All those years of adolescent fantasies and this was how Bowie Bodine first touched my boobs. And he apologized. Real life was stupid and unfair.
Small town deputy Cassidy Tucker's dating life is a train wreck on repeat. All she ever wanted was a solid partner. A man to share pajamas with. The handsome, big-hearted Bowie Bodine. Wait. Scratch that. Mr. You're-Like-a-Sister-to-Me is not welcome in her fantasies.
She and Bowie aren't going to happen―that's been clear for a long time―and as for the rest of mankind? Cassidy's officially giving up on love and adopting cats. Good thing the cold case disappearance of Callie Kendall is heating up to keep her distracted. Except the investigation is testing her friendship with all the Bodines―Bowie in particular.
Bowie knows he can't have his little sister's best friend. He made a promise and he's determined to keep it. But putting distance between them isn't easy―not when she lives right next door.
Having her poke around trying to prove his father's guilt isn't helping either. All Bowie has ever wanted is to shed the No-Good Bodine reputation. It's looking like he'll never be free of that shadow.
But one nocturnal animal, a feverish against-the-wall kiss, and absolutely zero pajamas has a way of changing everything.

"Ah, now THIS is what I love about the Bootleg Springs series - the town is full of fun, quirky characters but I never feel like it takes precedence over the main romance. If you like funny, small town romances with a dash of mystery for spice, I think you'll enjoy this." ~ Afterdarkbooklovers.com
"This book and this series is quirky, funny, sweet, and sexy. You will be laughing out loud one moment and emotional the next. If you love small town romance and/or rom-com then you definitely need to read this book and this series. ~ storyloverssociety.com
This book was a heartwarming read that kept me laughing and swooning and wishing for a Bootleg Springs of my own to call home! ~ By the Bookcase

I still love Jameson most, I think, but Bowie's sureness (is that a word?) was so refreshing. He never wavered, and I love that so, so much. I'm glad there was more movement on the investigation in this book, because the last one had very little. And Cassidy was awesome. I related to her more than I had with Leah Mae in the last book. Definitely 5 stars.

Bootleg Springs #3 - Bowie & Cassidy FINALLY
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2024
Verified Purchase
I felt so sad for past Bowie & Cassidy - I understood perfectly what Sheriff Tucker was trying to accomplish when he warned a 23 year old Bowie to give Cassidy space and time, but it still made me angsty. Once Cassidy learns about the warning, she gets mad at both her Dad and Bowie, even if Harlan did have the right idea, he's not so much on expressing what he really means.
So now, while Bowie is ready to march right to the Justice of the Peace, he has to convince Cassidy to give him an actual chance. And it's all complicated because she is trying to do her job while being hamstrung by annoying Detective Connelly, who wouldn't recognize (or admit) that Cassidy had discovered worthwhile clues if they bit him in the butt.
Cassidy has to figure out how to protect her community while serving them as well as her father always has. She also has to figure out how to keep digging into what happened when Callie Kendall disappeared (while not alienating Bowie) - and she has to decide if she can trust Bowie with her heart.
This is book 3 in the Bootleg Springs series and I have to say I think this is my favorite - although it could easily be a tie for first place with Gibson's story.
So very well done, Lucy Score & Claire Kingsley. I'll never get tired of re-reading these.
