Ok the description of this book is what seriously sold me!! How your attorney tells you “give me a call if you want to know how it feels to be handled by a real man,” WAIT WHAT???????? I thought this was a prank! I got to that part of the book and I couldn’t stop laughing, I felt like a school girl from the giddy laughs.

I love me a book with humor, and great characters. Ok so Sloane is a young woman whose getting a divorce, she ended up with Carter, I won’t say why, I don’t want to spoil it. Their relationship was intense from the beginning I couldn’t put the book down, and the humor? I love a book that makes me laugh randomly. I loved the challenges that Melanie incorporated into this book, it made it very relatable, and made me root for Sloane in every way.

Carter and Sloane deserve eachother, and I was so happy that she went for her old man!!! Age means nothing!!! Thank you Xpresso Book Tours, NetGalley and Melanie herself for the opportunity to read this book, humor and romance?? Sign me up!!

Wow! Was not expecting to love this book and it's characters so much. The description of the story made me feel this was going to be a bit cheesy. It was anything but! It was funny, the dialogue was excellent and entertaining. You really engaged with both characters. It was heart warming and sexy. I loved this book so much I'm now going to buy others by the author. Great read and would recommend it for romance readers.

Oh, the delicious scandalousness of a- slightly older- hot as sin divorce attorney slipping you his card and telling you to give his a call when you want to know how it feels to be handled by a real man since you were clearly too much woman for your ex. Then add in a southern accent and sweltering Charleston nights and... Oh, just, yum.

There is just something so attractive about a man that knows what he wants. Yum. You know, I couldn't really help it... the whole time I kind of pictured Carter as Matthew McConaughey's character from a Time to Kill and maybe a little Gabriel Macht thrown in there too. I just couldn't help myself... I think it's the suits and the accent. *shiver*

Sloane and Carter's characters encapsulate the level of banter/chemistry I aim for when reading romances. The pace was fairly quick and you pretty much get sucked in almost immediately. The little dust-up - well, let's just say I kind of figured it out beforehand, but it was fun and enjoyable little twisty full-circle action.

All in all, this was fun and flirty with some Charleston aesthetics thrown in and yummy saucy-times. I highly recommend for those looking to add a little flirt to their day!

Suspenders and bowtie??!!! Sign me up! Carter Van Gordon will totally heat up your ereaders!

Sloane married young, but now is going through a divorce. Her divorce attorney had an emergency, so she passed the case to her law partner, Carter Van Gordon. This man, commands attention, easy on the eyes, hard worker, dominate, fair and protective of his clients. He is immediately feeling the chemistry between him and Sloane. But Sloane isn't ready for anything with the opposite sex because she is newly divorced.

This book was a quick unputdownable read. It was funny, sweet, hot as heck and there was a twist/turn that I was not even expecting. Fantastic. I really enjoyed it and am so looking forward to her friends stories.

What happens when you’re propositioned by your Divorce Attorney and your a tavern wench? Sparks fly!!! The Divorce Attorney had all the elements of a romance that I love. It was quirky, fun and spicy! The characters were relatable and I ended up rooting for them. I love the incorporation of the real life struggle but at the same time the magic that comes with meeting someone new. Melanie knows how to keep the reader engaged and turn up the fire! I would rate this a 4 out of 5. This ARC was provided by Netgalley. All opinions and thoughts are my own.

Meh. I'm not sure what possessed me to request this. It made me cringe within the first few minutes of reading this book and the characters… yeah no. I get the appeal. I do. And the concept, I'm all for it but sorry, this wasn't for me. At all.

So, this genre is a first for me- I’ve never been one to really get into this side of romance however, Sloane was a very likable character given her circumstance and Carter definitely had some commandeering qualities to him which made this a fun, light, and steamy read. The plot never got overly heavy and there were just enough nuances to pique interest.

All in all, if you’re looking for an easy afternoon or in between heavy reads book- this is one I would suggest!

Who needs sleep?!? I stayed up until 3 AM finishing this book. I absolutely loved it and could not put it down! I was sucked in from the first chapter through the end. This was my first book from Melanie Munton and I cannot wait to read more. I loved Carter and Sloane. The way they meet is unconventional, but I loved it. Her group of friends are also entertaining and I will definitely be snagging the next book in the series!

Thanks so NetGalley and the author for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Cute, sexy, seductive and flirty. This was a fantastic romance and I gobbled this up from start to finish!

4.5 stars

I saw a teaser for this book and immediately had to go digging for more information on it. I hadn't read anything from this author before this but I can guarantee I will be looking into more from her now.

I am a sucker for southern charm and these characters had it in great abundance. However, that wasn't what made me fall in love with the story, instead, it was the interactions between the characters. Their dialogue, inner musings, and banter were perfect. I also appreciated the cute chapter names and watching them connect. Even though this technically is an instant-love type of romance it never felt that way. Time was meaningless and didn't really focus on the story. Instead, it felt natural and was adorable.

Great secondary characters that I hope will get their stories too. I LOVED the preview of the next book to come. There were some editing issues in regards to misused words or spelling but I am assuming those will be fixed in the final editing process.

Melanie Munton is a new author to me and I really liked her style of writing, as this story was super fun, entertaining, and easy to read. And with really likable characters, particularly the four girlfriends, and a romance that had heat, minimal complications, and some nice moments of banter I was easily engaged throughout, and I would happily recommend it others. Not to mention I thought it was a great start to this new series.

This was my first book by author Melanie Munton. I found it well researched, I truly believed that the heroine was studying history and anthropology, and the author added local geography and history to enhance the feel of the book. While I enjoyed the interactions between the heroine (Sloane) and hero (Carter), I wasn't fond of the interactions between Sloane and her three girlfriends. I could tell that the author was providing information about them for additional/upcoming books but it took away from the story.

I truly enjoyed Carter though. Munton knows how to build the perfect "book boyfriend" and she did that with Carter. He was protective, sweet, determined (without being overbearing and arrogant), respectful, considerate and you never doubted he adored Sloane.

If you are looking for escapism and fun, I recommend this book.

This was a fun, sexy and quick read. I liked all of the characters and found them all entertaining. Never thought I'd say that I wished I was a 23 year tavern wench! The quasi May-December plot was a tad far fetched but Sloane was entertaining and Carter was wicked hot. A girl could always hope for that kind of luck I suppose. I look forward to reading the rest of the series. The girls in Sloane's posse were a riot.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Really enjoyable and Laugh out loud funny , had me in fits one minute and palpitations the next.
I loved every page and am Dying to read the books of the 3 friends.

These two were brilliant characters, their chemistry was off the charts and their banter perfect.
He’s so cool and calm, with a big protective spirit inside him.
She feisty , loves easily and falls hard , a sensitive woman .

This was my first by this author , but even as I write I’m looking into her past books , I’m hooked.

I received an Arc copy of this book and chose to post this review

I really liked this story. Over all the characters are good. Sadie is completely sassy southern bell. For too many years she allowed a man to make her feel less than. He was dishonest from the onset of their relationship. But she is breaking free from him. She is shedding her worthless husband name and all. She is ready to live her life for herself. Living her best single life with her friends.
Then she meets her sexy substitute divorce attorney. And shamwow she is hot for him suspenders, bowtie and all. Carter is 15 years older than Sadie and he to has a life filled with regrets and brings his own baggage and doubt to the table. Carter is an example of a perfect southern gentleman. He is increditably sexy with his dirty talking mouth and fierce protection of Sadie.
On a story level this was a solid 4/5 read for me. I can’t wait to read the follow up stories in this series. This was my first time Reading anything by Melanie. I really enjoyed her character interactions. Their personalities came through as unique and only made the story that much better.
On the technical side this was a 2/5 read for me. This was not a well edited copy. Random sentence and pages breaks. It also has random numbers, maybe page numbers, with in the story. I am going to assume I have an earlier copy and not the final product. This really needs a strong final edit before going to publication.

Munton is a new author for me, and I have to say I was incredibly pleased with her style of writing. It had an easy relaxed flow of a storyteller. As if your part of the scene and not the reader.

This story revolves around the life of Sloane and Carter. Now, Sloane meets Carter who is the owner of the law firm which is handling her divorce. Unfortunately, her attorney went into labor early so, Carter will be handling the case.

From the moment they caught sight of one another they were both quite pleased (of course after Carter can get past her wench costume, she must wear to work that showcases her extremely large full breast.) There was a connection. When they break the ice, it makes them see each other more clearly as people.

Sloane could not get over how fit and young good-looking Carter looks. He is a very sexy man, especially for his age. She figured thirty to mid-thirties. You see she’s only twenty-three. When they finish the meeting with her ex and before she leaves, he asks her to call if she would like to go out.

When she doesn’t call at the end of the next workday he goes to the bar where she works. Wench outfit was a dead giveaway. She is floored, pissed, flattered, and feeling sassy when she meets up with him there. Tries pushing him off her scent but he pushes back. But, by the end of the week she relents and goes out with him, she decides to go out on a date. So starts the dance…

This is a story filled with sexual banter, sex, and humor. These characters are all witty, funny, and sassy. For sure for 18+. Provided by netgalley.com.

This was a very entertaining story, i liked that there was a lot of humor in it. I enjoyed it . I t was a short book, i could finish it in one day.

I won this book as an ARC from NetGalley. Just as advertised, a young divorcee finds a second chance in the arms of a much older southern gentleman... who also happens to be her lawyer. Much emphasis was put on the things he could teach her as a much more experienced lover, although the descriptions left me somewhat wanting...

This was a fun book and great start to a series. There were a lot of funny lines and I liked the overall story line and characters. I also liked the chemistry of her girlfriends (future books), but at times I wanted a little less of them and more of Carter/Sloane. It dragged a bit in the middle, but it was a fun and light read. 3.75

So after learning her divorce attorney went on maternity leave the day of her divorce hearing, Sloane meets Carter, her new divorce attorney. Carter gives Sloane his number after the hearning and we see how their romance unfolds. I definitely liked the age gap romance. I think it was done tastefully and it never came off as taboo. The smut was good. Very graphic if you are into that kinda thing. I thought the romance was very cute, but the pacing wasnt the best. At 40% it was reading like the book was about to end, and by the actual end of the book I felt like very little actually took place. I feel like it was basically a longer harlequin novel. They did get a good story in there though. I also like how as you were reading you could see the flashing signs of where Sloanes best friends also get their own story. I will continue with the series.
