A small-town, friends to lovers story is coming your way this spring.
Getting dumped sucks. Getting dumped by your boyfriend days before your best friend’s wedding? It doesn’t get much worse.
Did I mention that the guy who cut me loose was country music’s number one rising star?
And my client.
I thought I was walking into a proposal. Instead, I crashed right into humiliation—dumped and fired.
The silver lining? In a restaurant, there’s plenty of wine to drown my feelings.
In strolls Tyler Nichols, the restaurant owner. He’s 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.
Turns out, Tyler Nichols is my ex’s best friend. And according to the local gossips—mainly my cousin—he’s got a mysterious past.
No worries, I’m the gal with everything going for her—great job, fabulous apartment and a glamorous life half way across the country in sunny Los Angeles—far away from my hometown and my family’s bourbon empire. I’ll be leaving after the weekend wedding festivities.
That is until my best friend, Sage, finds herself in a jam and needs my help before jetting off on her honeymoon.
So, I’m staying in Mayfield a little longer than anticipated. In just a few short weeks, I’ll march my happy ass back to the West Coast, far away from Tyler’s smoldering gaze and his panty-melting smile. And the chemistry between us that burns hotter than a hickory stump.
But the longer I’m in town, the harder it is to stay away from him. And maybe I don’t want to.

Review by Polly
5 Splashes of Bourbon (oh I mean 5 Stars)
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’s 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.
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…..and then WHAM fireworks are going off like crazy!
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!
A bonus for me while reading this book – 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!
This book will be marked as a favorite for 2019!

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. Readers so overwhelmingly embraced one Wicked Gentleman, Jackson Hart specifically, turning many of her #AuthorGoals into a reality.
When Christy’s not turning her risqué thoughts into something worth reading, you’ll find her geeking out on all things pop culture, obsessively stalking Pinterest for home interior ideas, lunching with friends, or researching her next vacation destination.
She has strong opinions about folding laundry, fruity wines, the Oxford Comma, fashion, and mixed vegetables.
Christy lives in central Indiana with her husband and their three loveable cats, Cheeto, Dorito, and Brew. But as cute as they are, please send scratching posts asap because they’re slowly destroying the furniture.
