[Release Blitz] Small-Town Heart by Andrea Johnston

Synopsis

Without a plan in place and only a hundred dollars to my name, this big city girl born in a small town world headed for the bright lights of city life.

Four years later, I may have more money in my bank account, but somehow I’ve found myself back in another small town trying to build a life. Even though the residents of Fayhill have welcomed me like one of their own, this is only a detour, not a final destination.

Then I met Shane Abbott.

What’s a girl to do when a certain dark-haired dimpled cowboy, who fills out a pair of jeans like it’s his job with a smile that sets my soul on fire, has me considering burning my map?

The bright lights of city life never appealed to me. I like the quiet of small town life, and my hometown of Fayhill fits me to a T.

I never expected to meet Mercy Warner.

Love is the last thing on my mind. These days I work hard and mind my own business. So when a certain honey-haired spitfire blows into town, I take another look.

She may claim small town life isn’t for her, but the way she’s settling in tells me she might be open to the option. Refusing to let this opportunity to pass me by, I take another chance and put my small town heart on the line.

Surely the draw of the big city won’t burn me twice . . .

Excerpt

“Please don’t do this. Please, Gerty.” I sound pathetic—begging my twenty-something-year-old teal hatchback to live. Yes, live. I need my car to get her shit together and get me to Austin. Looking at the gauges, I plead with them to tell me what’s wrong. That’s wishful thinking since they stopped working a year ago and the little arrow things bounce without telling me anything.

“Come on, girl. Look, six miles. You can do it.” My words are encouraging. Okay, they aren’t really encouraging. They’re more like begging with a sprinkling of frustration and the lingering sounds of tears lacing each word.

Six miles and we’ll be in the town of Fayhill. If I’m lucky, Gerty will hold on for at least eight and allow me to get closer to the center of town. I’ve been to this town once before and, while it’s been at least ten years, I’m sure it hasn’t changed much. That’s the brilliance of small Texas towns: they don’t change much. It’s also why I left small-town Texas: they don’t change much.

I won’t cry. This isn’t a big deal. We’ve broken down before. Sure, it was in a town where I knew a lot of people. A town with taxis that could get me home if necessary. Home. I refuse to admit defeat. That “d” word is not in my vocabulary. I glance up in my rearview mirror and don’t see smoke billowing behind me; that’s good. And, because I was obviously a sinner in my past life and am being punished for said unknown sins, a puff of smoke appears in front of me.

Dammit to hell. I’m going to be stranded in Fayhill, Texas. Fayhill, population . . . well, I don’t know what the population is, but I’m sure it’s less than what I’m looking for as I start my new life.

Again.

Review

Oh, this book! I loved it. It totally reminded me of the small town my family lives in where everybody knows everything about everybody. The heart and community in this book is real and you can't help but love the town's heart. This book was full of laughs, swoon and love. Mercy and Shane might be two of my favorite characters to date.

I didn't read their story when it was published under Mercy and I'm slightly sad I missed out, but having read Small-Town Heart, I can say I love everything about Shane and Mercy.

I can't wait to see what 2019 brings us!

“I Do.” My name is Whitney Wheeler and I’ve dreamed of saying those two words since I was ten years old. I thought my dream was finally coming true. Fate, however, has other plans. My perfectly planned life hits a snag eight days before our wedding. I walk in on my fiancé on the couch with someone who isn’t me. Trying to “blow off” that visual, and without thinking, I accept an invitation to take a road trip with the boy who broke my teenage heart. Lucas DeCosta is all man, and surprise surprise—a male stripper. Beyond his movie-star good looks, his oh so sexy dance moves, and those big brown eyes, I find a kind heart and the overall goodness of the boy who still sets my heart on fire. Each time he looks at me, I feel it. Zing. Zang. Electricity. It. When life hands you lemons . . . take a shot of tequila and hand fate the keys to your life. Because, sometimes the best thing to say is “I Don’t” before you can ever say “I Do.”

Excerpt:

Slowly opening my eyes, I stretch my arms above my head and point my toes toward the bottom of the bed. It’s been a long time since I’ve slept that soundly. This bed must be made of angel wings or something, because it is heaven. Yep, I totally said that. I’m not even sorry. Glancing over, Lucas’s bed is empty with the covers pulled up like he made it. He makes his hotel bed. Who knew there were two of us? I always make my bed, even in a hotel. The room is quiet except for the sound of the shower running. Thoughts of Lucas showering send a shiver up my spine. A shiver I have no right to. A shiver that is highly inappropriate for an engaged woman, but a woman I am, and that man is sex personified, and I would have to be without a pulse to ignore him. Ignoring the full bladder begging me to barge in on his shower and relieve it, I instead grab my phone to check the time. It’s not too early, so I might as well bite the bullet and call my mom. The phone doesn’t make it a full ring before she’s answering in a huff. “Whitney Nicole. Where are you?” When Jessi or any of the girls use my full name, I’m okay with it. I find it funny. With my mom? Yeah, I’m eight years old again. “Momma.” That always makes her feel good. “Don’t you Momma me, Whitney. Where are you? Trenton is going insane with worry . . .” The rest of her rant is white noise at the realization the cheating bastard called my parents. How dare he? He knows damn well my mother will lose her mind if there’s a possibility this wedding isn’t happening. “Daughter? Are you there?” “Did you just call me ‘daughter’? Really, Mom?” “Cut the shit, Whitney. When are you coming home? Your wedding is in five days. There is too much to be done for you to have cold feet. Suck it up and get your ass home. Your cousins and the rest of the family start arriving tomorrow. You are not leaving me alone with Aunt Carla.” “Mother, she’s your sister.” “Yeah well, she’s a pain in the ass. Probably going to wear white. That would be just like her . . .” More white noise as she rambles on about my aunt and her need to be the center of attention. I love Aunt Carla and wouldn’t consider getting married without her there. With my phone nestled between my ear and shoulder, I start picking at my cuticle when a cloud of steam fills the room, and I look up to see Lucas walking in from the shower. Dressed in a pair of shorts and yet another snug T-shirt, he’s drying his hair with a towel, and when he catches my eye, a bright smile takes over his face. Zing. Zang. Electricity. It. “Are you listening to me?” My mom’s shrill draws my attention back to the call, and I hold my finger up to my lips telling Lucas to be quiet. With a nod, he turns back toward the bathroom, and I turn my attention back to my mother. A little arguing, a few promises, and a guarantee I will be back for the wedding day, my call with my mom ends. “It’s all clear.” Lucas returns to the room, the smile now a smirk as he arches a brow to me and says, “I feel like a dirty secret.” Rolling my eyes, I toss my phone on the bed and hop from the bed with the bathroom my mission. As I pass him, I tap his arm with a smile. “Not much dirty happening here but secret, yes.” As I enter the bathroom, I swear I hear him say something about getting dirty and a little flutter hits me right in the lower belly.

Review

Oh, did I love this story. I was full on giggling over Whitney and her set ways. But then again, I was full on laughing watching Lucas and Whitney FINALLY give in to their feelings that started back when they were 15. Was it easy? no. Was it hilarious to watch? Yes. Everything about the friends being involved to watching them FINALLY get together was just what I needed. I feel like Whitney discovered herself along this journey and that made her relationship and the years worth of feelings for Lucas even stronger. Due to the friendship they had first, this made their romantic relationship stronger and Lucas was able to woo Whitney with things he wanted to back in the day.

I loved everything about this story and am so glad I was able to read it.

Review

Oh, this series. I was so excited knowing we were getting Landon's book. It was so fitting for him and was exactly what I needed.

Addy is a divorced mom with a teenage son who is giving her serious grief. After a talk with Taylor (Hello Taylor and Country Road!) she decides to pack up and move to Lexington and oh am I glad she did.

Landon, oh sweet Landon, is trying to adjust to life as the only bachelor in his group of friends. His routine of always hanging out with the guys has changed with the introduction of the females in their lives. Because of this, Landon finds himself alone on NYE at the Country Road and oh am I glad he was! In walks Addy and life hasn't been the same for him since.

The relationship Addy and Landon have is amazing. Landon never cared for day one that she was older or that she was a single mom. Watching the two of them grow together and fall in love was one of my absolute favorite parts and I can say that I'm going with Landon is my favorite out of all the Country Road men. He loves openly and with a full heart. He didn't care that Addy had Mason, he didn't care about her age, and he just wanted her.

I can't wait for Taylor's story next!

Excerpt

“Babe, do you know where my anti-frizz serum is?” “Piper, why would I know where that is? I don’t use hair products.” “Ben.” She sighs. It’s a sweet sigh with a smile as she approaches me. Once her hands wrap around my waist, I mimic her move, tug her to me, and lower my lips to hers. After a few dozen kisses that leave her panting, I pull away and allow her to continue speaking. Instead, Piper stands before me, her eyes closed and her lips lifted to a smirk. “You had something to say, babe?” “Huh? Oh, yeah. How do you do that?” “What’s that?” I ask as I walk to the refrigerator and pull out a bottle of water, opening it and quickly finishing half of it off in one gulp. “Kiss me stupid. I know I had a question, but you do that and I forget my own name.” “Piper Sullivan.” “Gosh, I love when you say that.” Piper walks up to me and steals the bottle of water from my hands, taking her own sip before handing it back to me. “Only seven days. Anyway, you were asking about hair products. I don’t know where any of that is, but if it’s a serum, my sister probably has it. Witchy powers and all that,” I tease. Piper smacks my arm, which causes me to fake a flinch and turn my back toward her as though I’m protecting myself. “Be nice; that’s my best friend you’re making fun of.” “Oh, come on. If I can’t make fun of my own sister, what’s the point of having her? Besides, you know she’s been a little on edge lately. More so than usual. Are you sure we should’ve asked her to sing at the wedding?”

Exclusive Excerpt

This week has been particularly quiet in the office, and as much as I hate to admit it, I’d even take an encounter with Owen at this point. Yep, be careful what you wish for.

The door to the office opens and I sense him before I hear him. Maybe it’s that I smell him. Not smell in a gross way, but a way that is like some weird mating call. I’m sure there’s a name for that but I can’t think of it because there he is, walking toward me in a pair of khaki cargo shorts, a sleeveless T-shirt that, thanks to the sweat on his body, is clinging to his torso and chiseled chest, and a pair of sunglasses sitting atop his head. That smile I mentioned taking over his face as he gets closer to my desk has me quickly looking away in embarrassment. I know he can tell that he affects me. I know my tell-tale giveaway to embarrassment has completely taken over my arms, neck, and cheeks in a glorious shade of strawberry.

“Well, Miss Walker, fancy meeting you here.”

“Oh, hey.” I don’t take my eyes from my screen and very diligently read the same line over and over. Why does he make me nervous? I don’t get nervous.

“Here are some invoices for you and I signed off on the time cards for my crew.”

I finally lift my eyes from my screen to see Owen sitting in the chair in front of my desk, leaning back so he is rocking on the back two legs of the chair, with his arms crossed, and a smirk on his face. The same smirk he usually offers me before not so subtlety suggesting something flirtatious.

“Thanks. Checks will be ready Monday as usual. Was there anything else?”

“What’re your plans this weekend? Date with your boyfriend? Painting your nails with the squirt?”

Clicking the save icon on the spreadsheet I’m working on, I sit back in my seat, crossing my feet at the ankle while folding my arms, and contemplating how to answer this. He’s trying to get to know me and I promised myself I’d be open to new friendships. Owen Butler is a lot of things, and while I’m not sure he’s completely harmless, I doubt he’s much more than talk.

“No boyfriend,” I casually respond before whispering under my breath, “anymore.”

“What? Some schmuck let you go? What a loser.”

I snort out a laugh; I guess my whisper was louder than I thought. The more I’ve thought about my relationship with Kent, the more appropriate a word like “schmuck” is a perfect way to describe him. Boring, self-absorbed, career driven, and missionary style are also other ways.

“Well anyway, I’m actually going to just hang out this weekend. The girls are going with my parents and it’ll be the first time in weeks I’ve had time to myself. How about you? Got a date?”

Owen chokes on what I think was supposed to be a laugh, startling me a little while simultaneously sending a little shiver down my spine to my lady bits. His voice is deep and gravelly, as is his attempt to laugh, almost like he doesn’t do it very often and his vocal cords don’t know how to respond.

“Yeah, I don’t date. Hook up maybe, but dating indicates I’m interested in a relationship and that’s not the case.”

“I hear ya. A relationship is the last thing on my mind these days.”

We sit in silence for a few ticks before Owen clears his throat and rests his chair on all four feet. I follow suit by sitting up more in my chair and grabbing my mouse. A few clicks and Owen stands and then taps the top of my monitor.

“You should call the girls.”

I look up at him, slightly confused, but not before acknowledging the sweat has dried from his torso while his shirt still clings to his skin. He must notice my gaze has lingered a little longer than necessary because he offers me that smirk again.

“Sorry, the girls - Piper and Ashton. Me and the guys are heading to the lake for a little fishing so I’m sure they’re around.”

“Oh." The realization of how much my life has changed in the last few months struck me; when he said “the girls,” I thought of my nieces. "Yeah, uh, maybe.”

“Well, all right then. Have a good weekend, Minnesota. See ya next week.”

I don’t bother asking Owen to not call me by my full name. I know he knows it’s not my preference. And honestly, for whatever reason, it doesn’t bother me when he says it. I would never tell him that, but it’s true.

Review

**4.5 Stars**

Oh, how I love this series! Andrea Johnston brings us book 3 in the Country Road series and it was perfect. I love everything about the titles in this series, they are so fitting for the characters and Martini's & Moonlight was no exception.

Owen and Minnie's book was amazing. You saw bits and pieces of them in Tequila and Tailgates and I knew their story was going to good, I just didn't realize how good. The chemistry between these two is off the charts and watching them figure out of they should give in or not was amazing. Neither one is prepared for the attraction. Owen doesn't believe in love or relationships and Minnie just got out of a relationship and has her hands full, so she isn't looking for a relationship.

Watching these two was fun. It was just what I needed and their story fit in so well with the other books in the series. The title is perfect. It fits Minnie to a tee and watching Owen grasp that about her was perfect for their story.

I can't wait for Landon's story, I hope we get one!

**4.5 stars**

So, in true awesomeness of myself, I read this after reading book 2, Tequila and Tailgates. This is book one in the Country Road series, but I felt the books could be read independently of each other. There was no doubt after reading book 2 that I could read Bentley and Piper's story and oh am I ever glad I did.

Bentley has recently moved back to his home town after having been away for college and his previous relationship. So, when he finds himself with his buddies at the Country Road Bar, he finds himself staring at some gorgeous female he can't take his eyes off of and one he can't wait to introduce himself. When he realizes the gorgeous woman is Piper, his little sister's best friend, things chance or do they? I loved Bentley as character. He had a side I was dying to see and Andrea delivered. He showed Piper how important she was to him and that he wanted her and explore what their connection was. He gave her the space when she asked for it, but he never stopped loving her.

Piper has always crushed on her best friends brother Bentley. So when he kisses her it was everything and more. Piper is the character who I just want to crawl in through my kindle and love. She is gorgeous and has an amazing guy who wants to be with her, the only problem is she can't star out of her head. She is scared that she isn't enough and scared she'll lose not only her best friend but Bentley as well I'd something so goes wrong. I loved Piper and who is she. I loved watching her grow and accept her feelings for Bentley.

Bentley and Piper's story was just what I needed and I'm so glad I went back and read their story. I'm hoping we get to see Landon and Owen's stories next.

Four years ago, I took the biggest risk of my life and it blew up in my face. I learned my lesson – love sucks. Now self-preservation and protecting my heart have become second nature. But Jameson Strauss... he's my weakness. Give me the occasional shot of tequila, a game of Truth or Dare, and I’ll do almost anything for that man. * Four years ago, I didn’t follow my heart. I let the one girl that consumed my soul walk away without a fight. Now I go through the motions never truly living. But, the day Ashton Sullivan needed me was the day my world changed for the better. Tequila, truths, and the occasional dare are all I need to show her how good we can be. Sometimes the truth is in the dare.
*This book may be read as a standalone but may also contain spoilers. Not intended for anyone under the age of 18*

**4.5 Stars**

This is book 2 in the Country Road series, but you can read it as a standalone if you're okay with missing tiny pieces of a story from Ashton's brother Bentley and her best friend Piper. Their story is in Whiskey & Honey, which is book 1.

Ashton and Jameson have always had this strange attraction to each other, but they've never acted upon it except one night and then things changed. I love the attraction between these two. I love the chemistry you can sense from page 1, even when they try to mask it as hate for each other. There are times you start laughing because of their stubborn personalities.

After a tree lands on Ashton's parents house while they are on vacation, she is subject to moving in with Jameson while his construction business fixes the house. This is where the story starts and end. Having them live together was one of the best things that could have happened to their relationship. I enjoyed watching their relationship go through all the stages it did. You learn to love them each more as characters and you see them grow.

I loved their story. I hope we get more from this series, because I have a feeling Jameson and Bentley's friends have their own stories.
