There are many things in life which “Good Girls Don’t” do. However, indulging in this book is one that they should. When I signed up to read and review this book, I was first pulled in by the cover. HOT. Then I read the blurb and figured why not. What I didn’t expect was to sit down in one night and finish the book. So ladies and gentlemen, I have a new author crush, Codi Gary.Needless to say, I loved it!The story revolves around Gemma, a single Mother of a 9 year old son and Travis, her high school sweetheart who also happens to be a major Country Music Star. The two had not seen each other in ten years when then bump into each other in Vegas. Their meeting is chilly at first, but soon the passion that has been pushed back for so many years come out. In a drunken haze, the two get married and this is where things get interesting.You see Gemma has a secret. Her son Charlie is Travis’ son too. The only thing is that Travis has no idea he has a son. When everything hits the fan, you want to both smack Gemma and hug her at the same time.Will the two get their Happily Ever After? Ummmm… I think you should read this one to find out.There are many things I loved about this book. The first and foremost is that the book had real characters. There was no idealized versions of the people in this book. If they made mistakes, they made mistakes. And when Gemma needed a healthy dose of reality, her BFF Gracie was there to give it her. The second thing I loved in this book is the quirkiness of Gracie. Though she wasn’t the main character, I loved her. She reminded me a little of me and a lot of who I would want my BFF to be. The final thing is a play on the “Gossip Girl” column in this small town. Who is it that is writing about the people in this small town? Who will be her target next? The barista and the bartender have been favorites. Who knows, but I loved it. XOXOFor all you romance lovers out there, add this one to your cart. You will not be sorry.
