Second Shot of Whiskey: A Small Town Southern Romance Standalone Novel Kindle Edition

Sam Wylde is ready to prove he’s more than just the privileged son of a wealthy Southern dynasty.

Wyldefire Whiskey is poised to take Nashville by storm—and with any luck, overshadow the scandal of his cheating ex-girlfriend marrying his brother. The only problem? This gruff country boy has no idea how to throw a launch party that will get people talking.

The answer to everything might just be Holly Glen.

A party wrapped up in one tiny woman, Holly is tattooed, tempting, and exactly the event planner Sam needs to liven up his brand—and his life. He can give her what she needs, too.

All it will take is a ring on her finger.

Falling in real love with his fake wife was not part of the plan—but one shot of Holly isn’t going to be enough.

(Formerly titled Wylde Fire and published in 2019. It has since received intense edits, scene additions, and a brand new cover and title!)

Contemporary Romances Across the Rainbow…

Sarah Robinson first started their writing career as a published poet in high school, and then continued in college, winning several poetry awards and being published in multiple local literary journals.

Never expecting to make a career of it, a freelance writing Craigslist job accidentally introduced them to the world of book publishing. Lengthening their writing from poetry to novels, Robinson published their first book through a small press publisher, before moving into self-publishing, and then finally accepting a contract from Penguin Random House two years later. They continue to publish both traditionally and indie with over 22+ novels to their name with publishers like Penguin, Waterhouse Press, Hachette, Forever, Grand Central Publishing, and more.

In their personal life, Sarah Robinson identifies as a queer, non-binary mother and is happily married to the gentle giant of their dreams. The duo have two little children and are happily living in Arlington, Virginia where Robinson also works full-time as a psychotherapist with queer individuals and couples.

Great Start to the series!

Great Start to the series!
It's been a while since I have read the "Fake Relationship" trope and now I am wondering why. This was a fun read, that I was able to devour in just one afternoon. I found myself laughing out loud and shedding a few tears as well. Sarah Robinson did a wonderful job with creating characters that made you not only like them but care about them. I am looking forward to more from this series.Sam's brother is getting married to his ex-girlfriend and Sam needs a date for the wedding...if you ask me I would just skip it but hey it's family and all so you know you have to put on your big girl panties and muddle through, well in his case it would be boxer-briefs but you get the point.Holly's family had a devastating accident and it brought her back to her hometown where she is the owner / operator of a business that does event planning which is perfect for what Sam needs in order to get Wyldfire Whiskey's launch party the talk of the town, state, country...you see where I'm going with this.Holly also cares for her sister which is becoming harder and harder since her income isn't as hefty as it had once been, maybe just maybe Sam and Holly can help one another out.I would love to say this was a second chance romance as well because Holly had a crush on Sam in high school but Sam never really showed interest in her then so I really can't but there is that feel of it because Holly's crush really never went away even after all this time.If you enjoy the fake relationship trope or even a good contemporary romance I would say grab a copy and start this series today, I see great things are heading our way with the 100 Proof Series.Happy Reading!!!**I have voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book for my Blog, Nadine's Obsessed with Books**

Holly has had so many losses in her life and she’s going to do everything she can to help her sister who is in a coma. When Sam Wylde asks her to be his wife in order to help him save face with this family and help her with her sister’s costs, Holly decides to go for it. I loved the chemistry between these characters, and oh, my the ending! There are no words except to say read this book!

Second Shot of Whiskey is a fantastic read. I could not put this down. If you like fake relationships to more than you are going to just love this one. Sam is trying to move on from his brother's betrayal. Holly is doing everything she can growing her business and taking care of her sister's medical needs. Holly is a sweetheart who has gone through so much. She has crushed hard on Sam for years but has always been a wallflower and not seen. Sam is growing his whiskey business and needs help launching it. You feel this instant spark between Sam and Holly when they run into each other. I love how Sam tries to help Holly. There is so much chemistry between Sam and Holly that you will not be able to put this down. This was a quick read for me, and I could not get enough of it. I loved Sam and Holly so much. I'm looking forward to more of the 100 Proof series to come. You need to one click this and meet Sam and Holly.

What happens when you meet the man you have crushed on for ten years in the most unexpected way.
Sam Wylde is looking to move forward with his life after a breakup that was devastating and Holly Glen is trying to take care of the only family she has left. What both of them didn’t know is that they could help the other out and hopefully find happiness and stability once again.
The chemistry between them is off the charts from the first time they meet in the most unconventional way but can they use the other to get what they want or will things turn out better then either could have ever expected. Get ready to get so caught up in Sam & Holly’s story that when you get to the end your going to say I need more.

Sarah Robinson is a new to me author and while I love loved the chemistry between Sam and Holly, their story line didn’t really grab me. Parts of the story felt rushed and the ending was just…blah. I wished there would have been a little more to tie up a couple of loose ends. Overall, it was a quick read.

Sam Wylde is starting up Wyldefire Whiskey and is looking for an event planner to help out, all the while trying to mend his heart from his brothers’ betrayal. Holly Glen just so happens to be an event planner that really could use the money that Sam is offering for a last-minute job and the person he needs to help pull off a fake marriage.

While the marriage starts out as a fake one…feelings turn out to be real AND quick. Both Sam and Holly are trying hard not to fall in love, but fate has another thing in mind. Once again, it’s a quick read with some very entertaining secondary characters…like Grandma and her new husband. I think she needs her own book!

Will have to go down a star as there were full sentences that were repeated/appeared in a few chapters – not sure if that was on purpose? Or missed in the editing process. Maybe Ms. Robinson needs to go through this book again to give a look see.

5 SHOT STARS!! OMG....what a great start to this new series. I absolutely loved Sam and Holly's story, it caught my attention from the first page. I read it in about 2 1/2 hours.....it was so good... I could not put it down. Their story was sexy, sweet, heartbreaking, fun and so perfect to put a smile on your face. Sarah Robinson has done it again with her storytelling, hooking us readers and loving the characters. You should definitely read this book.

I love this author and look for her books any time there is a sale going on. I found this one and knew it was going to be good.
Sam Wylde is getting ready to launch Wyldefire Whiskey and he needs someone to plan the biggest event anyone has seen. In steps Holly Glen. Well, she doesn't step in, she steals his parking spot and proceeds to scold him for driving distracted. Sam doesn't believe what he is hearing, she knows him but he can't remember her. When he finds out what she does for a living, he knows he needs her.
Holly owns her own event planning company and she is good at it. Sam wants her to plan the launch of Wyldefire Whiskey and she is ready and knows she can do it.
As Sam and Holly grow closes, he proposes a deal that will benefit them both. Can she accept the deal without falling for him? Can Sam trust her and not let his past interfere with their relationship?
I enjoyed this story but I really wanted to slap Sam's brother upside the head with a 2x4. Looking forward to reading more of this series.

For me Sarah Robinson is a one click author, so when the opportunity for me to read an early copy came about I snagged it right up. And I was not disappointed. Sam and Holly’s story hooks you from the very beginning. It’s a fast paced page turner that you will not be able to put down. I can’t wait for the next installment of this series. A must read!

The blurb got me hooked, but sadly this book failed to deliver.
I'm confused ...
the H had been cheated on ... was that "three years ago" or "last year"? The beginning of the book stated three years, then later in the book, it states last year?
the H (finally) thinks to himself, he needs to confront the antagonist. So what happens next, you are asking? Well, I wish I could tell you. The reader doesn't know! Nothing else is ever said again! This book needs a good editor.

1.0 out of 5 stars I personally dislike the use of harmful sexist tropes in romance novels.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 18, 2022

I struggled with this book - as a romance, it didn't hit the mark for me.

*Below are unavoidable SPOILERS* - I’m unable to avoid talking about them in this review as I need to do so in order to explain why I didn’t like the book.

This was supposed to be light entertainment with a happy and romantic ending. In Robinson’s attempts to create character depth, I felt the author was lazy in the creation of motivations. I struggled with Robinson's plot points around Holly's background. I felt the car accident, her parents’ deaths and the sister's coma was somewhat of a cheap shot. In a crime or thriller, I think it could have been fitting. While I understand that Holly’s financial pressures were necessary for Robinson's plot line, in these modern times, I think it is smacks of situational coercion that is dated and unnecessary where you can choose less harmful tropes when you’re trying to write a romance. I also don’t feel that insurance fraud, even for the best of reasons, is particularly sexy or romantic. The speed at which they fell for each other then felt artificial.

The story became even more disturbing when Robinson choose to fridge Suzie when she was no longer necessary as a motivational trope, and she got feedback from readers that they wanted to know if she survived. It was a further disappointment for me that killing her off was Robinson's attempt to resolve the emotional tension, and quite frankly salt in the wound. I dislike female victims acting as a plot device more than a real character, especially those who are never given agency or depth. It's especially disheartening in female authors. Some of the side characters and penned banter were welcome light relief but it was not enough to change my overall opinion of the book. I will not be reading more of this author.
