5By Michelle PierceIâve definitely been looking forward to this book since we met Crystal Moon and Bear Whiskey in Tru Blue. I loved Crystalâs character but had a feeling she was hiding something, and we find out so much about what makes her who she is and itâs heartbreaking. Bear has been into Crystal for a while now and while theyâre friends and flirting up a storm, Crystal is nowhere near ready for a relationship with Bear and underneath Bear has an idea of something being up with her but doesnât know what. I loved when they went out and shared the milk shake and fries, that was flirtation at itâs best. Unfortunately, things come to a head and Bear thinks he has lost Crystal. She ultimately texts him to say sheâs needed some time and is in a meeting but Bear being Bear just heads over to where she is and ends up meeting a friend of hers who has been helping Crystal deal with recent events and her feelings for Bear. Crystal finally tells Bear about her past and that she is most definitely into him but sheâs not ready for full speed ahead just yet. I totally loved and appreciated how Bear was so respectful and supportive of her and how he asked permission instead of just taking, which was huge for him. I liked being there to watch them test the waters of being more than friends and also seeing Crystal come more into her own especially after sharing her past with Bear and also with Gemma, her business partner, since she hadnât been truthful with her either. Just when everything seems to be coming together for the two of them, she runs into her past and what started her downward spiral years earlier. However, this Crystal, with the support of Bear and his family and her friends, is stronger and is willing to make sure the person pays for what he did to her years ago. The ending with the event and everyone was so perfect and the way they couldnât hide their feelings any longer and kind of hijacked (in a good way) the event, and everyone was happy with the outcome. Great book.Such a Fun Read
5By Leisurely HustlingTruly, Madly, Whiskey is such a fun read. Crystal is such a sassy heroine and Bear is such an alpha male with a sweet heart. Especially for Crystal. The banter is off the charts and Bear and Crystal are so perfect for each other. Definitely a must read.Hard Ride to Forever
5By LKKtechieBear Whiskey believes in family and fiercely protecting those he loves. His eyes are set on the feisty and beautiful Crystal Moon. If you love strong heroes and heroines then you will love Truly, Madly Whiskey by Melissa Foster. *****An amazing addition to a awesome collection
5By Deb SchwartzItâs time for some Sunshine and Whiskey⊠Bear aka Robert Whiskey comes off as a powerful alpha, but he has a heart of gold for the ones he loves. Bear had from the beginning knew that Crystal Moon was his; now all he had to do is convince the fiery tempered woman. Bear has some heavy decisions to make torn between family and his first love will he make the right decisions? Crystal Moon is as tough as she wants others to see, but there is a part of her that will never forget her past , but she is determined to try. After her fathers death Crystal struck out on her own. The only bright days were when she was working with Gemma creating or with Bear, but she would never tell him that. From the first time I met Bear and Crystal their chemistry floated off the pages what I didnât expect was the rawness of their emotions, it ran deep and oh so powerful. There was not one moment I did not enjoy their witty and often funny banter. They cracked me up. Then as I have said there is the serious side too both characters, the heart of them if you will. Bear loves his family and Crystal deeply. He is battling within himself. Crystal struggles with the story of her past and dealing with her not so nice mother. Could she trust the people who matter the most to her with her secret? I on occasion find a song that matches a certain book. My song for Crystal is without a doubt, Lauren Daigleâs song You Say it captures the true meaning of what she is learning of what is inside her. The supporting characters are from book #1 âTru Blueâ Tru, Jemma, the Whiskeyâs and Link, Kennedy (Truâs siblings). All making a wonderful appearance. Added to them is Jed(Crystalâs brother) and Crystalâs Mom even though I took a dislike to her I know she is who drove Crystal to be a better person, nothing like her mom. The plot is penned by the amazing talents of Melissa Foster that we come to enjoy. When you think of romances with hot sexy alphas, with strong powerful heroines, with scenes that will scorch you as well as melt you from the inside out you will think of Melissa Fosterâs book Truly, Madly, Whiskey. The narration was engaging and the characters were distinct. I enjoyed Paul Woodson who quickly drew me into the book and made me feel as though I was one of the characters. If you enjoy listening to audio books and want a fun, sexy read with an emotional pull, then pick up a copy of Truly, Madly, Whiskey, written by Melissa Foster and narrated by Paul Woodson. I am off to book #3 in the Whiskey Series. Rated 5 Stilettos and a Recommended Read by Deb!Journey to forever
5By Amy L mommaWhat a wonderful journey in Bear and Crystal finding their HEA. Crystal is hiding from her past and trying to be who she is not. Bear knows the minute he sees her that she is the one. He is a patient man waiting for Crystal to come around to his way of thinking. Thankfully Crystal finally gets help so she can overcome her past and truly find peace with her past.

5By FMDiamantOne wouldnât think a big bad biker with the name of Bear would be such a softie â a teddy bear â but that is exactly what you have in this book. Bear Whiskey comes from a large family with deep ties to a motorcycle club. He might be intimidating to some but his heart melts for Crystal Moon and he has been stealthily courting her for 8 months until he finally makes his move. Crystal puts on a tough act â even her best friend doesnât know that she makes up the guys and the dates she says she goes on. Crystal had a tough time growing up which culminated in a horrific experience in college that sent her fleeing and avoiding relationships. However, she trusts Bear and slowly allows him into her heart and trusts him with her secrets. Bear has to learn that he canât protect everyone he loves from experiences in the past. Together they are an amazing couple and I loved reading about them. I canât wait to read about the rest of the Whiskey siblings!Loved Crystal and Bear
5By Amanda03145 great big HUGE stars for Bear and Crystal's fantastic story by Melissa Foster! This story was FREAKING GREAT! Crystal has been interested in Bear Whiskey for MONTHS, and he has never hidden his attraction to her, even though she has always kept him at an arms length. She has a difficult past, one that I would never wish on anyone to endure, but Bear continuously shows her that he can help her be strong every single day they are together. This book was an absolute joy to read, and a great addition to the series!A great Whiskey family story

5By ajmeyer17Bear is sexy, loyal and not afraid to show his feelings. He's flirted endlessly with Crystal for months but she's kept him at arms length. Once her walls begin to crumble, she no longer fights her attraction and they begin to build something special. The chemistry between these two is off the charts. I really enjoyed it!Truly, Madly Love this Book!!!
5By DenaDonnatelliBear Whiskey, aka Biker Boy, is a gentle giant of a man with a huge heart, whose biggest fault is putting himself last. He sacrificed going to college to take over the family owned bar and garage when his father was ill and never resented it. There is so much depth to him from designing motorcycles to the way he chose the flowers he gave Crystal Moon and the meaning behind them, to the way he's putty in Kennedy and Lincoln's little hands! Crystal Moon is a a beautiful, yet vulnerable young woman with a seriously sad past. Acting tough and sassy is part of her coping mechanism. Not even her bestie Gemma knows all and that causes Crystal no small amount of guilt. Bear proved he was a patient man waiting eight months for Crystal and is determined to take their friendship to the next level. You witness how wonderful the whole Whiskey family really is and see how they use the motorcycle club to imbue confidence in those that are bullied as well as intimidating bullies as an added side benefit. We see more of Tru and Gemma from Tru Blue as they plan their wedding and of course Kennedy and Lincoln (I cannot get enough of that sweet little family!). Personal issues, past and present family drama, mutual trust, as well as facing their fears together make this a worthy read. Factor in the heat these two generate, the patience and understanding from Bear and the trust Crystal has in him, then add in the sweet interaction of Bear and Crystal with "their girl" Harley and you'll be wishing there was just one more chapter! I don't know how Melissa Foster does it, but it's another hit out of the ballpark!Bear your soul
4By SpainsmataI have been looking forward to this book since the end of Tru Blue. Bear and Crystal have amazing chemistry. It sizzles off the page. Bear works hard to be present in Crystal's life while she is being standoffish. Bear wears his heart in his sleeve and Crystal has been through so much in her young life. Crystal finally lets Bear in. While he had a hard time just excepting what she has to tell him, it does in the long run make them longer. I did feel at times that this book dragged more than most of Melissa's book which is why I gave it a 4 star rating. I don't want to give away any spoilers, so you will have to read to see if they are able to over come some very tough times. Also updates on Tru, Gemma, and the kids. Also with some new players who I'm sure will play into Bullets, Bones and Dixie's books.I want my own Bear...*swoons*
5By CntrygirlzCrystal is a clothing designer and works for her best friend Gemma at PRINCESS FOR A DAY Boutique. She has a rough exterior but a soft side she hides. Her childhood was the best and it didn't get much better during college. Bear is motorcycle designer, bartender, and mechanic plus a member of the Dark Knights MC. He has a job offer from a prestigious motorcycle shop, where he'll be able to design his own bikes. He just has to break it to his father. After chasing Crystal for eight months, she finally gives him a chance. But first she must tell him her secrets and Bear being Bear was sweet, gentle, and supportive. It takes awhile for Crystal to be intimate with Bear but he's patient and totally in love with her. I loved this story. Overprotective Bear, a slightly ,not really damaged but scared, biker chick, friends, family, and secrets revealed. Bear is the perfect boyfriend. I would take him in a heartbeat, if I wasn't married đ. Can't wait to read all the Whiskey books.Love it
