Publisher's summary

A brand-new novel in an original series from popular romance author Molly Harper! When Sadie and Josh compete for the same Kentucky Tourism Commission job, sparks fly - turns out Kentucky really is for lovers.

Sadie Hutchins loves her job at the Kentucky Tourism Commission. Not only could her co-workers double as the cast of Parks and Recreation, but she loves finding the unusual sites, hidden gems, and just-plain-odd tourist attractions of her home state. She’s a shoo-in for the director’s job when her boss retires at the end of the year…until hotshot Josh Vaughn shows up to challenge her for the position.

Josh is all sophisticated polish while Sadie’s country comfort, and the two have very different ideas of what makes a good campaign. So when their boss pits them against each other in a winner-takes-all contest, they’re both willing to fight dirty if it means getting what they want. But it turns out what Josh and Sadie want could be each other - and Josh’s kisses are the best Kentucky attraction Sadie’s found yet!

I really like this author ‼️

I love romance I like a little bit of smexiness to my romance. this author delivers really well. I didn't think I like her stories but I do and I will keep coming back!

Well-written, but fell a little flat for me

My second Molly Harper book. A cutesy, snarky read that was more predictable than I had hoped.

When Josh, the new guy at the Kentucky Department of Tourism, vies for the same marketing director position as Sadie, the long-term department assistant director. No surprise, the two are young, hot, and deadset against falling for the other. The banter is witty but occasionally a bit too harsh. There were a few times when I didn't like our supposedly sweet Kentucky girl; she was a bit too rude for her character.

There was no actual plot beyond the simplistic, and it fell a little flat for me. That said, Ms. Harper is a wonderful writer, and her dialogue couldn't be more snappy.

Hard to say

Yes. I was soo mad I had to go into an appoint ment instead of doing just that

WHY?

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Needs a much stronger story line with some twists and turns, you knew how this was going to end in the 2nd chapter.

What was most disappointing about Molly Harper’s story?

That it just went along with no true direction, lots of cute dialog but still boring.

Kelsey is much more interesting than Sadie, Amanda's reading was the only reason I finished the book.

Did My Bluegrass Baby inspire you to do anything?

Not a thing

Any additional comments?

I love Molly Harper, but no matter how much I love her quips and dialog, the story has to go some place, has to have a purpose, sorry but this one did not. The competition between 2 workers just wasn't unique enough.

Not Molly's Best

Not Molly's best, but witty enough to hold my attention. Worth a read if you have a couple of hours.

Another good Molly Harper book, but....

These books are starting to get very predictable, but still enjoyable. This combination of Molly Harper and Amanda Ronconi is a recipe for success!

very funny... very entertaining...

It was a beautiful easy listen... what a treat!!!!!

story was believable... characters were relatable... and it was so funny i was having a hard not shaking my bed and wake up my husband when i listened to this at night. it was light hearted, beautifully written, and very romantic piece from Molly Harper. LOVED IT!

Oh, and the narration was SPOT ON! she did it again :D

not bad for a romance novel

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The ending I think, I didn't buy into it

Would you ever listen to anything by Molly Harper again?

maybe

Did Amanda Ronconi do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

yes, but I found the voices a bit grating but that's probably just me

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

no

Any additional comments?

I did enjoy the book, it's just lacked a bit to convince me here and there

Not as good as prior work but worth a look

Still smiling after reading One Last Thing, I immediately purchased My Bluegrass Baby. Not as good as the former but there are funny moments. I was as invested in the characters as I had been in her prior work but it's still worth taking a look.

The Narrator performance makes it worth sticking it out until the end.
