About this listen
The only thing worse than letting him in is the thought of letting him go.
Jackson
If there’s one thing I don’t need upsetting my quiet and comfortable routine in the small town of Darling, Montana, it’s newcomer Ash Alcott crash landing on my family’s ranch like some sort of blonde angel.
I don’t need his flirting. Or his smile. I don’t need the way he makes me question whether or not I’m truly happy being alone at forty. I certainly don’t need to be giving him riding lessons or appreciating the meals he cooks for the ranch.
The man is dangerous for my equilibrium. And he could up and leave at any given moment, tiring of this way of life. It’s happened before.
No, I’m better off ignoring the way he looks at home in a new pair of boots and how my family and the ranchers all adore him. Ash may have brought some sunshine into our lives, but it’s best he learn sooner rather than later…
Ain’t nothing sweet about being saddled with a cowboy like me.
Sweet Like Whiskey is a grumpy/sunshine, small town romance between a stubborn cowboy and the optimistic out-of-towner who’s determined to win him over. There’s ranch life, close-knit family dynamics, gorgeous mountain views, moonlit shenanigans in a hayloft, and one very HEA. It’s book 1 in The Darling Brothers series but can be listened to as a standalone.

This was a really easy low angst MM romance. The small town setting was great and I really enjoyed the cast of side characters along the way. All the Darling brothers piqued my interest and whatever dynamic their parents have going on im here for. I liked watching these two just slide into love with each other even if at times it felt a tad insta lovey, i think the main reason for that is the passing of time isn't made clear throughout the book, so there were things that read like they had happened in a matter of days and it wasn't until a character mentioned weeks having gone by that we knew that. So that threw the pacing off a bit for me.
Also we are told Ash lives with chronic pain... however personally this part of his character felt like an afterthought on the authors part because of how it was written and utilised within the story... I'm not saying I want a character written with a chronic illness to constantly be in the throws of it because that is completely unrealistic and a person is more than their disability/Chronic illness... however Ash's condition was so skimmed over and not woven into his daily life as a person with a chronic condition knows it would be that this part of his character felt performative and a way to check a diversity box for a character in the book. I don't know... just something about how it was written was off for me and that alongside the pacing is why this gets the rating it does.
Outside of that if you are looking for a seriously low angst/no conflict, sweet MM cowboy-ish romance with a sprinkling of spice this will give you that. Kale Williams narration was spot on and I thouroughly enjoyed his performance. 🌶🌶
