Synopsis:

My parents were conmen and I was their tool. I learned how to cheat, connive, and charm my way out of any circumstance. But now I’m respectable...kind of. Yeah, my life is still a lie, but that’s because I have no choice. My best friend, who’s also my boss, needs me to lie to keep our billion-dollar charity going. It’s complicated.

But all the lies are about to end. I just have to finish one final task...taking over a brewery. Easy, right?

Not so much. Because that brewery is part of a custody battle between mother and daughter. The mother owns it. The daughter thinks it should be hers. I’m caught in the middle. Not normally a bad place to be when it comes to two feisty women.

But I’m falling for the daughter and when my lies come to light, everything is going to unravel. And then my future with the brewery and the girl will be shot to hell.

My boss probably won’t be too happy with me either...

Author Info:

KB Jacobs is the pen name for two fabulous, best-selling authors. Obsessed with the 3 B’s...books, brews, and bodies...specifically male ones with a ladder of abs leading down to the treasure trail…

Ahem, sorry, we digress.

These two authors decided to pool their obsessions and discovered a whole new destination to whet their imaginations. Welcome to Naked Brews, one amazing microbrewery set in the middle of the Rockies, run by three women, who much like our authors, know what they want...those 3 B’s again. Side eyes the men...oh, yeah, they have very nice obsessions.

Review:

KB Jacobs have combined their writing powers for good and have stepped onto the scene with this brand new series...and it's delicious. I loved every single second of this book and I was really blown away by how much I enjoyed this story. There is a lot to love about the story and you will never want to stop reading. You're sucked into Lake and Walsh's story and it is sinfully good. And let me tell you, this is definitely a bar I wouldn't mind going to!

The writing is a brilliant mix of humor and romance, swoon-worthy males and strong female characters, and fierce friendships. The plot itself was interesting and it was palpable how much this bar meant to Lake. I admired her tenacity in wanting to keep her father's memory alive, and the fact that she was surrounded by a group of people that wanted her to achieve that goal was even more spectacular. However, the one thing that I liked the most was Lake's core group...her girlfriends. They are all strong, independent women that constantly build each other up and are there for each other through all of life's ups and downs. It's very rare today to have a strong lady friendship as is the one in this book, and I applaud these two authors for featuring such a great group of ladies. I want each of them to get their own happy ending because they are amazing in their own right. I also appreciated that the authors never let the side characters (mainly Lake's friends) fade into the background. The played a role throughout the entire story, and that's what I like to see!

Now onto the best part of this novel...LAKE AND WALSH! I loved every single second of their relationship. The chemistry between them was undeniable, and even though you could say they got off to rocky start, I loved how they were together during the story. They had a great banter and ultimately were adorable together. And the more steamy moments between the two...well that was just off the charts with sparks flying in every direction! Walsh has a huge secret, and I was literally yelling at him to just tell her so that she wouldn't find out in a less than ideal way, but did he listen to me...no of course not! You can pretty much guess where things go from there. But I'm not going spoil anything, you'll have to find out if there's a HEA.

Now, KB Jacobs, we must talk...how could you give me that ending??? Suffice to say, they excised some of their evil author powers in the last moments of the story. To say it's a cliffhanger ending is an understatement. I definitely need the next book in the series ASAP!

Deliciously Smooth is an excellent start to the Naked Brews series, and KB Jacobs are definitely authors to watch! You need to check this out if you are a fan of contemporary romance novels. I honestly can't wait to check out the second book in this series and find out what is in store for all of our characters in the future!
