Oh I am completely smittened with Sawyer Bennett’s alter ego, Juliette Poe. There is just something about the Sex and Sweet Tea Series that has me smiling like a fool. Maybe it’s the fact that this series is ridiculously sweet and subtle, which I find refreshing. Or maybe its the fact that it, this series is written by one of my favorite authors. In all honesty, it's all the above and of course Lowe Mancinkus and his stubborn and yet sweet personality.
In this second installment,Stubborn as a Mule . readers are introduced to Lowe Mancinkus, whom we met in Ain’t He Precious. Lowe is very upset that his family historical home was sold off to a rich New Yorker, who is rumored to flip and sell the house. So when he went to go confront the new owner, he is in for a rude awakening when Melinda Rothschild does not budge at all.
Truth of the matter is, she’s now got me intrigued. I can’t quite remember a woman doing that to me for a very long time.”Melinda aka Mely bought the Mainer House for a reason and so she wants to restore and renovate the house but it seems Lowe is not giving up without a fight. So when Lowe paints her house trimming, neon pink, it declared war and so she immediately goes to the courthouse demanding Lowe be punished. When the judge decides that Lowe is required to repaint what he destroyed and work 250 hours of labor on the house, Mely is forced to interact with Lowe.
Lowe and Mely immediately butt heads. Lowe loves that he can get a rise out of her but soon the minor arguments leads to them kissing. Yes, so all you enemies to lovers fanatics are gonna love this book as Juliette Poe has readers grinning big as Lowe and Mely finally admitted their attraction to one another. Soon a kiss led to something more meaningful and Lowe discovers the reason why this house is so important to Mely.
Living in a small town like WhyNot, it was inevitable for them to not avoid small town gossip since everyone wanted to know what was going on with WhyNot’s handyman and it’s new resident. It didn’t take long for the gossip to reach Mely. Will Lowe be able to prove Mely that those rumors are not true?
The way Mely feels in my arms and against my mouth, I’d be a fool to ever take this serendipitous gift for granted.”Stubborn as a Mule is your sweet sticky as molasses small town romance that was layered with charm, banter, humor, and love. If you are looking for a feel good book, that will leave you happy and satisfied then this book is for you. So sit back, grab some sweet tea and get ready to have your hearts stirred with equal parts of banter and love.
