Whiskey Ridge is this wonderful small town full of people who love and auccept everyone who lives there including newcomers. There just seems to be a calming peace there that puts your heart and soul at ease and makes your heart open to so much. Samantha got into town just a few days before her sister Katie's wedding, and wasnt looking forward to spending the several weeks there house sitting. Tucker was the towns Veterinarian, and he and Samantha didnt seem to hit it off at first. Let the magic of Whiskey Ridge and the need these two have to find love start working and I'm sure the sparks will fly and love will bloom. Dont miss out on this wonderful story as well as the series. Get your copy today and be swept away to this wonderful town.

Fascinating!
It's rare to find a hardcore character that's hard to like at the beginning and then fall in love with the character as the book progresses. Sam is an intense, big city attorney, who has no time for small town enjoyment. She is stuck in a small town performing wedding duties for her little sister. When she meets her ex- fiancée in town, he's engaged to another bridesmaid. Her ex is the reason she's hardcore and dedicated to her job. The next thing she knows, she's fake engaged to the town veterinarian, a man whom she's done nothing but insult and argue with. Suddenly, she's rethinking her big city job and her fake engagement.
I adored this book but I have one tiny little complaint! It was too short! I wanted more!

Samantha Ryan has spent years focusing on her high pressure law career in Atlanta but her baby sister Katie is getting married so for the next six weeks she will be in the tiny town of Whiskey Creek. When her sister invites the new local vet, Tucker Ellison over for dinner, Sam & Tucker are like oil & water. But when Sam runs into her ex-fiancé at the shower, she makes a mistake and Tucker becomes her white knight.
Both Sam & Tucker have been hurt. The romance that develops between them so sweet as Tucker shows Sam that living for your job is not really living. I loved the characters & the humor. I can’t wait for the next book.

ARC for honest review with no compensation
Always a Bridesmaid is book 4 in the Whiskey Ridge series. A sweet, humorous, great characters and well developed story that just made you want to keep reading...
Samantha and Tucker are total opposites, she's a high powered attorney that thinks city living, money and work are all she needs to be happy. He is a small town veterinarian who loves his job, makes decent money and wants to find his soulmate. When these two meet sparks fly but can Tucker show Samantha that sometimes when you least expect it...love shows up and all priorities change??

Friend or Foe
To her sister,Samantha was too stressed. Being a successful lawyer in Atlanta kept her too busyto even visit. Hopefully, she will have time to unwind while house sitting for the next month in Whiskey Ridge.
Katie decides to rock the boAt little and introduce her to the new veterinarian. Instant antagonism between the two is apparent. Will they continue as enemies of friends? That is the question.

I loved the blurb I read about this book.
I decided to rent it, and totally enjoyed this fun read.
The banter between the main characters, the character development, the situations they found themselves in, and the reality of wanting more for your life was believable, and the author wrote it in a fun and engaging way.
I’ve never read one of her books before, but now I’m looking forward to reading others.

A story of two people who have been hurt and there forth very wary of any type of relationship. A story that will grasp your attention and make you become totally immersed in their story. Very well developed plot and totally intriguing characters

I love the whole fake engagement thing into the real thing storyline. I love that the hero champions the heroine. I love that he was such a strong and good hero. It's frustrating that he didn't wait to hear the whole story, but again it all turns out in the end just like every love story. Love it!

I have truly devoured all things Rachel Hanna this year. Her books are light and easy to read with characters that have some depth in their character. I love the way her small towns make me want to move there. This one is a Type A lawyer who starts to fall for the small Town life

this was the hook that got me to read the series. i clearly didn't have to read the other 3 for this one was definitely a standalone. and i definitely didn't have to read the next one, though i will because the characters are adorable.

Wonderful Book!
This book was a joy to read. When I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about when I could get back to it. It’s a sweet story, believable characters, funny in parts, tense in parts, and overall made me smile and feel good. I can’t wait to read another of her books!

Cute, but rushed.
This is definitely a really cute story, and a trope I enjoy. The story just felt too short, and therefore rushed. I would’ve loved to see their time more fleshed out, so that we could’ve fallen in love with them.

Perfect Hallmark romcom that was quick and easy. I loved Tucker but I didn't like how snooty Sam was. I read it on my 2 hour flight to Atlanta funny enough.
