It has all the southiness you could ever want. This is set in West Virginia, but it could almost be set in any small town in the South. I am on pins and needles waiting for the next book! If I could give this more than five stars, I would.
You are going to fall in love with Scarlett and her brothers and with Devlin. I just can’t wait for you all to meet the Bodine clan. I think I experienced the most hilarious baseball game I have ever seen. There was also so much hilarity in this crazy town. Devlin was so broken and I loved watching him come back to life. Somehow, that accomplishment felt bigger and more important than any other success I’d achieved in my old life.” She was happiness and fun and sweetness rolled into one tiny package. “She’d managed to rebuild me, brick by brick, into someone different than I’d been before. “Scarlett made me feel like I was both powerful and powerless.” She picked up the pieces and put him back together again, only when the pieces came back together, he was different, better, happier. Oh so slowly, Scarlett brought Devlin back to life. They just sort of filled in all of each other’s empty places. “I had awakened the dragon, and now he was going to consume me.” What she didn’t know, was that he just might save her right back. As soon as Scarlett saw him, she knew she wanted to save him. When he came to town, he was depressed and down trodden. Wait for someone else to do something wrong to get the focus off of him. The idea was to get him out of sight, let things die down. So he has been temporarily exiled to Bootleg Springs to his grandmother’s house. Until he let his temper and his fist ruin everything. And they did a perfect job with Scarlett.ĭevlin McCallister was on the political fast track in Annapolis. It’s so hard for an author to write a woman who is tough but still soft around the edges, so she’s not too brash. She’s a tough talking, moonshine guzzling spitfire of a woman. She has her own handy man (woman) business. Scarlett is a woman who can do just about anything. I have to give the author so much credit. Scarlett has pretty much been raised by her three older brothers. They did have one huge crime, though, over ten years ago, when a teen age girl disappeared while walking home. Nothing ever happens in Bootleg Springs except gossiping. Her mother died several years before and she made Scarlett promise she would not get married until she was thirty years old. She has lived her entire life in Bootleg Springs, West Virginia. Where the liquor flows and the neighbors know your every move.” It is everything I hoped it would be and so much more!! There are going to be six books in all, each about a different couple but with one mystery running throughout the series. I loved it from the first page until the last. So let me say this first…WOW WOW WOW! This book was amazing. I’ve read several of Claire’s books but this is my first time with Lucy. Whiskey Chaser is book one in the brand new series, Bootleg Springs, by both Lucy Score and Claire Kingsley.
