Blurb
I didn’t mean to kidnap the groom.
It was an accident.
Mostly...
At least I didn't take much time to plan it. It was more of a spur of the moment kidnapping. Does that count?
One minute, the town’s bad boy is standing at the altar about to marry the world’s most evil kindergarten teacher. The next, he’s passed out in my Vespa sidecar with his bride hot on our tail.
But I didn't have a choice! I couldn't stand by and watch Jace O’Dell be blackmailed into a loveless marriage. And besides, what’s a little kidnapping between friends?
Okay, so maybe we’re not just friends...
And maybe I can’t quit thinking about that night at his bar when he closed up early and had me on the rocks.
And maybe this crazy stunt is going to blow up in both of our faces.
If it does, I’m blaming the moonshine.
Even though the only thing I’m hammered on when it comes to Jace is love—straight up, no chaser.

Review:
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
As I have mentioned a thousand times before, one of the things I hate the most are the misleading blurbs. While this one doesn't mention something that didn't actually happen, it sort of spoils 70% of the actual story. While reading the blurb you think that the book will begin with the kidnapping and when you read the book you see that the story begins with the main characters sleeping together, while Jace has no idea that he is about to be a father since he and his girlfriend had broken things up.
I saw a few people asking on GoodReads if Jace is gonna dump his pregnant girlfriend for the heroine because she gets him more or whatever and I feel like I need to clarify a few things. A) When Jace sleeps and falls for Olivia he is not in a relationship with his toxic girlfriend B) The girlfriend blackmails him into marrying her by threatening to take the child away from him, move to another city and forbid him to see it again and C) Olivia is almost positive that the girlfriend is not actually pregnant, and you should read the book to see how she comes to that conclusion. So no, Jace is not a douche, just a man who is trying to do the right thing.
If you have read book 1 in the series (Hosed) you will already know how crazy everyone is in this town or how over the top things are. George and princess are the animals of the story and probably the best part of the series. These people have weird animals for pets and I believe that it fits with the series' tone.
We got a couple of teases for the couple of the next book and I have to say that the chemistry is there and obvious even from this book. It's going to be a great story imo! Olivia and Jace had a good story too, but I was a little disappointed with the blurb that had prepared me for a slightly different story.

Pippa Grant
Pippa Grant is a stay-at-home mom and housewife who loves to
escape into sexy, funny stories way more than she likes perpetually cleaning
toothpaste out of sinks and off toilet handles. When she’s not reading,
writing, sleeping, or trying to prepare her adorable demon spawn to be
productive members of society, she’s fantasizing about chocolate chip cookies.
Lili Valente
Lili Valente has slept under the stars in Greece, eaten
dinner at midnight with French men who couldn’t be trusted to keep their mouths
on their food, and walked alone through Munich’s red light district after dark
and lived to tell the tale.
These days you can find her writing in a tent beside the sea, drinking coconut
water and thinking delightfully dirty thoughts.
