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.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
