Publisher Description
From USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling author, Laramie Briscoe, comes the special edition of a fan favorite series.
Nobody writes blue collar romance like Laramie Briscoe, and nowhere is it more apparent than in the Moonshine Task Force: Special Edition Series.
This edition includes a never-before-released short story, as well as all the slices of life scenes and text messages I've written for this couple.
The kid is now a man, and he’s got something to prove…
Caleb “Cruise” Harrison
“A Dad is a son’s first hero…”
All my life I’ve looked up to my Dad, there’s nothing I ever wanted to do more than be a member of the Moonshine Task Force right next to him. I said no to playing football professionally to stay in Laurel Springs and fulfill my dream.
I’m biding my time, paying my dues, and soaking up any bit of information my fellow MTF members slip my way. To most of them I’m the kid they watched grow up, and while they’re proud of me, they don’t take me seriously.
Life is status quo until the morning all hell breaks loose in our small town threatening everyone I know and love – including the one woman I can’t get out of my head.
Ruby Carson
“My favorite place? In his arms…”
Caleb saved me from the worst date of my life, swooping in like the fixer he is. Smiling his panty-melting grin, he grabbed my hand, and extricated me from the longest ninety minutes known in the history of the world.
Instead, he took me on the best date I’ve ever had. We’ve been inseparable since that crazy night.
It hasn’t been picture-perfect. His job is dangerous, it worries me, even when he tells me not to. One gorgeous summer day, it all comes crashing down on us.
The man who has my heart is in the middle of a FUBAR situation that has no good ending. My hope is, when the smoke clears Caleb walking towards me, arms out-stretched, with that grin on his face, before he envelopes my body into the hug only he can give.
That’s what would happen in a perfect world – but I’ve never known a perfect world – not even with Caleb...
Customer Reviews
Ever since we first met Caleb, I’d started falling in love with the kid
Ever since we first met Caleb, I’d started falling in love with the kid. Now that he’s grown into a man with the same goals and values as his dad, I’m head over heels for him. Ruby is a perfect match for him, sharing several traits with his “mom”. She’s strong and fiercely loyal and protective. Even though the personalities are similar, this story is uniquely Caleb and Ruby’s. I love the way this story builds. There’s an initial spark of attraction but it tries to stay reasonably low-key for the first part of the book. The connection between them grows in a way that feels very natural. And by the time we reached the end of the book, I was left in a sodden heap of emotional overload because this story asked me to feel so much. I’m not ready to say goodbye to this series; Cruise just reminded me why I loved it so much.
I’m so grateful to re-read this knowing that this book wasn’t the end of the series I feared it might be. It was a sort of cutscene that allowed us to transition to the next generation of MTF heroes and heroines. It’s the bonds of family and friendship between these characters that make the Moonshine Task Force series so special to me, and I feel like that’s the reason I appreciate the bonus material in these special edition releases so much. I like being able to still imagine their lives carrying on after the book covers close.
I received a complimentary advance copy of this book from the author through Buoni Amici Press.
