Neat (Becker Brothers #2)

Neat is a stand-alone, small town, country romance in the Becker Brothers series.
My life is over.
I swore I would never work at the whiskey distillery with my last name on it, that I would never be a part of my father’s legacy. But when I graduated with my art degree and realized there were no jobs, the devil appeared, and I sold my soul, agreeing to work in the family business if he’d give me the art studio I’d always dreamed of.
It can’t be that bad, I thought.
Until I realized my new boss was Logan Becker.
The Becker brothers have a reputation for being trouble, and since I love trouble, it’s no surprise to me that I’m infatuated by that forbidden fruit the first day I walk into the distillery. That lean, whiskey-eyed, too-hot-for-his-own-good man hates me — and I can’t blame him. His family has been at war with mine for decades, and for good reason.
The Beckers and the Scooters are the Montagues and Capulets of Stratford, Tennessee.
But if he’s Romeo, and I’m Juliet? Well… we all know how that story ends — and for that reason, I tell myself to steer clear.
Because if my father finds out I’m falling for Logan Becker, my life actually will be over.
And Logan’s will be, too.
Y’all.
Logan Becker is one of a kind. I know, I know, I say the same thing about Jordan Becker in my review of Old Fashioned, but I think that’s why I love the Beckers so much. These brothers, while they’re all so similar, they’re also very different from each other. Each brother loves their mother, unconditionally. She’s been though so much with losing her husband, their father, the man she was supposed to have the rest of her life.
And she’ll never love another man the way she loved John Becker.
Mallory Scooter has had her fair share of a crap life, despite her last name being Scooter. She may not have lost her father to a tragic, unexplained fire, but her father, Patrick is not the easiest man to live with, and she had to learn that at an early age. I feel for her, every time she brings up her past.
Logan Becker and Mallory Scooter are for real a modern day version of Romeo and Juliet and I live for it. This book was everything that I never knew I needed. The characters, aside from Logan and Mallory, are so important to the story and the progression of all of the Becker’s and I can’t wait to see how the rest of it pans out. Kandi brought the angst, like she does with every one of her books, because she is the angst queen.
While the description of this and all of the Becker books does say you can read them as complete stand-alones, I have to disagree because there is so much to discover about the Beckers, Scooters and the rest of the town that I feel you should read each book in order to get the full effect. But, that’s just my opinion.
Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine — not necessarily in that order.
