Release Blitz: Tequila High (100% Proof, book #1) by M. Leighton + 5* review

Title: Tequila High

Series: 100% Proof, book #1

Author: M. Leighton

Release Date: November 18, 2018

Synopsis

Haley Brandt isn’t the one-night-stand type, but too much tequila and a man with two sinfully dark eyes left her breathless and willing to break her own rules. Her only solace was the fact that she’d never see him again.

Until the next morning, when she finds out he’s her ride out of town and back to the ranch where she grew up.  

Nixon Holt works with Haley’s father, so Haley makes her position clear—she doesn’t get involved with ranch employees. Ever.  At nineteen, she’d learned that lesson the hard way, and it became her one unbreakable rule.

But Nixon makes his position clear, too; he’s going to wear down Haley’s defenses, and he won’t stop until she breaks all her rules for him. He’s well on his way when Haley finds out the one thing that could make her hate him. Nixon is left with two choices: walk away or break all his rules for her.

My Review

*ARC received in return for an honest review

Oh I loved this book, it gave me all the warm, fuzzy feels and then some!! 

A fun and deliciously sexy read. It's M. Leighton at her very best.

Tequila High had me smiling practically throughout the whole book, sometimes laughing out loud and sometimes shouting in frustration. I was hooked from the first page and found it very hard to put down.

I loved Haley & Nixon, they were just perfect together. The flirty, sexy banter they shared with each other left me with a goofy grin on my face and the red hot passionate chemistry that was evident from their first encounter sizzled off the pages, leaving wanting my very own Nixon Holt. Maaan he is one sexy rancher, he definitely made my heart and temperature soar!!! 

I can't get enough of this new series from this author and am waiting ever so patiently (not!) for the rest of the Brandt sisters stories. Tequila High is a quick, fun and very sexy read and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Synopsis

Alice is used to taking photographs for a living – not having intimate pictures of herself posted for all the world to see, thanks to a disgruntled ex-boyfriend. Now her clients are cancelling appointments, and she’s almost out of cash. What else could go wrong? Oh yeah, her room mate has scarpered leaving Alice completely out of luck.

Enter Tom ‘man whore’ Maddens. Having disappointed his father one time too many, he moves to Brighton, ready for a new start. And where better to begin it than in Alice’s newly-vacant spare room? And if he tries to seduce her at the same time? Well he’s just living up to his reputation isn’t he?

My Review

*ARC received in return for an honest review

I am totally enjoying this series, it just gets better with each book and Bagging Alice has to be my favourite so far.

I love Laura Barnard's sense of humour that is present throughout all of her books that I've read so far. Bagging Alice had me laughing out loud most of the time but it also had me shouting out and shaking my head when it looked like Alice was going to do something she'd regret. Right from the beginning I was rooting for her, she was going through a really tough time thanks to her ex-boyfriend (I could've cheerfully punched him!) who had posted intimate pictures of her on the internet.

Although she came across as feisty and strong Alice was also quite vulnerable and insecure  especially where her no-good family was concerned. Her brother was another who I could've cheerfully punched too!

I have to admit that I never thought Tom was boyfriend material for anyone, never mind for Alice, but he was perfect for her. They had a great chemistry together and I loved the witty banter that flowed between them. I also loved the way Tom stood up for Alice when he eventually got his act together.

The scene stealer and star of the show, for me though, had to be Pickles the puppy. Omigod, at times I couldn't breathe for laughing over her antics. Some of the training scenes reminded me of trying to train my own dog and the way Tom and Alice bickered and argued over Pickles were hilarious!

Bagging Alice is a quick read and the perfect 'anytime' read, whether it be your holiday read lying by the pool or curled up on the sofa on a rainy day. 

I can highly recommend this book but I would suggest reading the other two books in the series first to get a better understanding of the backstory of the characters and to avoid possible spoilers.
