Ryder Waites will do anything to keep the tiny town of Gallows Grove, Kentucky, from vanishing off the map - even sell his family's whiskey recipe to Bluegrass Bourbon in Lexington. Hopeful that the larger company can provide necessary improvements to the distillery, Ryder aims ultimately to get Gallows Grove on the Bourbon Trail...and bring in much-needed tourism revenue. But to keep producing Hanged Man Bourbon in Gallows Grove, he'll have to convince the company liaison, unbearably stuffy and seriously hot Adam Keller, that he's worth the investment.

Adam comes from an old-money family, but he's determined to make his own way in the world. When he's sent to Gallows Grove, he questions the life choices that led him to a rented room in a funeral home in a town full of macabre-themed businesses. And he doesn't know what to make of Ryder, the descendant of bootleggers, who's on a mission to save his strange town from extinction. When Adam and Ryder put aside their initial mistrust, the results are as smooth as good whiskey. But after Adam's assignment ends, he'll have to decide if small-town life and a future with Ryder are to his taste.

"A fast paced, fun, quirky story!"

Overall

Performance

Story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. It was such a fun read and its short enough to listen to in one sitting.

What other book might you compare Whiskey Business to and why?

Dumped In Oz by Andrew Grey. It also has the cutesy themes in the town, and one character is from the bigger city.

What about Kirt Graves’s performance did you like?

He has a smooth voice and i liked the performance.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved all the puns Ryder and Adam used and the names of the places in Gallows. It was a hoot to listen too. I wanted more!

Any additional comments?

I absolutely loved this story, from the quirky names of business in Gallows, to charming Ryder and stuffy Adam. It's a perfect blend of characters, location and plot.There is seriousness in Ryder trying to help his town and then the humor of the gallows related names and the puns the guys come up with in conversation. There is also just enough heat to make a good romance. This is why I love Avon Gale books!

Avon Gale wrote her first story at the age of seven, about a “Space Hat” hanging on a rack and waiting for that special person to come along and purchase it — even if it was a bit weirder than the other, more normal hats. Like all of Avon’s characters, the space hat did get its happily ever after — though she’s pretty sure it was with a unicorn. She likes to think her vocabulary has improved since then, but the theme of quirky people waiting for their perfect match is still one of her favorites. Avon grew up in the southern United States, and now lives with her very patient husband in a liberal midwestern college town. When she’s not writing, she’s either doing some kind of craft project that makes a huge mess, reading, watching horror movies, listening to music or yelling at her favorite hockey team to get it together, already. Avon is always up for a road trip, adores Kentucky bourbon, thinks nothing is as stress relieving as a good rock concert and will never say no to candy. At one point, Avon was the mayor of both Jazzercise and Lollicup on Foursquare. This tells you basically all you need to know about her as a person.
