"Whiskey Girl was a raw, gritty second chance romance threaded with a country music theme about first-time love, second chances, regrets, heartbreak and a love that never ceased to burn despite everything that stood in its way. Adriane Leigh delivered a beautiful slow burn second chance romance that truly made us feel with twists that made our hearts plummet and soar." - TotallyBooked Blog

"With prose that is beautiful and confident, affecting without being maudlin--Whiskey Girlsqueezed my heart while continuously bringing tears of joy to my eyes, and I had to take a very long, deep breath in the end to fully absorb all the emotions it left in me.

This was undoubtedly one of the most moving books I've read in a long time." - Natasha is a Book Junkie

"An unforgettable, epic love story about two lost souls who, against all odds, find themselves through their passion and music. Filled with raw emotion, this lyrical, all-the-feels masterpiece may catapult Adriane Leigh into the league of Colleen Hoover, Brittainy Cherry, and L.J. Shen. -- Nelle L'Amour, New York Times Bestselling author of THAT MAN

"6+ cliff diving, whiskey shot, hung over for days stars! Leigh reached out and grabbed me from the very first line, and never let go. The writing was beautiful and captivating, the characters were perfectly imperfect, and the story... well, it was flawless. Fallon and Augusta Belle's story is one that will be with me forever--it was heart breaking, intense, swoon worthy, and raw--everything I love in a story." - AR Myles, Amazon Bestselling Author

From the Author
Chapter One Excerpt:
FallonThe first time I met Augusta Belle Branson she was fixin' on killin' herself.Said the minute I'd walked up, she was tryin' to decide if jumpin' off the bridge in the center--where the water was deep and the current stronger, would be a swifterend-or if jumping near the edge, where jagged limestone labs anchored the slow moving current awaited her.Certain death for sure.I replayed the split-second when the blinding summer sun opened through the orange oak leaves, a halo of warmth enveloping her.Like an angel, stardust sparkling straight from Heaven, ploppin' her in my path.And then she turned, the most startling shade of liquid amber eyes breathing something real and alive, like fire, into my soul.That same something I'd been runnin' from, or chasin', dependin' on how you looked at it, just about everyday since.I settled myself on the lone wooden stool that awaited at center stage, my thoughts drawing back to the present. My head swam, but the old familiar chords drove on through the current of whiskey in my blood, strumming the first few notes of a song I wrote a lot of nights ago by the sheer act of muscle memory.Old acoustic guitar resting on my knee, my first and third fingers in position on the strings, the opening chords of Whiskey Girl bled from my fingers.Every chord, another dagger.Every whispered lyric, my undoing.
