Tequila Rose

By: Willow Winters

Narrated by: Sebastian York, Lidia Dornet

Length: 5 hrs and 10 mins

Publisher's Summary

He tasted like tequila and the fake name I gave him was Rose. 

Four years ago, I decided to get over one man, by getting under another. A single night and nothing more. 

I found my handsome stranger with a shot glass and charming but devilish smile at the end of the bar. The desire that hit his eyes the second they landed on me ignited a spark inside me, instant and hot. He was perfect and everything I didn’t know I needed. That one night may have ended, but I left with much more than a memory. 

Four years later, and with a three-year-old in tow, the man I still dream about is staring at me from across the street in the town I grew up in. I don’t miss the flash of recognition, or the heat in his gaze. 

The chemistry is still there, even after all these years. 

I just hope the secrets and regrets don’t destroy our second chance before it’s even begun.

Asymmetric

I should have taken a shot each time the author used this to describe the H’s smile. It had all the makings of a good story, a great narration team, but it fell short. I feel like I wasted a credit on an author I wanted to give a second chance. The story could have been so much better with more character development and less of the whiny slow burn. Just a boring lifetime movie in the making.

good story

I enjoyed this book however hate that it ended on a cliffhanger.. Narrators were excellent.

Secrets, lies and love triangle!!

Willow Winters wrote another amazing book. This book had secrets, lies, and love. Magnolia has had so much happen to her in her life that it only makes her stronger. She lives in a small town where everyone knows everyone. She went away to college and ends up meeting Brody and having a one night stand. Family issues causes her to return home abruptly.

Years later Brody ends up in the small town where Magnolia is from but he knows her by a different name 😉. The secrets and lies start to pile up on Magnolia. On one hand there is Robert, her childhood love and on the other hand is Brody whom she has this extreme connection to. The sparks between Brody and Magnolia is explosive!

I received this book as an ARC and I highly recommend reading. There is a cliffhanger and it leaves you wanting more. Who will Magnolia choose??

Who to Choose?

A cliffhanger!?! Grumble-Grumble! 😂 Seriously, this book was so good that I had a hard time putting it down to work. It’s not like any of her other books. I am used to her dark, mafia, alpha-male books. The men in Tequila Rose are gentlemen and kind. I don’t know how she’s going to choose between the two of them because I cannot tell you who I like best.

This is a very sweet love story. There are still some secrets that haven’t been revealed yet. I’m excited that we don’t have to wait too long for the second part of the story. Read this book!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Tequila Rose

"I really like kissing you."

After having her heart broken by Robert, Magnolia decides to throw caution to the wind one night and indulges in the company Brody is offering. Four years later, Brody arrives in her small little town and wants a second chance but between the secrets that Magnolia is hiding, her three-year-old little girl and Robert wanting his second chance, everything is a tangled mess.

I enjoyed this story and am looking forward to the conclusion of it in Autumn Night Whiskey. Magnolia has gone through a lot and I truly felt for her and her little girl. I am voting for Brody as I am not a huge fan of Robert and there is something about him I just do not like. This was not my first story from Willow Winters and I am looking forward to diving into more of her books.

Audio: Sebastian York and Lidia Dornet did a good job of bringing the story to life and their voices worked well together as Brody and Magnolia. This was my first book with Lidia as a narrator and I enjoyed listening to her.

I hate cliffhangers!

I buy all of Willow Winters books. Some of these books I listen to or read a second time. Nowhere in the first book when I first purchased it did it tell me that there was going to be a follow on book I went back and checked before I left this review. When I know it’s going to be a duet I usually wait until the second book comes out so that I can read them back to back I’m extremely disappointed in this enough for me to leave a bad review for an author that I love to read and respect her abilities. Also, I love Sebastian York and his narrations however, I did not like the narration from Lydia Dornette, at all, it was a turn off to me when she spoke.

Quite enjoyable.

This was a cute and lighthearted listen in comparison  to her other books. Light on the romance, almost no steam (again, in comparison to her other books), and pretty clean save for some swearing. Till chapter 20 when it gets a bit spicey.
Ends on a cliffhanger.

nice but too short

too short and I hope it is another book with this story cant wait to read or listen to that one too

Potential but disappointed

I’m not a fan of cliffhangers and I wish there was some sort of warning. It made it worse by not being confident in which guy in the love triangle she is going to choose. So incredibly frustrating. The narrators were amazing SY is my favorite! What is more frustrating is that the set up and the story itself has potential and I was into until I realized not many pages were left and I was wondering how it would wrap up in such a short time. My OCD won’t let me forget this so I guess I will wait for the next one if there is a next one.

Perfect Small Town Romance

A small town romance with a big longing heart, Tequila Rose is a perfect audiobook for these cold wintery months.

Magnolia's life is going along quite nicely until she bumps into Brody, the guy she hasn't seen in four years. The chemistry and attraction is still very strong, but Maggie's life is more complicated now, and she is forced to confront secrets she has kept to herself.

This book has a lovely, charming, warm and endearing quality. It is a tale of a classic love affair. Brody and Maggie seem so perfect for each other, but the past has a way of intervening in the present.

This is such a lovely story. The main characters are so likeable, engaging and relatable. I am hooked and looking forward to completing this series.
