Copper Lining (The Cardwell Family, book 3)
$4.99
Life isn’t all mai tais, coconut cupcakes and the big “O,” but it should be.
I met Wes on a beach in Hawaii. Tall, tan, unruly blond hair and don’t even get me started on that gritty southern accent.
To the locals, he was Wes, “The manta ray whisperer.” To me, he was an infuriating, too young for me surfer dude.
But that didn’t stop me from falling into bed with him.
Being with Wes was thrilling, but he’s all wrong for me. All wrong for my life. After our week was over, I snuck out of his beach house without a goodbye. I was never going to see him again, right?
How wrong I was when I walked into Cardwell Bourbon a few months later to find
Weston Cardwell and those smoldering green eyes staring at me from across a conference table.
Working together will be a challenge. His family is counting on me to save their bourbon empire.
Wes and I have nothing in common except for our hot for each other chemistry—it’s hotter than the copper lining in a bourbon barrel.
But that’s the thing about copper, it’s an effective heat conductor—maybe too effective.

You must be logged in to post a review.
Readers so overwhelmingly embraced one Wicked Gentleman, Jackson Hart specifically, turning many of her #AuthorGoals into a reality.
When Christy’s not turning her risqué thoughts into something worth reading, you’ll find her geeking out on all things pop culture, obsessively stalking Pinterest for home interior ideas, lunching with friends, or researching her next vacation destination.
She has strong opinions about folding laundry, fruity wines, the Oxford Comma, fashion, and mixed vegetables.
Christy lives in central Indiana with her husband and their three loveable cats, Cheeto, Dorito, and Brew. But as cute as they are, please send scratching posts asap because they’re slowly destroying the furniture.

Such a wonderful way to “bottle up” this Cardwell Bourbon family series!
What started out as a one night stand…moved to a one week fling…moved to a second-chance meeting of fate. The manta-ray-whisperer and the single mom-you-tuber’s romance will fill your blessed little heart with joy!
The Cardwell Bourbon distillery is located in Kentucky, that’s a far distance from California, where Minka lives and does her videos and interviews from…but it is also where Wes has been called back to from Maui, where his nomad ways have led him.
I loved this romance story so much!!! I loved the personalities of the characters as well as the whole dynamic of the families…except Minka’s family…UGH! Everyone needs a Cardwell family in their life, though…just sayin’! LOL. This was an enjoyable read with a roller coaster of emotions, filled with heat, and tasty eats! Minka’s daughter, Celia was so well written into this romance, and Minka was such a good, caring momma!
Copper Lining is the third book in this series, written by author Christy Pastore, but it can be read as a stand-alone. The previous books introduce you to other couples who show up in this book, sooooo…it does make it fun to see them again. This is a “neat” older-woman/younger-man romance that will make you feel So. Dang. Good. Take it “straight” from me….you REALLY need to read this!!!

This is my absolute favorite of all the books I’ve read by Christy Pastore. There aren’t as many books that feature an older woman/younger man and Copper Lining was fantastic. Wes and Minka meet in Hawaii and one night turns into a week, until she sneaks away. No last names were exchanged, but they each made an impression on the other. When Wes nexts sees Minka, she’s at Cardwell Bourbon, as their newest employee. How are things going to play out? Will they start right back up or was Hawaii all they’ll have? No spoilers, so please grab your copy and get ready to fall in love with all the amazing characters in this book.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book and this is my voluntary and honest review.

What a great end to the Cardwell Family series!
I love this take on an age-gap romance, where the woman is older than the man. Their gap isn’t a lot, but Minka is a single mother, and her responsibilities as a mother and entrepreneur are endless. Wes is in his late 20s, but has a nomadic spirit and only returns home when his family’s business is in trouble.
This book has a lot of what I love -low angst, great character development, and plenty of steamy action.
I also love love love when authors but easter eggs in their books from previous books or series. There are plenty of that them scattered throughout the pages of Copper Lining.
