Absolutely ate this book up! Hands down one of the cutest books I’ve read in 2025! I was obsessed with the chemistry and banter between Savannah and Jesse. Jesse can be my daddy ANY day of the week

I loved the characters in this book! The relationship between a pageant queen and the vice president of a motorcycle gang created stellar banter and a lot of laugh out loud moments. The story also had heart and at moments had me teary. This was an excellent read!

Oh....this book had me feeling all of my feelings! I literally laughed out loud and then cried my eyes out.

Savannah, Miss Alabama has been looking for her baby brother for 3 years when she gets the call that he's been found. As proof of life, she's sent his mugshot!!!! Lord have mercy this sweet southern boy is in a biker gang in California! Pearls are clutched! Mama and Daddy say leave him there and you are forbidden to go after him. 
Our girl scrapes up what little money she has and flies out to rescue her brother, Beau.
What a rude awakening this princess is in for. 
Jesse (JP) is the club VP who takes Miss Alabama, because Rad (as Beau is now known as) is on a run and won't be back for several days.
JP and Savannah don't really hit it off. In fact they kind of hate each other. She's judgmental and prissy and he's rough, crude and coarse.
The snark between these two hits all the boxes. The growth that everyone experiences is really nice to see.
There is the mother of all 3rd act breakups.....which is when I cried like my name is Savannah Kingsley.
But all is well that ends well. 
Take a chance on this book....you won't be disappointed.
Thank you for the ARC!!!!! I can't wait to read what's next!!!!
