I loved this idea of four friends finding love in the same small town. Each book was heartfelt. This book was the reverse "May-December" romance which I loved. I wish it was done more. Landon and Addison were perfect for each other and proved that age truly is nothing but a number. I like the sly little mentions of Grey's Anatomy and the author's humor.
I look forward to the fifth book that I is about a character that I've grown to like and wanted to know more about.

Bourbon & Bonfires is everything you could want in a book. I've been waiting patiently for Landon and Addison's book, and it did not disappoint. Slightly older female who doesn't want to start over but realizes it might be time. Slightly younger man who is ready to settle down and has his eyes set on someone special. A teenager who doesn't know what to do with himself. The perfect amount of drama. The words are beautifully written. This story will grab in your heart and give you all the feels.

It isn't often that you find a romance with a reverse age gap. I really enjoyed it. Everybody deserves to find love, no matter what age.
This is the story of Landon and Addison. Landon is tired of being the odd man out in his friend group. He is ready to find a woman and settle down. Addison is a single mother to a teenage boy. Her ex-husband is no role model for her son. She decides to move to Lexington to be close to her brother, Taylor. She isn't looking for love, but sometimes love founds you when you least expect it.
Bourbon & Bonfires is the perfect book to snuggle up and read. It is part of the Country Road series, but can certainly be read as a standalone. Reading a Country Road novel is like visiting old friends. I can't wait for the next story.

The story of Landon and Addison brings us back to the basics of contemporary romance. This story is everything that I love about contemporary romance, it’s everything I love about love. It’s the small things that mean the very most - the support for one another, the encouragement, the Netflix on the couch. It’s all so real, and exactly how my marriage is on a daily basis. I saw myself in Addison and my husband in Landon. It was beautiful.
Don’t get me wrong - I love a good sexy hot com or a secret baby story, just as much as the next reader. You won’t find any of that here. This book is real life. It’s a place where insecurity is prevalent and parenting is formative. It’s a book where real life hits just as hard as it does for us real humans, and that makes it so much more fantastic to read and really fall for this couple.
I fell for Landon so hard during this story; you kind of see him mature and grow up from the beginning to the end with the responsibilities he takes on. He’s a true man, in the most pure sense of the word. He’s strong, handsome, and has his head on straight. But he’s also got a heart the size of Texas, and has no qualms falling for the right woman; no matter the circumstances of her life.
Addison was so easy to relate to - her insecurities play a huge part in her relationship with Landon, for good reason. It was so humbling to see those issues come though, and how Landon dealt with them was just awe inspiring. Every man should want to be a Landon.
This book was the best way to end this series. Landon is the last country road guy to find his happily ever after, and I think he’s hooked a good one. I am so sad that it’s over, but look forward to what the author has in store for us in the future! Make sure to read the authors note at the end when you’re done reading!

I've read The Break Series by Andrea and absolutely loved them, no surprise that I would love this one. It's a story about a true love, a love that most people have on a everyday basis with their s/o, it's a story about everyday life.
Mason, oh boy does she ever do him justice, After getting in trouble again his mother Addison and him move to be closer to his Uncle Taylor, hoping Taylor would be a better role model to Mason compare to his not their father.
Addy then starts to get to know Landon (the last of the country boys to finally settle down),she's hesitate at the start to let him in and get to know him she's looking out for Mason who has been hurt before and she doesn't want that to happen again, but once the walls start coming down and these two bond Landon is more than ready to have his happily ever after with Addy. Will a few obstacles thrown their way change the outcome? Will they have their happily ever after, I guess you're going to have to read it to find out.
It's not a book that you will won't to miss, and it's easy a book that your not going to want to put down either so prepare for an all-nighter, and love the story about Addison and Landon

I have loved every book in this series. Seems I love each one more than the last. This is no exception.
Addy - a divorced mom trying to work and raise her teenage son with basically no help from the ma who fathered him. There are some issues and she moves to be near her brother, Taylor, for support (yep, THAT Taylor!)
Landon - the lone Bachelor friend of the Country Roads bro-hood.
We had already seen some sparks in a previous book, but the bonfire between them really ignites!
There are some issues, some baggage & a few misunderstandings along the way, but this is a story you won’t want to miss.
Gotta give some props to Mama Montgomery for adding some humor to the story. And to the author for writing Mason as a realistic teenage boy. He might be my favorite character!
Now give me Taylor’s story already!!

Book 4 of A Country Road Series
Landon Montgomery is the lone bachelor in his circle of friends. His best friend and roommate even found the love of his life. Now, Landon is stuck with blind dates that his mother is arranging. How did his life get so pathetic? He is ready to find that certain special someone. Too bad that every blind date ends with zero sparks. His father just handed him half of the HVAC business--a business he really doesn't want nor knows how to properly run. He would much rather be working in his workshop creating furniture and other creative pieces out of wood. His woodworking side business is beginning to pick up to the point that he has to at least hire someone to help him out. Mason, a fourteen year old nephew of Taylor's and the son of the woman Landon has a crush on. From the moment Landon laid eyes on Addy, he knew she was something special. He only spoke to her for a few minutes during Ben and Piper's wedding. She moves to Lexington to be closer to Taylor.
Addison Sinclair has been a single mother for the last four years when her ex-Dan decided he didn't love her anymore. Dan has been extremely hands off when it comes to helping with Mason even when Mason gets in trouble with the law and is suspended from school. Addy decides to move to Lexington where her little brother owns the bar Country Road. She spends her first New Years at his bar mesmerized by the handsome Landon who dances and kisses her at midnight. It is a magical night. Thank God she came to her senses before she was too caught up in the fantasy especially since Landon is so much younger than her. He is a few years younger than her brother! There is no way that she can start a relationship with someone that much younger than her. I mean, it is eight years! Landon makes it really hard to resist him when he's so caring to her son. He fulfills the role of father without a second thought. Is she really ready to start a new family with Landon and Mason? Mason even calls Landon her boyfriend...why can't she catch up to how her two men feel about her and each other?

Bourbon & Bonfires is the fourth book in Andrea Johnston’s Country Road series, but it works perfectly fine as a standalone novel. I read it without having read the prior books in the series, and I was not at any disadvantage. It is one of those interconnected series where the characters pop up throughout the books, but each individual novel has a start and end point for the romance.
Bourbon & Bonfires was exactly what I was looking for – a quick and enjoyable sweet contemporary read. It had all you could want from such a book – great characters, a fun romance, emotion, some laughter, and a story that leaves you addicted from the start until the end. It was one of those stories where I went in expecting to read a couple of chapters, only to power through it as I could not wait to see how everything came together.
You see, the romance gripped me hard. It was such a sweet story, yet it dealt with real concerns. I fell in love with the characters, I fell in love with the way their story played out, and I could not put the book down. Pages were being flipped, sentences absorbed, my desperation to find out more leaving me unable to turn away. There is no other way to say it – this one hooks you, hard.
I’m certainly interested in grabbing Whiskey & Honey, Tequila & Tailgates, and Martinis & Moonlight to find out more about the side characters that interested me so much. I’m also interested in any future books that tell the stories of any of the side characters who have not had their story told yet, as I came to really enjoy the cast in this one.
Certainly a worthwhile read.
