"I'm afraid my vagina might turn itself inside out if you try to give it another orgasm so soon." --Scarlett Bodine Raised by her three overbearing brothers, Scarlett is a hell-raising tomboy with a tool belt. A tornado stirring up trouble everywhere she goes. Her favorite pastimes? Drinking any man under the table and two-stepping. But she has zero interest in love. Scarlett's only being neighborly when she claims her sexy next-door neighbor as her new pet project. Devlin is a man at rock bottom. Marriage, political career, five-year plan to Washington, D.C. All destroyed with one well-placed jab. The golden boy is now the black sheep relegated to Bootleg Springs, a tiny West Virginia town with two claims to fame: 1. Moonshine and 2. The cold case disappearance of a teen girl. Devlin just wants to lick his wounds. But Scarlett has other ideas for his tongue... and the rest of him. She's determined to bring him back to life, even if getting him back on his feet means never seeing him again. But when an old mystery becomes new news, she'll need his help to survive the scandal.

Overall I liked this one - more than I expected to tbh. Scarlett is definitely an interesting character and I liked the dynamic between her and her brothers. I haven't spent time in West Virginia so I can't tell how much of the setting, dialogue, and WV small town life is rendered realistically vs stereotypically but regardless, I admit I enjoyed "Bootleg justice!" as a battle cry whenever folks took matters into their own (often fight-y) hands to solve problems. :)

I wasn't really expecting this one to take a hard turn into a mystery subplot so initially it felt like it came out of nowhere and felt inorganic to the main plot, but I suppose I got over it since I'd like to continue with the series. According to the notes in the back of the book, the mystery sub plot will span the entire series so if the idea of that annoys you, you've been warned.
