Poignant, Witty, and Steamy Romance!

Wow, this emotional, and engaging story held me captive right from the start. Gabe lost the love of his life on a mission and knew he would never love again. That is until he unexpectedly ran into an angel who would steal his heart at first glance. Autumn doesn't know how her life went so wrong. One moment she has the perfect, attentive fiance, and then when they're married, it goes all wrong. From the outside her life looks perfect, but Gabe sees her pain that no one else does. Even tho their meeting was brief, Autumn can't get Gabe's green eyes out of her head. She is not the timid, pushover her husband thinks she is. But Gabe gives her the strength to imagine a better life. But those thoughts are dangerous and could get them both killed. This unique and exhilarating story was fast paced and the plot twists kept me totally engaged. Narrators Kylie Stewart, and Eric Rolon did a good job pulling me in and making me feel like I was part of this world. They embodied both Autumn and Gabe, bringing out both their strengths and vulnerabilities. I really enjoyed this poignant, witty, and steamy romance and can't wait to listen to the next book in the Saddles & Racks series.

OMG!

What an amazing story. It had me on the edge of my seat. May contain triggers for some. Some of Gabe's lines sounded a bit to "read" but otherwise amazing job from narrators.

A wonderful story!

I couldn’t put this book down.
This is book 1 in this series and I can’t wait to read/listen to the next book in this series.
The characters are amazing and the narration was absolutely perfect!!
I would recommend this book/series!!

My new fave narrators!

Hot sexy story. Loved the narrators! All in all it was an excellent book! I would read more from this author.

What a great start to an amazing series!

Need to compose myself here after completing the listen. The prologue sets the stage for an emotional roller coaster. Kimberly Knight has fantastic character development. I wanted to scream in frustration at times, at others I was welling up with tears. A good tale invokes emotional reactions and this one has it all! One of the great things about her characters is that I was able to see a little bit of myself in each of them. It brings a connection between the reader and the story as a whole. Even minor characters, like her dad, I found myself relating to on a few levels. I’m definitely hooked and won’t be able to wait a month for the next credit. I’ll be buying the next one immediately.
The only thing that took some getting used to was having two voices in a single chapter. I’m used to one reader doing both male and female voices in their given chapters. After the third though, it felt completely natural. If you are like me, don’t give up early. The story is so worth it and you do adapt pretty quickly to the narration.

I'll Take a Shot of Gabe

This is the first book I've read/listened to by this author and damn if the first chapter didn't rip my heart right out. Ms. Knight pulled me into the story of Gabe and his struggle with losing the love of his life while serving his country. To say the man did not handle it well would be an understatement. Swearing off love, he finds solace in a bottle of whiskey and turns to being an escort for release. Good thing he has his best friend, Paul, to keep him in line. Until he meets Autumn. Then all hell breaks loose. Consumed by the mild-mannered woman he falls head over heels.
Autumn by outward appearances lives a charmed life, but she hides a darkness that she lives with constantly. When her husband decides to run for mayor, the news is not good for Autumn, she knows her life will become much more difficult. Gabe wants to be her knight in shining armor, especially when he finds out who her husband really is. Autumn and Gabe might just be able to save each other if things work out, otherwise the outcome could be disastrous.
Ms. Knight weaves heartbreak, fear, and coincidence into a tight story of passion, triumph, and love. The audiobook is the first true duet narration I have listened to and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing both narrators interacting as the characters. Gabe's narrator has a sexy, gruff timbre to his voice, and Kylie Stewart is excellent as the various personas Autumn has to keep herself safe. In the end Ms. Knight pieced back together the heart she shattered in the first chapter and provided an satisfying HEA for this reader.

4,5*

Angels and Whisky was amazing emotional second chance story. 

It's about learning to trust again, to do things right and to believe in love. 

The past left wounds which had to heal. 


Gabe is former soldier and has got deep scars left from war and osing his first love.

Autumn is kind, lovely person but mentally and physically abused by her husband. 

She's got enough and is plotting a plan. When Gabe and she first meet, she is smitten with "Mr. Green eyes." He also can't watch away. They quickly become friends and Gabe promises to help her. To his surprise Autumn's husband is Gabe's former major who noone didn't like. 


The story is nicely developing with lots of twists and turns but in the end love and justice win. 


I loved every word and also the narration was fabulously done. 

Secrets everywhere

This book was very enjoyable. Soldiers and male escorts make for an interesting story that had plenty of action.

Wonderful!

This story checks all of the boxes for emotions! It was sad, happy, bite your nails, hot and I wanted it to go on after the last word. Don’t miss it!

Rated a hard R for romance ;)

She takes away his nightmares and he can protect her from hers.

Gabe finds himself a bit listless after leaving the military. His heart is destroyed and he’s been offered an unusual opportunity. He and his best friend from the army have been hired by Saddles and Racks an escort service. (They are a legit establishment you are buying companionship not nookie) While on a Starbz run Gabe bumps into Autumn a gorgeous who is going through hell.

Their chemistry while forbidden is instant and the 2 will stop at nothing to drag each other from their personal hells. While Autumn derives courage from Gabe she has to step up and change her own circumstances so either can have a chance at peace.

There are mature themes and some triggering subject matter. These matters are handles with a delicate hand. The narrators are great. The story kept my interest and I had fun guessing the outcome.
