Take a risk.
Do something drastic.
Fall in love.
When Amberlyn Reilly loses her mother, her whole world comes crashing down.
Having been caretaker to her for most of her teenage years, Amberlyn is
inexperienced in many aspects of life. She hasn’t had time to live, have fun,
or enjoy even the little things. It’s only when a letter from her mother,
asking her to fulfill three things, sends her off to Ireland to live a life she
never thought possible that she begins to heal.
Declan O’Callaghan was born and raised in Ireland and has his family’s
legendary whiskey in his veins. He’s shy and not a fan of the pressure and
spotlight that comes with his family name, or the title he was given at
birth—the Whiskey Prince. Declan knows just what he wants and that is to take
over the family dynasty, but when his father gives him an ultimatum, everything
he’s worked for could come undone in the blink of an eye.
With six months to get married, the reclusive Declan spots Amberlyn across
a lake and instantly feels the need to know her. Soon, the two find themselves
traveling down a path neither expected. However, like any road, there are bumps
and side streets to derail them. Can Declan help find the pieces that will make
Amberlyn whole again? And will Amberlyn stay or run when she learns of Declan’s
deadline of marriage?
My take...
I started this book somewhere around the
late afternoon yesterday and ended up reading it all the way through by late
that night. I think I finished sometime around midnight. I haven't done that in
a long time. And it felt good to be held captive once again by a fun and
amazing read with minimal pit stops.
Aleo gives readers a great book that has
you falling in love right along with the characters. The storyline, which in
the end could have been a stuffy and predicable read, was anything but. I found
it quite unique and the characters entertaining and endearing. I honestly
thought one of the characters was going to do something brash and end up in a
lot of trouble. So yeah, the story held a few twists and turns that I didn't
see coming.
When the book first released back in 2014
the cover alone had me wanting to read it. Then of course, when I read the
blurb, I knew I had to. But life and book reviews got in the way. I really wish
I hadn't put this one off because it was just that good. But I inhaled it
quickly and look forward to continuing the story with the next book, BECOMING
THE WHISKEY PRINCESS. 5 Stars!
