Whiskey Business is the third book in the Love in No Man's Land series by Becca Jackson. This is a fake dating adjacent story with an age gap and pining from afar. This series should be read in order as some of the storyline goes across all of the books.
Marcus is dreading his family reunion coming up. It's a family cruise, and even though it's been a year since his fiancé ran off with half of his stuff, he still hasn't told his parents, who his ex had never even met. He makes a drunken bet with Ari where Ari has to join him on the cruise as the prize so he doesn't have to face them alone. Marcus never imagined Ari would claim to be his fiancé to make life easier for him. It may start fake, but things get real very quickly. Leaving Marcus to wonder how long he's felt this way about his friend.
Ari is starved for love in so many ways. His friends give him part of what he needs, so when the opportunity to go on the cruise comes up, he jumps on it with gusto. It's not a hardship when he's been basically half in love with Marcus for years. When he meets Marcus' parents, he instantly wants them to love him and continue showing him kindness, so he claims to the fiancé. He's surprised when Marcus lets things get real between them. And will it continue after the cruise ends?
It was a joy watching these men finally get together. There's a lot of pain surrounding both of them, but they learn and grow with the support of each other and their friends. Their friendship strengthened tenfold, and the sparks between them were off the charts.
I really enjoyed seeing their friends from the previous books and seeing what they've been getting up to (new friends, too). Duckie was especially hilarious, planting the ducks all around the ship.
I do wish there had been a bit more of the story when they get home from the cruise, but I think it ended how it should. Overall, I genuinely liked this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes low-angst rom-coms.
