Blog Tour: Totally Folked by Penny Reid : Good Folk: Modern Folktale Series
Totally Folked, the all-new folking delightful and bestselling small town contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Penny Reid, is available now!
One unforgettable night leads to an unlikely shared connection, and unlikely connections never go unnoticed by the good folks in Green Valley, Tennessee. . .
Jackson James follows the rules. He has to. He’s a sheriff’s deputy in a super small town with a super big personality. However, strict adherence to the law during the day has been enjoyably balanced by rakish rules at night. Jackson, typically happy to protect and serve (and serve, and serve), starts questioning the value of wayward evenings when they begin to feel more like being waylaid rather than getting laid. Could it be that Green Valley's most eligible—and notorious—bachelor longs for something (and someone) real?
Mega movie star Raquel Ezra follows only one rule: always leave them wanting more. Strict adherence to this single rule has served her well. Studio execs, reporters, audiences, fans, lovers—no one can get enough of the smart, savvy, and sexy bombshell. But when “generous offers” begin to feel more like excessive demands, years of always leaving has the elusive starlet longing for something (and perhaps someone) lasting.
When Raquel abruptly returns to the quirky Tennessee hamlet, her path crosses with the delectable deputy with whom she spent one unforgettable night. Unfortunately, scandal and intrigue soon follow. Raquel and Jackson must decide which is more important: following their rules? Or, at long last, finding something real.
TOTALLY FOLKED is a standalone, contemporary romantic comedy novel and book #1 in the Good Folk: Modern Folktales series.
RATING/REVIEW: ☕☕☕☕ (4 1/2 cups of steamy espresso guaranteed to keep you up and alert and rooting for the small town deputy and the Hollywood movie star)
Totally Folked is the first book in Penny Reid's newest series, Good Folk: Modern Folktales, set in Green Valley. If you've read the Winston Brothers series, the main character Jackson James will be very familiar. This all around nice guy, deputy sheriff of the town of Green Valley has kept a small torch lit for actress Raquel Ezra ( the story of how they sizzled and hooked up for a night is told in "Just Folking Around"). Raquel Ezra has some regrets about leaving Green Valley and Jackson James, even if they've spent only one night together. She's realized her dreams and has risen to the top of her profession but still feels something is missing. After nearly five years they meet again and what happens next should be all poignancy and tears and heartfelt regrets.....but this is a Penny Reid novel and it has Cletus Winston in small but important role so expect a lot of laughter, conversations that are truthful and sometimes painful but always needed that makes this one fantastic (and hot, very hot !) fairytale about the small town guy who finally gets his Hollywood Princess or a Hollywood Princess finally getting her hot deputy! Either way Raquel and Jackson's journey to ever after will have you cheering and laughing and basically dunking yourself in ice water. We need a Charlotte and Dave story as well!

Excerpt
“Rae. It’s late.”
“I know, but—”
“Rae,” he ground out, using my hold on his hand to bring us back to a stop. I faced him, my stomach erupting in uncertainty butterflies as I encountered the stern line of his jaw and the glittering, frustrated spark behind his eyes. “We need everyone to believe we’re just friends, right? And if we go inside the house, I don’t think I’m a good enough actor to pull that off.”
My mouth formed an O, and I released him, folding my arms over my chest while I wrestled with a strange combination of disappointment and pleasure at his words. I wanted to spend time with him, talk to him, get to know this mystery of a man so I could understand my feelings better.
But . . . I conceded his point.
We couldn’t seem to be around each other without kissing. Bringing him inside a dark, empty house in the middle of the night was something better left to my fantasies.
For now.
Oh really, inner voice? Now you’re impudent? Now?
He exhaled a short breath, it also sounded frustrated, but his tone was soft as he said, “Hey.”
I placed a tight smile on my face, it was the best I could manage. “Hey.”
Jackson seemed to be considering me, debating what to do next. He didn’t take too long. “Do you want to go for a drive?”
“Yes,” I said immediately. “Yes, I do. Let me grab a jacket.”
“Okay. I’ll wait here.” He shifted his weight to his back foot and hooked his thumbs in his jeans pockets.
I wanted to take a picture of him like this, all handsome reluctance and sexy self-control. This man, he just did something to me. I couldn’t explain it.
But maybe if we took this drive and spent some time together talking—just talking—I’d start to figure it out.
