Whiskey Lullaby, an all new sexy and emotional standalone by Stevie J. Cole is AVAILABLE NOW!
Synopsis
We all have guilty pleasures.
Mine was the boy my father took in. The guy everyone said I was too good for. The one I knew would ruin me.
But I couldn't help it. The way Noah Greyson's voice sounded when he sang whiskey lullabies to me in the dark; how perfect his arms felt wrapped around my stomach, his nose nuzzled in my hair- that's what made me fall. That intimacy was what made me so very weak. But now millions of women drift off to sleep while Noah sings the love story we wrote, and it was never meant for the world.
The worst mistake I made wasn’t loving him, it was thinking he loved me, too.
At least, that’s what I thought until now…
Review
Ooooooh all the feels! I love me a good old fashioned love story and this is exactly what you get!
Hannah is a good girl. Being the preachers daughter at age 20 she's still a virgin. She's not interested in boys. She's been studying hard and is now a nurse. She's come home to help her father look after her sick mother. She has a lot on her shoulders and sometimes she just needs an escape. Her best friend takes her to bar and she hears the most beautiful voice she has ever heard. The person singing is a man she shouldn't go for. He's from the wrong side of the tracks and has heartbreak written all over him but she can't resist the draw of him.
Noah is doing the best he can to get by. With his badboy reputation this is hard to do. He tries to take care of his grandmother the only person who was ever there for him. Abandoned by his parents he knows he's no good and ruins everything he touches. The only thing he's good at is singing. He has a gig at a local bar that gets him by. His grandmother finds him a job helping out at the Preachers farm after taking him to church. In church he see's the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. She's sobbing and he can't tear his eyes away from her. Later in the bar he spots the same girl. He knows she's good and he shouldn't taint her but he can't help it.
Both know they shouldn't be with each other but their hearts are drawn together on a whole different level. He's the badboy the whole town warned her against. She's the good girl he will taint by just talking to her.
Gah!!! They're so sweet together!! I loved them.
Noah was just given a bum ride from birth and i hated how the whole town judged him. He was so sweet under the rough exterior. The way his only aim was to make Hannah smile stole my heart! He knew what she was going through but wasn't the best with words so he did the only thing he could. Brighten her dark days just a little. Who doesn't love a man who would do that for you!
Hannah was although vulnerable, pretty strong in her own right. She knew everyone would warn her against him but she still wanted him anyway. I loved how she pushed herself when he was around to do things she wouldn't usually. She just loved him it was a simple as that. Her relationship with her mom was amazing and that was a lovely thing to read throughout the book. Mom was always there to guide her.
I gotta be honest they could have done with a banging of heads at certain points but that's what makes a great romance. The fact that you care enough to want to do that. That you care enough to yell at your kindle saying "Just bleeding say it!" lol.
The writing as always with Stevie J. Cole was spot on. She draws you into her world and makes you part of it. I felt like one of the ladies in the Beauty shop getting the inside scoop!
Drawn in from the start it takes you on Hannah and Noah's journey. You feel their uncertainty and fears and it cracks your heart but by the end you also feel their relief, love and happiness.
Fantastic read if you want to relax and enjoy a fabulous love story.

Excerpt
Noah,
We were friends. Lovers. Soulmates… and very horrible people together.
I wonder, have you forgotten me by now? Have you forgotten the promises we made to each other?
Do you remember the person I became, how I fell for you even though I knew it would kill me to love someone like you? I knew better, Noah. I did. And this letter isn’t to admonish you or tear you down. No, it’s to make you see what you do to the people you say you care so deeply for.
When I was with you, you made me feel safe and loved and wonderful, but in the end, I felt stupid and so vulnerable. I want to believe you never meant to hurt me; that you never meant to make me hate you. I want to believe all the things you said were true, but it’s hard for me. With everything I’ve found out since we didn’t say goodbye, you must understand why I wish I could forget you.
I will forever hate that I was so weak for you, but I was only weak because I loved you. Despite it all.
I'll always love you.
Hannah
