Well, I'll be. Being from the mountains of East Tennessee myself, I can tell you that the 'mountain logic in this book was....scarily (and hilariously) accurate! With one exception. I've not heard nary a soul utter "land o' goshen" round here. Not once. ~"By God"...yep. ~"Hell Fire" (pronounced "Far")...definitely. ~"Lord a'mighty"...sure. ~"Tarnation"...it's happened. But "land o' goshen? Nuh uh! That being said, most of the rest of it was dead on! I laughed so hard in some places, I had to set my book down to wipe away the tears! (while my cat was steadily giving the side-eye at all my cackling)Stunt was a sassy, back-talkin', country spitfire! And Alex "weren't from round here"...lol! But when they got 'together' *wink-wink*, they were "Lord have mercy" HOT! The colloquialisms and 'hill talk' might not be for every one, but for me...it was danged enjoyable! This book was awesome and funny and HOT. At first I was worried because of the setting. I'm from the south, and not from the rich south, but the poor south, so I KNOW these types of people. I come from these types of people, my grandpa actually ran moonshine in his young and wild days.But this book got everything so very right, and I was amazed. Even down to the "cotton pickin'", which was my grandpa's swear of choice, and I remember grandma always calling a bag a "poke".Add to all this an amazing, funny plot, likeable characters, and hot sex scenes and you've got a total winner. I loved how Stunt just couldn't keep his mouth shut, and how Alex was trying so hard to do the wrong thing, for the right reasons. The fact that they are also very suited, kink wise, was just icing on this cake!
What do You think about Mountain Prey (2013)?
I read the entire story with a southern accent in my head. Funny story. Deceptively brilliant.
