Eva dodges the fans, media, and gossip that follow her supermodel mom and rock star family members by wearing disguises. After an aimless gap year, she struggles to figure out what she wants from life. She moves in with her famous guitar god brother in Austin while he recovers from a drunken stage stunt accident and tries to stay sober. When a hot Texas cowboy named Alex takes Eva by surprise, she risks her safety and security of anonymity by letting him into her unconventional life.
Alex is captivated by Eva and promises to protect her privacy. Yet he has a secret of his own—the fling he had with an older woman is fraught with scandalous potential for him and now Eva. He broke free of that mistake months ago, or so he thought. As things heat up with Eva, his old flame returns and won’t leave him alone.
Just when Alex thinks he has the reins on the situation, his ex teams up with a gossip reporter hell-bent on invading Eva’s privacy. The resulting exposé, with a sly spin on a recent encounter with his ex, is Alex’s worst nightmare, and Eva’s unsure what to believe. Can she face the world with Alex at her side or will she return into hiding?

Sure to grab on and hold tight to the attention of
readers of contemporary new or young adult romance.
Whiskey On Our Shoes by Tonya Preece is a new
contemporary new adult/young adult romance set in Austin, the capital city of
the state of Texas. With its multi-faceted characters and multi-layered plot,
it is sure to grab on and hold tight to the attention of readers of the genre
and soon have them turning pages, compelled to see what would happen next.
The main character, Eva Covington, had a unique and unusual
childhood. The daughter of a musician father and supermodel mother, she lived
her life, until recently, on a tour bus, part of the entourage of The
Fabulous Undertakers. You’d think this would have led to a life of freedom:
sex, drugs, and rock and roll; however, her mother, Sloane Silver, has kept her
completely under wraps and away from the eyes of the paparazzi, and over the
years, most have forgotten Sloane had a daughter. Mother and daughter have gone
to unusual lengths to hide their relationship, ostensibly to protect Eva, but
I’m convinced it was more to hide the fact that the supermodel was a mother
with a now-grown daughter.
The male lead, Alex Marshall, although a typical UT
university student, has a complex backstory of his own. His freshman year was
nearly derailed by an unfortunate love affair he’d had with an older woman who
lied about being single. Alex is on academic probation and worries every day
that his parents, back home in Florence, Texas, will find out about his grades
and the woman. Adding to his pressure, his former lover wasn’t ready to end
their affair when he did and is constantly hounding him to resume the relationship.
The first meeting between Eva and Alex is funny, and the two
make an adorable pair. Eva is staying with her rock star brother, Lor, to help
him recuperate from injuries sustained while filming a music video. Alex is the
alcoholic Lor’s unwitting accomplice in his latest escapade to obtain alcohol.
The attraction between the two is immediate. Both have little experience with
the opposite sex, and the expected bumps along their journey to love are mostly
due to big misunderstandings. I was hooked by their story and was glued to the
pages wanting to know if these two would have a HEA.
I recommend WHISKEY ON OUR SHOES to readers who enjoy
contemporary new/young adult romances, especially stories set in Austin or
small-town Texas, or the music industry.
