Strong & tough, yet compassionate women ROCK this book
I will honestly say that this is one of the BEST books I've ever read.
Everything about it totally hooked me in and kept me reading until the wee hours of the morning. I actually had to re-read the last part, as it was so satisfying, and the ending was perfectly delicious. Ms. Holt has a gift for writing about emotions and connections between characters, whether they are harsh or loving. Though there is some violence, it was a fitting and integral part of the story, and it was more than balanced out by the compassion and love for each other shown by most of the women in the story. Though they are flawed, the women are a delightful blend of strength and compassion. I know a story is good for me when I literally feel things in my gut, which happened frequently here. I absolutely can't wait for the next in the series which I understand is coming soon. That's also a big plus for me, as it's nice when the next book comes out before I've forgotten the previous one. If you like strong women in a wonderful world of fantasy, I highly recommend this book.

Loved this Book!
I have loved all of Alison’s books and this one was no exception. Strong female characters trying to live their lives in a world that is not kind to them. The characters are well written and believable. Makes you want to be their friend and go on their adventures with them cheering them on against scheming villains. Another masterpiece Alison! Please keep on writing.

Loved this book!
I loved this book. I didn’t think I’d enjoy a book set in the days of pirates, but I did. It was interesting to see how women had to deal and fight with society for their for their own independence, like so many women still do. I enjoyed the development of the main characters, Jonto and Isla. A book I’ll definitely read again.

Another Winner
Holt does it again. "Whiskey-Colored Eyes" is a great look at new characters, some familiar ones, tying storylines together between books, but also crafting a new chapter in her on-going work of outstanding writing. Can't wait to see what is next!

LOVE this first romance!
This being the first romance from an author whose fantasy and mystery work I love, I read the book with a bit of trepidation. Though I enjoy reading occasional romances, there are only a few authors who I REALLY love enough to keep reading in this genre. This story is definitely on that list now. The characters are so opposite (ice queen and homeless veteran) but are very believable, and the story was just angsty enough to be real but not overly so (a common problem I find with many romances). A couple of HOT scenes are a bonus. The author writes PTSD and homelessness into the story so well, and of course, what’s not to love about a cool service dog? Congratulations on a well-done romance, Ms. Holt. I look forward to the next one.

Don’t Miss This Book
In my opinion Melt For Me is the best book in this series. I could not put it down. In fact I read it twice in two days. The new characters are rich, vibrant and utterly captivating. The character from the previous books in the series add extra depth to an already wonderful romance. Alison Naomi Holt has done it again.

My favorite Holt book
Well, actually I'm not sure I have a favorite series, maybe The Daughters of Elyon, a really great action series in a wonderful Sci-fi Fantasy mode. Or wait! Maybe The Seven Realms of Ar'rothi with amazing powerful warrior women in an incredible magical world. I did really enjoy the Alex Wolf Credo's series. Great mysteries! I give up. Allison Naomi Holt can work in any genre and her work is enthralling, entertaining, and exceptional. You can't go wrong with any and all of her books - she never disappoints and always leaves you hoping for more of whatever series you have just finished..
