Matilda Jane Anderson drives a brand new 1917 Model T with Sweet Tilly painted on the heavy metal plate covering the radiator. Tilly doesn’t care what people say. Well, until she finds herself put behind bars by a new sheriff determined to confiscate her automobile and her property.

Sheriff Rayford Sloan cleans up boom towns. He drifts in and works at getting rid of moonshiners, putting brothels out of business, generally making a place where men folks can bring their families. He drifts out when his job is done. Tilly Anderson gets under his skin from the beginning. He can’t prove she’s a moonshiner, but his gut feeling keeps telling him she most certainly is. He promises he’ll shadow her every move and he’ll own that moonshiner’s car before he leaves town. That’s if he ever leaves.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In 1920s Healdron, Okla., Tilly Anderson is an anomaly: she doesn't want a husband but she would like to have a baby. Tilly is also a third-generation moonshiner with a steady income, thanks to Prohibition. Rayford Sloan is the new sheriff, come to Healdron to shut down the stills. Like Tilly, he is serious about his work. They meet when Rayford jails Tilly after suspecting her of running 'shine. Tilly's cousin intervenes, and she's free the next morning, but the sheriff vows to follow her everywhere until he gets the proof he needs to shut her down. He makes good on his promise, and Tilly leads him on more than one wild goose chase, managing to deliver the 'shine while she's got him looking the other way. But he turns out to be more of a challenge than she expected. The attraction between them is immediate and strong, though Tilly and Ford spend most of the novel telling themselves that the relationship would be disastrous. The happy resolution isn't any surprise, but a few small twists elevate this sentimental and conservative romance a notch or two. (Oct.)

Tilly is quite the character! Stubborn, headstrong, speaks her mind and makes moonshine. 😂😂. Tilly is just carrying on a family tradition passed down from her grandmother Katy. But, things are changing in their little town with a new sheriff, Ford, who is determined to get rid of all the moonshiners. Sparks fly as these two try to outwit the other. You will laugh out loud at some of the dialogue and scenes. Keeps you wondering how this story will end. Great story and characters.

The characters are certainly fun. 1917 was in a time of great changes in our country. Expertise running moonshine was respected. Women were coming out of their imposed shells into a new world.

A very sweet story of two stubborn adults with a generous helping of patience which they hide in bickering and oneupsmanship. While the concern is moon shining and he is a sheriff dedicated to stopping it and she is a moonshiner, the game they play is not only dangerous, but concerns the whole town. Set at a time when our nation was still growing, the two have a difficult time getting together. But that makes the story.

In 1920s Healdron, Okla., Tilly Anderson is a different kind of woman. She doesn't really want a husband, but she would love to have a baby of her own soon. Tilly is also a third-generation moonshiner with a steady income, thanks to Prohibition.

Rayford Sloan is the new sheriff, come to Healdron to shut down the stills. Like Tilly, he is serious about his work. They meet when Rayford jails Tilly after suspecting her of running 'shine.

Bring on the games to see which one of these two end up winning the game of cat and mouse!

Would I recommend this book? Yes, most definitely!

It's nice to read a romance novel that's just good clean romance for a change! The downside for me was it's pretty predictable. I do like the way she develops the characters.

I found this story a fun and entertaining read. Ticked all the romance boxes, and the characters were likeable. If you enjoy enemies-to-lovers stories, you'll enjoy this one. It's also set in a time of Model-Ts and bootlegging, so if you enjoy historical romance, you'll like this as well.

this book is part of a series and not sure which order they should be read in. However I had read a previous one first , so it made sense . I love this character Tilly, she is very confident, even though she's a moonshiner.
Great details about that southern food again.
