Knocking Boots

We were never meant to be together. He’s a bartender with noncommittal tendencies. I’m looking for … the opposite. Commitment. Period. But drinks and a bet led to something it shouldn’t have: a fake relationship. Worse, a first date, a first kiss… and then more. He’s addictive and I can’t bring myself to accept the reality. That it’s all a lie and I’m fooling myself by thinking he could want more. That I could change him. He’s mine for as long as I keep on pretending like this is just for fun. As if I don’t want more… Like when he whispers my name, I pretend it doesn’t make my heart flip. Like when he holds me at night, I pretend I don’t want to lay in his bed every night. It's just a bet; just a lie... until it isn't.

Oh be still my black heart. Knocking Boots has got to be one of the sweetest books I’ve read. I normally don’t go for small town romances or wistful stories but this completely won me over. Grace wanting nothing more to settle down and start a family tries to keep a cap on her growing crush on Charlie, the country boy with the green eyes to die for. Owner of the bar outside of town Charlie is no where near ready to commit after a past he’s not quite let go of but is it worth letting the adorably sexy Grace slide right through his fingers? These two are a match made in romance heaven. They made my heart melt causing me to literally “awww” out loud at parts. Their love is pure, passionate and all consuming. Charlie is as sweet as peach pie yet so deliciously dirty once he has Grace in his hands. He will light you up way faster than you thought possible. As you read you know that it’s heading straight for happily ever after but it’s not boring. It’s uplifting, making you smile while at the same time staying true to that Willow Winters fire, simply a must read.

I go after what I want, and what I want right now, more than wanting the bar to be stable, is her.

“Is that how you say thank you for donuts all the time?” he asks mildly. “I could add these to the menu.”
