About this ebook

Friendships and family abound during a week of love, laughter, and happily ever afters. Catch up with your favorite characters and enjoy Bones and Sarah’s wedding while falling in love with the newest Whiskey-world couple, Penny Wilson and Scott Beckley, in this Whiskey series novella.

When everything you want is right in front of you, but it’s still out of reach…

Penny Wilson has a successful business, more friends than a girl could ask for, and a boyfriend she’s madly and passionately in love with. Scott Beckley is honest, loyal, hands down the best lover on the planet, and absolutely gaga over his nieces and nephews. Scott’s a keeper…as long as Penny doesn’t ever want to hear those three magical words that would take their relationship to the next level. Scott escaped abusive parents at seventeen and was forced to find his way alone in the world. Even though it’s been more than a decade and he’s reunited with his estranged sisters and built a good life in Peaceful Harbor, Maryland, he’s still tortured by his past. Penny knows he loves her with everything he has, but for a girl who wants a family and a guy who is afraid of having one, love might not be enough.

Ratings and reviews

I LOVE this series!! With each story it just keeps getting better. This story was fun, sexy and romantic. My heart went out to Penny for loving a man who didn’t have faith in himself. But, the way she handled it and was able to open Scott’s eyes to see things differently was inspiring. Couldn’t put it down!

Penny and Scott are the ultimate in opposites attract. Scott was raised in a home with parents that abused him and his sisters. He was riddled with guilt at not being able to protect his younger sisters, so much so he didn’t believe he deserved a HEA. Scott vowed to never have a family or a relationship for fear of becoming his father. Penny and her sister were lavished with love growing up. They never had to wonder where their next meal was coming from or what was going to set their dad off. They were LOVED! Penny knows Scott doesn’t want a family or a HEA, but her heart doesn’t believe him. Penny doesn’t want to change Scott as she loves him as is, but she can’t help but thinking he’s afraid. I loved that Penny and Scott worked for their HEA. Through counseling, Scott is able to work through some of his fears. It’s not easy, but necessary. Very realistic! I enjoyed how supportive Scott was with Penny’s ice cream business. I also enjoyed the “glimpses” of the Whiskey family as they come together to celebrate another marriage. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

"𝐼𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢'𝑟𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑡𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑢𝑔𝑎𝑟, 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑚𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑎𝑠 𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑒𝑛𝑗𝑜𝑦 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑡." In for a Penny from Melissa Foster is a quick contemporary romance in The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor series about family and growth. Scott and Penny have been hot and heavy since finally connecting with each other. Penny is in love with Scott and wants to spend the rest of her life with him but Scott is battling with the demons from his past and she is worried that her love may not be enough to keep him around. I always love spending time with The Whiskeys and Bones and Sarah's wedding was a great way to return to Peaceful Harbor. Scott and Penny were definitely hot and steamy together. I really felt for Scott and all the demons he is fighting because of his past but was so happy that he found Penny who was the one able to bring the sweetness he needed to bury the worries of his past. It was great to see the rest of the Whiskey clan and Kennedy is still so adorable. I can not wait for more from Melissa Foster and The Whiskeys in the future.
