Blue Balls and Southern Drawls — Mandy Harbin

Taylor Berry is the quintessential city girl who can read through someone's B.S. without batting an eyelash. Her no nonsense attitude is one her great friends and awesome boyfriend love. When he asks her to go with him to his parents' house for the weekend, she's not sure what to expect, but hey, it's a few days and nights with the man she loves. What could go wrong with that? Bryson Reed is a country boy who always looks forward to going back home to Texas for his family's big annual reunion. A weekend of cookouts, fishing, and swimming. What could be better? In fact, this year he's taking his girlfriend, Taylor, to introduce her to his family and join in on the fun. But the perfect weekend he'd envision starts to fall apart right after they arrive. When his mom puts Taylor in the guestroom … not in his old bedroom with him. Taylor is shocked at the sleeping arrangements, but gets furious when Bryson doesn't insist on them sleeping together. He thinks his mom is old fashioned and doesn't see the problem while Taylor wonders where the line is between gentleman and momma's boy. Even though Taylor is mad at Bryson for how he handles the situation, she thinks his mom is up to something, and as the weekend progresses, she knows she's right. This weekend of sweet tea and feigned southern hospitality cannot end fast enough. But when the truth comes out and secrets revealed, something else might come to an end as well.
