Almost threw my phone for good reason.
"This is such a quick and easy read. The chapters are short and the writing is really funny. The plot is interesting considering it takes place in the probation era. The FMC gives off a bit of young kid energy. Some of her feelings and behaviors are very teenager. The ending made me want to throw my phone. I understand considering it takes place in the 1920s but also... 🙄 Seriously though, it's a good and easy read with. A lot of funny and cute moments. Dont mind me, I just really fell for Jake is all... Go read it! (Not sure why it shows only 29 Chapters I read the whole thing.) "

"What a delightful read. I ended up binging most of it in one sitting coming to the last chapter and wanting the rest of the story. Our heroine finds herself in dire straits because of some very questionable choice. Boredom, not curiosity, killed the cat in this case. The author does an amazing job of building her historical world. Set in the roaring 20’s during prohibition, Becca gets herself involved with a rum running young man. Her adventures are scandalous and lead her down a dangerous road. The sights and sounds of a speak easy and the reality of illegal alcohol deliveries come alive through excellent descriptive passages. Becca is wilful and bored with a constant parade of unsuitable men her mother insists she consider as husband material. Her decision to accept an invitation for a evening of very different entertainment changes everything. I’m waiting impatiently for the next chapter. Please don’t abandon this book before it’s completed. "
Looking forward to the next chapters!
"So, I loved this book, its writing style and the general historical setup which is very well-done and shows kind of two worlds of the 1920s prohibition era: the kind of boring upper class and the alcohol smugglers. The worlds are represented by Becca, a spoiled upper class girl (who honestly took some time to grow on me character-wise) and Jake, a rumrunner infiltrating the police. They develop a relationship and also start working together, which leads to some interesting moral dilemmas. The general plot is tight and fast paced, but in some parts I had to suspend a lot of disbelief and tension that could have been interesting to keep up was relieved very fast. In the beginning, the romance moves along very quickly, already in the 4th chapter they talk to one another as if they'd been a pair for years - that felt a little too fast for me. Also, I thought it unlikely that he would bring her to the center of their smuggling operations only on their third meeting. There could be a lot of tension between Becca and the twin girls, but it is immediately resolved unfortunately. That said, I loved reading this book and am looking forward to new chapters! "
A Smooth, Bold Story!
"Whiskey Wreckage flows much like its famous namesake: the plot flows smoothly to detail the life of Rebecca, who though rich and from a well-to-do family, is miserable at her dismal and ultimately disappointing marriage prospects. She is such a lively character and veritably leaps off of the page, and the way the author crafts her with a bit of fire to her personality was both refreshing and enjoyable. I had a few laugh out loud moments when she was describing her would-be suitors, who--let's admit--are not exactly desirable or compatible with her outlook and wishes in life. The love interest, coupled with the obvious socio-economical disparities in a time as historic and bawdy as Prohibition is literary gold, and I highly recommend this book if you love well-crafted plot, realistic and relatable characters, and historical realism."
Whiskey Wreckage
"Whiskey Wreckage is set in the 1920s, specifically in the height of the Prohibition Era, in which the consumption, sale, and production of alcohol was outlawed. That alone makes an interesting setting. Rebecca is quite relatable, and her mundane lifestyle is enough to justify her need for some thrill… some charm, which she found in Jake. I especially liked their chemistry, which indeed carried the story. However, Jake is a rum runner (someone who illegally smuggles liquor ashore), yet Rebecca demanded to accompany him despite being warned of the dangers of his job; that’s an interesting way to set up the conflict at the opening chapters. The writing style remains true to the established setting, a detail I quite appreciate, and it doesn’t complicate matters either; in fact, it remains quite clear and compelling throughout. There were no grammatical errors to be found. Overall, Whiskey Wreckage offers a fun mix of adventure and romance with an interesting setting and well-written character interactions. Make sure you give this one a read, folks 😉! "
