I freaking loved this story！ Oh these Blaze brothers are as delicious as that cinnamon blaze cake sounds。 However， I’m pretty sure that Ford is the yummiest of them all。 This single dad has waited a long time on the sidelines for what he’s wanted so it’s past time to jump in the game。 Loved it！！。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

This was such a beautiful read。 I loved how they do have feelings for one another but won’t act on it。 She feels like she isn’t enough and wants to care for her sister still even though she is married。 I enjoyed how it all comes together in the end

4。75 - 5 stars。Oh my did Ford know what he wanted！ His certainty in that he and Lilian were meant to be was so good to read， he had no qualms about showing who he was and what he wanted。 I just loved seeing these two come together and how they navigated the difficulties that they faced。 The text messages between the brothers made me smile， I cannot wait to read more from this series。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。

Absolutely adored Ford and Lilian’s story！ We met them both （more so Ford） in Ford’s brothers book Reluctant Husband。 This book has so many of my favorite tropes！ Single dad ✔️ Boss/employee ✔️Small town romance ✔️Age gap ✔️Alpha Hero ✔️Lilian was hired to be Ford’s assistant two years ago。 And Ford has been attracted to her and wanted her since the day he hired her。 But he has kept his feeling in check because he didn’t want to make her uncomfortable and he knew that she wasn’t dating。 Now that Absolutely adored Ford and Lilian’s story！ We met them both （more so Ford） in Ford’s brothers book Reluctant Husband。 This book has so many of my favorite tropes！ Single dad ✔️ Boss/employee ✔️Small town romance ✔️Age gap ✔️Alpha Hero ✔️Lilian was hired to be Ford’s assistant two years ago。 And Ford has been attracted to her and wanted her since the day he hired her。 But he has kept his feeling in check because he didn’t want to make her uncomfortable and he knew that she wasn’t dating。 Now that Lilian has some new found freedom in her life， she has decided to start dating。 And Ford is right there offering himself up。 But does Ford come with too many strings when Lilian just wants to date around？ Both these characters and their push and pull was so realistic。 You can tell how in love Ford was and how much Lilian wanted him back， but was just being resistant to change。 I loved that they both got their HEA！ Looking forward to Ford’s brothers getting their stories next！ 。。。more

Ford might have had a valid reason for being grumpy， he just needed Lillian to open her eyes and heart。 I did want Lillian to be a bit more decisive in her hopes and dreams。 Together Ford and Lily （happily joined by Ollie） made it work。 Excited for the next installment。

Something Real is everything I love about romance rolled into one。 The spice is hot， the angst is heart-wrenching， and the love is all consuming。 Honestly， I think this might be Hope Ford’s best book yet！ You can feel how much Ford and Lily have longed for one another over the past two years， and the build-up to them getting together is a sweet， slow-burn that lights the pages on fire when it does finally happen。 I really admired Lily’s dedication to her younger sister， as well as the way she op Something Real is everything I love about romance rolled into one。 The spice is hot， the angst is heart-wrenching， and the love is all consuming。 Honestly， I think this might be Hope Ford’s best book yet！ You can feel how much Ford and Lily have longed for one another over the past two years， and the build-up to them getting together is a sweet， slow-burn that lights the pages on fire when it does finally happen。 I really admired Lily’s dedication to her younger sister， as well as the way she openly cares for everyone around her。 She already has a great friendship with her boss， Ford， as well as a super cute bond with his son， which really solidified the love between them。 The way she helps Ollie deal with his grief over Granny’s passing brought a tear to my eye， while the way she stood up for other characters in the book made me want to give her a big ol’ high five。Ford， of course， is equally wonderful， from how much he cares for his son， to the way he does everything he can to make things work with Lily。 And let’s not forget the possessive words out of that man’s mouth。 I challenge anyone not to get goosebumps！ Equally， I loved that he was always respectful， giving Lily space to decide， and even offering to walk away if that’s what made her happy， despite the idea breaking his own heart。 Ford definitely cemented himself as one of my top book heroes！It was also great to see the brothers and Issi make appearances throughout。 The family love and camaraderie is still as strong as ever， and I can’t wait to see how Hudson fits in now that he’s finally coming home。 Overall， an addictive page-turning read， with great pacing， hot spice， heartfelt dialogue， and amazing chemistry between Ford and Lily。 The whole Whiskey Men series is an absolute recommend！。I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

I absolutely love the newest book in the Whiskey Men series。 Hope has given us such an incredible world with her Whiskey Run world。 This book gives us single dad Ford， who is a billionaire and Lillian， who is his go-to for pretty much everything。 I love how these two get to be the family they deserve。 This was a couple who was meant to be， and I adore their perfect ending。
