Synopsis

As the youngest son, TJ Laughlin has always had a lot to prove. His driven siblings could do no wrong in his parents’ eyes, and then there was TJ, who no matter what he accomplished he was never good enough. Although he was well loved, he always felt like they didn’t expect a lot out of him.Now the owner of The Stag distillery with his two best friends, TJ has found his calling: whiskey and weddings. If he could only get Jen Mackenzie, the girl he’s secretly had a thing for since high school, to take a chance on him, TJ’s life may finally start falling into place. Jen Mackenzie’s life has been anything but easy. Tied to this small town by an ill mother and her own broken dreams, Jen has felt stuck since the local community theater closed and she lost her job. Working at The Stag is her one saving grace, even though that means answering to TJ Laughlin, the one man who’s always made her feel inadequate. Used to standing on her own, Jen can take care of herself and her mother; but when TJ steps in to offer his support, will Jen be able to open up to the possibility of love?

About Nicole McLaughlin

Nicole McLaughlin wrote her first full-length book (six pages) about the birth of her baby sister, when she was eight years old. She only finished it because her mother bribed her with a Rick Astley cassette tape. Sad, but true. Now her characters are what keep her writing and her subject matter has gotten a little bit deeper and a lot more romantic. She resides in a small town outside Kansas City with her husband and three sons. When she isn’t writing, she’s a wedding and portrait photographer who loves to cook and watch historical dramas or documentaries.

Goodreads review by Heather on February 05, 2018

TJ's woman just frustrates him at times, "he slammed his hands down to his sides, hard enough to hold the covers down tight so that she could see the bulge below his waist. “This is the result of waking up next to you. Obviously, there is nothing repulsive about that idea.” TJ is not a bashful man,......more

Goodreads review by Book Gannet on February 26, 2018

Wow, someone has a chip on their shoulder. I think Jen was supposed to be a sympathetic character because her mother has cancer, she lost her dream job and she’s barely scraping by financially, but that aforementioned chip ruined everything. Because Jen feels incredibly hard done by, as if the world......more
