In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother. Any woman who did, ended up dead—or so the rumor goes. Townies call it a curse. But I’ve lived it, and I won’t survive it again.
I’m not a cop anymore, but I’ve seen enough danger to know that Laney Young, the beautiful stranger who just showed up in my small town, is running from it. She’s lying about where she came from and what she’s doing here.
I don’t want her near my family or the quiet life I’ve made for myself. But my brothers have other plans. Now she’s everywhere–working at my distillery, living in our guest house, calling me ‘cowboy’ and skinny-dipping in my horse trough.
But it’s the way she dishes out attitude from that pretty mouth of hers that has me wanting things I’ve sworn to myself I’d never want again. I should push her away, forget how her lips taste, and ignore how she makes me want more out of life again.
When her past shows up and mingles too closely with mine, her lies begin to unravel. The rules don’t matter anymore. I mess up, dig too far, and get too close. Only two things have the power to keep her safe now: bourbon and lies.
My Review
'𝐁O𝐔R𝐁O𝐍 & 𝐋I𝐄S'
Is a full length contemporary romance book by new to me author Victoria Wilder. Spoken in 'Dual perspectives.' Laney & Grant
I saw this pop up on here a time or two, one clicked it, jumped in pulling me in as soon as I started and enjoyed every minute of it.
'𝐓R𝐎P𝐄S' Grumpy & sunshine, Strangers to lovers, Found family, Slow burn, Ex-police officer, WITSEC.
I loved their first meeting, interaction, Laney's just been dropped off into the unknown, a place that will keep her away from danger, struggling to sleep she gets up out of bed and is wandering around in a long tee-shirt with no pants, when a hot guy rides up on a horse, promptly giving him the nickname Cowboy. A few sassy comments and barbs thrown about set up the scene perfectly. 📚 'I'v𝐞 𝐝e𝐟n𝐢t𝐞l𝐲 𝐦a𝐧a𝐠e𝐝 𝐭o p𝐢s𝐬 𝐨f𝐟 𝐆r𝐚n𝐭 𝐅o𝐱x
j𝐮s𝐭 𝐛y e𝐱i𝐬t𝐢n𝐠 𝐢n h𝐢s s𝐦a𝐥l t𝐨w𝐧. A𝐧d I t𝐡i𝐧k I l𝐢k𝐞 𝐢t'
She's promptly put to work at their distillery and placed in the vacant cabin right next door to the last person she wants to be around. Grant's cop spidery instincts kick in and he knows this little liar is hiding something. He's a man of a few words, a few grunts, a few glares, a cold shoulder is usually Grant's choice of language.
But ever so slowly she pulls him out of his protective shell he's surrounded himself with and starts opening up to everything Laney has to offer.
The trough scene had Yellowstone, Beth vibes going on being a huge fan of that series it was hard not to compare the two heroines, both tough and sassy, which had me really liking the heroine in this.
This is definitely a book worth reading, and one I highly recommend.. * Teasers used are off the authors facebook page*
