I honestly didn't think that I was going to love this more than I did Bourbon & Lies. But here I am, saying I loved this more than Bourbon and Lies. I felt this book all the way to my bones. I loved Lincoln, Lily and Lark front he first time they were mentioned in B&L and I was beyond excited when I learned this was their book. 

Lincoln has been the man with the black glasses that I have had the dad crush on from the very beginning. He is guarded not only for himself but for his girls, for a good reason. He has known loss, and is unapologetic about not wanting to know it again. Lily and Lark are his whole world outside of his family and the bourbon world. Until his world is turned upside down when Faye comes back into town when he specifically told her to not come back. 

Lincoln is a man of his word and he sticks to it, he knows without his word he has nothing. But when Faye comes in like a wrecking ball (thank you Miley Cyrus) his world is a bit discombobulated. Lincoln can't help but see that she has him enthralled from the first show she has at Hadley's speakeasy and he knows that the is in trouble. He just has to figure out how much trouble. 

Faye is not only a pretty face she can tease and be titillating while being the one to bring down the people who never saw it coming. Faye knew all those years ago that she had to leave because of that awful night she could never leave behind her. What she didn't expect was to come back to Fiasco for a job and be tied up in so much more than she ever bargained for. 

Lincoln and Faye have quite literally taken up a whole place in my heart with Lily and Lark. I just love them so much. Faye has come into a dynamic that is already hard to be in, but she embraced it with arms wide open. Sometimes that can be an impossible thing to do, but Lark and Lily really took to her. 

I absolutely LOVED Lark and Lily. These two girls are like no other. I loved how Lily had her woo woo crystals and her candy salads. But she also shared her love of music with Lark. Lark was in that age that can be so hard to adjust but she was such a cool kid. She embraced older music that really spoke to her and wasn't afraid to see what was out there. Especially when it came to the CURSE PURSE! The dreaded curse purse. Those girls had a whole racket going with that thing!! I loved that they were able to make some money while trying to keep everyone in check with their language to a point. 

🔥 Let's Talk About Sex Baby: 🥵 Spice Level: 3.5 🌶️/5 

These two just oozed sex when they were together! They were the perfect match for each other. They had the chemistry that people could only dream of! Not to mention they also had the banter that kept things spicy between them in the bedroom. 

The scenes that we were given within this book I couldn't have asked for better ones. Lincoln and Faye had some of the hottest 🥵🥵🥵 moments without even having sex. Then when they finally did have sex it was ON AND POPPING!! I had to take a few breaks and fan myself and get a few drinks for myself while I was reading these scenes. Because WHEW 🔥🔥🔥.
