Is his on-again lover

plotting his downfall?

“Did you think I’d kiss you

and then agree to your terms?”

Back in town after sixteen years, Tennessee attorney Maty Taylor has to persuade her ex-lover—billionaire bourbon maker Sam Hawkins—to sell his priceless distillery. The stakes are high, since Maty’s being blackmailed to persuade him. Sensing trouble, Sam refuses the offer, even as renewed desire surges between them. But will his hidden agenda cost him a second chance with Maty?

Temptation galore! Returning with book two in her Lockwood Lightning series, Jules Bennett brings SCANDALOUS REUNION to life with the introduction of Maty Taylor returning to Green Valley after leaving Sam Hawkins 16 years ago. This reunion of first loves is quick to catch the reader’s eye as the characters are captivating and the plot development is fast paced. I’m looking forward to more in the series!

If you read the first book in the series you will be familiar with bourbon maker Sam from his interaction with Nick to try to take Rusty Lockwood down. He’s easy to connect with and earned my loyalty from the start.

Maty however has to redeem herself a little bit. She left Sam heartbroken years ago to pursue her career and now she’s back in town with the sole reason of convincing him to sell his beloved dream company because she’s being blackmailed.

I highly recommend this book and the series as a whole to anyone who enjoys a fast paced story line that involves romance, drama and a family saga in the making.
