One night? No strings? A sexy game of chess? No problem.
If you've never read a Penny Reid book before, this is the place to start! An all new series starter snack from the author of the WINSTON BROTHERS and KNITTING IN THE CITY series. . .
Raquel Ezra loves to fish. With so many fish in the sea, she’s never had a problem baiting the hook or reeling them in. Raquel is a good actress, she can be anyone’s fantasy for a single night as long as they agree to be hers. Which is why she doesn’t think twice about spending an evening in nowhere Tennessee with a smokin’ hot, well-mannered, and intriguing sheriff’s deputy by the name of Jackson James.
Except, when the time comes, Raquel discovers that reality might just be better than any fantasy, and maybe she’s not ready to release this catch.
JUST FOLKING AROUND is a 16k words, contemporary romance, a complete standalone, and is the prequel to TOTALLY FOLKED, book #1 in the Good Folk: Modern Folktales series.
Deputy Sheriff Jackson James has been on the fringes of many Winston Brothers stories. He’s always seemed like such a great guy and has missed out on love, so when I heard he was getting his own book, Totally Folked, I was more than a little excited. Just Folking Around is the novella prequel. It’s a bit of a tease; an appetizer; an amuse bouche, if you will; a small taste of things to come. Spicy sexytimes things, if this book is any indication.
Hollywood bombshell Raquel Ezra only plans to be in Green Valley for one day. This is the story of how she meets Jackson James and the day they spend together. It is told entirely from her point of view.
I already like Raquel. Despite being a famous star with a confident demeanor, she has some insecurities and a quirky inner monologue that is constantly running through her mind. Jackson is devastatingly charming. Things are electric between the pair right from the start. Raquel and Jackson have inexplicable insta-lust, but I believed in the electric connection the two have. I just wish I knew more about what specifically attracts them to each other, beyond the physical. I did love how they manage to turn mundane things into fun adventures.
I can already tell communication is going to be a big issue with these two, which tends to drive me nuts, but I need to know what happens next! I can’t wait to get my hands on Totally Folked.
