From award-winning author, Laura Trentham comes Set the Night on Fire, a novel about starting over, finding your way back home—and falling head over heels. . .
Ella Boudreaux has a lot to prove to her family, friends, and foes—and to herself. So when her marriage ends she decides to invest her energy and money into a place that brings back some of Ella’s happiest memories: the Abbott brothers’ garage. Maybe, if she puts her mind to it, she can teach skeptical, stubborn Mack Abbott how to make the business a true success. Which would be a lot easier if the hunky mechanic didn’t make her motor run quite so fast…and hot.
Mack was furious when his brother, Ford, sold his share of the business. He’s in no rush to team up with a wealthy divorcée who shows up to the garage in stilettos—and the longest, sexiest legs he’s seen in forever. But Ella’s grit and determination won’t quit…and soon Mack can see that she’s been down a few rough roads herself. Neither Mack nor Ella can deny the fierce attraction that’s revving up between them. Could it be that true love has been in the back seat all along…and they’ve finally found the key?
Favorite Quotes:
“… you and Sutton have a wedding to plan.” “All I have to
do is show up, according to Sutton. Her mom is going a little crazy. She has
mentioned a harp player and doves.” “Good Lord, one of the Abbott cousins might
pull out a shotgun and shoot a dove if they’re in season.”
… the aroma of fresh-brewed coffee drawing him in like a cartoon mouse to
cheese.
Mack led them out and around the garage to the parking lot where the
Corvette was parked in a ray of sunlight like the Second Coming.
A deep shuddery breath forewarned a rising tide of tears. She had to get
home. A threesome in bed with Ben and Jerry was all she craved.
Trevor’s smile was full of smug self-satisfaction. How had she ever
thought he was handsome and sophisticated? He was a nasty little bug, and she
wore the shoes to smush him.
My Review:
I have greatly
enjoyed each of my three visits to Cottonbloom, an especially peculiar little
town with an identity disorder as it falls within two different states with
divisive social circles. Book six in
the series was the third in a row to feature the hard-working, endearingly
flawed, resilient, and devastatingly handsome classic car mechanics of the
Abbott family. I could almost smell the
motor oil as Ms. Trentham’s agile use of lush details cunningly employed all
the senses and painted a complete, spectacular, and vivid picture for the
mind's eye while also smoothly keying-in the emotional tone. The writing was well-balanced and expertly
paced while evocative, amusing, steamy, and heart-squeezing with crisscrossing
and engaging storylines. I enjoyed the
verbal sparring and developing romance as well as the surprises from the
unfolding secrets of family drama - all culminating into a highly satisfying
HEA. I keep hoping for prequel scenes
to chronicle the now elderly aunties hellion salad days, as I’m quite certain
they had them.

Author Info:
An award-winning author, Laura Trentham was born and raised in a small town in Tennessee.

She chose the next most logical major—Chemical Engineering—and worked in a hard hat and steel-toed boots for several years.She writes sexy, small-town contemporaries and smoking hot Regency historicals. KISS ME THAT WAY, Cottonbloom Book 1, won the Stiletto Contest for Best Long Contemporary and finaled in the National Readers Choice Award.

LEAVE THE NIGHT ON, the latest Cottonbloom book, was named an iBooks Best Book of the Month and a Recommended Read from NPR.
When not lost in a cozy Southern town or Regency England, she's shuttling kids to soccer, helping with homework, and avoiding the Mt. Everest-sized pile of laundry that is almost as big as the to-be-read pile of books on her nightstand.
