Guilty of Love by Kaci Lane: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 

The Book

I’m caught between a good cop and a bad boss.

In my time working for Smart Money Credit Union, I’ve fallen in love with everything about Apple Cart County . . . except my boss. I learned the hard way that he only cares about power, money, and his pet bunny. And it turns out I’m not the only one suspicious about Samuel Covington.

Sheriff Bradley Manning asked if I’d help keep an eye out for any unusual behavior at the bank. With his deep brown eyes and Southern drawl, I’d agree to help him with anything within the confines of the law.

So of course I said yes.

As I spend more time alone with Bradley, my crush develops into real feelings. But with the possibility of our branch manager laundering money and Bradley up for reelection as sheriff, a lot more is at stake than my personal feelings.

Between becoming his informant and managing a fake reelection campaign as a cover-up, the lines between us get more and more blurred. That is until we cross any sliver of a line left when we’re alone inside an elevator.

I’ve dreamed about making out with a hot guy in an empty elevator, but never imagined it would happen inside a two-story Baptist church.

Now that I know the attraction is mutual, we have to first find out what Samuel is up to and ensure that Bradley stays sheriff before we figure out what’s next for us.

Book Review

Guilty of Love is the sixth book in the Bama Boys Sweet RomCom series. While this is a fun series and one I'd definitely recommend, this could be enjoyed as a standalone as well. 

When I pick up a book by Kaci Lane, I know without a doubt that I am in for a fun story that is going to have me absolutely laughing out loud from start to finish. She always creates such unique stories with characters who at times may seem a little over the top and eccentric... but at the same time, as someone who grew up very much in the country, are also very relatable. And I can never get enough of them... this one was no exception. Bradley and Ashley have a really sweet and easy chemistry between them that I really enjoyed. When he starts investigating some strange happenings going on at the bank where Ashley works, the two find themselves spending more time together as she helps him search for answers and run a campaign for reelection as sheriff. I loved that little hint of mystery added in and found it only made this story all that much more fun. If you love a good southern smalltown romance, this book (and series) is certainly one to check out. 

Guilty of Love is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
