When the new girl in town, Eliza Izzy Forrester decides to hit the local drinking hole, shes not ready to meet the towns good, solid guy. Shes definitely not prepared to engage in her very first hookup with him. Then Izzy wakes up the next morning in Johnny Gambles bed and good girl Izzy finds she likes being bad for Johnny. Even so, Izzy feels Johnny holding her at arms length. But Johnny makes it clear he wants more and Izzy already knows she wants as much of hot-in-bed, sweet-out-of-it Johnny Gamble. Floating on air thinking this is going somewhere, Izzy quickly learns why Johnny holds distant. Hes in love with someone else. Someone who left him and did it leaving him broken. Whoever was up next would be runner up, second best. Knowing the stakes, Izzy will take what she can get from the gentleman thats Johnny Gamble. And even knowing his heart might never mend, Johnny cant seem to stay away from Izzy. Until out of nowhere, his lost love comes back to town. Hes not going back, but Johnny still knows the right thing to do is let Izzy go. And Izzy knew the stakes, so she makes it easy and slips though his fingers. But thats before Johnny realizes Eliza moved to town to escape danger thats been swirling around her. And thats why Johnny decides to wade in. That and the fact Eliza Forrester makes breakfast with a canary singing on her shoulder and fills out tight dresses in a way Johnny Gamble cannot get out of his head.

This was just a fun book to read. Low angst (for an Ashley book) and lots of laughs. Izzy and Johnny were so sweet together. The love triangle thing was not a big deal which was my concern going in. Overall it wasn‘t a favorite book by her, but it was still a fantastic contemporary romance.

Just don‘t. This is not worth the time. I tend to expect fun, fast, and ridiculous with KA, but this was brutal. I semi liked the heroine, but I also wanted to bop her. This is a total bail.

I gave this one a try because authors like Colleen Hoover got me to see romance and new adult novels as more than the embarrassing fare I assumed for years they all were. I also tried this because it was a Goodreads finalist in the Romance category. Unfortunately at 23% in I had to bail because I just can‘t deal with overly macho characters who quietly control women. Why women like characters like that I‘ll never know, I‘m just not one of them.

I‘m trying this one out as it‘s got high ratings on Goodreads and is even a semi finalist in this year‘s best romance category. 🤞

Great escape! Always fun immersing myself in a romance with Ashley‘s alphas with a little something extra. The depth and dialogue that she gives her men is always a treat! #romantsy

Celebrating a great 90 day review at my new job! I don‘t know why I was so stressed but a Kristen Ashley romance and a glass of wine is the perfect way to end the day. #currentread #romantsy

Fu, sexy book from Kristen Ashley. They are all the same but I don‘t care. They are good if you want an escape.

I stayed up wayyy too late last night getting into this one. I think I'm like 30% into it. I have't read #romance in awhile and I'm loving Johnny Gamble! #steamyreads #springreads #adultcontent

I love Kristen Ashley but for the past few years her new books and new characters just don‘t sparkle as much as they did before. I feel like she just changed the names and location and that‘s her story.

This time around I felt the conflict that happened was weak and thrown in to make the hero and heroine fall more in love, which wasn‘t necessary. I do hope Addie and Tony get their own book though.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am a huge Kristen Ashley fan. Kind of wish I was at home so I can read her new book without interruptions. I‘ll try to sneak in some pages while working. 😆
