Second Tear - eBook

I have been waiting for Whiskey and Country. If you’ve read Pink and Country or Princess and Country you know how Nick’s story ends. Emmanuelle Snow has a talent for storytelling. Whiskey and Country is Nick’s story and his journey - one I did not expect. Nick’s story is emotional and one that gives you hope. I’m not usually a fan of slowburn, but Emmanuelle does slow burn fantastically. Nick’s story was perfect. I enjoyed the build up and pacing of the story. After the death of a close friend, Nick spirals in his grief and guilt. He receives a package containing his friend’s bucket list and decides to honor his friend's wishes by experiencing everything his friend was not able to. He eventually ends up in the small town of Green Mountain where he meets Dahlia and the two have an instant connection. Dahlia is overcoming her own grief. I loved how their relationship developed slowly over time. It felt authentic. As I got to know Nick and his heart of gold, he took a piece of mine. My heart swooned everytime Nick called Dahlia “woman”. This is a story about finding your soulmate and enjoying life's moments.

I'm always blown after story after story in this series. This story follows Dahlia and Nick, and being able to see the second part of Dahlia's love story unfold within an actual novel was really enjoyable. This story is full of just as much emotion and heart as the rest of her novels, and it was so incredibly addicting. I never wanted to put it down.

Thank you so much Emmanuelle Snow for an arc of this book.

Wow. Just wow. If that could be my review, that is all I would write. I am used to reading books that are mainly in the female's POV, so it was interesting to read this book in primarily Nick’s.

I really enjoyed how Nick and Dahila’s relationship progressed. It felt like a natural pace for the storyline and while it did start out a little slow for me, I understand that is the way it is for real-life relationships. My heart was breaking for Nick throughout the novel while he worked through everything that he lost and was piecing his life back together. The growth was inspiring.

This beautiful story is about heartbreak, loss, and piecing yourself back together when you want to fall apart. I recommend this to anybody who loves Happy Ever After’s with a ton of emotion from beginning to end.

Ahem. Sorry. I got a little excited! I just love this author so much.

Okay, but…I cried, a lot. This book is an emotional rollercoaster, but it’s so beautiful, I didn’t want the ride to end. This isn’t a surprise, nor is it the first time this author has made me cry…but Whiskey and Country had something that stole my heart just a little bit more this time.

Emmanuelle Snow is brilliant when it comes to all aspects of writing, but her characters…her characters. I’d like to note that this book had me so captivated and emotional, that I’m having a hard time writing a coherent review. Anyway, her characters are just so realistic. Watching Nick and Dahlia’s story unfold, it felt as though I knew these people.

I could keep going on and on, but honestly, you should grab your copy right now. Take my word for it. There aren’t enough words to describe just how beautiful this story is. You need to experience it.

Thank you to Digital Reads Book Tours and the author for the free review copy. All opinions are my own and unbiased.

It’s difficult for me to connect with a protagonist/book at the very beginning of the story…

Emmanuelle Snow with her fantastic writing found her way to conquer my heart only after a few lines!

This book has been a real emotional journey! It moved me, it made me cry, smile and love!

I got more and more attached to Nick’s story page after page! I really loved the way he deals with his past and the sorrow that comes with it, developing in the meantime as a wonderful and amazing person!

I felt involved in his story and the relationship that he creates with Dahlia!

Thank you, Emmanuelle, for this breathtaking love story!

“Whiskey and Country” deserves a place in my fav reads shelf!
