Buckle up for a wild ride as Dixie Whiskey finds forever love in TAMING MY WHISKEY, a funny, sexy, and emotionally riveting standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. The perfect love story for those who enjoy fiercely loyal and insanely sexy alpha heroes, smart, sassy heroines, strong family bonds, bikers, babies, and more! In TAMING MY WHISKEY… WHISKEY…
Being the princess of the Dark Knights motorcycle club doesn’t come with a white knight or a fairy-tale castle, and that’s okay, because Dixie Whiskey has never needed a man to slay her dragons or make her whole. Even so, after watching each of her brothers fall in love, she’d sure like a shot at her own happily ever after. But with the Dark Knights watching over her and the only man she’s ever wanted out of reach, she’s not holding her breath.
As the launch of Silver-Stone Cycles’ biggest line approaches, Jace Stone is left needing a favor from the one woman who holds the power to take him to his knees. He knows when it comes to sinfully gorgeous and sharp-tongued Dixie Whiskey, he must stay on his toes and keep his walls firmly in place. But Jace needs her for his business—and Jace Stone always gets what he wants.
When the tall, gruff, and darkly handsome biker presents an opportunity that any other woman might see as the chance of a lifetime, Dixie turns him down flat. But Jace is determined, and he pulls out all the stops—sending Dixie’s overprotective brothers up in arms. Rebellious Dixie takes a stand—going after the freedom, and the man, she’s always wanted. One scorching kiss leads to an undeniable connection, but Jace isn’t looking to be tied down, and Dixie refuses to play second fiddle. Can two untamable hearts find forever love in each other’s arms?

Dixie has intrigued me from the first story she appeared in. Growing up with those rough & dominant brothers, you knew she was going to be tough as all get out. I just didn’t expect her to also have a vulnerable side. Beautiful, sexy & strong, she could have any man she wanted but she needed someone that could stand up to her & not let her walk all over him.
Jace was almost perfect for Dixie. He was able to hold his own with her in all manners. He just needed to realize that he didn’t want to go through life without that significant other. He was the king of “no strings, no future” but subconsciously, he was just waiting until he felt he deserved his Queen.
This is my favorite Whiskey book. I thought that the Whiskey men were perfect but Dixie has them beat! She’s everything a woman wants to be – strong, sexy, self confident, witty, tender hearted & smart. She doesn’t take a back seat to anyone. Jace didn’t try to change her but loved her for those strengths. I really can’t wait to see where Ms. Foster takes her readers next!
Oy!! I have Whiskey Fever! Melissa packed this one with tender moments, unexpected twists, witty banter, sizzling passion, potential heartache, and true to Melissa Foster, nosy family and friends. Jace & Dixie have known each other for years and attracted to each other ever since. But, they talked themselves into believing that the other is off limits forever!! That is until he needs her for something and she makes him work for it! She is no pushover!! Watching them dance around the other and finding their way to their HEA was explosive and entertaining. I have several favorite scenes……and the “Bachelor Auction” is at the top of that favorite list!! Melissa….you did good!!! Thank you for bringing their stories to us!! You had me hooked since they appeared in River of Love!!!
Dixie Whiskey’s story is awesome!!
Dixie whiskey has had a crush on Jace Stone for years, but he never seemed to have any interest in her. Now that he’s looking for a replacement model and face for his new motorcycle line, she’s the ONLY person he wants?Well Dixie is nobody’s second choice! But Jace outbids everyone at a charity auction, and he has a chance to convince her she’s the right and only model. The more time they spend together, the more they can’t get the other out of their minds. There were no promises of a relationship or future, but Dixie has seen true love happen between her parents and her brothers’ wives. And Dixie deserves the same!
I loved how Dixie was a woman who knew what she wanted and went for it! I loved the insecurities that turned to powerful, sexy woman during the photo shoot. I wanted to hit Jace when he was and had been obsessed with Dixie, but still wasn’t willing to really give himself to her or a relationship. I was also frustrated when Dixie breaks down numerous times when she believes Jace won’t settle down with her. Where was she when they discussed this? Where was the badass who refused to be second choice, who stood up to her overprotective brothers and her father, and her extended family?
As I usually find with books written by Melissa Foster, I was fully engaged from beginning to the end of the book, and I enjoyed travelling the journey of these characters along with the rest of the Whiskey and Dark Knights families. I can’t wait for Quincy’s story!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Taming My Whiskey is the story of Dark Knight’s Motorcycle Club Princess Dixie Whiskey and Jace Stone. As the youngest, and only girl, in the Peaceable Harbor Whiskey family, Dixie’s family , especially her brothers, have been overly protective her entire life. When Dixie decided to take matters into her own hands and agrees to help Motorcycle magnum Jace you know there are going to be fireworks. Jace was never one to settle down but Dixie ignited a flame inside of him that could not be controlled. This book is the proof that love can appear when we least expect it once we open our heart to the possibilities.
Melissa Foster has once again written a story that is so real and believable that you can feel the emotions jump off the page and grab you. This is an amazing stand alone story but it is even better if you read all the Whiskeys since you get glimpses and updates on the other family members throughout this book. I wish Peaceable Harbor was a real place because I would love to visit and meet my own hunky hero. 5 stars for sure!
I have been waiting for this book since I first meet Dixie Whiskey. This hardcore sassy woman has been needing to find the right man to keep up/hold his own with Dixie plus be able to stand his ground with her overprotective brothers. Jace Stone is just the man for the job but will Jace give up his bachelor always moving lifestyle to be everything that Dixie wants and needs?
I love the Whiskeys and I thought Bullet’s book was the best till I fell head over heels in love with Jace and Dixie. I’m even more excited that we got o meet the next group of siblings the Wickeds and got updates on some past characters (Rush and Jayla). As always Melissa’s writing and characters were addicting, funny and of course, I love when all of the family are together.
This wild ride was everything and more than I could have wanted in Dixie’s story. The Whiskey family has made me love each and everyone of them and I was super excited to get Dixie’s story. She is not only smart, but strong and sassy as hell. Growing up as the only girl with three overprotective brothers and in a MC club makes her a tough badass girl. Jace is that super hot alpha male that will make you swoon so hard and love him just as much.
Dixie and Jace’s chemistry is so freaking explosive when these two come together and their story is packed full of every emotion possible. I laughed, cried, and fell in love with their whole journey.
I am loving this whole Whiskey series and even though that I have missed some of the books in between they are all stand-alones and each book gives you a little bit of every Whiskey member family and there is no way that you can walk away without falling in love with this family.
Everyone needs some Whiskey in their life. Don’t pass this series up….you won’t b disappointed!!!
Happy Reading Everyone!!

The first time we met Dixie (in Tru Blue – the first book of this series) you just knew her story was going to be dynamite and as we slowly met her brothers and other family members and got a peek into her life, the anticipation grew. The time is finally here!! Taming My Whiskey is Dixie’s story and it is absolutely fantastic and so worth the wait.
This is Dixie’s story – Dixie and Jace – Dixie wants what all her brothers have found: True Love, their happily-ever-afters and it is going to take a very strong man to fill that roll. Enter Jace. If you’ve read any of the prior Whiskey books, he will be familiar but his story is an unknown. He and Dixie have a history and though there has always been an attraction since the first time they met – they have both ignored it for reasons that will become clear(er) as the story unfolds.
When Jace sets his sights on Dixie and wants her to be the face for his new line of motorcycles and merchandise line – he will do anything to make that happen. Anything. After Dixie finally agrees, they spend a long weekend together in New York City and they finally both stop fighting their attraction to each other and the SPARKS FLY!!
Dixie is wanting her HEA but Jace is committed to his job first and foremost and those decisions break her heart. Will Jace realize his mistake? Will Dixie be able to get over this loss and find her true love? Once you start this book, you will not be able to put it down. There are moments of humor, tenderness, heat that will make you swoon. Melissa Foster has done it again!!
So, I’m pretty sure that by now you all know that I haven’t met a Melissa Foster book yet that I don’t love, and she’s done it again with Taming My Whiskey.All the good feelings!Dixie is one of my favorite characters from the Whiskey family and I was so happy that it was finally time for her to get her own story!I don’t think I could have loved Jace more. For such a tough guy, the beautiful soul inside him really shone through!/5 for another wonderful, must not miss book!
Dixie Whiskey, only daughter of the leader of the Dark Knights, has always been under the watchful eyes of her brothers. Every guy she’s ever dated has not measured up to their standards or had the guts to stand up to the Whiskey family, aka Dark Knights. Until Jace Stone…Dixie’s life long crush.
Jace Stone, successful businessman, has always had eyes for Dixie. When they were younger, Dixie was too young to act on any feelings and Jace wasn’t looking for a relationship. After working so hard to build a successful business, Jace realized something was missing. Not sure what it was until he crossed paths with Dixie again. After winning a date with Dixie at a charity auction, Jace can’t help but see Dixie in a different light. But will he be able to overcome his past and give Dixie a chance at forever…
Communication is KEY in any relationship! Jace and Dixie drove me crazy, in a good way, with their inability to communicate. Dixie was a strong woman, but had a soft girlie side she was afraid to let anyone see. I loved how she blindsided her brothers and dad. Hilarious! Dixie was kind, caring, but sexy and head strong. Jace was extremely supportive of Dixie and her dreams. I loved Jace’s “behind the scenes” charity work. I liked that he did things for others out of the kindness of his heart, not for praise. They were different, but perfect. While this is not the first novel in the series, you can read them in any order and not feel lost. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.
From the very beginning, I knew that this was going to be my favorite book by Melissa Foster. The Whiskey family had me laughing out loud, especially during the bachelor auction, and I absolutely loved Jace. He was perfect! His and Dixie’s story was special and I loved the ending.
The epitome of scorching hot sexy madness!
“You’re strong as leather and as delicate as lace.”
Jace and Dixie story is all I could ever wish for in the Whiskey’s series! The badass attitude, strong willed temper; sassy, sexy and mouthy Dixie is simply amazing! I fell in love with her brother Bullet in a previous book but nothing could compare to her! Jace and Dixie are so hot together that this book can’t be put down without reading it all the way thru! Dixie had her mind set on the older biker but she never in her wildest dream thought he would be half the men he is in real life. Jace made it, he’s successful but he never forgot where he came from and even thou he likes his independent lifestyle, he always make time for his family. He is more than a sexy strong powerful biker businessman and Dixie has yet to discover who he really is deep down. Jace is trying to hold back and not get too close to Dixie or make empty promises to his beautiful wild kitten but she definitely is a Whiskey and Jace is in for the ride of his life. He never wanted to be tied down; no woman ever made him fell weak until now. Whiskey Fever all the way! The Whiskey’s and the Dark Knight Brothers are in for the biggest surprise of their life and you can’t miss it! This is definitely a must read; if you’re new to Melissa Foster; hold on for a beautiful steamy ride!
When the man she’s crushed on for years corners Dixie Whiskey at her bar and asks her to be the face of his new line of clothing, she doesn’t even consider it. Why? Because she refuses to be the second or third choice, to be anything other than anyone’s first choice. All she wants is the kind of love her brothers have all found, the kind of love her parents, Biggs and Red, share. Is that honestly too much to ask?
It just might be too much, though, to ask of Jace, the man who doesn’t make promises, who refuses to settle down and plant some roots. Sigh… But Jace is having a really, really hard time getting Dixie out of his mind after they spend some time together. Can he man up and give her his heart? Even though it’s not something he’s ever wanted to do in the past? Even though her VERY PROTECTIVE, BIG AND BURLY brothers might pound him into dust for daring to mess with their baby sister?
Dang can I relate to Dixie! I don’t have more than one overprotective af brother, but one is enough, and he made dating and finding love very difficult for me. I had to find a guy literally hundreds of miles away Dixie, she’s a warrior queen, though, and she knew she deserved nothing but the best, nothing but to be loved and put first, and she made Jace (and her brothers too!) put in the work, and I absolutely LOVE that about her! Although I haven’t read any of the other stories in the Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor series, I fell in love with them all here, and am now looking forward to reading Quincy’s upcoming story, and all the previous ones.
Taming my whiskey is SEXY y’all!!! You seriously have to read this one. I mean Melissa Foster is an amazing writer, she really is. But, yeah, she even outdid herself with this one.
Jace, in my humble opinion, is sexier than every Dark Knights biker. He comes from a great, loving family. Yeah, he had one relationship that chewed him up and spit him out, but honestly that’s it. His bad@$$ness is just innate. He is a sexy grown ass man who is crazy about his woman and loves eating her for meals and snacks alike. Yes, sir! Please and thank you!
If you’ve been following the series, you know Dixie is one bad woman. She is even more impressive because she’s surrounded by strong protective men who make it nearly impossible for her to live her life on her terms. She is smart, beautiful, loving, community minded and all around fierce. She’s wanted Jace since she was 18 and he was 27. Years later, Dixie and Jace spend a few days in New York together and when Whiskey fever hits hard, Jace is thrown for a loop. The problem is he doesn’t know what to do next. Dixie doesn’t have that problem. She’s in love with him, no doubt about it, but she’s also not chasing after a man. Jace isn’t perfect, but man there are glimpses of perfection that leave Dixie, and we the reader, anticipating what it will look like when he finally gives in and gets his ducks in a row. Spoiler Alert: It looks SO GOOD!
Once you start reading you will not want to put it down. Fooling around with Dixie and Jace, I got one kid to school late and picked another one up late (thank God for aftercare). I just couldn’t put it down, it is that good. Enjoy friends… enjoy!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
After reading this passionate, heartwarming, and captivating pageturner I’m pretty sure I’ve got a case of Whiskey fever! I absolutely loved the wild ride Jace and Dixie took me on and even though I jumped in a bit late to this series I fell so hard for the whole Whiskey/Dark Knights family.
Growing up with three fiercely protective brothers and surrounded by an interesting mix of extended family that believed in taking care of their own Dixie Whiskey was bound to become the fierce and independent woman she was. I loved how sassy, confident, determined and headstrong she was and I enjoyed seeing all of her layers revealed. She was such an amazing character with the biggest heart that I couldn’t help but root for her from the first page until the last.
Jace Stone was successful, driven and believed in working hard to get just what he wanted. As much as he frustrated me at times I couldn’t help but swoon like a schoolgirl for him. When the sparks between Dixie and Jace ignited their chemistry was quite explosive and held me riveted as my emotions flew all over the place.
Taming My Whiskey was so much more than I anticipated. I loved the close knit Whiskey and Dark Knights family and the community of Peaceful Harbor. This fantastic introduction to their world has me eagerly looking forward to meeting the rest of this intriguing family and anticipating how their stories will play out. If you love sexy and emotional slowburns that’ll warm your heart then take a shot of Whiskey and prepare for one mesmerizing and unforgettable wild ride.
Dixie has had eyes for Jace for years, he thought she was too young for him but he definitely noticed her. When he needs her help, he find he has to work to win her over to get her to model for him. However, there’s her over protective brothers that need to be convinced too. More than anything, they want her to be happy and not get hurt. While Jace feels like he can’t commit even though she’s under his skin and he wants nothing more than to be with her. She wants more especially after seeing her big bad brothers all fall in love. There’s times as they work things out you want to yell at her or him and ask what in the world they are thinking and tell them to get their acts together. Of course there’s a HEA and the story is truly pretty HOT getting to that point! I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving my review.
I enjoyed this well-written, steamy book. Dixie doesn’t need a man to take care of her, though she’d like a shot at happily ever after. Jace needs a favor from Dixie, the only woman who has the power to take him to his knees. He’s determined to keep his walls in place and keep things strictly business. This was an entertaining book and I look forward to reading more books by this author.
Taming My Whiskey is book six in The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor series. Chemistry, passion, and emotions. All of these just oozed off the page. This is one of those stories you just cannot put down. Dixie and Jace’s story will continue to flood my mind. It’s unforgettable.
I have been craving Dixie Whiskey’s story since I first met her way back in Tru’s story. I was worried how this story would stack up, as you know how you can be disappointed when you have high expectations.
Ms Foster has definitely delivered with Taming My Whiskey.
I mean, I want to be her when I grow up! Strong, loving, and completely consistent when it comes to what – or who – she wants. I loved how she stood up to her family when needed, especially her brother Bullet.
And that’s Jace. Jace whom I had a love/hate relationship with as I read. Mostly I loved him, however there were times when he did/said things and I had a raging hate on for him. I hate how he made me (and the lovely Dixie) feel and wanted to smash him over the head with my Kindle lol. He a bit of an enigma wrapped in a riddle that one.
The push/pull between our lovelies keeps the tension ratcheted right up. You know what you want to happen, what needs to happen, however you never know if it is going to happen.
I loved seeing more of the Whiskey family, as well as the other families/characters that cross over into this one (though keeping my head around who is who at times had me scrambling!)
Ms Foster always leaves me smiling, and Taming My Whiskey is now up there at the top of my list of her favourite stories.
I can’t wait to see where we go next.
Jace Stone likes what he likes and makes no excuses. Dixie Whiskey has an offer that’s getting hard to refuse. It’s been a while since I’ve visited with the Whiskey’s and I think this gave me a little push to go back and revisit some of Dixie’s relatives.
This author always takes the time to develop all her characters and that includes the secondary ones too. And one who is definitely a character is Jace’s brother, Jared. I don’t think it was intentional but he had me thinking of Rob Gronkowski – they both have a big personality. She also makes you feel as if you are a part of the family. When the family gets together it’s like you’re catching up with them as well. Then when we meet the rest of Jace’s family, it’s like being a part of their gabfest.
What I liked about Dixie is that she’s a woman who can be stubborn when she wants to be and then turn around and be a vixen that taunts when she’s after someone. She just needs the right partner – one who can stand up against her brothers. One thing this author is always good at is creating plenty of heat between her main characters. And with Jace who can be a smooth talker when he wants to be just turns it up a little more. Something you’ll find if you’ve never picked up one of Ms. Foster’s books before is that once you pick it up you’re not going to want to put it back down. Once you’re finished getting to know Jace and Dixie you’ll understand why the ending was so perfect.
