TILL I KISSED YOU is the culmination of a story building
not only for the span of the two previous Cottonbloom
books, but for the lifetime of these characters. While
this can be read as a stand alone, I'll be honest and say
I think you'll be missing a lot. If you like small town
romances without saccharine, then I'd one-click this
whole series immediately and lose yourself in the world
Trentham has created here.
Since we met them, Sutton and Sawyer have been at each
other's throats with a rivalry for the ages. Each love
their Cottonblooms - a town in two states and divided by
a river very significant to our characters - and will do
whatever it takes for their town to win a contest.
However, when troubling events move north of rivalry to
sabotage, the two join forces to root out the culprit.
What ensues is a story of two adults who have to put
aside their pride and listen to their hearts.
I love Sutton as a heroine; her strength and fortitude
hiding a vulnerability that's hard to craft. Sawyer, for
his measure, is the last of his siblings to find that
happily ever after and I'm so glad he was last. His
particular character needed those other siblings settled
before he could entertain the notion - he needed their
stability and their example to understand what was
possible for him.
The town in this series is a living entity, as much a
character as the individuals we meet. I almost felt
myself lazily slap a mosquito and reach for my sweet tea
at Trentham's descriptions of the scenery. I was sad to
say goodbye to these people and would imagine this is a
series I'll be recommending far into the future.
It’s summertime in Cottonbloom, where two lovers find
themselves at a crossroads just as things start to heat up.
. .
Regan Lovell grew up on the wealthy Mississippi side of
Cottonbloom—and now, as mayor, she’s determined to save it
from the fate of so many small towns. Part of her plan to
help the local economy is the Labor Day tomato festival. If
only she wasn’t being undermined by Sawyer Fournette, who’s
planning a crayfish-themed celebration on the Louisiana side
of the river on the very same weekend. The pranks and
sabotage are getting out of hand, and she’s had it with
him—no matter how much she enjoyed those stolen hours in his
truck bed, so many years ago…
Sawyer knows that Regan's never forgiven him for breaking
her heart—but despite his reputation as a low-class swamp
rat, he’d never hurt the woman who still secretly drives him
crazy with desire. Someone in Cottonbloom has it out for
her, though, and Sawyer intends to watch her back…and the
rest of her too, if she can ever let go of her distrust. But
will a common enemy be enough to unite them—and finally
fulfill the promises they made one passionate night under
the stars?
