Description

Meet the Kellys of Whiskey River, Texas, men who have always gone through life, and women, with their father’s legendary charm.

Wyatt Kelly, CEO of Kelly Boots, is rumored to do everything with his cowboy boots on, including seducing women into memorable one-night stands. Growing up the second eldest son of a philandering charmer, Wyatt’s seen first hand how messy relationships can get when the heart’s involved, and he’s determined to leave no scars. No woman’s tempted Wyatt to break his vow until he meets Juliette Rossi.

Juliette is all about business. She’s focused on turning the lavender farm she and her cousin inherited into a successful, world-wide company. Her meticulous plans are on the right track until she accepts a dare to spend the night with Wyatt after the annual Boots & Bangles Gala. Juliette’s fantasized about Wyatt for years… One night will get him out of her system for good, right?

Wrong.

Can she convince Wyatt that he’s more than his Kelly heritage? Will Wyatt agree that one night just isn’t enough?

Meet the Kellys of Whiskey River, Texas, men who have always gone through life, and women, with their father’s legendary charm.

Featured Reviews

One Night with the Tycoon by Katherine Garbera is the third release in the Whiskey River series and turns its attention on Wyatt Kelly and Juliette Rossi, younger brother to Trey Kelly and cousin to Ariana Wright, lead characters from the second installment, respectively. Neither Wyatt nor Juliette have had much time for romantic commitments, focusing mostly on becoming successful in their respective fields. Wyatt has had a reputation as only being with women for a night and never having anything to do with them afterward. Juliette initially thinks that all she wants with him is a singular night, but then she quickly realizes that she wants more. Typically, she believes she's the one woman who can break Wyatt of his one-night-only habit, but Wyatt has that stipulation in place for a reason.

I'm sincerely hoping that the review copy I received from NetGalley was exactly that--a review copy. There were a lot of errors that obviously still needed to go through an editor's fine-toothed comb, and I'm not just talking grammar and sentence construction here. There were times that the text felt jumbled, leaving me a tad confused. I also felt something of a disconnect with the lead characters, though they certainly did have their moments. I guess I was looking for more of that chemistry that I want to get from the people whose stories I read about, making me want to become invested in their romance. I felt sorry at times for Juliette for obviously pushing for that something more that Wyatt simply wasn't willing to give her. This was an okay read but I;ll certainly read the rest of the series. One Night with the Tycoon gets three stars. ♥

Excellent quick read. Wyatt Kelly is perfectly happy with his life. CEO of Kelly Boots and a simple uncomplicated life of one night stands. Never does he want to repeat the acts of his father, so never getting too involved with one woman seems the only way to go. That is until Juliette Rossi and their one night together has him thinking about things he can never have!

I am loving this Whiskey River series and this one is a book that will give you a great afternoon of entertainment. I highly recommend it.

The Whiskey River series has been such fun to follow, and we aren’t done yet by any means. Watching the unexpected brothers become family as each story moves along has been part of the charm of this series for me. We don’t get to choose our family usually – but these fine men are making that choice to bond in spite of their reservations about the situation.

Wyatt Kelly is convinced he is the carbon copy of his father – and there is no way he is going to settle down with one woman because he believes he is incapable of being faithful to her. So Wyatt has gone through his adult life as a one night wonder. The ladies know the rules and he is content with his lifestyle. Until one woman matters, then he needs to do some deep thinking about his life.

Juliette has been attracted to Wyatt for years. Even going away to Paris for a time hasn’t dulled the spark she feels around this man. Oh, she knows his reputation of one night stands and tonight at the annual Boots & Bangles Gala she’s going to make her move. Yes, it’s a gamble but she simply has to know if what she’s felt all these years is real – and if she can change a cowboy’s single minded ways.

One Night with the Tycoon was such a delightful story. Juliette and Wyatt were perfect together, each strong in their own rights but even stronger together. It will take each a bit of time and soul searching before they find their happy ever after, but the journey there is an enjoyable ride. This is a quick read, fast paced and well worth the time spent with these handsome men and their lovely ladies.

Looking for a happy ending and sinfully sexy characters? Then I’d highly recommend One Night with the Tycoon – and you will find the answer to the question… does this cowboy ever take his boots off? *grin*

There was more to this story than the blurb allude, and much more to the characters than player and a cold business woman, as they see themselves at first. In fact, the characters are rather complex, and have some concern they have to face within, until they are ready for a relationship.
They are both stubborn, business minded, and determined to keep living as they have. Wyatt is struggling with his father's death, the new brothers that came their life unannounced, and his fear of being the same kind of man, unable to commit, as his father was. Wyatt doesn't do relationships, he never has, and he is not about to change that, no matter how much Juliette entices him.
Juliette came back from France a bit broken, her plans with her career, that she had invested everything in, didn't work out, her reputation as a cold business woman bothered her, and her attraction to Wyatt was taking her concentration.
The affair Wyatt and Juliette set out to have, is scorching hot. They have the chemistry, they connect, and walking away from it, is making both miserable. But before they can build a true, lasting relationship, they have some work to do within, and it's not an easy road. I have enjoyed this series, the contention and bonding of the new brothers, the passion and ardor the brothers set out to do everything in their lives, and the pure adoration they have for the women they fall for. Wyatt and Juliette had all that as well, as soon as they got through the angst and misgivings they had about what their future holds. It was a quick read, with a zeal, fervor, and joy

I’m really enjoying the Whiskey River series. The characters are engaging and the stories are light, fast, fun reads. This is Wyatt and Juliette’s story and boy do these two have chemistry! Wyatt fears that he will be like his dad and be unable to commit to one woman so he doesn’t even try, one night is all he gives them. Juliette thinks shes ok with that and when she finds herself drawn to Wyatt she gives him his one night. It turns out to not be enough for either of them. Once again I found myself drawn into the lives of the characters and the town and I cant wait for more. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

Juliette decides to allow herself one night with Wyatt. He has issues about being a one night only with women since his father Boots fathered other children and wasn't a faithful husband. Juliette is all work since she's good at it and isn't good at relationships. These two find out that it isn't easy to walk away from each other. The path to their hea is rocky but well worth it later. Good read.

One Night with the Tycoon was a good read.

This book had the perfect amount of drama and it wasn't overly done. It was just enough to keep you interested in both main characters. I cant wait to read the next book in the series. I'm enjoying seeing all the brothers find their perfect partners =)

Thank you Netgalley and Tule Publishing for the advance copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.

3 Stars for this entry

What a child saw and experience from a crotchety, headstrong, manipulative father left a brand on this son... Wyatt has been making sure he stays clear of his father's legacy; breaking women's hearts. This is the story of Wyatt Kelly and Juliette Rossi.

Wyatt has learned one time only with a woman will ensure his never being anything like his old man. He clearly lays out the ground rules...and lives by them...

Until he is finally unable to fight his desire for Juliette. They are at the charity ball he and his brothers do every year. A band is playing and before he knows it, Juliette is in his arms...moving her soft, sweet body next to his...swaying with the music...her lips so close...

It took only one kiss and then these two had to experience being together...She had had desires for him for a very long time... he ... drawn to her, as well. Promises in their individual minds... experiencing this ... being together will work... one time will be enough...

Well, maybe not.

This was a sweet addition to the Whiskey series and both characters were destined to come together in the way that they did. There are more brothers... so we know more love stories will be coming.

One Night with the Tycoon is the third in the Whiskey River series. I am enjoying this series with Katherine Garbera and Eve Gaddy romances. This third book in the series is Wyatt Kelly's story. I absolutely loved the match up of Wyatt and Juliette. The heartbreaker and serious businesswoman, I couldn't wait to see what their one night would lead to. I'm looking foward to reading more in the series.

Juliette Rossi left Paris Perfumery to Texas. She brought her friends with her. She worked hard in Paris but her job didn't pay off after working so hard. So she comes back to Texas to start new shop with her cousin Ariana. Ariana just got back with Trey and they were invited to Kelly's Gala where she meets Wyatt. Wyatt is good looking guy and everyone believed he did everything with his boots on. Juliette maybe thought being with Wyatt for one night will be enough but she was in for more. However, both were feeling similar way but he couldn't admit to that feeling. It was short read but I felt Juliette was clinging to him too much. She keep saying maybe this will be last time i will try.. Maybe there were not enough story from Wyatt. Juliette definitely had more feelings to him than he had for him.. At the end finally, it was a happy ending. I hope there is a book about ariana and Trey. It was quick summer read for me.

Can two very headstrong independent individuals find a way to admit their feelings for each other and find a happy medium and their happily ever after?

Wyatt Kelly is the CEO of his own boot company and the second son of a man who loved the ladies. Having seen how things seemed to always end for his father’s relationships, he decides early on that the he will have no relationship with a woman last longer than one date.

Juliette Rossi is all about turning around and expanding the lavender farm and business she runs with her cousin. She had gone to France to make her mark but ends up being burned before coming home.

This is book three of a four part series written by different authors. All stand alone but the characters are blended into each story making for a very pleasant read since you become familiar with them all as you read the series. But do not be worried if you haven’t read any of the others yet. Just open up your book and dive into this one.

Full disclosure - I was provided with an advance reader copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review of this book.

One Night with the Tycoon (Whiskey River Series Book 3) by Katherine Garbera is a terrific addition to the series. The story itself is well written though not very long, 10 chapters I believe is all but a lot is packed in those chapters. At the beginning this looks to be a flirty, easy read but is really is much more substantial. This is Wyatt Kelly’s story after his father’s bombshell of a will has been read.

Neither Wyatt nor Juliette believe that they have the time needed to invest in a full fledge relationship. However, as the story progresses it is shown that this is simply the excuse they give. They use work to compensate for the major changes in their lives. Honestly, it is rather sad at times to see them longing for real love but being fearful of taking the risk.

Juliette is a character that speaks for all of us. She needs to be loved for herself. To quote Victor Hugo from Les Miserables, “Life’s greatest happiness is to be convinced that we are loved.” I will admit I kept reading to see if Wyatt is the man up to this challenge. There is a lot going on in his life too but it is Juliette that I identify with the most.

Whereas the focus is on Wyatt Kelly, all three brothers, Trey, Nicholas and Xander make appearances. The first book in the series gives the terms of Boots Kelly’s will. However, all four of the brother are good men so not much of the focus is on the drama of having to all live on the ranch for a year. That has been fine with me. I really like these stories just the way that they are.

Very good story, I have enjoyed each book read so far. Juilette and Wyatt are certainly more stubborn than the others. Wyatt doesn't think he's a steady relationship kind of guy, but Juilette gets under his skin as he's done to her. They keep pushing each other away after they give into the temptation of each other. Definitely recommend to read.

3 - "Is it true... Do you do everything with your boots on?" Stars.

Book three in the Whiskey River although entertaining enough, doesn't really offer much in the way of surprises. Wyatt Kelly is your standard one and done, commitment-phobe, and Juliette Rossi is the woman hoping that she can change him. As you would guess, all does not go according to plan, and what ensues is a month or two's worth of 'cat & mouse' between them.

IMAGE.

Both have deeper feelings for the other, but it all hangs on whether Wyatt can step out from his deceased fathers shadow, and disprove the old adage of the 'apple never falling far from the tree'.

"I just don't do relationships. You're the first woman I've wanted to make things work with and frankly, I have no idea if I can."

If you have an hour or two that you are looking for something, light, easy-going and relatively stress free to read then this would certainly be a book I would recommend, but having read the previous book in the series, this installment seemed to be a little lacking in the depth and emotional development of its predecessors.

Nicolas and Xander Blue, are still to come, and I am looking forward to seeing what stories the authors of this series give them.

One Night With The Tycoon brings the reader back to Whiskey River where the second of Boots Kelly's four sons is about to discover that he's no longer a love 'em and leave 'em kind of guy. Wyatt Kelly is gorgeous, sexy and a powerful businessman. Like his father he loves women and they love him right back yet he's scared of getting involved in case he hurts a woman the way his father hurt his mother. Juliette Rossi is back in Whiskey River developing her lavender business. She's confident about her business skills but when it comes to relationships she's nowhere near so self assured. Despite this, every time she bumps into Wyatt she feels a pull of attraction to him and when it seems he might be interested in her too, she decides to throw caution to the wind for a night of passion in his arms. Neither Juliette nor Wyatt is prepared to admit to being interested in anything more than that one night but despite their best efforts they can't stop thinking about each other.
This is a light, fun read and while it's best read as part of the series, it stands up alone fairly well.

Was this review helpful?

Juliette knew she only got one night with Wyatt Kelly, CEO of Kelly Boots and 1/4 of the gorgeous Kelly brothers. He had the reputation of doing everything with his boots on, and Juliette was about to find out if it's true.

One night was all they got, but after their seemingly unforgettable tryst, Juliette found herself thinking about Wyatt the next day... and the next.. and the next. Wyatt, well, the feeling was mutual; he couldn't get Juliette out of his head. Although there is obvious sexual tension and undeniable attraction between the two, both are proud and stubborn and adamant in their decision not to hope for any romantic involvemnet after their one night.

Even if they couldn't get their hands and lips off each other.

This is another romantic and hot Whiskey River story by Katherine Garbera. And as usual, the reader is drawn to the characters and palpable romance. There was real emotion, and the writing was excellent. The Kelly brothers sure were total hunks, I'd want them in my neighborhood!

Juliette is so focused on building her business with her cousin she makes little time for anything else. She is a home town type of girl not really into big gala's or events. She goes to one knowing it will help the Lavender Dream become something big or at least she hopes. Only problem is she takes a dare and she never thought it would turn out the way it did, not she doesn't know whats up and whats right all she knows is she wants the one thing she's never had and that is to fit. Wyatt is on a role he is the CEO of his fathers company and he is a one night kind of guy. He knows that love just will not fit into his perfect constructed life. Problem with that is he never thought a dare would have him rethinking his plans for his life and fighting the one person he has been happy with his whole life, himself.

Who does not love a good cowboy book. I really liked this book it comes on strong and stays that way through whole book. No holds bar, the author has you wanting more with every turn of the page and all the while really enjoying all the fun and quirkiness of the characters in the book. The chemistry is off the charts and if leaves you wanting more. This book is short and sweet and to the point pack with a lot of fun and will not wonder about what happened at the end of the book. This book is so worth the read.

Even though you don't have to read each book in order, it does help because we see the reappearance of previous characters.

In this story we follow Wyatt Kelly and Juliette Rossi. Wyatt has a very weird and warped view on relationships, which can you blame the guy given who his father was. Juliette was sweet, very strong female lead. The way both characters played off each other kept you hooked on the story, plus the drama and Wyatt realizing he's wrong really helps. I can't wait for the remaining two books.

Rating 4 out of 5 Read@Book

Wyatt and Juliette have one thing in common, they don't believe in relationships. They are both focused on their careers and Wyatt does not want to make the same mistake as his dad. But can one night be enough for these two.

I love this town of Whiskey Creek and the Kelly brothers. This is a fast paced story in a novella but packed full of hot chemistry between Wyatt and Juliette.

I highly recommend this book along with the other Whiskey Creek stories. I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

For Book 3 of the Whiskey River Series, author Katherine Garbera brought the readers back to Whiskey River, Texas where “One Night with the Tycoon” pairs Wyatt Kelly, CEO of Kelly Boots and Juliette Rossi, a budding entrepreneur.

Both Wyatt and Juliette are very successful with their chosen careers but their love life had something to be desired. Wyatt has commitment issues with women and Juliette is so focused with her lavender farm. Between the two of them, there is no time for love, except the night of the annual Boots & Bangles Gala.

It was supposed to be a one-night stand but Wyatt and Juliette did not count on the chemistry between them to overrun their brain functions. And then, they find out that their worst enemies when it comes to love are themselves. The question is, will their brain or will their heart win?

One Night with the Tycoon is Rated M for Mature due to sexual content.

Was this review helpful?

As mentioned in my earlier reviews of this ‘Whiskey River Series’, the Boots and the Blues are sure having their lives turned upside down with the discovery of a new family and the punches the women in their lives sure hit the heart, straight and hard.

Wyatt Kelly may have all the money under the sky, but when it comes to women, he is a one night kind of a guy and when the stirrings of love and attraction seep into his heart, he is as scared as his brothers (and even more so), who finally found love.

But Juliette Rossi sends all his vows and determination exactly in the opposite direction – in the direction of actually wanting to make Juliette his very own. Juliette wants nothing more than making the lavender business into the next big thing with her cousin, and Wyatt is just a small speed bump in her life. One night between the sheets sets fire to their attraction and hearts blazing. But there are insecurities to be atoned, egos to be stoked and fears to overcome.

And this love story definitely goes on a sweet and salty path as Wyatt and Juliette find their homecoming. It really is fascinating to read stories of the same series but written by different authors, yet maintaining the authenticity of the basic foundation, linking characters among their individual stories and keeping the readers captivated.

“One Night With The Tycoon” is penned by Katherine Garbera and what a fine job she does with Wyatt and Juliette. Arrogance, protectiveness and ego Wyatt spars with sassy, sexy and down to earth Juliette. With family support at its teasing best, with brothers coming together in support and understanding, this is one of those sweet stories that leave us wanting more.

Just finished. Lots of typo and sentence errors. Needs editing for extra words and tense of words in several sentences. Story was sweet and great for those readers who do not like foul language and erotic sexual scenes in the stories. Very predictable writing and almost no suspense to the book.

Loved Juliette and Wyatt's love story. This is a heartwarming story. Wyatt is determined to have only one nights stands. No long term relationship for him until he met Juliette. Juliette is looking for more than a one night stand and she's trying to get Wyatt to change his mind and accept that their relationship is more than one night.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley/Tule Publishing for an honest review. "One Night with the Tycoon" by Katherine Garbera is book three in the Whiskey River series. Wyatt Kelly has never been tempted to let his heart get involved in a relationship until he meets Juliette. Wyatt is afraid of becoming like his philandering dad so he keeps his relationships with women to a one-night stand. Juliette has fantasized about Wyatt for years. She decides that she is going to spend one night with Wyatt to get him out of her system. Well, you can guess how that worked. The chemistry between Wyatt and Juliette was great! I have really enjoyed this series so far. The books can be read as a standalone but if you read them all you will have a better understanding of all the characters. This is a great quick steamy read. There is just something about how the author pulls the reader in and you want to learn what happens to the other characters. I am enjoying the Whiskey River series and look forward to reading the next book. FYI, contains mature content. https://booksnuggle.wordpress.com

I received a copy of books one and three from Netgalley/Tule Publishing for an honest review. I enjoyed them so much I had to read the other three books. Each book can be read as a standalone but the stories has more depth if you read them all. If you haven't read the other books in the series, I recommend that you do. The authors do a great job of making the reader want more. I wish they would continue this series with some of the characters that were just mentioned in this series.

The third in the Whiskey River series functions okay as a stand-alone but I feel that if I had read the previous two, this would have been a more enjoyable read. That said, this is a straightforward "courtship" between Wyatt and Juliette. The complication? He's a one and done and she's too busy with her career. Both find out that, when the right person crosses your path, things change. Sweet and hot. Steamy and cute. A light romantic read that will bring a smile to your face.

Wyatt is struggling with his dad's death. his dad broke a lot of females hearts and Wyatt fears he is a lot like his father. So he is a one night kind of guy. Juliette and her cousin Ariana are running a lavender business and plan on making it big. Juliette has fantasized about Wyatt for years. But although you wouldn’t think it Juliette is insecure inside. She decides her and Wyatt can have one night maybe that will be enough.
A really good story and plot. It is a novella but everything flows together . I also enjoyed the characters . Juliette's and Wyatt's twists and turns they go through were enjoyable to read. I recommend.
