Synopsis:
Eva dodges the fans, media, and gossip that follow her supermodel mom and rock star family members by wearing disguises. After an aimless gap year, she struggles to figure out what she wants from life. She moves in with her famous guitar god brother in Austin while he recovers from a drunken stage stunt accident and tries to stay sober. When a hot Texas cowboy named Alex takes Eva by surprise, she risks her safety and security of anonymity by letting him into her unconventional life.
Alex is captivated by Eva and promises to protect her privacy. Yet he has a secret of his own—the fling he had with an older woman is fraught with scandalous potential for him and now Eva. He broke free of that mistake months ago, or so he thought. As things heat up with Eva, his old flame returns and won’t leave him alone.
Just when Alex thinks he has the reins on the situation, his ex teams up with a gossip reporter hell-bent on invading Eva’s privacy. The resulting exposé, with a sly spin on a recent encounter with his ex, is Alex’s worst nightmare, and Eva’s unsure what to believe. Can she face the world with Alex at her side or will she return into hiding?

My Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Whiskey On Our Shoes is a contemporary romance novel by Tonya Preece. Alex has escaped a toxic relationship and is trying to regain his life. Eva is from a famous family and is learning to balance her privacy and public life. Alex has a chance encounter with Eva. There is an instant spark between Alex and Eva, yet they must learn to steer their relationship through the trials of fame and secrets.
I enjoyed how Alex and Eva are in their early twenties and have made mistakes yet are levelheaded. I loved watching this young love unfold. The couple’s relationship developed naturally. Alex and Eva were lovely characters, and I wanted to see them happy. It was so much fun seeing the passion build between Alex and Eva.
The plot was fast-paced, and the story was entertaining. The secondary characters were colorful and exciting. This was a delightful, easy read. There was plenty of romance and conflict. Tonya Preece has written a fun, exciting romance with plenty of heart!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book through Xpresso Tours. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
