Fresh Fiction Review

Women's Fiction Contemporary

June Augustine is in the process of starting her own bar business. But a little legal misstep has her stuck in Sultry Springs, Texas for at least a month where she has to do community service at Helping Hands. As she temporarily moves in with her grandmother, June encounters her childhood best friend, Luke Gallagher whom is looking way better than he did as a scrawny kid. Luke can't believe his eyes when he sees June again. More so, he can't wrap his head around the fact that for the next few weeks she will be helping with the house he is repairing. Forced to work together and reconnect, Luke is suddenly remembering their good times together and doubting his decision to leave her in the first place. With a second shot at love, June and Luke learn more about each other, revealing authentic vulnerabilities and insecurities that create a solid platform for a relationship. Macy Beckett creates a great hero. Luke is warm, a little broody and fun - the perfect combination for a swoon worthy heartthrob. Beckett also introduces, Trey, Jake's best friend in a way that has me pining for the next book! If Beckett continues writing like this, she will have a loyal fan in me. SULTRY WITH A TWIST is a shining debut from Macy Beckett!

SUMMARY

When Mae-June July Augustine hightailed it out of Sultry Springs, Texas, with her heart in pieces, she swore she'd never return. But nine years later, one thing stands between June and her dream of opening an upscale martini bar: a month of community service under the supervision of the devilishly sexy Luke Gallagher, her first love and ex-best friend. As lust turns to love, June must decide where she belongs: in the glorious anonymity of Austin or back in Sultry Springs with the man who intoxicates her like no other.
