Book Review: Hot for the Jerk (The Single Moms of San Camanez: The Vino Vixens #1) by Whitley Cox

 

Blurb: 

One bed, two enemies, and three bottles of wine. What could go wrong?

Welcome to San Camanez, a humble, peaceful little island in the Puget Sound and home to the Vino Vixens. Four cousins—and single moms—who run a vineyard, love the wine they sell, raise their kids together, and still hold out hope that not all men are the like ones they married. This is Raina’s story …

Jagger
Raina Aaronson is my nemesis. The Poison Ivy to my Batman, the Fem-Bot to my Austin Powers. Wherever she is, so is a guaranteed bad time. So when the two of us wind up stranded, unable to get home, with just one bed left at the Inn, the only reasonable thing to do to pass the time is get drunk.

Raina
Jagger McEvoy can sleep in the woodshed for all I care. That bearded nuisance is the contaminated cork in my merlot. The black rot on my grapes. However, when the power goes out at the B&B, he goes all out helping the guests, making sure they’re safe, warm and comfortable—taking his shirt off in the process.
Wait, so this man isn’t the irritating, self-serving asshat I thought he was? He actually cares? And not just for me, but for my son as well.
Because when danger comes knocking on my door, threatening the safety and peace I’ve so carefully curated for my family, Jagger might be the only person able to stop it.
Unless I screw things up first.

*This is series two in the San Camanez Island world. Jagger is brother #5 from series one (The Brew Brothers). You don't have to have read the first series to start this one. Each book focuses on a different couple, with no cliffhangers, and an HEA for all. There will be lots of crossover between the series, and everything takes place on the quirky, fictional island of San Camanez. Happy reading!

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was one fun and engrossing enemies to friends. Raina was a wonderful mother, protective, and a little self-conscious. With the aid of a little wine, she opened up to Jagger, and they better understood each other. Jagger wanted to show her all men were not the same and was selfless with regards to her. I loved that about him. Danger sailed in, and he did everything he could be help and protect her and her son, Marco. I really enjoyed this story.

I received a copy through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
