BLURB

Some describe me as a quirky, free-spirited journalist who charges her crystals by moonlight.
They’re not wrong.

My instincts ensure I know everything that goes on in my small town. And not much surprises me. But when the man who destroyed my heart returns to care for his family’s business, I’m shaken to the core.

After our messy breakup, Hayden Shaw swore he’d never come back to Valentine, Texas.
Years later, I’m still trying to forget we ever existed.
Damn near impossible when he’s now everywhere.
A constant reminder of what could have been.

Rumors swirl about his true intentions, but a little gossip has never bothered me.
However, if winning over my heart is his end game, he can hang up his spurs because I won’t make the same mistake twice—or will I?

Spill the Sweet Tea is a second chance, brother’s best friend, hate to love you, grumpy/sunshine contemporary small-town southern romance with rom-com vibes and a happily ever after. Each book in the Valentine Texas series is a stand-alone. Warning: this romance book contains tons of southern sass, lots of woo-woo, and small-town gossip! Fade to black and cheating are not included.


MY REVIEW


They say her ex is back in town for her, to get her back. Kinsley knows better, though, and even if it were true, she doesn't care, because Hayden isn't getting a second chance to break her heart. No, not this time, not again! But she may have underestimated the affect he still has on her heart, and her body, because Lord help her, but she's starting to weaken around him...


Hayden may have only come back home for his parents' sakes, but seeing Kinsley again is making him realize what he's been missing in the city. She may not be ready to let him back into her heart, but she's never left his, and he's going to let her know. A second chance will be his, even if he has to wait forever for it.


I think I want to visit Valentine, TX. The women are sassy and sweet with big hearts. The men are cocky and swoony. And the way they fall in love is why I love reading contemporary romance so much - with heart and passion and witty, funny dialogue. Hayden and Kinsley are adorable, and I can't wait for the next Valentine couple to fall head over heels now.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
