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.

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.

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??

good story

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

I hate duets.

It was not mentioned in the description of the title that it was a duet so now I am left hanging! Both books are very small so I don’t understand why it was not all in just one book!

Let's you hanging to get you to buy the next book

Do not waste your time - full of angst and no decision so you will need to purchase the next book to see who she chooses.

An wonderful story

Love the story and the narrators. Can’t wait for the next book . A must listen to book.

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.

Small Town Romance.

This book is an absolute must read. If you love small-town contemporary romance this is a perfect book for you. I am dying to read more about Magnolia and Brody. I was instantly addicted to them and I can’t wait to see where the story takes them. This is a semi-love triangle with Magnolia’s ex, Robert, who let me point out, I’m not a fan of at all. He seems so shifty, slimy, and up to no good. Magnolia and Brody are such a great couple and I can’t wait to see how things play out between the two of them. They are sweet, swoony, and have impeccable chemistry!

While reading my ARC I also was able to listen to the audiobook since it came out before the book was released. Sebastian York and Lidia Dornet are the narrators and they did an absolutely phenomenal job. I thoroughly enjoyed the audio for this book and I thought it made my reading experience even better.

I highly recommend this small town romance read. It’ll leave you breathless and wanting more!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Be prepared to buy more if you like the book.

I enjoy Willow Winters’ writing, huge fan of Sebastian York. New to Lidia Dornet, I enjoyed her very much. Story was good, performers were good, I hate the book ending and I need to purchase another to hear the rest of the story. Why does it not state 1 of 2 or book 1 of series. It just feels deceitful. I’ve bought many series (many many ). But I appreciate the heads up if I don’t have time or budget to invest I can make a choice.

Not for me

Wait what??? A 3 year old child with 2 potential fathers and you don’t get a paternity test??? Found the story too annoying to finish. Naive and frustrating

Absolutely loved it

Small town romance story that’s so sweet but challenging, it’s full of so much, second chance, love , one night stand a slow burn but it was truly lovely
I didn’t know there was a book two so something to look forward to

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.
