Whiskey Throttle by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book in the Moto X Series. I do recommend reading these books in order so that you get the complete story and because we are introduced to Parker in the previous books as well.

This is Parker’s story. I’ll be honestly my heart broke reading this. Parker has such a tough start in life which lead to issues with addiction, and partying until he met Megan and had his daughter.
He is trying so desperately hard to be the best man and dad he can be, however because he hasn’t worked through the issues from his past, the demons are always holding him back.
When Megan leaves him Parker starts to spiral out of control again, doing things he knows he shouldn’t and risking not only his family life but his career and everything his sister and him have created.
Parker needs help to handle his demons but until he accepts the help himself no one else can help him.
What is it going to take for him to realise he needs help to overcome his past trauma’s and the be the best dad and man he can be? Will he realise too late and lose everything?

Parker is a dark character in the sense that he has a lot of trauma and addictions to work through, however he is also a good man who is trying his hardest to be the best person he can be for the people he loves. That’s why my heart went out to him because he tries so hard but always seems to fall short which people dealing with trauma seem to do. You can’t expect to move forward and be happy if you have demons and trauma from the past to work through.

This story is gripping and thought provoking and in parts heartbreaking as Parker’s emotions and despair fly off the pages. The fight he goes through and his determination to be better is what really endeared him to me.
The author did an incredible job at making the reader feel every emotion and struggle that Parker went through.
