Publisher Description
One unforgettable night leads to an unlikely shared connection, and unlikely connections never go unnoticed by the good folks in Green Valley, Tennessee. . .
Jackson James follows the rules. He has to. He’s a sheriff’s deputy in a super small town with a super big personality. However, strict adherence to the law during the day has been enjoyably balanced by rakish rules at night. Jackson, typically happy to protect and serve (and serve, and serve), starts questioning the value of wayward evenings when getting laid starts to feel more like being waylaid. Could it be that Green Valley’s most eligible—and notorious—bachelor longs for something (and someone) real?
Mega movie star Raquel Ezra follows only one rule: always leave them wanting more. Studio execs, reporters, audiences, fans, lovers—no one can get enough of the smart, savvy, and sexy bombshell. But when “generous offers” begin to feel more like excessive demands, years of always leaving has the elusive starlet longing for something (and perhaps someone) lasting.
When Raquel abruptly returns to the quirky Tennessee hamlet, her path crosses with the delectable deputy with whom she spent one unforgettable night. Unfortunately, scandal and intrigue soon follow. Raquel and Jackson must decide which is more important: following their rules? Or, at long last, finding something real.
‘Totally Folked’ is the first book in the Good Folk series and is a full-length, small town, contemporary romantic comedy novel.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Penny Reid, the bestselling author of the Winston Brothers series, delivers a refreshing and witty second-chance romance in Totally Folked. This standalone spinoff takes readers back to Green Valley, Tennessee, where the boys are broad and bearded and where Hollywood starlet Raquel Ezra is hoping to steal a moment away from the spotlight. When she crosses paths with a former fling, sheriff’s deputy Jackson James, the sparks fly—again. With a cast of fun-loving and endearing characters, Reid spins together clever dialogue and cute small-town situations into a marvellous, heartfelt rom-com.
Customer Reviews
Brilliant
This book was so well written, a few editing mistakes but still incredible. The writing is intelligent and witty and I found myself laughing at times. The main characters have so much depth, they live in the 21st century with 21st century ideals and attitudes, which is refreshing in the romance genre - the male is masculine without being a dominant brute, and the female is feminine without being meek or shapely or docile. The characters are so well developed and I feel like I know them intimately. I loved the inclusion of characters from stories past. I was so engrossed in the story, I love this author so much.
Entertaining
I know some may find this hard to believe but Penny Reid is a new author to me and I cannot understand how that is. When I read the blurb for this book I was intrigued as I love books set in small towns so Totally Folked was right up my alley.
This was an entertaining read that drew me in and had me invested from the first to the last chapter. Being a deputy sheriff in a small town may not seem exciting but for Jackson James life is never dull. When he unexpectedly crosses paths with Raquel Ezra again, he is surprised; after all these two have history, even if it is brief.
Sick of one night stands could they re kindled the passion that shared and in doing so find a lasting love? This was a quirky, fun story which characters that were easy to like and relate too.
