The latest book in the author’s “North Carolina Highlands” series is something you should have on your end-of-summer reading list.
It has everything you could want in a book, plus the cutest two-year-old imaginable.
But honestly, as this is book four, you should start at the beginning with Southern Seducer -I promise, you will absolutely fall in love with the Beauregard family. And you’ll get all of the juicy backgrounds on the other brothers!
Here is my Goodreads review of this book.
Southern Playboy by Jessica Peterson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Every time I read a new entry in this series, I feel like the Beaumont family is welcoming me back home. At the very least, a consistent reader is an old friend of the family who is privy to all of the drama…and love. This time, the author has outdone herself, covering familiar tropes of single dad, second chance, hot boss/nanny, athlete hero…it may sound like a lot, but it all works together to make for an engaging and sexy read. I liked that Rhett and Amelia had a history as teens; the slow burn of what would happen between them as adults was just that much sweeter. I thought that the conflict facing Rhett, while realistic within the plot, could have been fleshed out a little more – maybe by Miguel being just a little bit more annoying or pestering. But that is a minor complaint. Liam is by far one of the cutest kids ever and I loved how the author built the family, allowing each member to realize it on their own time. And the truck scene is one of the hottest in recent memory. But the author writes more in-depth; I especially enjoy the big family scenes. I also sincerely hope that Millie gets her story told next – if only so we can see Liam and Maisie interact more. I think those two will become thick as thieves. Great book, fun read.
