I loved Hartnett's changing major series and this book was the first stand alone book I've read by her and it was enjoyable.

Hannah is a rep for the biggest liquor brands in the Northwest and her career is her priority, nothing else until she meets Alexandra Lang, a small business distiller in her small town.

They are both similar in their drive to be successful, and the competitiveness was written very well. Hartnett writes such witty banter and compassion with great back stories and multi layered MCs. A wonderful read, by a fantastic author and I look forward to her next book.

Only downfall for me was the excessive details on bourbon production and tasting that it took away from the story, but I could tell Hartnett obviously did her research.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I liked the flow and the love story in the book. However, I think that perhaps too many details on bourbon production and tasting to be a fully enjoyable read. I love to do wine tasting and I am a chemist, so it is not that I do not follow the descriptions, but it is like half of the book and way too little about the MC's and the story. It would have been nice to instead get more about their backstory.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for allowing me to read and review this book.

I very much enjoyed this book. The writing was great and the characters were well developed. I hope to read more from this author in the future.
