SYNOPSIS
One kiss ... and her lips forever lingered on mine as if tattooed there.
Melody Quinn, all through high school I loved her from afar. Of course, in a cruel twist of fate, she waited until right before I left for boot camp to confess she felt the same. In that tender moment, we shared a kiss that branded her name onto my heart. Despite intense training, deployments, and life-altering tragedies, never once did she leave my thoughts.
Now, years later, fate has led me home. I can’t help but wonder ... is a second chance possible? Reconnecting won’t be easy. My life has changed in ways she may never accept. But the spark that has always been between us explodes into an electrifying jolt every time she looks my way. The timing is horrible, but I have to risk it. She needs to know no matter how stormy these Bourbon Nights get, I’ll never walk away from her again.

Review Copy Provided by Author
Going into Bourbon Nights, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. I mean - I knew the story from Melody’s point of view in Bourbon Love Notes. Part of me expected the same story, just from Brett’s POV. That is true for part of Bourbon Nights, but there is much more here too.
Ms Ryan does an excellent job of using flashbacks to help us see what Brett went through during the 10 years between his first kiss with Melody to when he reconnects with her.
I enjoyed being able to get into his head and understand how he felt during some of their interactions. I also appreciated that while those weeks and months represented in Bourbon Love Notes were important, this book also went further into their life after “the end.”
The gentle light shined on the struggles our military and veterans face even after coming home is an important message that I think more of us need to hear, especially considering that we are approaching the 20th Anniversary of the “War on Terror”
As expected, this is well written. While it is strongly tied to Bourbon Love Notes, Bourbon Nights can be read as a stand-alone. I wouldn’t recommend that though as reading the two stories in order helps with the understanding of both. I am looking forward to seeing Brody’s side of his and Journey’s story in the final book of the series.
