Whiskey River Rescue

A 10 out of 5 stars. Fabulous. Fully developed characters and emotions, treated honestly and with sensitivity and a HEA. Worth reading again and again. As a social activist and Canadian in 2025 the only sour note was the usual deference to the American military instead of an honest admission that Americans were engaging in illegal invasions and regime change coups but that was a very small fault in a story of otherwise impeccable honesty.

I really enjoyed this book. It had great characters and a heart-warming plot. I felt some of the issues could have been explored more in a longer story.

I was heartbroken reading Whisky River Rescue written by Justine Davis. It is a heart wrenching story of healing from abuse and mistreatment; whether it’s the horses that Kelsey Blaine rescues or the childhood that Joe Kilcoyne escaped and survived. These two face life differently; with Kelsey feeling hopeful while Joe escapes reality, not allowing anyone to get under his skin. This story really resonated with me, exemplifying that hope and love does exist. I struggle, on a daily basis, to understand how someone could abuse, neglect, or mistreat another person or an animal. I really enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting this book down, reading it in one day. I highly recommend this book to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
