Loving Whiskey by Gracie Cooper follows Willow, an incredible woman known as ‘Whiskey, The Bartender.’ She cares about supporting her family, has her own bar, and finds time to be with her friends. She is not interested in love. She has various situations to resolve with her business, but everything changes with the arrival of Colt. He is the new guitarist at the bar. Colt is an attractive, educated, and above all, responsible man. He takes care of his niece and grandmother. And once they meet, they discover that love is more than just attraction. It’s about enjoying time and having things in common.

I enjoyed Loving Whiskey because it seemed like a fun story with a big heart and you can pick that up right from the start. Gracie Cooper describes expressive people in their gestures, actions, and words. That’s why one of my favorite characters was Noni, Colt’s grandmother. She is an energetic woman who says what she feels without restrictions.

The settings are well described and easily place readers in the scene, especially in the bar, which conveys a lot of energy, and gossip is the order of the day. Gracie Cooper knows how to combine realism with humor and style. I liked the concept of Willow being an entrepreneur and the owner of the Martini Girl Bar, a place that men and women can enjoy equally. It highlights Willow’s creativity and intuitive business mind and strengths.

Loving Whiskey is a sensual, flirty, and humorous novel. There is an assortment of characters to discover within the pages. If you are able to keep up with who’s who, then I think you’ll heartily enjoy this book. I would have liked a more specific selection of people, but in this particular case, I understand this decision to leave it at that. What would a bar be without its customers? That’s why I recommend Loving Whiskey to every girl who wants to brighten her day with a heartfelt story, or any reader looking for a fun read.
