August (Moore Men #0.5)


Continuing on a TBR/Beat-The-Backlog kick (and ignoring my ARCs kick). Here's "August" by Ashley James. It's the prequel novella in the Moore Men series. It was originally published in the Saddles & Sweethearts anthology.

["“Teach me.”

Two words I never thought I’d say while lying underneath somebody I barely know, yet here we are.

August Moore is one of the sexiest cowboys I’ve ever laid my eyes on, with a flirty smirk and southern drawl that would make anybody weak in the knees.

When I move to the small town of Wolf Creek and get a job at a local coffee shop, he sets his sights on me, and I don’t stand a chance against his charm and filthy mouth.

After an embarrassing run in with him involving hot coffee and a whole lot of flour, he does the very last thing I expect… He asks me out.

Except I’m inexperienced in every sense of the word.

And him? Well, he’s more than happy to show me the ropes as we lie under the stars late at night.

But word around town is August Moore is a one night type of guy… Am I ready for that?"]

A sweet and flirty playboy cowboy who is (almost) instantly gone for the shy and adorable new-in-town barista? Yes, all the yes.

This novella was short and fluffy, just like the two of them. There was zero angst (except for some feisty Tripp--which August frankly found even hotter than innocent Tripp) and lots of sweet moments peppered with honest and vulnerable moments. 

I can't wait for the rest of these cowboys to fall hard and fast.
