Blurb

June Tucker doesn’t understand people. Numbers, data, and statistics? Those make sense. People? Not so much. In a town of Friday night fighters and moonshine-swilling line dancers, she’s the odd duck. And that suits her just fine. But her sister and friends are pairing off, and the change is unsettling.

George “GT” Thompson was at the top of his game—one of the best receivers in football. But a career-ending injury sidelined him for good. Now he’s hoping to find relief in the healing waters of this tiny West Virginia town. And maybe an idea of what life has in store for him next.

He doesn’t expect the no-nonsense girl at the hot spring, telling him he’s not supposed to be there. And pointing out his sizeable… equipment.

George is fascinated by June, with her head full of statistics and blunt honesty. He appreciates her in a way most others don’t. And when the local missing persons case takes a shocking turn, he’s by Scooby-June’s side as she digs for the truth.

He was her fantasy receiver. Now he’s her real-life boyfriend. But as their relationship heats up, June worries she’s not capable of the kind of intimacy he needs. He’s convinced his campaign to get her out of her own head—to stop thinking and feel—will work. But his own crisis could drive them further apart.

Review

Each time a book in this series comes out, I fall in love with this series more and more. This book is no exception. This time we get June’s story. I’ll be honest I wasn’t sure how this was going to go. June is a very quirky, secondary character in the other books. To me the best way to describe June is she is very “Sheldon-like”. I’ve LOVED her character but I knew her path to HEA was going to be interesting. This story was amazing. George was the perfect match for June. There are so many things that were just amazing, but I don’t want to spoil any of them for you. There was one scene near the beginning where George and June were dancing, and I think right at that moment I fell head over heels for George. He is so kind and patient with June. He’s so swoony in many areas but he was also a typical guy that made mistakes. All of these characteristics made him so endearing. I just can’t get enough of him.

If you’ve read the other books in this series you will definitely see June in a different light. She’s still the highly intelligent, low emotional, straightforward, no-nonsense character, but there is so much more to her. Once she finds someone that understands and accepts her, she just blossoms. You’ll learn of some more twists and turns in the Callie Kendall subplot, and in the process you’ll also learn that June is a little bit of a bad-ass. I really didn’t know what to expect, but this story surpassed everything I could’ve hoped for.

If you haven’t read any of Bootleg Springs series, this book is the 4th in the series. Each book is about a different couple and could be read as a standalone. Trust me when I tell you to just read the entire series. You won’t be lost if you just read this one but it will be so much more enjoyable if you have read all of the series. I cannot recommend this series enough. This is one of my all-time favorite series! Go get this book and get this series. Once you devour it you’ll be telling all your friends to go read it too.

Moonshine Kiss
By Lucy Score with Claire Kingsley
Release Date:  December 7, 2018

Blurb

All those years of adolescent fantasies and this was how Bowie Bodine first touched my boobs. And he apologized. Real life was stupid and unfair.

Small town deputy Cassidy Tucker’s dating life is a train wreck on repeat. All she ever wanted was a solid partner. A man to share pajamas with. The handsome, big-hearted Bowie Bodine. Wait. Scratch that. Mr. You’re-Like-a-Sister-to-Me is not welcome in her fantasies.

She and Bowie aren’t going to happen—that’s been clear for a long time—and as for the rest of mankind? Cassidy’s officially giving up on love and adopting cats. Good thing the cold case disappearance of Callie Kendall is heating up to keep her distracted. Except the investigation is testing her friendship with all the Bodines—Bowie in particular.

Bowie knows he can’t have his little sister’s best friend. He made a promise and he’s determined to keep it. But putting distance between them isn’t easy—not when she lives right next door.

Having her poke around trying to prove his father’s guilt isn’t helping either. All Bowie has ever wanted is to shed the No-Good Bodine reputation. It’s looking like he’ll never be free of that shadow.

But one nocturnal animal, a feverish against-the-wall kiss, and absolutely zero pajamas has a way of changing everything.

Review

With each book that comes out, this series is solidifying its place as one of my all-time favorite series. This time we get Bowie and Cassidy’s story. They have been in love with each other for most of their lives. If you’ve read the other books you already know there’s something going on…a tension between the two. Now we get to know all the details. And oh what details they are!

This book and this series is quirky, funny, sweet, and sexy. You will be laughing out loud one moment and emotional the next. Cassidy is smart, independent and strong, but does show her vulnerable side. Bowie is so swoon-worthy! They are both stubborn at times and you just want to shake them. These two are perfect for each other and I loved watching their story unfold.

Not only do we get the amazing story of these two, but we get to check in with all our favorite characters. This small town and this family are so charming and hilarious that you just want to be a part of them. I can’t wait to see whose story we get in the upcoming books. I can’t forget about the mystery of Callie Kendall. Just when you think you know what’s going to happen we get a curve ball or two in this book. I love that this sub plot is keeping us on our toes.

I cannot express how much I love this book and I love this series. If you love small town romance and/or rom-com then you definitely need to read this book and this series.

Review

Are you the type of reader who highlights passages and bookmarks pages to go back to later? Especially the hot, steamy, sexy times for when you need…ummm…inspiration. Then this book is PERFECT for you. Kathryn Nolan writes some of the hottest and sexiest scenes I’ve ever read. With this book you get 14 of these steamy and very “inspirational” short stories. I don’t know what you’ll need more after reading them, a cigarette, a glass of wine, or a fire extinguisher. All of the shorts are very different and there’s bound to be one to strike the fancy of anyone. Not only do you get steaminess, but the characters are likeable and you get invested in the story even in a short amount of time. Kathryn Nolan is simply an amazing author with anything and everything she writes. Get this book! I give this book 5+++ fiery stars!
