In Rhythm and Bluegrass (Bluegrass #2) by Molly Harper, Cheerful multimedia art historian Bonnie Turkle is on a mission to save the the amazing artifacts housed within McBride's Music Hall. But her trip to Mud Creek, Kentucky, is riddled with bad luck as soon as she crosses the town line. From vehicle issues to accommodation problems and everything in between, Bonnie's optimism is put to the test.The best part of the trip is when Bonnie meets Will McBride, who is the town's current mayor. They have an instant spark of attraction and they love to tease each other mercilessly. Then they begin to butt heads over his family's Music Hall. Before long, the whole town is in an uproar over Bonnie's plans and the quirky townspeople choose sides. Unfortunately, although Bonnie and Will are barely speaking, their hormones haven't figured that out yet and they have to find a way to compromise in both business and matters of the heart.Rhythm and Bluegrass is a sweet and sassy Contemporary Romance by one of my favorite authors, Molly Harper. This is book two in the Bluegrass series centering on the employees of the Kentucky Commission of Tourism. Specifically on one Miss Bonnie Turkle.I am happy to say that this novel was filled with Molly's signature writing style using sarcasm, witty and extremely comical banter, and A LOT of sexual tension. She is a very quotable author which made it difficult for me to choose what to share with you all! ;) Mud Creek is a quirky town with even quirkier townspeople to meet. And there were of course many references to local Southern lore and traditions, one especially that I confess to looking up online: Burgoo. Who knew???Bonnie and Will were sweet together and started off as friends with some serious chemistry, then on to frenemies, then back where they started again. Their romance is certainly a slow burn. But given the enormity of the challenge they were facing it seemed right for the situation. Don't worry though. There are some stolen naughty, sexy moments between them that are definitely worth the wait.I highly, highly recommend checking out Rhythm and Bluegrass. Whether or not you are already a fan of Molly Harper's, I think you'll fall in love with Mud Creek and it's offbeat citizens just like I did.
