Fake dating, small town charm, a nerdy cowboy, and a bourbon making boss who’ll steal your heart? Bourbon Summer is a perfect cocktail of swoon, spice, and second chances! 🍹💘

When Addie finds herself in the ultimate cringe situation—having to attend her ex-boyfriend’s wedding to her former best friend—she panics and blurts out the one thing she shouldn’t: that she’s bringing her boss, Tenor, as her date. Cue the fake dating shenanigans when Tenor, a co-owner of Copper Summit distillery, agrees to play along. But what starts as a charade quickly turns into stolen glances, cozy picnics, and a tension that’s so delicious, you’ll want to sip it slowly.

Y’all, Tenor Bailey is the small town grumpy bachelor with a secret soft side we dream about. He’s guarded but giving, and every sweet gesture (homemade meals from his mama? 🥹) had my heart melting faster than bourbon over ice. Addie, on the other hand, is every relatable, trying to keep it together FMC you root for from page one.

The chemistry between these two? Top shelf. That one drunken crawl into his bed? Absolutely sent me. The tension is so thick, you could cut it with a bourbon soaked knife. And the emotional payoff? Just perfection for those who love a reluctant bachelor turned total softie.

Walker Rose has created a story that feels like a warm summer evening—bitter, sweet, and with just the right amount of burn. Perfect for fans of Devney Perry and Elsie Silver, this book will leave you dreaming of small towns, distillery tours, and your very own fake dating romance.
