From Goodreads:
Of all
the speakeasies, in all the world…
Mysterious
city slicker Ty Bradshaw might have won her father's trust, but everyone knows
Norma Rose is the true boss of Nightingale's resort. And it'll take more than
that charming smile to shake the feeling that Ty is not all he seems…
He walks
into hers
Ty is a federal agent on a personal
mission of revenge. But he hasn't figured on falling for a bootlegger's
daughter. Suddenly, flirting with headstrong Norma Rose seems far more
exhilarating than chasing gangsters!
I loved the research that Robinson
did for the book. The dialog and
the history used make a much more interesting and believable story. I also liked the different take on
bootlegging. Showing it as a way
for people to earn a living instead of just presenting it as a crime was a refreshing
way to make the characters much more appealing.
While the history was great this is
also a love story between two characters on different sides of the law. It helped that Ty was after one man and
not trying to shut down the Nightingale Resort and that Norma Rose’s father was
making the whiskey while she just running the resort.
Both characters were strong enough
to support the story line. Ty had
to do some very creative thinking to get he and Norma Rose a HEA but he was up
to the job.
I have been a fan of Lauri Robinson
from before she became a Harlequin author. It is great to see her doing new things now. Before her historical romances were set
in the 1800’s. Moving to the
roaring twenties was a very good choice.
The Bootlegger’s Daughter is part
of a series but does well as a stand alone. Norma Rose does have three sisters so there are more
characters ready for their HEA’s.
Harlequin published The Bootlegger’s Daughter by Lauri Robinson in 2015.
I received an ARC of The Bootlegger’s
Daughter from Netgalley in return for an honest review.
