Frequently Asked

QCan Tequila Sunrise be read as a standalone?

Yes, Tequila Sunrise features a different couple (Danny Talley and Mel Cruz) and can be read on its own, but it is best enjoyed after Barrel Proof since it features cameos and bridges the story toward the Trouble Brewing spin-off.

The 2023 edition of Blended Whiskey is an updated second edition featuring a new cover, refreshed formatting, and light content editing, followed by an audiobook release in 2024.
