Getting dumped by your boyfriend days before your best friend\u2019s wedding? It doesn\u2019t get much worse.<br \/>\nDid I mention that the guy who cut me loose was country music\u2019s number one rising star?<br \/>\nAnd my client.<br \/>\nI thought I was walking into a proposal. Instead, I crashed right into humiliation\u2014dumped and fired.<\/p>\n<p>The silver lining? In a restaurant, there\u2019s plenty of wine to drown my feelings.<\/p>\n<p>In strolls Tyler Nichols, the restaurant owner. He\u2019s charming, handsome and does a good job of trying to make me feel better. A really good job. Sharing my heartbreak with a beautiful stranger is the last thing that I expected.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out, Tyler Nichols is my ex\u2019s best friend. And according to the local gossips\u2014mainly my cousin\u2014he\u2019s got a mysterious past.<\/p>\n<p>No worries, I\u2019m the gal with everything going for her\u2014great job, fabulous apartment and a glamorous life half way across the country in sunny Los Angeles\u2014far away from my hometown and my family\u2019s bourbon empire. I\u2019ll be leaving after the weekend wedding festivities.<\/p>\n<p>That is until my best friend, Sage, finds herself in a jam and needs my help before jetting off on her honeymoon.<\/p>\n<p>So, I\u2019m staying in Mayfield a little longer than anticipated. In just a few short weeks, I\u2019ll march my happy ass back to the West Coast, far away from Tyler\u2019s smoldering gaze and his panty-melting smile. And the chemistry between us that burns hotter than a hickory stump.<\/p>\n<p>But the longer I\u2019m in town, the harder it is to stay away from him. And maybe I don\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25373 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/38948991-beautiful-march?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_16\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25375 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4il0OL2\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twinsieoftheday.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25390\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twinsieoftheday.jpg?resize=474%2C158\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twinsieoftheday.jpg?w=900 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twinsieoftheday.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twinsieoftheday.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Review by Polly<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">5 Splashes of Bourbon (oh I mean 5 Stars)<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">This contemporary friends to lovers story will have you wiping at your tears and jumping for joy before you even know what hit ya! Tyler and Haven\u2019s story is beautifully written and filled with tons of emotions, with everything between heartbreaking to heartwarming. There were even a few times I wanted to toss my Kindle.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Tyler Nichols is a businessman and restaurant owner in the small town of Mayfield, Kentucky, while Haven Cardwell is a publicist in LA and the bourbon heiress from the same small town. I totally love the chemistry between these two! Love the slow burning start\u2026..and then WHAM fireworks are going off like crazy!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Can these two make it a go? Maybe they can do the long distance thing? Will the gossip be too much to handle? Will the truth set them both free? Grab this book and find out for yourself!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">A bonus for me while reading this book \u2013 Grady James makes an appearance! If you have read other books by Ms. Pastore you will know that she does toss a few other characters from previous books into her new stories. Grady is my favorite, but Tyler Nichols is giving him a run for his money!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">This book will be marked as a favorite for 2019!<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>International Bestselling Author and self-proclaimed french fry addict, Christy Pastore writes sexy, contemporary romance books that contain no nonsense (mostly) heroines and swoony gentleman with a naughty side.
