About this audiobook

Two best friends follow a dangerous and seductive path in the final standalone novel of the bestselling Whiskey and Lies series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan.

Ainsley Harris has always kept a secret from her best friend. She's stood by his side, helped him raise his daughter, and tried to keep her distance even though she's been in love with him for years. She knows he has secrets of his own and she's not willing to chance what they have on a possibility.

Loch Collins has hidden himself and his past from the world for good reason. Darkness always comes back to haunt those who fight against it, and he knows better than most. One night of temper, however, forces him to realize his true feelings for Ainsley-for better or worse.

But Loch's former allies aren't on his side anymore, and now not only is his life and the life of his daughter on the line, but Ainsley is in the crosshairs, as well. Together, two best friends must fight for each other and their small town, because Whiskey has never burned brighter. And danger, it seems, is ever lurking.

Ratings and reviews

Book 3 of whiskey and Lies series by Carrie Anne Ryan. Loch is the typical older brother over protective and takes on a lot of responsibilities. Ainsley is Loch BFF and has had a unrequited love for him for years until thing heat up between them and they both realise there’s more to them then friendship. I really like that when things heat up between Loch and Ainsley they don’t just come together and fall into a happy pattern. They struggle with the change and Loch try’s to fix things but messes it up more between them. I loved that Loch and Ainsley thought of Misty and she was always the main important fact between them. I love this big hearted family and how close everyone is, great story and HEA. I do think that the audio was better than reading book. The narrator Maxine Mitchell was ace and loved her expression of each character.

Loch has a past that he isn’t proud of, but he gave it all up when he found out that he was going to be a single father as his daughter’s mother wanted nothing to do with either of them. The only people he allows close are his family and his best friend Ainsley. Ainsley is a teacher and although her feelings for Loch run much deeper than friends, she doesn’t want to share how she really feels as she doesn’t want to take the chance that it will destroy their friendship. She has been by his side as he has raised his daughter and she is very close to her as well. One night changes everything and he starts to see her as much more than a friend. Once they crossed that line there was no going back but when his past becomes his present, he tries to push her away to protect her, but she is determined to show him that together they can overcome anything. I really enjoyed these characters. Ainsley is feisty and fiery while Loch is an alpha protector and Misty is too cute for words. This is story of two people who were always meant to be together once they found the courage to take the leap from friends to lovers. Full of romance, suspense and twists this is a great way to end the series.

Having read the previous ones in this I could hardly sit still to get into this one. In this one the characters Ainsley and Loch take you into their world with their story unraveling before our eyes. Secrets will also do the same with them also becoming larger than the normal putting the path they are on into overdrive. This one will also put us into the same with tense being only one of the many emotions this author will be able to pull from us while we are in this one. You get to see also what to really fight for with the reasons being more precious than gold. This one was the icing and more gobbling up every last bit.
