This was a new author to me and I was absolutely blown away by her book and writing. I loved this book so much I couldn't put it down.

This book had everything a great romance should have. The main couple were two people you just liked. When they were were falling in love, you were falling right with them, when they laughed, you did too and when they fought, your heart hurt.

There was so much passion between these two that when things were good, they were sexy good!! However, when they fought their fighting usually hit below the belt. You wanted them to get together and be happy. They both had baggage that they are working through but in order to go threw it, sometimes they lashed out.

I would highly recommend this book!!

Holy shit. I was instantly hooked in by Avery's sass! I absolutely loved this book.

From the well developed characters to the detailed setting of New Orleans, this book was so raw and emotional. It was perfect in every way I could have hoped for.

Avery and Declan, both have personal demons that made their HEA journey a bit rough, but totally worth it.

Avery is one hell of a character, I love her sass, cleverness, and her struggles. She's such a real and complicated character. Declan is the lead singer of BlackSmith. He's literally the male version of Avery, he's sexy, has his issues, and has a mouth on him! But when he meets Avery, one night turns into several he suddenly realizes he doesn't want her to go back to Dallas, and she secretly doesn't want to either... but certain events occur... which make her question things. 

Ahh the ending was heartwarming, it was beautiful. If you like Contemporary Romance novels, then I highly recommend it! I cannot wait to read more from this author!

Holy hotness Ms. Lynne! *fans self*

What a way to debut! Moonlight & Whiskey is a sizzling romance set in New Orleans that incorporates Avery, a sassy, headstrong female with a wicked tongue, and the tattooed lead singer, Declan, her sexy Irish male counterpart in a wonderfully solid world with engaging characters that come-to-life before your very eyes.

Looking forward to what comes next...bring it Ms. Lynne, bring it!

Drowning in details. I enjoyed the storyline, but, I became so bogged down in minute details that I began to feel weighted down in all the unnecessary dialogue. It was detail over kill for me. I didn't like that Avery thought she had to make up for her plus size with her snarky shrewish verbiage. That detracted from my full enjoyment of the story. I loved Declan's character and frequently felt empathy for him, especially when Avery's mouth ran wild.

Loved this story of a curvy girl Avery and her walk on the wild side in New Orleans. She is determined to ignore the haters and enjoy her life. When she meets rocker Declan her sassy mouth and beauty is what attracts him. He loves girls with attitude and Avery has it in spades. Sweet hot romance!

Avery, even with her lack of confidence, due to her weight and body image, was such a strong female character. I like that the author made her a successful woman in a male-dominated field. Her smart-alec , sarcastic attitude cracked me up!
Declan seem to be the typical hard rock band member. But I loved the two of them together. The undeniable chemistry that they had jumped off the pages.
This is the first book I have read by this author, but it won’t be the last!

Wow, what a great book that was not what I expected. Avery and Declan are amazing characters and have so much more depth than I imagined. Their personalities are strong and never cease to amaze. A good read that's full of chemistry, passion and surprises. I read an arc via Net Galley and voluntarily chose to write a review. They both have so many demons in their past and it's amazing how they bring each other out.

Read it in one day I couldn't put it down.. laugh out loud funny, sexy, heart wrenching, but love conquers all! Highly recommend it!

Moonlight and Whiskey by Tricia Lynne is her debut book and I have three words for you Oh. My. God. What a book filled with a hot Irish hard rock singer and a badass not afraid to speak her mind chick. When is Jamie and Kat's book out? Please say soon, please? Then we need to find a lady for Matt because he's a big lovable fella. You won't be disappointed with this book it's filled with self doubt, angst, tears, a fantastic former model turned photographer who's Avery's best friend Kat who can out snark whatever Avery throws her way.

Avery Barrows is not only a successful engineer is Dallas who's well know for her building designs but with self esteem issues she's ready to let lose in New Orleans. But when she sees the interest in BlackSmith's lead singer can she settle for just a one-night stand and will Declan look beyond her curves? When a one night turns into several both Dec and Avery will have to deal with abandonment by parents, old flames who used her but didn't want a permanent relationship before they can finally admit that love was always there they just had to find each other.

Declan McGinn who's the lead singer of BlackSmith doesn't want anything beyond one night and he knows from watching his father that love only hurts. But when he meets Avery and one night turns into several he suddenly realizes he doesn't want her to go home to Dallas. He hopes their chemistry together can last forever but both of them are going to have to work hard to overcome their fears to find forever ever after.

I can't finish this. I got through twenty percent. I can't get into a storyline where the female protagonist acts like a raging insult monster to a nice man and he STICKS around. When men fall for women who are "challenges", it's not romantic; instead, Declan is pathetic for seeing Avery for anything other than the foul mouthed beast she is. Avery is so brash, so rude, so un-ladylike that I simply couldn't read this. The dialogue is bad, too. Who says "you have perky sweater puppies" to friend? Women don't speak like that. We say "you have great tits", if anything.

Wow!!!

This book. I needed to read this book. I was drawn from the very first page. The passion and the steam Avery Barrows and Declan McGinn have jumps right off every page. You cannot deny the chemistry that these two have. Avery is a plus size, career woman, with a strong sense of self. Though she hides who she really is and wants to be in her male dominated field of work, Declan, the notorious playboy who doesn’t do the “relationship thing” falls head over heels for Avery. And Avery isn’t far behind him. He encourages her to be who she truly is, both in the bedroom and in everyday life. Overall it is well written and very enjoyable to read. I give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars!!

Thank you for this book. I’m excited to read more from Tricia Lynne and see what she has in store for future books.

Avery has always been criticized for her curves and body, which lets face it many of us women already struggle with to begin with. She is a smart and sharp women with a very strong opinion.

Declan, a musician, is incredibly drawn to her sharp tongue and her quick whit. Getting her attention is harder then he thinks.

This was a new to me author, and absolutely loved this book, well written and all the characters were interesting really hoping this isnt the last of them. Am looking forward to reading more of her work.

Thanks to Netgalley and Random House for this advanced copy.

I received an ARC from Netgalley! Thanks so much <3

WOW! So, let me just say I absolutely loved this book. Avery is my girl! I love her sass, cleverness, and her struggles. She is real and complicated but someone I would want to be friends with. I know she'd tell me the truth if I asked her something and would be a lot of fun to hang out with.

Declan. Wow. What a hero ;) Loooved him. He surprised me a few times which I loved. I wasn't sure what to make of him when him and Avery first met. I love Kat and Jamie <3 Kat is the type of best friend every girl wants. She's fun, sensitive, and calls you out when you need it.

Thanks again for the ARC and I can't wait to read more from Tricia!

A great book by another new-to-me author! This is the story about Avery and Declan, both had personal demons that made their HEA journey a bit bumpy. Avery, is an awesome heroine in this story, she has a career in a male-dominated field along with having some self-esteem issues, but she also has this strength to her. As for Declan, it took a bit to really get a feel of him, but I really liked his reaction to their first meet. Avery was a bit snarky to him, her past relationships has made her a bit defensive especially with how attractive he was, but he didn’t back down and the pursuit was on.

What started off as just a temporary fling became so much more as their feelings became stronger. They both fought hard against anything more, but the chemistry was too strong. Those sexy scenes were off the chart! Unfortunately their demons arises and causes a bit of angst between the two. But once they both were able to let go of past hurts, their happily ever after was really beautiful.

The secondary characters in this book were so instrumental to their story, I hope we can get their story too.

All in all a great book.

Thank you Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept for giving me the opportunity to read this complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

New Orleans is my favorite city and my go to vacation spot. So, I try to read as many novels in that setting as I can find. Clearly, my many trips there have been remiss. I have never experienced NOLA like Avery did. She’s a very different leading character and her size is not the issue. Her personality runs hot and cold. Declan is full of angst and hotness that you would expect from a musician. Their initial meeting was unusual and the discrepancies continued. The reader finds they have more in common than it seemed and enough differences to keep their growing relation intriguing. I enjoyed this book and need to schedule another trip to the crescent city.

Fun Fun Fun. This was a great book. I loved the support characters and hope to read their story next. The characters were entertaining. The setting was well written. Good book

I kind of loved this book. Characters were genuine, honest, and real. Seems like those are similar adjectives, but they're all true here.

I instantly looked for more books from this author, there are none. So I'll wait a bit impatiently for her next one. :)

4 1/2 stars.

As the weather starts to drop this is the perfect book to curl up with and keep you warm! It's also so great to read a story that empowers all women and body types. You get so used to the size 2 with a tiny waist in romance novels that it was so much fun to ready a story that includes everyone without making the whole story about that!

I loved the chemistry between the two main characters. A really good romance. I also liked the friendship of the two best friends. I hope you are writing her friends love story!
