“The one-night stand I had was my first and last.
Because that morning, my life changed forever ... in more than one way.”
Tequila Rose was the first book I read by Willow Winters and I loved it so much!! It was cute, sexy and just lovely! It's about Magnolia, a southern belle going to study away from home and the night that Robert, her high school sweatheart breaks up with her she goes out and meets Brody where they spend the night together.

Thank you to Valentine PR for this Advanced Readers copy.
I will preface this by saying when picking this book up I didn’t realise it was going to be a duet so I think that seriously influenced my opinion of it. I also didn’t realise it would be a love triangle book.
I was super excited to pick this up as I love contemporary romances which revolve around a small town, accidental pregnancy and a single parent. A whole bunch of tropes that sounded right up my alley. Now each to their own but the lov ...more

These are 3.75 "frustrated" stars right here.
First thing, Tequila Rose is part of a duet so it ends in a cliffy but the second part will come out fairly soon.
Magnolia's boyfriend, Robert, breaks up with her suddenly when she is away to college and she has a drunk "revenge" one night stand with a tall and sexy guy named Brody. Not the best decision, but she was only 21 years old and hurting.
The next day, all hell breaks loose in her life and she leaves his place without getting his number and not ...more

Willow once more has created a story that will pull your heart-strings and grab your attention from the very beginning with its incredible blend of a surprise pregnancy, small-town romance, and possibly second chance romance.

I have sooooo much to say about this, yet I don't want to ruin it for anyone. So, let me just say these few things-
This ends on a cliffhanger.
I don't like Robert.
I am really upset with Magnolia.
Brody deserves better.
I can't wait until the next one comes out to see where this goes. And if you want to know specifics about my thoughts, feel free to ask :) ...more

Honestly, I don't know how I'm feeling about this story...
This was my first book by Willow Winters and it was a really good story, but from some aspects, I got frustrated very badly, but hopefully, everything will get more clear in the second part of this story...

It's been a while since we have had a true contemporary romance from Willow Winters and it was nice to be back in the romance lane, without the suspense elements she is well known for now. Tequila Rose is a small town romance, with a second chance vibe. After a break up in college Magnolia meets Brody and for one single night she gets lost, but by the next day her world is torn apart.
4 years later Magnolia is a single mother, trying to get by with help from her ex and he best friends. She is tr ...more

This book is an absolute must read. If you love small-town contemporary romance this is a perfect book for you. I am dying to read more about Magnolia and Brody. I was instantly addicted to them and I can’t wait to see where the story takes them. This is a semi-love triangle with Magnolia’s ex, Robert, who let me point out, I’m not a fan of at all. He seems so shifty, slimy, and up to no good. Magnolia and Brody are such a great couple and I can’t wait to see how things play out between the two

Oh my God!!! My eyes. It was trash. I cannot believe I wasted my precious 2 hours on this rotten piece of shit. I HATE Magnolia. And I don't use the word hate liberally. What a bitch. I loved Brody. He was so sweet, charming, caring and understanding. Even Robert was an asshole. Aaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh. I know I'll shamelessly read the next book because obviously it had to end on a cliffhanger and I want more for my Brody but I SWEAR this Magnolia is getting on my nerves.

I NEED MORE! I couldn't get enough of this story! Magnolia and Brody are PERFECTION that I got addicted to with speed of light. And honestly, I have to praise Willow because that lady can do it all - dark mafia romance and even a small town second chance romance. This book has so many amazing cute moments, it's very sweet, but it does have its sexy moments as well. Magnolia and Brody have a great chemistry and you just know those two belong together. They meet again after four years when they ha

What is in this ladies head to keep coming up with these amazing characters and storylines? Another classic release from Willow Winters as I now expect nothing less from this author. This is story of unexpected meetings, devastation, small town living, and second chances. Brilliant!! A must for every TBR list. 💖💖💖💖💖

We finally know more about “Rose”–who’s actually called Magnolia–and her one night stand companion, Brody. And though there’s still a bit of mystery regarding the father of Magnolia’s daughter, we learn what happened after their night of passion.
That’s some coincidence that Brody ends up in the small town where Magnolia spent her whole life. But once you accept it, and you accept the fact that their unique night together meant so much to both of them, you can actually enjoy the romance. The smal ...more

After the blurb for this book I was so excited to read because hello.......surprise pregnancy, small town romance and possibly second chance romance, that's my kinda book!
Unfortunately, I couldn't connect with the story and I feel it was because I lost interest which makes me sad because I wanted to love it. Magnolia had been through hell and back I get that, but she couldn't make a decision and it drove me crazy. Robert, well many words come to mind.....conniving, hero complex, jealous.....yeah ...more

Oh, I completely loved this!
Magnolia meets Brody in a chance meeting after being dumped by her high school sweetheart Robert. They have one night together, where Magnolia had to leave suddenly due to a family emergency.
Magnolia and Brody have such an undeniable connection and I loved their interactions with each other. There's drama and romance and all I want is Magnolia and Brody to be together! Lol

The story is about love, about struggle and about the incredible twists of fate. It's a common trope penned in a uniquely uncommon style. It's Willow's style, of course - the one which takes you to the heart of it.
She is in the middle, blindsided and torn by having to choose after thinking she had no choice, and decide between 2 men - one who supported her but took her for granted, and one wanted to support her and saw her for the amazing survivor she was.

Wow, really!
Brady knows that this is the same girl from four years ago, but that can’t be right, her name was Rose. Magnolia freezes when she sees that face, because she didn’t think she would ever see that face again.
I really like Brody, but Magnolia, I’m not so quick to jump on her fan bandwagon. I know she’s had a rough time of it lately, but she doesn’t like the town talking but yet she’s letting her ex help her in more ways than one. My feeling on Robert is why has he not stepped up to dec ...more
