Review: Wouldn't Read it First
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 04 12, 2014
I read this book third in this series instead of first. I've often found when there's a .5 in a series it doesn't have to be read first, and sometimes it's even better to wait until you know the characters of the series before reading that first short novel. I'm not sure if that is necessarily the case with this one although I am glad I already knew the character of Kyle before reading this. Otherwise I would not like him at all.This story is way more insta-romance than the other books in the Whiskey Creek series I've read so far, but the page count is also half of the other books. I very much like the characters of the hero and heroine, I'm just not sure if how I feel about the other characters...the ones in all the other books. (With the exception of Noelle, I know I hate Noelle.) So again, I'm glad I read some of the other books first.The reason I'm not glad that I waited to read this one? The timeline of the other books first seem to add up. The rest of this paragraph isn't really a spoiler, but if you don't want to know even an iota about the other books yet you should go on to the next paragraph. I swear in book two that Kyle's son is like 13, but I was under the impression the group of friends are in their early 30s. Yet, if I were to go by she's in this book Kyle is at least 40 by book two. I know, nothing major. Just a niggling annoyance to me.I'd love to see the characters of Brandon and Olivia brought into the future stories more but don't know if that will happen side they're not really party of the core group. Maybe I'll get to catch don't glimpses of them once in a while. Because I really enjoyed their personalities I'm glad I read this book. I don't really think it's necessary to read it to read the other books in this series though.
