*`Review: Bourbon Sunset by Walker Rose`*
Title: Bourbon Sunset
Series: Bourbon Canyon #7
Author: Walker Rose
Release Date: June 3, 2025
REVIEW:
5 Stars
Now this is the first book I've read from this series & author and you better believe I'm going back to read the rest. This author has gained a new reader! I loved this book so much. Even though it's the last book in the series and haven't read the pervious books I never felt lost. It just made me fall even more for Mae and her kids. I could hardly put it down. The depth of emotion these characters brought especially Maddy. Life has been really rough on her. It made me so happy to see Teller and his wonderful family surround her with their love and support. It's not easy for Maddy to trust, but Teller makes himself so swoony when he keeps showing up and proving himself he is worthy of her trust. The last chapter made me so happy to see where Maddy and Teller have ended up, but mostly to see Maddy living her best life. Nothing to me as a reader was more important than that to see Maddy shining so bright. Fantastic cast of characters. Loved the matriarch of the Family Mae so much. The way she gives motherly love to Maddy is something special about Mae. The epilogue was so fitting. I can't wait for more from this author!
BLURB:
Teller Bailey is the last single son in a Montana bourbon empire. He’s also arrogant, infuriating, and unfairly handsome with his beard and flannel.
Everyone in town loves him. Everyone in town detests me.
I’m “Mad Maddy” Townsend, the only surviving daughter of Bourbon Canyon’s most reviled family. I’m also mouthy, broke, and spectacularly alone.
I’ve wanted nothing more than to get away from this small town and their opinions of me since birth, yet I’m stuck here with nothing but a trashed dive bar and a shoestring budget to get it back in business—or my mom will be evicted from her nursing home.
But there isn’t a contractor in the county who’ll return my calls, at least without including a few four-letter words in their messages. My only hope for competent help is the annual bachelor auction featuring the town’s most eligible Bailey. The prize? One project completed for the highest bidder.
I must be every bit as crazy as this town thinks to bid on Teller. The man I can’t stand will be mine until I’m ready to serve my first drink. All I have to do is not fall for his charming smile, his unyielding support, or the way his name opens all the doors slammed in my face. I’ve never been treated so well, but I know how this goes. When this job is finished, he’ll ride off into the bourbon sunset—without me, just like everyone else in my life.

*`Review: When Love Found Us by Claudia Y. Burgoa`*
Title: When Love Found Us
Series: The Timberbridge Brothers #3
Author: Claudia Y. Burgoa
Release Date: June 11, 2025
REVIEW:
4 Stars
This is the third book in the series. I didn't think anyone could beat Hopper, but man Atlas gave him a run for his money. I love Atlas' protectiveness with Blythe. My heart went out to Blythe for everything she has been through in life. It keeps coming with the hits, but her stop in the small town of Birchwood Springs will prove to be the best one. Trusting Atlas to be a safe haven for her is the top one yet. They will be tested because the trouble already facing this small town is going to get bigger. Atlas is going to make you swoon with how protective he is of not only Blythe, but her unborn baby. Atlas is the black sheep of the family, but he is in my opinion the one with the biggest heart. I was not pleased with his brother Ledger and how he was towards Blythe. My heart was so happy for Blythe because she gains such a support system that she so deserves. She doesn't have to face anything alone anymore. Oh my gosh the epilogues in this one just made my heart melt. Exactly what these two characters deserved after the roller coaster ride they went through.
BLURB:
From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a deeply emotional small-town romance about a runaway heiress, a tattooed protector, and the marriage that was never supposed to be real—until love found them anyway.
He was never supposed to love her—especially not her baby.
I didn’t plan on ending up in Birchwood Springs.
But after escaping a brutal marriage and discovering I’m pregnant, this town—and the broody tattoo artist who swore to protect me—might be the only shot I have at starting over. Atlas Timberbridge is nothing like the world I left behind.
He’s all inked arms, gruff silence, and an unexpected gentleness that makes my heart ache.
Pretending we were married was for my protection.
A temporary arrangement meant to keep me hidden from my vicious husband.
We agree to keep it strictly business. No feelings. No future.
But the longer I stay, the more this small town—and this man—start to feel like home.
Now I’m falling for my fake husband… and terrified he’ll never be able to love me back.
Because small towns have long memories.
And secrets don’t stay buried forever.
