Book Review: City Slicker by Alex Winters
Book Blurb
Does this dweeby city slicker and his sexy southern tour guide have a ghost of a chance, or will their unlikely partnership end in sudden death?
Dean Ashcroft is majoring in Forensic Storytelling at Storm River State. When it comes time for him to do his big spring project on the fabled Gravel Gulch Ghost Town, Dean figures he needs a guide and finds the perfect one in Sully Grayson, founder, CEO and sole guide for Grayson’s Ghost Tours in Pistol Creek, Kentucky. The only problem is, Sully doesn’t start giving ghost tours until summer, his busy season.
When Dean convinces the grumpy southern stud to give him a private tour, the two get more than they bargained for when an unlikely attraction begins to grow between the much younger man and his sexy as sin tour guide. Private tours turn into sultry southern nights, whiling away the endless hours in the back of Sully’s pickup truck admiring the stars—and each other. But when his project is finally done, will Dean forget all about his rugged country lover? Or will he take Sully up on his offer to be the newest tour guide for Gunner’s Ghost Tours?
Book Review
City Slicker, by Alex Winters, is book one in the Pistol Creek Series. Dean Ashcroft, a College Student and the aforementioned City Slicker, comes to Pistol Creek seeking out Sully Grayson’s help. Dean plans to do a project on the Gravel Gulch Ghost town where Sully runs the only Ghost tour, however it is currently out of season, Dean is hoping he can convince Sully to give him a tour despite Sully’s reluctance. The two meet and so begins an instant connection of heat and banter, with a few firsts thrown in for good measure too!
I really enjoyed this book as it is relatively quick read but well-paced. Dean and Sully were such good characters and had such good chemistry from the start, Sully was the older and more experienced of the two, but Dean gave as good as he got! I really liked Sully; he loved to gently tease Dean but never mocked him cruelly and that made their relationship really sweet.
Dean, was very used to being alone, wherever he found himself, and a recognised a Kindred spirit in Sully, although their respective circumstances were different and I really enjoyed watching their tentative connection develop into something more. I liked the world building as it felt quite real and vivid and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I would definitely recommend this book.
⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
