She kept pushing him away… Until the Tequila

You don’t know how lucky you are until you compare your stories to others. As a kid, I thought I had the toughest gig in the world. My parents had a hardware store and I worked in it every weekend and most school holidays. As an adult, I now realise that I was so bloody lucky. I have good work ethics, know my bibs and bobs, and finished school with money in my bank account. Until the Tequila was another friendly reminder of how lucky I am. My parents love me and I never once had to rely on strangers to put a roof over my head or keep me fed and clothed. Mary, and to some extent Evan, weren’t so lucky and reading about their childhoods made me appreciate my good fortune.

Mary has been pushing away Evan’s advances for a long time. She’s not willing to put her heart on the line, especially with someone she knows she could end up loving. Evan has had his eye on Mary FOREVER, but it wasn’t until the tequila that he gets the opportunity to know her better. With a hangover to beat all hangovers and a few gaps in her memory, Mary is ready to run. The very sexy Evan is in hot pursuit and Mary realises running or pushing him away is not going to happen.

I’ll be honest, novellas don’t always work for me but somehow, Brynne Asher always leaves me satisfied. There’s enough storyline, character building and sexy times to grab and hold my interest from start to finish. Sure, I’d love it to be longer as I would have loved a little more depth to the characters. I wanted to see a few of Evan's attempts to win Mary over or to have seen her vulnerable and sharing her secrets. I understand why, as it is a novella, but once I start a Brynne Asher, I always want more.

In Until the Tequila we get to catch up with a few Killers who I’ve met before and loved. This is a prequel to The Killers, right before Addy and Crew are together. It’s made me want to go back for a Vines/Killers revisit.

If you’re looking for a quick treat that leaves you happy, I highly recommend giving Until the Tequila a go. It’s got all your bases covered…a lovable heroine, a sexy and protective hero, a touch of action and enough heat to see their connection.
