Series background & context
The Whiskey Ridge Romance series is set in a small town tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains, a place where people come to heal, hide, or start fresh. The books are clean contemporary romances that focus on adults picking up the pieces after life does not go according to plan.
In Starting Over, Kelly moves to Whiskey Ridge after a painful breakup, dreaming of a quiet life and opening a small spa in the bottom floor of a historic house. Peace is hard to find, though, when the upstairs tenant runs a loud karate studio. Quinn, the instructor, is infuriating, attractive, and clearly guarding a secret of his own. Their prickly neighbors to something more arc sets the tone for the series, mixing humor with real emotion.
Taking Chances continues in the same town with new leads, tying in friends and locations familiar from the first book. These stories often feature characters who have been burned before and are sure they are done with love, only to discover that Whiskey Ridge is not a place where you can stay closed off forever.
In Home Again, Emmy returns to her hometown nursing both a broken marriage and a drained bank account after her ex husband’s betrayal. She plans to get in, help her eccentric mother, and get out. Instead, she is forced to help rehabilitate the very man who left town years before and broke her heart. The enforced proximity and shared history push them to face past hurts.
Always A Bridesmaid centers on Samantha, a successful Atlanta attorney who comes to Whiskey Ridge only to support her little sister’s wedding. Tucker, the new town veterinarian, has no patience for high powered city types, and the two of them start off on completely the wrong foot. When he steps in to help her in an unexpected moment, their dynamic shifts, and both have to decide how much they are willing to risk.
The series wraps with The Billionaire’s Retreat, where a self made billionaire and a woman whose life he once saved cross paths again years later at a mountain retreat. Old debts, hidden identities, and financial pressure all play into whether they will choose business or their hearts.
Taken together, the Whiskey Ridge books offer a cozy mountain backdrop, recurring side characters, and a consistent theme, even in your thirties or forties, it is still possible to start again, fall in love, and redefine success.
