Smooth as Whiskey

Valentine Texas, Book 4

By: Lyra Parish

Narrated by: Leanne Blade, Austin Rising

Top three reasons why I shouldn't eff around and find out with my older brother's best friend.

1. He's eight years older than me.

2. My family would never approve.

3. He's hiding something.

So we become roommates. And I become his greatest temptation.

I play his game of cat and mouse until we collapse between the sheets with a promise to tell no one.

The only problem is that secrets don’t stay hidden in our small town for long—not our forbidden relationship or the pasts we’re both running from.

Smooth as Whiskey is book 4 in the Valentine Texas Series. Each book can be listened to as a stand-alone, but they do interconnect. This is a small-town, older brother's best friend, secret relationship, contemporary romance book with a happily ever after.
