Book Review: Bourbon and Secrets by Victoria Wilder

Bourbon and Secrets is the second book in The Bourbon Boys series by Victoria Wilder and is Lincoln and Faye’s story.

After 5 years away Faye returns to her hometown, Fiasco, Kentucky, after being warned never to return by Lincoln Foxx. Lincoln is not happy to see Faye and he knows she has secrets, which he’s determined to uncover.

This book hooked me in right from the first chapter! Faye is such a badass! She’s effortlessly cool and I loved the banter between her and Lincoln. Despite saying they hated each other they couldn’t stay apart; the angst and tension between them was top tier.

Lincoln is an absolute sweetheart and I adore the relationship he has with his daughters, Lily and Lark. Like Faye Linc also had past trauma he needed to work through and I loved seeing them open up to each other about their issues.

The suspense had me on the edge of my seat and after meeting them in book one I also loved seeing Griz, Hadley, Laney and the other Foxx brothers make an appearance in Bourbon and Secrets.

I can’t wait for Ace and Hadley’s story!

Here’s the synopsis

In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother.

Any woman who did, ended up dead. It wasn’t just a rumor. It was my reality. I buried my wife along with too many secrets surrounding the night she died.

Now, I’m a single dad with two priorities above everything else: raising my two girls and making great bourbon.

But when Faye Calloway returns after I ran her out of my small town—looking like a fantasy on stage and nothing like the cop she was trained to be—I know for a fact that she’s hiding more secrets than the one she blackmailed me to keep.

While everyone is focused on the teasingly beautiful burlesque dancer, I’m distracted by the woman with a hidden agenda. The smart-mouth, who says what she wants. And the instigator, who prefers a very specific way to drink her bourbon.

But as secrets begin to unravel, I realize she’s fiercely protective of the ones she loves. When she puts herself in danger to right the past, the rules stop mattering.

Only two things have the power to keep my family from falling apart and losing the woman I love—bourbon and secrets.
