Curt Bannerman never thought he’d have to follow through with a promise to ensure his best friend’s wife and children were taken care of in the event of Eric’s death after the two men retired from the Navy SEALs. But an assassin made the promise a reality. Eighteen months later he’s still keeping an eye on the family, however, somewhere along the line his feelings for the pretty widow have … changed.
Dana Prichard had been both a mother and a father for her children during her husband’s multiple deployments, but once Eric retired, she thought those days were over. Now she has to do it with no chance of him ever coming home again. While his SEAL teammates have been there for her since Eric’s death, one of them stands above the rest. The one man who is slowly invading her dreams.
They started as friends, but now, both want more. Can they move past the feelings that they are betraying a dead man by wanting each other? Or is Eric always going to stand between them?

Awesome
Another great book in the series. Even though the family has been through a tragedy, they eventually are able to find happiness an love.
I”ve only recently discovered Samantha’s books and I”m so glad I have. This was a very emotional book as it deals with Curt and Dana’s relationship from being friends to coming a couple. Written very well and very easy to just get sucked into. I love this and am eagerly waiting for the next book in this series!
Two different love stories without the normal high intensity drama of Trident Security.

Finding out that Shelby is undergoing chemotherapy all alone he puts his Dom foot down and tells her he will take care of her and that’s not-negotiable. When she finally confesses the reasons she’s been avoiding any entanglement with him, he assures her that she is all he needs and they’ll figure out the rest together.
In Whiskey Tribute, Curt Bannerman has fallen for his deceased best friend’s widow. Along with fellow members of SEAL Team Four Curt has been taking care of the Pritchard family since Eric’s death. Now more than 18 months later he wants more because he’s fallen for Dana. It takes a little time but Dana to realizes that she loves Kurt. Now can they together convince the children that they all need to become a family in order for everyone to be truly happy again.
Beautiful story with lots of heart-ache.

What do you do when you find yourself falling in love with your dead best friend’s widow? Curt Bannerman has been helping Dana after the death of her husband for almost 18 months and each time he visits he falls more in love with her and the children. But what would Eric think? Can Curt get past the idea of coveting his best friend’s wife? And what does Dana feel about Curt? Beautiful second chance romance with all the feels and emotions the reader expects from Samantha A. Cole and the Trident men.
I really love every single book of the Trident Security series .. each one is always full of surprises and amazing chemistry between the characters.. this one, Whiskey Tribute was not the exception .. i really love Curt and Dana .. Curt was always very caring and protective with Dana and her children… both characters were nice to read.. what i love about the story is that both of the characters took their time to embrace their feelings, with a few tissues on the way of coarse but worth every single tear to see Curt and Dana finally embracing their love.. i like that, a lot of the characters from the other Trident Security Team are recurrent like the other books on the series.. so we get to laugh and cry when they remember Eric.. (i just imagine the amount of sexiness and testosterone in that reunion) but the best laugh of the story was the uncle Curtsy nickname Amanda gave Curt lol.. what can i say, this series is getting better and better… the plot is getting more twisted and more crazy and more amazing!!! i can’t wait for more.
Short read but so full of emotions. Losing a husband, father, best friend, team mate brings the tears.
A very important part of the Trident Security series so you don’t want to skip this novella.
