is a lot to introduce. We get to understand how the ranch runs and who everyone is on and off the ranch. It’s not over the top or too detailed to seem like you’re reading an explainer. The author does a fantastic job of world building so as the series progresses the reader knows their way around. I’m really looking forward to all of their stories.

Friends to Lovers Cinnamon Hero

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 7, 2022

Verified Purchase

If you love friends to lovers with a badass heroine and a cinnamon roll hero then check this book out!

Dare and Billie have been friends forever, with their best-friend Eddie they become the Daredevils❤️‍🔥, 3 best friends having fun, taking extreme sports and stunts, especially motor cross to the max, they’re living the best life, but tragedy takes this away.
Both Dare and Billie deal with the pain differently, we see Dare push the boundaries with his extreme sports and stunts, whilst Billie withdraws from the fun lifestyle.
When Dare Whiskey decides to get Billie ‘badass’ Mancini back, he does it in an epic way, a way that only Dare could do lol 🪂 it starts with friendship but they soon realise there’s more to their relationship and it’s beautiful to read their love story.

This author writes emotions and feelings so well, you truly feel part of the Whiskey family & friends.
You’ll laugh, cry and you’ll definitely fall in love with Dare and Billie, both characters were awesome in their own way.

Personally….I need more Tiny and his Queen Wynnie 💗

Long love The Whiskeys ❤️
