Synopsis

Welcome to Mayhem, Minnesota, where the cats wear sweaters, the local priest dispenses dating advice, and you can find your fortune in the bottom of a pie tin.

When her family's pub is threatened with foreclosure, Hennessy O'Halloran, along with her three sisters, is determined to raise enough money to keep it out of the hands of the L.A. real-estate developer trying to raze it and replace it with a—god forbid!—multiplex theater.

Bryan Truitt always gets what he wants. And what he wants is the sweet corner property on Mayhem's Main Street where O'Halloran's Pub sits. But his "quick business" turns into more than he bargains for when he meets the feisty Hennessy. Next thing he knows, he's betting her he can outlast Mayhem's punishing winter in time to make the pub his—or he'll gift it to her for free.

Hennessy knows better than to flirt with the enemy. But suddenly Bryan's not sure which he wants more . . . the property or the woman who owns it.

Goodreads review by Heather on August 22, 2017

This book is book one of the Whiskey Sisters series and it completely stands alone – it *does not* end on a cliffhanger. There is some very mild cursing (no f-bombs), and any sex that happens is off-screen so if those things bother you, you do not have to worry about them with this story. This was m......more

Goodreads review by Erin on September 11, 2017

This "Bliss" book is set in an adorable Irish pub in Minnesota setting with "whiskey sisters" named after various brands of whiskey. This is Hennessy's story, and it is like a not-cheesy Hallmark movie. Having previously read and enjoyed Rico's hot contemporary, "Solo", I was looking forward to this......more
