Highball Rush

Bootleg Springs, Book 6

By: Claire Kingsley, Lucy Score

Narrated by: Stephen Dexter, Natalie Duke

"Suddenly, all those old country love songs I’d played so often made perfect sense.”

Gravel-voiced Gibson Bodine takes his lone wolf image seriously. The tough guy. The bad boy. He lives alone. Works alone. His one love - besides starting a good brawl - is sitting on a rinky-dink stage in a backwoods bar playing guitar and singing about things he’ll never have. When a video of him playing goes viral, Gibson ignores the unwanted attention. He’s got bigger things to worry about. Like the bomb his half-brother’s mom just dropped on him. And the fallout from the memento he’s been carrying around for 13 years. He doesn’t have time for fame...or love...or meddling neighbors stopping by with casseroles and questions. But one night in a bar, 50 miles from home, he meets her. And she changes everything.

In Bootleg Springs - home of the best moonshine and nosiest neighbors in West Virginia - secrets don’t keep. When the truth about Callie Kendall’s fate brings danger home, it’s up to Gibson to step up and be the hero. And maybe find what he’s been missing all along. Love.

One of my favorite series

One of the best ever!!!! Claire and Lucy made us fall in love with the entire Bodine clan. Gibson was a favorite throughout. and I feel the need to go to West Virginia in search of this town and look for all the characters

Incredible! Sad it’s over

This series was top notch! So brilliantly created. The mystery with Callie and ALL the heat!! Yum! The family dynamics and the conclusion! Worth every bit!
And I love the Natalie Duke & Stephen Dexter narrated all of it! They bring it all to life. Thanks for these books

Cheers!

Overall & Story: Loved every character in this series. Having Gibson as the last hero in this series is fitting. Even as the oldest, he was the one whom needed to grow the most. Boy, did he ever. Highball Rush is everything you wanted to read in closing out the Bootleg Spring series. There was times I just wanted to hug both main characters, especially Maya. The mystery has been solved and a very very HEA for the town of Bootleg Springs. The epilogue and bonus series epilogue will just warm your heart and make you tear up in joy.

Narration: I can’t believe it’s over! Natalie Duke and Stephen Dexter again does an amazing job. Omg. The growly deep voice Stephen does for Gibson gave me chills the first time I heard him open up the chapter.

Bootleg Spring

Excellent series, I lost sleep listings to the books. I hate to read the last word. I laugh and some crying all the way through the books. I also throughly enjoyed the bonus and bonus plus epilogues. Wishing Claire Kingsley and Lucy Score co- write another series.

Amazing Finale

I absolutely loved this conclusion to the Bootleg Springs series. As always it was wonderfully written and performed. We once again have Stephen Dexter and Natalie Duke narrating. Don’t for a second thing the same voices make every lead sound the same throughout the series. In fact, every character sounded unique while keeping with the country theme.

The story absolutely cannot be read out of order, however the last pieces of the puzzle are dropped at a nice pace and you aren’t overwhelmed. The extended epilogue, the where are they now, and the making of special pieces were a great way to ease out of this immersive universe and back to reality.
