When a marriage of convenience turns into the passion of a
lifetime…
Holden “Havoc” Thompson
My job as the leader of the Moonshine Task Force is my life. I eat, breathe,
and sleep it. The men under my command mean the world to me. Knowing they count
on my guidance has kept my demons at bay for longer than I care to admit.
The control I have over myself is an iron fist that sometimes threatens to
squeeze the life out of me. What I want more than anything is to live again –
let go of the hurt smothering every bit of light I have in this darkness.
I don’t expect it to come in the form of a Moonshiner’s daughter needing my
protection.
Leighton Strather
My whole life has been defined by who my family is. In the state of Alabama,
we’re number one with a target on our backs. The danger and prestige isn’t for
me. I don’t care about the money, and I care too much about the families we’ve
ruined.
My brother and my dad are proud of it. They wear their arrest records like a
badge of honor. Me? I want as far away from the lifestyle as I can get.
It’s the only reason I ask Holden to marry me. At least that's
what I tell myself.
I never expect his whispered yes to cause such upheaval in my life. Even though
I resist, I learn some havoc is good – and this one? It’s a whirlwind of lust,
hope, and love and all I can do is let it sweep me away.

Review by: Leeann
This is a story about what started out as an unconventional union becoming a love of a lifetime.
Leighton is the “Moonshine Princess and Havoc is the head of the police Moonshine Taskforce. Nothing about their relationship is straightforward and they have pretty much done everything backwards right from the start.
Havoc aka Holden is a man that will honour his word right up until he takes his last breath. Although they were not in love when they got married, he takes his vows seriously and as far as he is concerned they are married for life. He is not at all concerned about what anyone thinks about him & his wife and he holds his head up high knowing that the woman he has married may not be what they think he deserves but she is perfect in his eyes.
Leighton is truly a victim of circumstance. She comes from a bad family and has spent her whole life planning how to escape. Even though she is married to Holden, she is waiting for the day he leaves her, because that is what everyone in her life does.
On paper these two do not match, but within the reality of the story they are perfect in every way for each other. They are kind to each other and highly aware and in tune with each other.
I loved that they always put each other first, above everyone else, even before they fell in love. They have a huge amount of respect for each other which is not always prevalent relationships.
The other members of the Moonshine Taskforce are also present in this story and they quickly take Leighton under their wing as one of their own. She builds happy healthy relationships with everyone around her despite her background and where she comes from.
I really enjoyed this book and Laramie Briscoe has once again brought us a story full of lust, sexy, love, action and pure honesty between her characters. I absolutely adore these characters and their stories and I hope there is a lot more to come in this series!

Review by: Flavia
I loved it. This book was about Leighton and Holden 'Havoc'. We met Leighton's family in the previous books, they are moonshiners and Leighton is their daughter. But she never really felt part of their family. She was the one who did the family's books and she met Havocwhen he came to speak to her father and grandfather. Leighton was in the process of trying to get away from her family when her father found out she was stealing from his money, and was not very impressed was an understatement. Leighton got away from them and for her protection Havoc decided to be her protector. So he married her and they have been together ever since.
But for most of the time their marriage was a marriage of convenience. But what they didn't know was that they both had feelings for each other. And it was becoming more and more difficult to be sleeping in the same bed, living in the same house, being married but not being a married couple.
This story is about the leader of the moonshine team and even though both of these characters come into this relationship with issues and both have a fear of rejection, they find that they can't get away from their feelings and that maybe they both want this marriage to be more than just a marriage of convenience.
Loved this book, love these characters.
Man I want Mason's book. And then there is Ace who is going to be a handful I think. Can't wait.
