I can admit that for 2.5 seconds, I hesitated to start Gin Fling because of the continuing Callie Kendall mystery. It was a silly hesitation because I know that the mystery is not the main part of these stories but I find myself just wanting to get to the bottom of the mystery already. That 2.5 seconds that I hesitated was the only hesitation because once I started reading, I was sucked into Bootleg Springs like normal and loved the journey to love for Jonah and Shelby.
I can't believe we're coming to the end of the Bootleg Springs series. This town and its people are just so amazing, I really want to move there myself. I absolutely loved that Shelby's character was studying the dynamics of how this small town worked. If where I currently live had the same dynamics, I would be running for the hills. If I was living somewhere like Bootleg Springs, it would be awesome.
I really enjoyed getting to know Jonah and Shelby better. There was a lot to learn about these two and I loved seeing them share their vulnerabilities and communicate their concerns. It was surprising how well suited they were for each other. For crikey's sake, Shelby lived off dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets and Jonah is all about the grilled chicken and veggies. He's always doing things and she's always observing things. They were so mismatched but perfect together.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved Jonah but how hard would it be living with a personal trainer? Having someone monitor your eating habits, assess your exercise regime and constantly advising you on healthy choices would probably get a wee bit old. Then, you would also be living with someone who has a perfect body. I'm just not sure my ego could take it. Before I could commit to living with a personal trainer, I'd need physical proof that they can have off days. A pimple or bloated tummy would suffice, just something to make me feel better when I had an off day.
Now...Callie Kendall...
Well, I can still be surprised where this mystery is heading. New information has come to light from an unlikely source and I didn't see it coming. When Shelby's life was in danger, I loved that all of Bootleg Springs came together to protect one of their new initiates. We are so close to finding out the who, what, where and how's that I can't wait for the final reveal in Gibson's story.
I absolutely LOVE the Bootleg Spring series and Gin Fling was an excellent addition to the series. If you haven't tried it yet, I suggest you...start at the very beginning, a very good place to start...
