Description

He’s her best friend, but she wants so much more…

Barrel racer Colby Tucker has never said no to her best friend and secret crush, Olivier Rossi. When the handsome and charming rodeo clown asks her to attend his brother’s wedding as his pretend fiancée, she reluctantly says yes. This might be her last chance to either nudge Olivier into falling in love with her or finally get him out of her system.

Olivier's proposition to Colby was impulsive. But she’s the one person in his life he could count on and—unlike his family—Colby never judges. But from the moment they begin “practicing” their parts, Olivier knows he’s in trouble.

Suddenly Olivier wants more than a fake relationship. But is Colby only playing a part or are her feelings as real as his?

Find out in the latest Rossis of Whiskey River novel by USA Today bestselling author Katherine Garbera.

    I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it. This is a delightful addition to The Rossis of Whiskey River. I somehow missed the first book so I will have to go back and read it. But even though I haven't read the prior story, I was still able to fully understand and enjoy this story. There are several characters from the "Texas Born" line of Tule Publishing books and this author that make several appearances here. It was like going to a social gathering and meeting up with old friends! This book is written in a dual POV format. Getting that glimpse into the character's thoughts really helped me to better understand them. The two main protagonists, are friends that travel on the rodeo circuit. Colby Tucker, is a barrel racer and Olivier (Ollie) Rossi is a rodeo clown. Now that was a first for me to see in a book a rodeo clown (my cousin is married to a rodeo clown). Usually the male protagonist is a bronc or a bull rider. This was so refreshing to see other rodeo personnel being depleted. Colby though has been in love with Ollie since they met 5 years ago. This rodeo season, she is going to try and "un-love" him. Ollie comes to ask Colby to be his fake-fiancee. He wants to avoid the many blind dates that his mother usually tries to arrange. Will Colby agree to the "fake" engagement? If yes, can Ollie overcome his private hurdles and fall in love with Colby? This story is a sexy one so just a word of caution.

    Smooth Talking Texan, the second book in the Rossi’s of Whiskey River series by Katherine Garbera, takes the fake fiancé storyline to a whole new and unique level. To begin with, Ollie and Colby have a chemistry that is palpable, their agreement to pretend to be engaged has no chance of remaining superficial. Secondly, when one part of a couple already has feelings for the other part, there are bound to be unforeseen pitfalls encountered. With an endearing couple who encounter unavoidable circumstances resulting in emotional bumps and bruises, there are no shortages of pull at the heartstrings moments…as well as the desire to urge them on while finding their HEA as they play a game of pretend. This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.
