⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Regretting old promises
Welcome back to the town of Bootleg Springs where the bonfires are big, the softball games rowdy, the town mascot is a chicken, and “bootleg justice” is only a short walk to the lake away. Bowie Bodine has made it crystal clear to Cassidy Tucker that they aren’t going to ever be a thing. Cassidy is his best friends little sister, and besides, he made a promise to keep her in the “friend zone.” It’s a promise he intends to keep, and one she’s intent on making him break. Things get sticky when as a deputy sheriff she’s involved in the investigation involving Bowie’s late father and his father’s connection to Callie Kendall’s disappearance years ago. We still don’t know what happened to Callie. That will have to wait for a later book. Can he get past his promise, and can she deal with the issues the Callie case brings up?
