~**~ Release Blitz for Bright Like Wildfire by Juliette Cross w/ Review ~**~


 

***4.5 Stars***

A contemporary romance by a fav author set in her home state?!? Yeah, I made grabby hands at this baby and once I started it, I couldn’t put it down. I loved Bennett and Betty and all of the crazy and interesting folks that inhabit the town of Beauxville, including a very sneaky pig and goat!

I adored Betty and Bennett. Betty is all kinds of feisty. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind and has a huge heart. Bennett is charming, sweet and when his alpha comes out…well, it makes him all kinda of everything.

As for their journey to their HEA, it was a really fun ride. There was some eye rolling going on as Betty worked her way through her “issues” with Bennett, but mostly they had me grinning like a fool and totally enjoying their bantering and the chemistry between them as they get to know who each other really are. There aren’t too many crazy bumps in the road for them, but one does come up and it is something of a doozy and though there is one thing I wish had happened during the reconciliation, I’m happy with how everything turned out for them.

This was a great start to a new series. The world building was very well done and has me wishing I could visit Beauxville. As for the supporting cast of characters, I loved Finn, Lily, Emma and Karen and I’m hoping that we get more of Hale, Country and Officer Dugas, as well as Gilbert and Marigold!

Bennett has no idea why Betty Mouton hates him. Other than the time he accidentally hit her boobs with a glitter bomb in their community theater performance of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” he’s been nothing but helpful and accommodating. But that notorious “incident” happened ten years ago. Time for the gorgeous redhead to get over it and admit to the real chemistry between them, not just the on-stage kind.

 

Betty is in trouble. She may have gotten her dream role in a production by her favorite playwright, but there’s a big problem. Her romantic lead is that cocky, annoyingly hot know-it-all Bennett Broussard. And when the fake touching and fake kissing start to feel way too real, Betty realizes one thing. She better act her heart out or finally admit that Bennett has stolen hers.

Release Date: July 12th, 2022
