What happens when the legend you love, becomes the man you hate? Camilla:Do I love Rhett Steele? Absolutely not. Do I like Rhett Steele? Not even close. Do I hate Rhett Steele? Yes. This is the man who destroyed my world, shattering my dreams the very first time I met him. It’s like he purposely pushes buttons I don’t even realize exist. I wouldn’t live with him if he were the last man on earth. … were the last man on earth. Then how did he end up being my newest most hated roommate?
Rhett:
My singing career is tanking, my fans are turning against me, and I’m told I need to clean up my image. I should have done it with America’s sweetheart on my arm. But what’s the fun in that? Instead, I turn to the woman who hates me more than anyone. I’ve already hit rock bottom, I can only go up from here, or so I thought.

Hook. Line. Sinker.
Emily Bowie’s newest book, Whiskey Moments, has something in common with her other books. The common thing? They grab you from the beginning and refuse to let you go. They are the classic example of the phrase, hook, line, and sinker.
Rhett and Camilla have a rocky history. I am talking very rocky, mountain rocky. Rhett is a good guy, however, when having to have the “bad boy” image there comes blurred lines. With those blurred lines, it causes a good guy to start becoming that “bad boy.” The price of being a bad boy is his image. Now his image is depleting, and he needs the help of someone, a woman, to restore it. The one-woman that comes to mind is someone he should not ask but does anyway. The woman, Camilla, has every right to say no to Rhett, only she doesn’t. Which stirs up the question, why?
Rhett and Camilla may have a rocky history, but their chemistry is off the charts. Ms. Bowie has delivered two strong characters with real-life flaws that make this enemy to lovers romance just the right temperature. There were many times when I thought Camilla could do much better than Rhett, but as the story unfolds, you see just how perfect they are together.
5 well deserved stars. I was anxiously waiting for this story and I loved it. It took me a few chapters to get into the story but once I did that was it, I just couldn’t stop reading. I loved the twists and turns throughout the story and the way the other books characters were brought in. A brilliant continuation of the series.
Whiskey Moments by Emily Bowie is a fantastic book! I have been waiting on Rhett Steele’s story since I started reading this series! Whiskey Moments is the 4th book in the Steele Family Series. Emily Bowie didn’t disappoint me at all with Whiskey Moments. It was definitely worth the wait! I couldn’t put this book down until I finished reading it!
In Whiskey Moments, we finally get the love story of Rhett Steele and Camilla Black. Rhett is a hot country music singer and Camilla is a reality star/ singer. The two meet when Camilla wins a singing competition that Rhett is judging. Rhett’s career is going down and he needs a new hit song. He gets the hit song at the expense of Camilla as he stole the song from her. Camilla has been feeling angry at Rhett since this happened early in her singing career. The pair has a love/hate relationship with each other. They come in contact again during the awards show. The chemistry between is hot and spontaneous.
Will Rhett be able to get over his writer’s block and write another hit song? Will Camilla get over her dislike of Rhett? Will Rhett and Camilla give in to their attraction? Will the pair get their happy ever after? You will have to read Whiskey Moments by Emily Bowie to find out!
Whiskey Moments had me laughing and crying while reading this book. This book has plenty of romance and steamy love scenes. It was also awesome catching up with the rest of the Steele family as well. Emily Bowie did a fantastic job of catching the reader up with the rest of the family.
Make sure you grab a copy of Whiskey Moments by Emily Bowie! You won’t be disappointed! I enjoyed reading the Steele Family Series.
I have loved this whole series, each book has been better than the last. This is no exception, it has heartbreak, very funny banter, and sexual tension so thick you can cut it with a knife. I loved every word of this book and Rhett and Camilla. I can’t wait for Emily’s next book, I love her writing.
“She peers up at me through her long, thick lashes, and those whisky eyes urge me to get drunk off of them. She feels it too. I watch as her eyes dilate, becoming darker, luring me in, making me believe I need a sip.”
WOW!!! This book was the ultimate swoon-fest of epic enemies to lovers and I inhaled it in one sitting. The chemistry between Rhett and Camilla was instantaneous, thick and heady like your favorite smell, and threw off sparks that would burn the whole world down. I was entertained to no end by their antics, their banter, and the fall was nothing short of pure magic. Rhett and Camilla were powerhouse country stars, but their realness and vulnerability was purely intoxicating. The whirlwind I was sucked in to from beginning to end was never dull, rife with twists and turns, and things I never saw coming. I loved every second, I couldn’t get enough, and I dare say this is my favorite book of the whole series. Definitely putting it on my Top Reads of the Year List!! An absolute MUST READ small town southern music romance!! Love, Love, Loved it!! I thank the Author for providing a copy to review!!

I received a complimentary ARC – early release copy of this book in Kindle format from the author for review purposes.
This is book 4 in a series but it does stand alone. I have not read any of the other books in the series and I was not lost at all in this book.
It stars Rhett Steele, who is a country singer with bad allergies and a thing for fellow country star, Camilla. They have a long and complicated hate history and this is a hate/love romance between two country western stars.
Rhett is broke and he does a lot of terrible things to Camilla so she is very justified in her hatred of him. Until he decides to move in and be pretend dating. If that sounds fun it absolutely is. There are lotsa hijinks in the road to love for these two.
It is a well written and fun story and while Rhett is a jerk, he is a lovable jerk. Camilla is a great characters and I loved her a lot, though I would have enjoyed seeing her parents and where she came from more to see who she really was.
I went into Whisky Moments not really knowing much about Rhett Steele, other than what was told in the previous books. He left the family farm, not on the best terms with his family to pursue his dreams in music. But he’s met his match with Camilla. Rhett and Camilla have a love/hate relationship, their banter was fun, and the one uping eachother made me laugh. The more they let their guards down, the more I liked them. I liked how the Steele family are in eachother books, and how you feel like you part of the family. I’m sad that this is the end of the series. If you like small town, family, drama, and abit of mystery then this ones for you.
I’m seriously ashamed that I read this MONTHS ago and never finished my review. Emily Bowie knows my thoughts but I didn’t jot them down for people who follow my reviews for things to read… sorry about that!! Anyways, Rhett is the black sheep of the family. He’s the only one not still living near the farm or in their home town. He’s out in the big city making a name for himself and driving Camilla, another singer but one with a reputation for working hard but sucking the game out of all the men in her life. Press is really cruel to the famous and we see some of that in Whisky Moments.
These two, I think they loved fighting with each other. Really, it was the only way to keep their mouths from doing what they really wanted… and all they wanted was to use those mouths on each other but no words. We didn’t know much about Rhett from the previous books. He was the mysterious one. He was really an interesting conundrum. He was gruff and rude, seemed to only care about himself but under that tough shell was a man that wanted what his siblings had all found. However, when it comes to the one female that has ever treated him like a regular man, he can’t seem to get out of his own way. He’s messed up from day one. He’s like a snowball going down hill… his mess just keeps getting bigger and bigger dragging everything within reach down with him. It’s funny, I started the first few chapters not really liking Camilla at first but she’s a strong woman that protects her heart and her secrets fiercely. These two definitely make for an entertaining enemies-to-lovers story.
“You are the most conceited, annoying, pretty boy, I have ever met. No wonder you have to blackmail me to be your girlfriend.”
Emily Bowie did a fantastic job developing a dynamic push and pull from Camilla and Rhett. I never knew if they were going to strangle each other or make out. I enjoyed the twists making this feel slightly suspenseful in places as well. But really, the love and sweetness had me all wrapped up in happiness! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next!
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.
This is the 4th book in this awesome series and is Rhett and Camilla’s story. Rhett’s career is on the rocks and he needs someone to help save it and redeem his image, so he chooses Camilla to help him. No spoilers; this is a must read, you will not be disappointed! This is a beautifully written story with explosive chemistry, witty banter, twists, heartbreak, and is an epic enemies / lovers love story, which had me totally intrigued and hooked throughout this addictive page turner, which I highly recommend for all.
This was an interesting book. I could positively say I did not like Rhett part way through this book. But Emily Bowie made you love him in the end.
I loved Rhett and Camilla together in the end. You could see they be a good couple if Rhett stopped being an idiot.
Emily Bowie did amazing job with this book, playing with your emotions.
Whisky Moments is book four in the Steele Family series. It can be read as a standalone. If you have read the previous ones you’ll know who Rhett is. I was really looking forward to Rhett’s story. He’s the Steele brother that ran off for fame and before this book we knew very little of him. In this one we get to learn all about Rhett. Rhett’s the little straight forward mixed with a bit of crazy. His career is on the ricks and he’s hoping Camilla can help him get it back on track. Camilla doesn’t like Rhett very much. These two have a love hate relationship. Their banter and interactions at times are funny. When they are not fighting each other, they have a connection and great chemistry.
So much love, Mandy @janise’s Jivin; Book Blog
Two sides of the same coin, one side you let people think that’s how you are, the other side you hide and only those who are closest to you see who you truly are. Rhett Steel is that man, a country singer with the persona of the country music bad boy, the other a small-town boy with a heart of gold. But when you have to portray the bad boy so much sometimes the lines get blurred and it takes a special kind of woman to get you on the path that she knows you to have while straightening you out.
Camilla Black is trying desperately to do the one thing she has always dreamed of and that is to make it in the music industry and become the star she knows she is. Except when she has a man she loves to hate she isn’t sure to love, hate, or forgive him and love him for what he has done to her all at the same time.
Can Rhett and Camilla figure out the path meant for them? Or will they let the other fall from grace?
Emily Bowie has fast become one of my new favorite authors and I have fallen in love with this series.

On amazon. Good reads. BookBub. And the book addicts
I love love love me a music man !! Whew. I have been waiting on Rhetts’s story. I just knew that I was going to love him !
He did not disappoint!
He may have made me swoon just a little !!
I absolutely loved this series and all the brothers !!
This is book 4 in the Steele family series, and unfortunately also the last one. I’m sad to see this family ‘go’. These books can be read as a stand-alone, but I’d advise to read them in order!
Rhett. The last one to fall in love. He was always a bit mysterious, as we didn’t get much intel on him. He’s a big country singer, and hasn’t been home in Three Rivers often.
He meets Camilla at a talent show years ago, before she made it big in the country world. There was always kind of a battle between these two. And while reading their story I was inwardly screaming at Rhett in between why he would do the things he did. He seriously needed to grow up in my opinion, which he thankfully did!
Loved this book as I did the whole series! If you’re into small town romances this series is it for you!
And with the scenes with certain side characters I’m sure we’ll hear from this family again!!!
Whisky Moments by Emily Bowie a five-star read that goes down like a well-aged single malt. This is number four in the Steel Family series and it feels like they have all lead to an amazing place, and what a story. Rhett Steel has always been the far away one, the Steel brother who ran away, the one who needed to grow up, even if he was the one who should be the most grown up, he has his own life and career, stood on his own two feet away from family but for some reason he was still a boy child at heart, saying that he was always there for his family. He was the Steel brother we knew least about and now we get our chance, and wow Rhett could serenade me any time, I would even lock my dog in the bathroom and that’s not something I say lightly as he is my baby, that being said I doubt I would get the chance as I suspect that Camilla is a better woman that I would ever be. Camilla is stronger than I think even she realises, her story is an honest one, even if she must use devious ways to keep it that way. I love the time that we get to spend in Three Rivers, but it was also nice getting to see Nashville in all its glory. I am sad that there are no more Steel brothers to hear from, but I am so glad that we are not done in Three Rivers yet and cousin Kiptyn is getting his turn. Emily Bowie’s writing is like a fine wine or whisky, smooth, strong, and tasty enough to make you forget everything but the moment you are in.
