Sam Wylde is ready to prove he’s more than just the privileged son of a wealthy Southern dynasty.

Wyldefire Whiskey is poised to take Nashville by storm—and with any luck, overshadow the scandal of his cheating ex-girlfriend marrying his brother. The only problem? This gruff country boy has no idea how to throw a launch party that will get people talking.

The answer to everything might just be Holly Glen.

A party wrapped up in one tiny woman, Holly is tattooed, tempting, and exactly the event planner Sam needs to liven up his brand—and his life. He can give her what she needs, too.

All it will take is a ring on her finger.

Falling in real love with his fake wife was not part of the plan—but one shot of Holly isn’t going to be enough.

(Formerly titled Wylde Fire and published in 2019. It has since received intense edits, scene additions, and a brand new cover and title!)

Good blurb but failed to deliver

Reviewed in Australia on 20 September 2019

Verified Purchase

The blurb got me hooked, but sadly this book failed to deliver.
I'm confused ...
the H had been cheated on ... was that "three years ago" or "last year"? The beginning of the book stated three years, then later in the book, it states last year?
the H (finally) thinks to himself, he needs to confront the antagonist. So what happens next, you are asking? Well, I wish I could tell you. The reader doesn't know! Nothing else is ever said again! This book needs a good editor.

Drama & a Fake Relationship

Reviewed in Australia on 18 September 2019

Wylde Fire is book 1 in the 100 Proof series, its filled with all round drama including a fake relationship.

Sam is succeeding in his professional life, he is putting in the hard work and is going to make a name for himself; his personal life not so much. After being burned by his brother and now ex girlfriend he is cautious and steers clear of everything relating to the situation. When a disagreement over a parking spot paves the way for his launch and filling the spot of fake partner in crime. When the lines blur and its moves from fake to real are they able to find their way?

Sam is instantly attracted to Holly; little does he know is that she knows exactly who he is and she has been holding a high school girl crush for years.

Robinson is a new to me author, I am excited to read more from this series.

I personally dislike the use of harmful sexist tropes in romance novels.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 April 2022

I struggled with this book - as a romance, it didn't hit the mark for me.

*Below are unavoidable SPOILERS* - I’m unable to avoid talking about them in this review as I need to do so in order to explain why I didn’t like the book.

This was supposed to be light entertainment with a happy and romantic ending. In Robinson’s attempts to create character depth, I felt the author was lazy in the creation of motivations. I struggled with Robinson's plot points around Holly's background. I felt the car accident, her parents’ deaths and the sister's coma was somewhat of a cheap shot. In a crime or thriller, I think it could have been fitting. While I understand that Holly’s financial pressures were necessary for Robinson's plot line, in these modern times, I think it is smacks of situational coercion that is dated and unnecessary where you can choose less harmful tropes when you’re trying to write a romance. I also don’t feel that insurance fraud, even for the best of reasons, is particularly sexy or romantic. The speed at which they fell for each other then felt artificial.

The story became even more disturbing when Robinson choose to fridge Suzie when she was no longer necessary as a motivational trope, and she got feedback from readers that they wanted to know if she survived. It was a further disappointment for me that killing her off was Robinson's attempt to resolve the emotional tension, and quite frankly salt in the wound. I dislike female victims acting as a plot device more than a real character, especially those who are never given agency or depth. It's especially disheartening in female authors. Some of the side characters and penned banter were welcome light relief but it was not enough to change my overall opinion of the book. I will not be reading more of this author.

This book had all the potential in the world. The right characters, setting, storyline and writing. However with all this how can everything go so wrong? This was a train wreck. I kept wondering how the editor let this get published with all these holes in this book.

The leading characters Sam and Holly were heading somewhere great but as a reader I never got there. The author lead us to important events in the story and never resolved them. Her whole family was in a horrific car crash that killed both her parents and Holly severely burned. She tattooed over some of the scarring so they wouldn't be so noticeable. She slept with Sam a lot and neither never mentioned them. Holly's sister was in the hospice in a coma for a few years we don't know if she survived her emergency surgery? Her hospice care was one of the reason for getting married to help each other out emotionally and financially.

Believe it or not it wasn't the writing because I smiled even had some ahhh moments. I loved the awesome supporting characters and the dialogue. Overall in the end I didn't have closure. It was like pages were missing.

Quick read

Reviewed in the United States on 12 March 2020

Sarah Robinson is a new to me author and while I love loved the chemistry between Sam and Holly, their story line didn’t really grab me. Parts of the story felt rushed and the ending was just…blah. I wished there would have been a little more to tie up a couple of loose ends. Overall, it was a quick read.

Sam Wylde is starting up Wyldefire Whiskey and is looking for an event planner to help out, all the while trying to mend his heart from his brothers’ betrayal. Holly Glen just so happens to be an event planner that really could use the money that Sam is offering for a last-minute job and the person he needs to help pull off a fake marriage.

While the marriage starts out as a fake one…feelings turn out to be real AND quick. Both Sam and Holly are trying hard not to fall in love, but fate has another thing in mind. Once again, it’s a quick read with some very entertaining secondary characters…like Grandma and her new husband. I think she needs her own book!

Will have to go down a star as there were full sentences that were repeated/appeared in a few chapters – not sure if that was on purpose? Or missed in the editing process. Maybe Ms. Robinson needs to go through this book again to give a look see.

Second Shot of Whiskey is a fantastic read. I could not put this down. If you like fake relationships to more than you are going to just love this one. Sam is trying to move on from his brother's betrayal. Holly is doing everything she can growing her business and taking care of her sister's medical needs. Holly is a sweetheart who has gone through so much. She has crushed hard on Sam for years but has always been a wallflower and not seen. Sam is growing his whiskey business and needs help launching it. You feel this instant spark between Sam and Holly when they run into each other. I love how Sam tries to help Holly. There is so much chemistry between Sam and Holly that you will not be able to put this down. This was a quick read for me, and I could not get enough of it. I loved Sam and Holly so much. I'm looking forward to more of the 100 Proof series to come. You need to one click this and meet Sam and Holly.

Good First in the Series!

I love this author and look for her books any time there is a sale going on. I found this one and knew it was going to be good.
Sam Wylde is getting ready to launch Wyldefire Whiskey and he needs someone to plan the biggest event anyone has seen. In steps Holly Glen. Well, she doesn't step in, she steals his parking spot and proceeds to scold him for driving distracted. Sam doesn't believe what he is hearing, she knows him but he can't remember her. When he finds out what she does for a living, he knows he needs her.
Holly owns her own event planning company and she is good at it. Sam wants her to plan the launch of Wyldefire Whiskey and she is ready and knows she can do it.
As Sam and Holly grow closes, he proposes a deal that will benefit them both. Can she accept the deal without falling for him? Can Sam trust her and not let his past interfere with their relationship?
I enjoyed this story but I really wanted to slap Sam's brother upside the head with a 2x4. Looking forward to reading more of this series.
