SYNOPSIS

Life isn’t a game.
Life isn’t an empty bottle of bourbon spinning on a warehouse floor as I hold my breath.

I feel weak when others perceive me as strong.
I’m passionate though I appear to hate the world around me.
I see beauty in all ugly things.
I feel pain when I laugh.

No one knows the truth.
Well, no one knew the truth until now.
Somehow, Brody Pearson understands more about me than anyone else in my life. The severed connection should mean something significant, but I don’t know if I can forget all my self-proclaimed promises.

Review Copy provided by Author


We met the Quinn sisters in Bourbon Love Notes. Bourbon on the Rocks picks up their story in roughly where the first book left off, but this time focusing on older sister Journey.

Where Love Notes dealt with painful issues happening in the present (and a budding relationship), On the Rocks lets us see Journey decide and then begin a relationship with Brody while also dealing with nearly 15 years of baggage and self sabotage.

I liked both Journey and Brody and enjoyed seeing them reconnect. I appreciated the fact that there was a bit of bristling and a true progression from people who barely knew each other to friends to more. This was a good mix of pursuit, friendship, and room to grow.

Told entirely from Journey's point of view, her character does the heavy lifting in term of emotional growth and blossoming to be ready for a relationship. Ms Ryan had a very compassionate hand in addressing the grief and guilt that Journey carries and has to address before she can make changes in her everyday life.

Similar to Bourbon Love Notes, this is a well written book that includes a building relationship as a parallel plot to the emotional growth and healing of the female lead. I am curious about the upcoming books in this series as they appear to be the male side of the stories as told by Brett and Brody.
