Iam a huge fan of Laura Trentham books ever since I read the very first book in the cotton bloom series I have been hooked.When I got the chance to read this book I basically devoured it in a few hours and omg It was fantastic .We see Sutton and Wyatt fall in love in some very peculair situations and I just loved that I thought the romace in this book was sexy, fun and honest I rooted for this couple to be together just from the very first words they exchanged and it made so happy to know they got a story that was just perfect for them . Besides the romance, there was just so much other things gooing on in this book that just had me so wrapped up the small town setting and all of the many antics that go on in there. I also loved, that we got to look at topics like forgivness as well and they way it was shown in the book is something I rarely ever see. I loved Leave the Night on and was so very sad to see this story end and at the same time Iam so excited to get my hands on the next book, Laura Trentham if you are reading this and you want to give me the next book right now that would be wonderful.If you are looking for a sexy , sweet small town romance that is filled with so much heart then you should definately get a copy of Leave the Night on as soon as you can.

A very good book about two people one Wyatt Abbott who owns a garage along with his four brothers. They live over the river in Louisiana. The other side of the river is Mississippi and that is where Sutton Mize lives and owns a boutique. Her father is a judge and everyone knows the Abbotts and their garage. She also knows Wyatt from school and thinks that he hates her but when it is explained later in the story you can tell it was just a country boy having a crush on a city girl. Who doesn’t likes snakes not all of them are piousness, and they are better than giving her a salamander, which I agree. She didn’t like the snake. Now years later she is bringing her fiancés classic Camaro in for restoration as his wedding present. Wyatt suggests that they go through it before she leaves it and upon looking he finds a women’s undergarments under the seat. Thinking that they were hers he shows them to her but alas they are hers but she knows who’s they are since she ordered them out of her boutique special order her so called best friend. The best friend who is supposed to give her a ride back into town which Wyatt tells her he will take her back. Now the fun begins later that night when her fiancé confronts her thinking he did nothing wrong, but when the other women shows up also, she tells them that she and Wyatt have been seeing each other for some time now as well. Neither of them believe her and later that night she tells Wyatt what she did and could he be her boyfriend for the next few events that are coming where she needs a date. Not knowing that he has been in love with her since they were kids he agrees, even if it means his heart shattering into pieces at the end. Along the way she finds things out about Wyatt and his family, but also she is trying to work things out with herself and yet when he tells her though words “I love you” it is the girl that runs not the guy. Now she must decide what to do before it is too late. A very good story that actually gets better as you go along. Excellent characters, and very good scenes that are both funny and sad at times. Overall a very good book.

Loved this story! It is one of those stories that you want to read again and again. Enjoyable and heartwarming.

A sweet kind return to Cottonbloom.
The main characters are going through an emotional time and end up helping each other out along the way.
A quick, sweet summer evening read.

I was so happy to be back in Cottonbloom! Leave The Night On is definitely a great addition to the series. New characters are introduced, promising more stories to tell, and there are some cameo appearances of the Fournette family. Laura Trentham’s writing is fantastic. This author really has an impressive way of evolving her characters until you feel you’re reading about people you know. Her characters are vibrant and easy to love (I’ll make an exception for the villain of this story).

Sutton Mize is the daughter of a prominent family from the posh Mississippi side of Cottonbloom. Wyatt Abbott is a car mechanic from the working-class Louisiana side. When Sutton is betrayed by both her fiancé and her best friend, Wyatt offers his help to get even with them. Sutton and Wyatt are no strangers to each other, but have never been on friendly terms, partly due to Wyatt’s awkward attempts to attract Sutton’s attention when they were teenagers. More separated them than just the river, they never moved in the same circles.

Sutton feels vulnerable and hurt. When she rather thoughtlessly tells her cheating fiancé that she is romantically involved with Wyatt, they start a fake relationship they both consider as a short-lived business arrangement. I enjoyed the slow burn building of their relationship. Sutton is irresistibly drawn to Wyatt by feelings that have nothing to do with logic or reason. She enjoys his luminous personality, his honesty and his kindness. But she doesn’t trust easily and needs time to heal the pain from the betrayal. Wyatt is willing to wait, he isn’t one to back down from a challenge.

This sweet and charming look at love, set in a quirky small town, was a delightful read and a definite keeper on my shelf. I loved everything about this story, the characters, the storytelling, the pace, the perfect balance between emotions and humor. The cast of secondary characters add depth and warmth to the story. Wyatt’s twin aunts are something else and I can’t wait to read more about the Abbott brothers, although I’m not sure if Laura Trentham will manage to redeem the eldest one, Ford Abbott. If you enjoy small town romances, I highly recommend this book! If you haven’t started the series yet, this story works perfectly well as a standalone.
An advanced copy of this book was provided by the publisher, via NetGalley.

When I learned that there would be new books in the Cottonbloom Series, I thought it was a joke. A very cruel joke because I absolutely loved this series and it was a highlight of my 2016 summer. I was off the walls excited to return to my favourite small town romance world.

I adored Leave the Night On. It has one of my all time favourite tropes, the fake relationship, and it is executed flawlessly. These two has sizzling chemistry from the start and I loved watching them fall deeper and deeper for each other. They were perfect for each other and I couldn't help but root for them to get together.

And the plot was excellent as well. It had that perfect balance between character development and romantic development. These two had a lot of growth to do as characters and I loved that they did so not only together but independently as well. I had a very hard time putting this one down!

And of course, we got just enough of a taste of what's to come that I cannot wait until the next Abbott brother gets his story.

Sweet, emotional, sexy small town romance :)

This was a lovely read, it was a genuinely heart-warming tale that leaves you feeling all warm and cosy.  I thoroughly enjoyed the story and whilst this is the first book that I have read by Laura, I now want to read the other books in the series and am certain that this won’t be the last.  This book is fine to be read as a stand alone, I hadn’t read the other books in the series and don’t think I missed out – it flowed very well and was an easy read – 4 stars from me for this one!

Leave the Night On is the 4th book in the Cottonbloom series but the first book I've read in it and it felt like a book #1 in a series. I was actually surprised when I noticed it wasn't because I felt like I was being introduced to the characters and never felt like I had missed anything from a previous book.

This book centers around Wyatt who is an auto mechanic who is also breaking into the car restoration business. He works in a family owned garage with his 3 brothers and has known Sutton since they were kids. In fact, he had a crush on her when he was younger but showed it by teasing her mercilessly so Sutton has a very different view of their childhood relationship. Sutton is from the other side of the river and the daughter of a judge and hasn't seen Wyatt in years. When she drops off her fiance's car to have it restored she discovers her fiance has been cheating on her when she helps Wyatt clean out the car and Wyatt is so sweet and protective of her that the two form a bond. When Sutton is faced with her fiance and the other woman she tells them that she has been seeing someone else as well and then enlists Wyatt's help so no one will know she made it up.

I really loved Wyatt. He is sweet, sexy, protective but with a bit of an edge as well. While I liked Sutton I'll be honest she isn't my favorite heroine and a bit to concerned with what other people think for me. However, she was also sweet and caring and has a big capacity for forgiveness. Although I didn't always like the fact that she was so unsure of herself and even Wyatt I could understand it after finding out that two of the people you trust the most had betrayed you. I can see how that made her not believe in her own ability to judge people and that it would be hard to trust again. I liked the slow burn relationship between the two of them and I found it sweet and believable.

The small town feel of the community was wonderful and I feel a little in love with both Mack and Jackson and I can't help but hate Ford and wonder how the author will eventually redeem him. I very much enjoyed the writing style and will definitely go back and read the previous books in this series as well as look forward to the future books that will no doubt feature Wyatt's brothers.

This was a great, fun, well-written book. Sutton catches her fiance cheating and starts to re-evaluate her life. Wyatt has had a crush on Sutton since they were kids. Sutton comes up with an idea to get even with her fiance and asks Wyatt to pretend to be her lover. Could there be something real to it? This book can be read as a standalone story, though it is part of a series with related characters. The characters were sweet and engaging. I really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more books in this series as well as others by this author.

Leave the Night On, written by Laura Trentham, is the fourth book in the Cottonbloom series. This book can be read as a standalone, however, I strongly recommend reading the previous books in this series. In this latest addition to the series, the author introduces us the four Abbott brothers that own Abbott Brothers Garage and Restoration. This story is about Wyatt Abbott, but I'm sure future releases will feature the other brothers.

Sutton Mize co-owns Abigail's Boutique, an upscale boutique that caters to the wealthy residents of Cottonbloom, Mississippi. She is trying to find the perfect engagement present for her fiance, Andrew Tarwater. She finally comes up with the perfect gift...she brings his red convertible Camaro to Abbott Brothers Garage and Restoration to have the interior completely redone. Before leaving, Sutton and Wyatt Abbott check the car for any personal items left in it, and that's when Wyatt finds a black lace thong under the seat. Unfortunately, Sutton immediately knows it is not her thong, but she does know who she sold it to...her best friend since first grade, Bree Randall.

Wyatt has not seen Sutton in eighteen years, and he still thinks she is just as beautiful as she was so many years ago. He has heard all about the wedding of the year...the wedding between Sutton and Andrew. However, after finding the black lace thong stuffed under the seat of her fiance's Camaro, the wedding of the year may have just been cancelled.

Once again, this is a great addition to the Cottonbloom series. I was hooked from the opening paragraph until the very last. I loved the characters in this story...especially Wyatt. Wyatt is just a sweetheart, plain and simple. There were a few times I questioned why he put up with Sutton, but then again, love has you often doing things you normally would not do. Sutton took a bit longer to grow on me, but the more that was revealed, the more I liked her. I truly felt for her when she found out her fiance was cheating. Like a lot of women, the warning signs were there, but she was in denial. Andrew's betrayal was bad enough, but to find out that betrayal also was by her best friend was just truly heartbreaking for Sutton.

Overall, I was captivated throughout the entire story and felt the flow was a perfect pace. I read the book in one sitting, and almost hated when it ended. I love the addition of the Abbott brothers to this series, and look forward to reading their stories in future releases. I would definitely recommend this book, as well as the previous books in the series!

Thank you to St Martin's Press and NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read and review this book. My views are my own and are in no way influenced by anyone else.

This was my first book by Laura Trentham.

I really enjoyed this right from the start. LOVE the characters and the town and how its divided. This was good as a standalone however its left me wanting to read the rest of the series and I'm definitely wanting to read each of the brothers stories.

I'm DNFing - I didn't like the heroine. Skipping the review at Smexy Books

Chemistry explodes when Ms. Prim and Proper meets Sexy Bad Boy! Really enjoyed this story! It was exciting, sweet and oh so sensual! From the very beginning you're drawn in to see what will become of Sutton's situation, and as she and Wyatt spend more and more time together, you really fall for them as a couple.

Native to Cottonbloom, Sutton Mize has a ritzy boutique on the uppity Mississippi side of the river where she caters to the upper class she's part of. When she ventures to the other side of the river to take her fiance's prized classic car in for some work, she makes a shocking discovery ... panties belonging to her own best friend in HER fiance's car!

Wyatt Abbott sees the look of devastation on Sutton's face when he pulls the item out of the car and he sets out to do anything he can to help her. He might be from the lowly Louisiana side of the river, but he had a huge crush on her years ago, and the chemistry is alive and well as soon as he sets sights on her again. When Sutton decides to strike out with some revenge of her own, he agrees to pretend to date her all around town. Each time they are together, they find themselves fighting attraction and soon their dating is more real than either of them is ready to admit!

Laura Trentham has turned into on of my all-time favorite authors. I just love her books and when I see a new one being published I get all excited. I just can't help myself.

I have to admit this was one of my favorite romances of the year. For some reason the characters and their story really stood out to me. I just loved them and wanted them to find all the happiness they could.

These two really deserved it.

I think you'll really enjoy both Sutton (great name) and Wyatt. They both are truly nice people. You can tell right away that the last thing they'd do is hurt someone. From the beginning I cheered them on!

What started out as a slip of the tongue turned into the talk of the town, two towns in this case! You can't help feeling for Sutton. No one deserves to be betrayed by their best friend, of course I see this as they were really never your best friend or they couldn have done this to you. Plus, would you want to be friends with someone of such lower character? Nope!!

The only (really one) of the good things that came out of this is that she lost the asshole and got a Wyatt!

Oh Wyatt! Love you and your messed up family. I really can't wait for all their stories. I hope the author is listening, from what I could tell there are a ton of Abbott's in this family. I'm in heaven thinking about all the stories I could have.

From page one you won't want to stop reading Leave the Night On. It's full of everything you'd want in a romance. Great characters, love, friendship, humor, you've got it all. Did I mention family conflict and cheating assholes? My bad, you can't forget those things.

I've really enjoyed this new addition to the Cottonbloom series. Do yourselves a favor and read the series in order. It really helps to build the story line that runs through the series. Not to worry, it's the perfect end of summer reading.

Try this one if you're looking for a dance between two people who you know will ultimately get together. Wyatt and Sutton aren't an obvious match but they have a history when they decide to give Sutton's fiancé a taste of his own medicine. This isn't the smartest plan in the world, imho, but it's the underlying plot here and that's not a bad thing. It's breezily written with enough of the steamy stuff. Thanks to net galley for the ARC. Try this one for a late summer beach book or a relaxing read on the couch. I had to read the earlier books in the series but that didn't matter a whit.

I wasn't sure what I was going to think of this first of all, but leave the night on is a clever play on words for the title of this book. I immediately liked the characters of Wyatt's two aunts , Hazel and Hyacinth.
I did not like Bree. There is a cute plot. The story is set in the fictional town of Cottonbloom which lies on the Mississippi River on the border between Mississippi and Louisiana. Wyatt has a family business called Abbott Brothers Garage and Restoration which he runs with his twin brotherJackson. His nemesis is his other brother, Ford . The boys' mother left the family when they were young and Wyatt has some painful memories of her.
The other main character is Sutton Mize , who comes from the wealthier Mississippi side of the river. She works as a dressmaker and designer at a shop called Abigail's Boutique. The author does a great job of introducing the characters slowly but in a way in which we know Who's Who in the story and get some background on them. Sutton and Wyatt have known each other since childhood and we get a sense of what is like to meet again after years. Sutton drives her boyfriend's car into Wyatt's workshop upset and angry because she has just found some underwear in the car that is not hers but her best friend's.

Sutton quickly devises a plan to get back at Adam for his affair, and ends her friendship with Bree. Sutton's aim is to get back at Adam and Bree, and Wyatt is part of her plan. It is interesting to see how Wyatt and Sutton rekindle their friendship from years ago.

The book is a very quick read, but is extremely well paced and the story is realistic. There were some incredibly sensual and sexual scenes. What is what I like about this book is the fact that the author takes a seemingly simple plot and gives it her own personal interpretation, which turned out to make leave the night on a pleasurable read for me. Leave the night on is a book in which past and present relationships are explored, family secrets are talked about, and which has a very romantic core.

Thanks to NetGalley and Laura Trenton for my advance copy of this smalltown romance. I was also invited by the publisher, St Martin's press, to write a blog tour post for this book. Thank you very much to them for this opportunity. The book has made me curious to read more of Laura Trentham's books.

What a wild ride I had while reading Leave the Night On by Laura Trentham, book four in her Cottonbloom series. Sutton Mize owns a boutique selling dresses and lingerie to the wealthy women of her Mississippi town. Wyatt Abbott has crushed on Sutton since he was a youngster. He was with Sutton when she discovers her fiancé has been cheating on her with her best friend with lots of evidence found in the fiancé’s classic red Camaro. To save face, Sutton tells the two cheaters that she’s been seeing Wyatt while knowing they were cheating.

As Wyatt and Sutton show the towns they are together as they fake date, feelings actually do begin as the chemistry between these two builds. Sutton needs to learn to not be so nice and worry about what others think as well as allowing herself to have some fun. Wyatt has his own demons to deal with, including dealings with his oldest brother. Sutton had so much difficulty knowing her mind that it made it difficult to sympathize with her at times. Those times made me feel badly for Wyatt.

I really enjoyed reading this wonderful book and highly recommend this book to other readers. Although part of a series, this is a stand-alone story.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
