Driving Whiskey Wild is a beautiful blend of opposites attract, small town romance, MC Club, and ex-military! Finlay is moving back to Peaceful Harbor to be close to her sister and hopefully start a catering business. Bullet Whiskey is out of the military a little worse for wear but running the family bar. He is gruff, suffering from PTSD, and not thrilled to have Finlay around trying to change the bar. Finlay is an adorable ray of sunshine that is completely contrary to Bullet. She is pink, frilly dresses. He is black leather. They are perfect for each other!
I really enjoyed both Bullet and Finlay as characters. Finlay is more than just a sweet, naive woman which I appreciated. It was nice to see a heroine who was girly, generous, kind, and not a naive ninny. I also appreciated that Bullet was more than a brusque jerk suffering from PTSD. He has some lingering struggles, but they are not the only thing about him. Both Finlay and Bullet are layered and dynamic. Their relationship is just as layered and its progression was natural and enjoyable.
There isn't much danger or suspense to the story. The plot centers around these two building a relationship and seeing if they can make something work. They both have a past that creates some blocks, but they navigate them in mature ways. If you like your romance to be sophisticated and not filled with unnecessary angst, Driving Whiskey Wild is the perfect pick for a weekend binge! The characters of this small town are endearing and you will want to come back to Peaceful Harbor!
