Love & Whiskey Books in Order

The Love & Whiskey series gives Nikki Ash a more polished, adult contemporary lane to play in. These books are still emotional and steamy, but the world is built around careers, family expectations, money, and the kind of public-facing lives where romance can become a problem as fast as it becomes a comfort.

Drunk on You starts things with fake engagement energy and workplace rivalry. A woman trying to prove she can lead her family's liquor company finds herself teaming up with the one man who should probably be competition instead of comfort. It has the sharpest banter of the series, but it also sets up one of Nikki Ash's favorite ideas, that pretending can get dangerously close to feeling real.

Then the series softens around the edges.

Hooked on You moves into single-parent territory with a live-in nanny setup, an age gap, and two people whose daily responsibilities matter just as much as their chemistry. Waiting on You keeps the grown-up mood but adds instant attraction, office tension, and secret pregnancy, which gives the final book a push-pull between hope and uncertainty.

What ties the series together is not one giant plot. It is the shared social world and the slightly more mature feel. These are people with jobs, reputations, children, and practical concerns, even when the attraction gets reckless. Nikki Ash lets them be hot and impulsive without making them feel weightless.

The tone is smoother than the rock-star books and less dark than the suspense-heavy series, but there is still plenty of emotional payoff. If you like office romance, fake dating, single-parent dynamics, and characters who have to fit love around already complicated lives, this page hits a nice sweet spot.

Start with Drunk on You and move in order. The overlap is light enough that you could jump around, but the series reads best when you let the shared world build one couple at a time.
