 On the Rocks by Kandi Steiner 

 

On the Rocks, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by Kandi Steiner is LIVE!

Noah Becker is nothing but trouble.

That’s what Mama told me when I was a kid, kicking his pew in church and giggling at the games we’d play. It’s what the town said when his father died and the Becker brothers went wild.

And it’s on repeat in my mind the day I walk into the whiskey distillery where he works to buy a wedding gift for my fiancé.

He’s trouble.

Dirty, sweaty, rude trouble.

No matter how many times I repeat it, I can’t escape Noah in our small Tennessee town. And the more I run into him, the more he infuriates me. Because he sees what no one else does.

He sees me—the real me.

The me I’m not sure I’m allowed to be.

I’m Ruby Grace Barnett, the mayor’s daughter. Soon to be a politician’s wife, just like Mama and Daddy always wanted. Soon to fulfill my family’s legacy, just like I always knew I would.

Until the boy everyone warned me about makes me question everything, like whether the wedding I’m planning is one I even want.

Everyone said Noah Becker was nothing but trouble.

If only I had listened.

 Noah Becker is nothing but trouble...

...but he definitely is the right kind of trouble! At least for Ruby Grace who comes to the distillery to get a wedding gift for her fiancé and finds so much more.
What do you do, when the first one to see you, you as a person with all your dreams and all your hopes, is the one everybody warns you away from?
Well, if you are Ruby Grace, you might find that everybody doesn't always know what is best for you and you might want to find out for yourself what life really has in store for you. Your well-suited and ambitious fiancé or the trouble-maker, the rude and dirty one - who is really the right one for you?

I loved every single page of this book that kept me on my toes and made me laugh and swoon and I might have used a few choice words when we learn a bit more about said fiancé and his character. Noah and his brothers are amazing characters, very down to earth and hardworking but very close as a family and always there for each other and those that they care for.

"That was a brother's love. It was resilient, and always there - even when we didn't deserve it." (Chapter 17)
Life has changed a lot ever since the fire that took their father and left some very big questions that still haven't been answered. I would really love to know more about it, I want to know what really happened and why...

Back to our hero and our heroine though. I loved the chemistry, the slow burn and even though Ruby Grace was engaged to someone else, it never felt as if they would cheat. Sure, they didn't act on their feelings, not really, but you can feel that they belong together and the more you get to know her and the more you learn about her fiancé the more it feels as if there was something missing, something that is there when she is with Noah. And Noah feels the same and he wants her to be his and be there for her

"We're in this together, and it's not just about me and my dreams. It's about you and yours, too."

(Chapter 16)

Some decisions are not his to make though and when the worst happened...I was devastated. Absolutely devastated. Soooo....well, you should just read it and find out for yourself.
All in all this book is amazing and captivating and I really enjoyed reading it. You shouldn't forget the handkerchiefs and if you are prone to laugh out loud while reading, well, you'd better don't read this book in public. This book really had it all, all the feelings, all the fun, and the tears and the amazing

characters wrapped up in a great story.
