📖 BOOK REVIEW 📖
🥃 Rumours & Wh***ey — Victoria Wilder
Okay, this one had everything—small-town gossip, complicated family secrets, murder, wh***ey and one dangerously tempting man who did not understand the meaning of “keep your distance.”
It took me a little while to settle into the story because there were quite a few characters and moving parts, but once I worked out who was who, I was hooked. I loved the strong women, the messy family dynamics and the mix of romance and suspense that had me suspicious of absolutely everyone.
Messy, spicy and just dark enough to keep me turning the pages. It wasn’t quite a five-star read for me, but it was such a fun start to the Wh***ey Women series—and I’ll definitely be reading the next one.
