text: Whiskey Business by Avon Gale ~ Book Review by Karen – Prism Book Alliance®
  Avon Gale is one of my favourite contemporary romance authors, and I love her style and that she brings so much of herself to her books. I am totally clueless with US sports, but I get passion and devotion – and all her characters have so much of this.
  This was delightful, from the moment I started to read it I was sucked in to Gallows Grove in all it's macabre delight, and I thought Ryder was lovely. A caring local boy, treated as something of a gay treasure by his compatriots, with a sense of love for his town , the whiskey and his families identity. Characters like this are a joy to read.
  Adam is the antithesis of Ryder, in control- always. From a cold clinical family he was the perfect number cruncher. And the chemistry between them sizzles , they skirt round this for a while, but this is a novella and they get sexually involved fairly quickly, and when they do it's electric.
  The language in this is so evocative of place, and used well – you don't drown in it, there is a flavour, so that know you're in Kentucky but its not a pastiche. The relationship is strong, angst free but not tension free, and the ending is glorious.
  This book made me want to kick off my shoes, drink some whiskey and relax.
