Whiskey Chick by Ryan RingbloomMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I liked this book more than the first one in the series, but even so, "Whiskey Chick" felt very short and the characters seemed underdeveloped to me. Remi (the female lead) kept saying how surprised she was that her friend Jenn set her up with her brother Henry when she had so much more in common with Jenn's other brother Adam (the male lead), but I still haven't figured out exactly what those commonalities are. I don't feel like I learned much about Adam at all. I don't remember his job ever being mentioned, and I'm pretty sure the first time I heard his last name was in the final chapter. Basically, the only two things I remember about Adam are that he likes to ride carnival rides and that he spends his free time at the gym. As for Remi, we know that she's a twin, is in school to become a cosmetologist, has a reputation for being "unfiltered," and also likes carnival rides. So I guess there's one thing they have in common after all!
On the bright side, there were definitely some LOL moments in this book. For example, I enjoyed the striptease scene very much and couldn't help laughing at the idea of Adam's relatives wondering what was going on in his room when they saw that.
Overall, reading "Whiskey Chick" was an OK way to pass a couple of hours on a snowy afternoon, but I doubt I will continue with the series or seek out any more of Ringbloom's books in the future. I love romantic comedies, but I need more character development in order to really enjoy them.
