A drunken mistake in Vegas, named Risa, has Teague Elliot scrambling to fix it. There can be no drunken mistakes for a man destined for the White House. Risa is ashamed of the secret she's keeping from Teague. They agree to stay together until the annulment goes through and then go their separate ways, only everyone starts falling in love with Risa. Everyone but Teague. He doesn't have it in him to be in love with anyone. Will Risa's secret be revealed? Will she put herself in danger to save this man that doesn't know how to love?Robin Covington really knows how to grab you with all these amazing characters. I love Risa's business, Behind Closed Doors. Clever name! Everything in this story had its place and it was perfect! It just flowed right along with all the fun and sexy characters. This is my first foray into The Boys Are Back in Town series and I started with the third book. Though it can be read as a stand alone, I need to find out how those first two guys fumbled with their women before they got it right. I look forward to reading more from this fabulous author.I was given a copy in exchange for an honest review. The title of this book says it all - Sweet Southern Betrayal. Teague Elliot is a ‘fixer’, hot-shot attorney at a prominent law firm in Washington D.C. who has his life clearly mapped out.The presidency of the US is at the top of that list, so you know he’s not about to mess things up by doing anything rash…like marrying a Las Vegas dancer the same night he meets her. No, not at all Alas, his plans are derailed by the interference of a mobster whose legitimate businesses are handled by the firm Teague works for.Knowing it would create unnecessary complications to refuse Anthony ‘Tony’ Giambetti’s offer, Teague finds himself in Las Vegas, celebrating the wedding of his sister, Taylor, to one of his three lifelong best buds – Lucky.That’s where he meets Risa Clay, one of the sharpest, toughest, kindest heroines I’ve met in a long time :)Through flashbacks we discover how they met, and learn more about their sizzling chemistry. (Boy are these two hot together!) Knowing the potential fall-out from his actions, Teague and Risa agree to let what happened in Vegas, stay in Vegas. Or so he thinks… :)A few days later, Risa makes a surprise visit to Teague’s home town because she has some surprising information to share, which is best done face-to-face.Thus begins the tale of a mobster trying to blackmail Teague, even as the small-town of Elliott welcomes his new bride with a hilarious reception party (yup, they got married that night)If you’re looking for a book to immerse yourself in, full of sexy times, family, love and laughter, with a huge dose of heartache thrown in, then SWEET SOUTHERN BETRAYAL is the book for you. :)
