Southern Bombshell by Jessica Peterson

Wonderfully brilliant, bless their food lovin, poetry quotin, boozy little country hearts y'all! This is Milly's story, and if you read her brothers' stories you were waiting for this one, but even if you hadn't you can start here if you want and still be 100% invested (though you WILL want to know her brothers stories so why wouldn't you start there?) either way you are sure going to love Millie and Nate's story. Millie is very type A, compartmentalized, convinced she doesn't have TIME for love, always go, go, go. I guess she never heard the all work and no play theory. Nonetheless she is a wedding planner and agrees to plan the wedding of Nate (her 'one that got away'). Nate is a people pleaser, and the 'responsible for everyone else's happiness so no time for his own' type. He's in a very good partnership, ready to tie the knot with someone who is a great fit on paper, but they lost their spark long ago if they ever had one, and it just takes them both a long time to realize it. There is family drama (though no cheating just in case thats on your no-no list), lots of food, lots of booze, and a LOT of steamy stuff on the way to this well earned HEA. These two are so great together, and you are really going to feel like you are right there on the mountain with them. Always one of my favorite authors because of the emotions she invokes, I can't wait to see where she takes us next! (I do hope we revisit Reese at some point though, I liked her and it took guts to do what she did)
