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?

Once again Whiskey Fever takes hold in Dixie and Jace’s story!
I’ve been eager for Dixie Whiskey’s story ever since meeting her in Tru Blue, and with each of her brother’s finding their happy ever after, my interest in this dynamic character grew.
Dixie Whiskey personifies strength. She’s intelligent, independent, fierce, drive, determined and capable. When she sets her mind to something, nothing will get in her way. She’s incredibly loving and liya and will do anything for those she holds near and dear. Dixie won’t accept anything less that the love she’s seen her parents and siblings find.
Jace is a confident, successful, artistic and loving alpha, who isn’t shy when it comes to sharing his views on love and commitment.
Dixie and Jace’s story is a passionate, sexy and emotional story full of twists and turns.
With plenty of cameos from past characters and a few new one’s who’s stories I look forward to reading, Melissa Foster has crafted another engaging and entertaining read.
I will be eagerly awaiting her next release!
When Leather and Lace meets Stone a Swoon Worthy Romance enfolds
This book has it all: strong Heroine with equally strong Hero, hot steamy sex and a love story that will make you swoon. Dixie is the strongest woman I have ever read in a romance book. Jace is her perfect match and there are bumps along the way in their story but their love was meant to be. I felt privileged to watch as their story enfolded. As usual, we see glimpses of previous characters we’ve met in previous books and get a chance to catch up in their lives. We also get an opportunity to meet people who we will be reading about in the future. Melissa Foster writes stories about people that I’d love to know and places I’d love to live. Take a chance on this book; you won’t be sorry.
Jace was creating a calendar to coincide with the opening of his female clothing line and. Since the model he has had to step down due to an injury. Jace had to now searching for a model to represent his brand. His friend and clothing line partner suggested Dixie. Jace didn’t know she had done modeling before. Jace is now in a mission to win Dixie over. Jace bid $40k at a charity auction for a date with Dixie. He was determined to convince her to be the face of the brand. To spite her brothers, Dixie agreed.
Since we were first introduced to Dixie, i couldn’t wait for her story. I knew it would be good. Melissa did not disappoint. Dixie is a strong, kick a-s woman who has a very sensitive side to her. We didnt really see that until this story.
Taming My Whiskey by Melissa Foster is the 6th book in The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor Series. This is the story of Dixie Whiskey and Jace Stone. I have read (and Loved!) the previous book but feel you could make it a standalone book if you wanted but I do think I enjoyed this one more because I have read the previous book. Dixie is somewhat of the princess of the Dark Knights Motorcycle club where her over protective family keeps in in line and protected. Dixie has seen her brothers find their happy ever after and is envious even if she is strong and can be self dependent. But there has always been one man that she could see more with but he isn’t willing it seems. Jace knows that being close to Dixie could bring him to acknowledge how he really feels for her but he trying to fight it one look at a time. But he needs her to help him with his Silver-Stone Cycles business…but she isn’t going for it.
This was a fun, hot page turning read. Loved it.
We have Dixie Whiskey’s story and I could not be happier. I loved this book! Melissa Foster has written a story that’s equal part sexy and tender. I’m obsessed with the family dynamics and the loyalty throughout. With an added element of forbidden and unrequited love. Ah! It’s so good!!
Dixie has been the one character that intrigued me the most since the first time I dove into the Whiskey world. I’ve wanted her story for what feels like forever. I’ve always enjoyed her sass and her spitfire attitude and we get that in Taming My Whiskey. However, I loved that she showed some vulnerability. It made her more relatable and open. I’m so glad we see her stand up to her protective older brothers and take her life back.
Jase was all driven, alpha goodness. A business focused self made man, he didn’t stay or settled in one place for long. He didn’t do relationships. But with Dix you see more of a softness and so much care. There were times where I was frustrated with him but that only because I loved them together.
It took a minute for me to get into the story. This seems to happen everytime I read a Melissa Foster book. There are just so many character to keep track of including some crossovers from other series I haven’t read yet. I find myself stopping and researching trying to find out who these characters are delaying my reading experience.
If you’re looking for a fun yet surprisingly emotional romance with explosive character chemistry. You need this. It’s always a joy to revisit the Whiskey world!!
Well, this was hot.
We have Dixie and Jace, they’ve known each other for years and Dixie’s had a crush on Jace for that time, but he’s never shown any interest in her… until now.
I loved Dixie and her super kickass independent spirit, she sounded like an awesome and fun friend. And even though the was fierce, I loved how she showed her more vulnerable side, particularly around Jace.
Jace sure knew what he wanted, and went for it. I liked his determined side and how much confidence he had in Dixie. He didn’t see her as just a pretty girl, he saw her as the fierce woman she really was.
Loved these two together and how powerful they were when they joined forces. I also loved them in their more intimate moments, when they were just Dixie and Jace.
There were swoons and hot times and more! Fun addition to the series.
*Thank you to the author for providing a copy for which I’m giving my honest opinion*
Holy smokes, what a story!! I’m so in love with Jace and Dixie!! They are perfect for each other!
Jace is a biker, rich, and owns multiple businesses. He’s starting of a line of clothing for women and the model that he chose got hurt, so he wants Dixie to be that model. However, she’s not interested because she’s no ones sloppy seconds. But, Jace wanted her from the beginning he just couldn’t tell her that. She has big, burly brothers that scare every man away from her, but Jace is up to the challenge!
Dixie runs a biker bar with her brothers, and because she has brothers she takes no bull off any man. She’s had a crush of Jace since she was younger, but he wasn’t interested in her…until now. But, is he or does he just want something from her? She’s definitely going to give him a run for his money because one thing Dixie isn’t is EASY! But, what happens when she’s in a charity auction and auctions off her self and the bidder/winner is someone she’ll have a hard time saying no to….until her brothers step in and make a scene. She’s in true Dixie form because she’s going to do whatever she wants!!
Great story! Loved the characters (and there were a bunch of them). Dixie and Jace (and Jared) had me captivated from the beginning!
Dixie is a strong woman and won’t settle for less than what she’s worth. She has always wanted Jace but he isn’t the settling down type. Jace has a new line he wants Dixie to help him promote. Will he be able to realize that Dixie is the woman for him? The banter and sexual tension between this couple kept me on the edge to find out what happened with them. A good read.
I FLOVED Jace & Dixie!!! Their chemistry was SO. DANG. HOT. Besides the insane chemistry, I really enjoyed the emotional journey that I went on with these two! The story was such a page turner and I didn’t want to put the book down! FIVE STARS!
Bring the Whiskey fever! In Dixie’s story, she might not believe in fairy tales and having three overbearing brothers to protect her was already enough but what about a determined man who was chasing her?
Definitely tempting but no one has ever succeeded to do that but Jace Stone? That man was sinfully hot, cocky and confident in his own skin but never settling down. Married to his job like Dixie was.
These two had known each other for years but never acting on their chemistry. Until they teamed up and finally realized that there were more than they were letting on. But with a commitment phobe man and a woman who didn’t want to be tamed but wanting the real deal, it was a recipe for disaster, and probably ending in heartbreak.
I love Melissa Foster’s brave and fierce heroine. Dixie was trying to live her life in her terms and not behind her brothers’ shadows. She could handle herself for sure, as a successful business woman and badass and confident. Family was important to her and once you got with a Whiskey you definitely marry all the family.
Jace Stone has been distracted from work like ever. Until a feisty red haired woman with a mouthful personality and who did my give a damn about what people think consumed his thoughts. Like no one else. I adored the alpha vibes and it was kinda entertaining to see that man under Dixie’s spell, but also so confused about his true feelings.
They were so right for each other but no really willing to give their hearts and letting go. Actions speak louder than words and these two were the perfect example. The characters were fierce, caring and true to themselves. It was all or nothing and I adored this slow burn and sensual dance that progressively turned into the real deal.
Damn my heart… Dixie and Jace frustrated the hell out of me but it was worth the journey!!
A story that took slowly its time to find a way into my heart. I didn’t think I would be so moved by their story, I’ve been swept off my feet. Literally.
Passionate, caring and heartwarming with a strong hint of smoking hot slow burn romance that definitely melt my heart. Dixie was just my hero here. A strong woman who has found her match and no settling for less. Just for true love and never letting go. Once you’ve got a shot of Whiskey, you will want more for sure. The author created such a wonderful world with the whiskey and The Dark Nights.
I have a book hangover and I can’t wait to read more!
This is the much anticipated story of Dixie Whiskey and Jace Stone.
It takes a strong, sexy alpha man to win and hold the heart of the Dark Knights motorcycle club princess Dixie Whiskey. Is Jace Stone that man or is she wasting time wishing for something that can never be?
Sassy, sexy, strong and stunning biker chick Dixie wants what her brothers have – their happily ever after, but the only man she’s ever truly wanted has been off-limits forever.
Co-owner of Silver-Stone Cycles, Jace Stone is a man’s man and a man any woman would want, but Jace has sworn off relationships and the open road is what he knows.
Jace and Dixie have known each other since she was a teenager. Taken by her feistiness and incomparable beauty and brains, he forced himself to put her in the permanently “off-limits” zone due to their age difference and the fact that she is a “forever” girl, not someone meant for flings or hookups. Still, over the years she stays on his mind and unknowingly burrows in his heart so when he needs someone to be the face of his new clothing line and motorcycles, no one else will do but Dixie, who promptly turns him down flat. But Jace isn’t prepared to give up and does what it takes to convince Dixie otherwise.
Dixie is courageous and rebellious in her bid for independence from her overprotective family and surprises her brothers in a most unique way. For his part, Jace is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with anyone, including Dixie’s uber protective brothers.
Jace never mixes business with pleasure, a rule he’s always lived by, but will Dixie’s sass, beauty and intellect prove too much for Jace? He’s drawn to her in ways he knows spells trouble, but can’t seem to resist, and Jace finds out Whiskey fever really does exist. As he fights his feelings and Dixie pretends to be okay with a short-term relationship, you become invested as they navigate the rocky road that lies before them.
Of course the Whiskey family is front and center as well as Jace’s family. These families are the kind you want to be a part of, welcoming and accepting, while loving and protecting.
This book packs a punch in all the right ways. Tender moments, witty banter, sizzling passion and potential heartache, you get it all. Dixie’s soft heart and beautiful spirit will win you over and Jace’s flux of emotions makes you want to smack him upside the head at times. It is a stand alone book, but to get the full impact I strongly urge you to read the series. Five stars is not enough!
I have been waiting through this entire series for this book! Dixie is such an incredibly strong and independent character and to see her get her HEA was amazing. Jace, a stong character as well was well written and together this couple has chemistry that is off of the charts. I enjoyed watching Dixie show her family that she is a strong person that does not need the constant hovering and ‘protecting’ from her brothers. I continue to enjoy the strong sense of family that both characters have and I also continue to enjoy the return of the characters from the previous books as well. I enjoyed this book from page one and I would recommend it to others.
Taming My Whiskey is my first exposure to the world of Whiskeys and Melissa Foster’s work. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about Dixie Whiskey, especially her personality, and Jace Stone is an alpha dream! I’d love to get to know the other Whiskeys and hear their stories.
I LOVE Dixie Whiskey. She is the type of woman that young girls should strive to be. She is strong, intelligent and puts up with no cr@p from anyone. Jace is all business all the time, but there is another side to him that he does not show to most people. He is also giving and wants to see the younger generation succeed. He was given a chance and he wants to pay it forward. This is such a rare occurrence these days, it was refreshing to see.
Dix and Jace are like oil and water. They’ve been skirting their attraction for years, but times have changed. Will Jace break her heart or will his priorities change? Can Dixie prevent her brothers from killing him before they figure this out?
5 stars
Taming My Whiskey was EVERYTHING. I’ve always liked Melissa Foster’s books but she gave me serious Whiskey fever in this one. While all books in the series can be read as standalones, you don’t want to miss out on the Whiskey magic!
Growing up in the shadow of her fiercely protective father and brothers was a blessing and a curse for Dixie. Instead of shrinking and hiding behind them, she came out fighting and shining. The only problem with being that fierce is finding someone capable of holding their own. Watching her parents and then her brothers find their forever loves awakes that need in Dixie but there’s only ever been one man who captured her heart and claimed her attention.
Jace Stone is a self made man who answers to no one. He’s tough and all man but what most don’t know is how tender he is as well. He’s an awesome brother and uncle, a fantastic businessman, a badass biker and a genius in the bedroom. He’s avoided Dixie Whiskey since she was 18, when she blew him away at their first meeting but she’s never been far from his mind, even using her as the muse for his newest business venture. Now he must convince her, he’s worth the risk!
These two were FIRE the whole book. I had a whiskey addiction after my first taste and it kept me up reading all night! Dixie is a wild, take no shit, no-holds-barred chick and Jace is all growly, sexy, uber alpha deliciousness and when they finally get together, it’s dynamite! Can’t wait for more!
AnnMarie – Alphas Do It Better Book Blog
WOW, I knew going in that this was going to be a great read but I wasn’t prepared for the rawness of both Jace and Dixie’s feelings and it totally blew me away.
I’ve been a fan of Melissa Foster’s for a few years now ever since I read Sisters in Love , my first book of hers back in December of 2013, and fell in love with the way she pulled me into her stories and made me feel as if I was a part of them. Now here we are years later and she is still performing the same magic, and this time with Jace and Dixie she not only delivered a great story she delivered hope for everyone that ever held out that one day their crush would be their one true love.
Dixie met Jace at a bike rally when she was just 18 years old and she fell hard for him at first sight. Dixie is what some might call a “Tough Chick” or a “Tough Broad” but she does have her weaknesses as well only she doesn’t let anyone see them, she’s a Whiskey after all and she needs to be as strong as her brothers. Well, Jace loves the way Dixie is smart mouth and all and has no plans on changing that but none of that matters since he’s not a forever type of guy. He has no intentions of settling down because he has his business to run which takes up all of his time.
I need to hit on a couple of things, first off the cover of this book is absolutely how Dixie and Jace are described, I don’t know if Melissa Foster based the characters around the pictures of the models or she found the absolute perfect models for Jace and Dixie but either way, what you see is what you get and THANK YOU for that because its becoming a rarity that the characters in the story look anything like the cover models lately. Secondly I have to say that not only is Jace an absolute dreamy Alpha Male but Dixie has to be one of the strongest women if not the strongest that I have ever had the pleasure of reading about. She doesn’t take crap from anyone, she’s full of spunk, hot as heck, and she knows what she wants and wont settle for less. LOVE HER!
I am not giving any of the story away because it is something you need to experience yourself. I would suggest you have a tall glass of ice water nearby to help with cooling off, and maybe a few tissues handy.
I always recommend Melissa Foster’s books and this one is no different, each book can be read as a standalone so what are you waiting for go grab your copy and see why I’m such a huge fan.
Happy Reading!!!
Dixie Whiskey and Jace Stone give you a wild ride. Love, laughter and tears. Get ready for the best ride ever cheer them on, yell at them and cry your heart out. As always end up with happy ever after.
Honesty, integrity, and intensity! Hot, alpha, stubborn! All great adjectives to describe the story and characters in the story. I’m not personally familiar with the biker world, but would welcome this family into the small town where I live. They may ride bikes and have a slightly different code than my family, but family honor and respect are the same. The community involvement and businesses they own in the community help provide for a better quality of life for the whole community. Jace and Dixie know what they want and are finally (10 years in the waiting) going after what they want. Keeping what they want is questionable, they may not be on the same page. Communication or rather a lack of clear communication seems to cause unnecessary heartache. Reading their story was a little like riding a rollercoaster forward, backward, and sometimes in slow motion. All the while, anticipating and thrilling to watch. My first read of the series, and I can’t wait to read the other stories of this series.
***5 ‘You Wreck Me’ Stars***
Yaaassss!
I’ve been dying to know which male would be man enough to win Dixie’s heart from the first moment I met the spitfire in Truly, Madly, Whiskey and all the following books in the series did was kick that need up exponentially. So, I had high expectations for this baby when this baby was announced and this book gave me everything I wanted and so much more. The feels this one brought out were real and I simply fell further in adoration with Whiskey clan and those they call their own.
Ok. I adore Dixie. No surprise there. The woman is a true force of nature. Of course she has to be considering who her brothers are. She’s all kinds of sassy, sweet and has a truly genuine and compassionate heart that extends a lot further than many ever know. I loved that while she owns everything she is, she still has her own insecurities and wasn’t afraid to lean on others when she felt fragile.
Jace. OMG This man. No doubt, I adored him. He has his walls, big ones, but has such a good heart it’s hard to NOT fall for him ~ even when I wanted to take a 2×4 and knock some sense into him. He is all kinds of protective, determined alpha AF male and smexy as sin.
Their journey to their HEA was a fun one. Bumpy. But all kinds of fun as they both got under each other’s guards and wormed their way into each other’s hearts. The bantering was on point. The smexy was HAWT and I loved watching as they got to truly know who the other was at their very core. The bumps in the road were not unexpected, considering just how strong their personalities were and their views on how they saw their futures, but I did tend to be more #TeamDixie than Jace, it was hard not to be. But I loved how they worked through everything and where they were at in the end.
Taming My Whiskey is a great addition to the series. I got my fill of the Whiskey clan as a whole and got to meet their Wicked cousins and I cannot wait to get my hands on their books! I’m also happy that this isn’t the last we’ll be seeing of the Whiskey’s and that there are more books coming from this world!
Note: This can be read as a standalone, but to get the full impact of how close the Whiskey’s are, I highly suggest you start with Tru Blue. I promise, you won’t regret it!
~ Copy provided by the author & voluntarily reviewed ~
I’ve been waiting in Dixie Whiskey’s book for what has felt like forever, so when I received a copy I was ridiculously excited! I’ve always wondered who in the Whiskey world would be man enough and tough enough to take on a storm like Dixie!
Being the only girl out of four children, Dixie has always been determined to stand up for herself, and prove to anyone and everyone, that anything her brothers could do, she could also achieve. She also has determination to strive for anything she wants, and is driven and a real go getter.
What I’ve always loved about Dixie, is that she is totally badass, she takes no crap from anyone and has a sassy mouth that you can’t help but love and laugh at. You always assume she’s comfortable in her own skin, but in this book you learn the many layers of Dixie Lee, and that behind the leather, lace and tattoos she’s a woman with a big heart who is hopeful to find someone to love.
From what we’ve learnt in previous books, ‘when a Whiskey gives their heart away, they don’t ever get them back’, and I absolutely adored Jace and Dixie’s romance.
Jace Stone is a businessman, he designs motorbikes and has always held Dixie in high regard. He has admired her from afar, initially knowing she was perhaps too young for him, but eventually you learn his real intentions.
He is strong, driven and he is not afraid to give everything he’s got in order to get what he wants. So when he pegs Dixie as the model in his mind for his new Leather and Lace range, he cannot be deterred. He throws all he’s got into attempting to get her to agree to starring in a calendar.
Much to the Whiskey brother’s discontent, Jace is not afraid to stand up for his ideas and for Dixie. He understands her brothers need to protect, but also is not afraid to show his alpha side, which you completely respect.
The thing I love the most about Jace is he’s not perfect, he’s been used to putting himself first, so initially he struggles to incorporate Dixie in his life. But the one thing he’s always known, is that he needs her in some capacity. Their chemistry is on fire, and this book had me feeling all highs and lows.
When Dixie feels hurt and heartbroken, you can’t help but cry with her, but when Jace heals her heart and makes things right, you can’t help but love him also for who he is!
As per all of Foster’s books, I was excited to catch up with my other fave Whiskey’s, revelling in all of their happily ever after.
This book is an amazing addition to the Whiskey series, but can also be read as a stand-alone. It is the perfect read for all hot romance lovers, and someone wanting to become completely immersed in a series. Thoroughly entertaining read.
My fave quote from this book has to be “Fate is not to be f***** with. That bitch blows into your life at full speed, rides right up to you so you can smell her power, and then she lets you know who is in charge by leaving you to wonder if you’ll ever feel whole again.”
