Truly, Madly, Whiskey is Bear's story! I was really curious about him, I just can't resist a sexy tattooed biker boy and Bear didn't disappoint me!
Bear waited patiently during months for a chance with Crystal. He knows she's attracted to him but she keeps him at arm's length, so he's slowly giving her time to get used to have him in her life. He's taking his time, trying to be always present in her life, especially when she's spending time with their mutual friends (I loved True and Gemma's interactions and the way they were supporting Bear and Crystal and their relationship). In fact, they're practically on a relationship even though there's no make out sessions or sex. Yet. Bear is amazing, maybe a little bit too possessive sometimes (an alpha male of course!), he's the perfect combination between hot, sexy, sweet and caring. His devotion to Crystal, the way he treats her and how he puts her feelings first is absolutely heart warming.
Crystal is not exactly what she seems to be, she tries hard to come across as a tough woman, happy with her one night stands and rough bikers, but that's just a mask. Her past is heartbreaking and there's a very good reason for the way she behaves with everyone around her and with Bear particularly. I admired her bravery, especially when she seeks the help of her therapist again and when, shortly after, she finally has a meaningful conversation with Bear about how her past shaped her personality and her relationships.
Will Crystal be able to trust Bear and let him in her heart? You have to read their angsty, heart warming, sexy story to find out!
Melissa Foster has a way to tug our emotional strings and she does it again especially with Crystal's past, I mean when Crystal finally opens up with Bear... it's so heartbreaking and emotionally charged, it's fabulously written.
Truly, Madly, Whiskey is a beautiful, emotional read, a passionate romance with plenty of funny banter and a perfect book boyfriend. It can be read as a standalone but, in my opinion, you should definitely read Tru Blue first. Can't wait for the next books featuring Bear's siblings especially Dixie's!
This cover is SMOKIN' hot! A excellent representation of the hero found within. Attractive and eye-catching (LOVE the pink) typography. I think the composition is thrown off a bit by the placement of the text but otherwise a splendid cover IMO.
I was really looking forward to this one since I first read about BEAR in TRU BLUE. Alas this one ended up just being MEH for me. I felt like nothing happened the entire book. It just dragged on and on, and I really struggled with it holding my interest.
Chrystal, I found annoying with her hot/cold routine and her “I am not ready yet.” It wasn't helped by the fact we don't even get full sex until 70% into the book. Bear although a perfect book boyfriend just wasn't that exciting for me. Was he thoughtful...yes. Was he patient....yes (too much at times IMO.) Was he sexy...yes. He was all those things but none of that translated into any hot chemistry between him and Chrystal. I got SO tired of his constant asking “Can I kiss you?” “Can I touch you?” “Is this ok?” “Can I take your panties off?” I get it she went through something four years prior and maybe it makes me an unfeeling bitch but by the time they FINALLY get around to having sex I had lost interest chapters earlier.
On the positive side even though this was a miss for me I did enjoy seeing little glimpses of the other Whiskey Brothers and Dixie. We also get some scenes with Gemma and Tru and the adorable kids. I am definitely open to giving the next book a try.
