Winslow Heights #3
Whiskey and Whispers
One hot summer night, just days before they were supposed to leave for college, Tate Winslow and Catherine Townsend swore their love would last forever—a bond too powerful to break, no matter the distance.
Years later, fate brings them together at a friend's anniversary party. The once passionate lovers are now more like strangers. Life had torn them apart, and it seems as if their love had been one of its casualties. Yet the moment Tate sets his gaze on Cat, he realizes that isn't the case—their chemistry burns just as fiercely as before.
But their reunion takes a dark turn when one of their closest friends is found murdered. With danger closing in and trust unraveling, everyone becomes a suspect. If Tate and Cat want a second chance at love, they’ll have to stay one step ahead of a ruthless killer who could strike again at any moment. In a deadly game where every move could be their last, love might not be the only thing on the line—it might be their lives.

Old Flames. Buried Secrets. One Killer Among Friends.
Olivia Jaymes' third Winslow Heights novel, Whiskey and Whispers, continues the saga of the Winslow siblings—the founding family of the small Midwestern town that bears their name. Ever since the siblings began searching for the truth behind their mother's decade-old disappearance, the town has been surrendering one long-buried secret after another. For a place where everyone knows everyone else's business, Winslow Heights has certainly been keeping a lot hidden!
What begins as a high school reunion for Tate Winslow and his friends quickly turns into something far more dangerous—a long-awaited second chance at love wrapped inside a cauldron of jealousy, betrayal, and mistrust.
The result?
Tate reunites with the love of his life, Cat...
...and one of their closest friends is murdered in broad daylight.
Romance and suspense collide before the second chapter is over.
Jaymes wastes no time pulling readers into a fast-paced mystery where everyone has something to hide and every friendship suddenly comes under suspicion. As Tate and Cat investigate Tyler Eckerd's murder, they also uncover startling new information surrounding Lucy Winslow's disappearance. Every answer leads to another question, and every clue draws them deeper into danger.
Be prepared to lose sleep trying to solve this one before Tate does.
He figures it out...just in time.
But almost loses Cat in the process.
I certainly never guessed the killer—and isn't that exactly what we want from a romantic suspense novel? Jaymes knows exactly how to keep readers guessing while steadily turning up both the danger and the passion.
Speaking of heat...
Tate and Cat's reunion goes from slow burn to blazing inferno in record time. Yet what makes their romance memorable isn't the steam—it's the history between them.
Jaymes beautifully reveals how youthful misunderstandings, missed opportunities, and poor communication kept these soulmates apart for years. Watching them finally choose forgiveness over regret makes their happily-ever-after feel completely earned.
Sigh...pass the tissues, please.
Then, just when you think the emotional roller coaster is over, Jaymes delivers one final surprise.
Imagine a Hallmark movie after drinking three espressos.
Sand. Champagne. Family. Hawaii. A surprise wedding. Adult Sisters serving as flower girl and ring bearer. New girlfriends standing as bridesmaids. Brothers lined up as best men. I could practically hear Elvis singing in the background.
But wait...who's getting married?
You'll have to read Whiskey and Whispers to find out.
And just like that, Olivia Jaymes proves once again that in Winslow Heights, every secret uncovered only uncovers another—and I, for one, can't wait to go back!

Whiskey and Whispers
This is the story of Tate and Cat and their second chance at love. However, this one was so much more. First of all, there was a lot of suspense. The story continues with the disappearance of Lily Winslow ten years before. And, on top of all the Winslow drama, one of Tate and Cat's friends is murdered in broad daylight.
I will definitely have to read the series from the beginning, starting with Zach before Sam's story is released.
