With every book Sharp writes, she gets better and better. I dont care what she writes, if she writes it I’m going to read it!
From the second I opened this book, to the second I finished this book, I was consumed. Sharp has this amazing ability to pull me to where real life ceases to exist.
It’s a tantalizing storm of epic.
I’ve spent the entire day trying to put words into this review and I’m still at a loss. Other than screaming ‘it’s so damn good, go read it’. But……ITS SO DAMN GOOD!!!!! GO READ IT!!!!!
I love the concept behind this series, the author is taking some of her favorite country songs and writing full length standalone novels based on them, this one is inspired by Dan + Shay’s song, Tequila!
We begin the story with Shay (BaE) just graduating from the air force academy and is out for a hike with a friend before they go to celebrate with others before they are all headed into their next journey, more schooling – deployment – whatever the case may be. This is when Shay meets Park Ranger Logan Daniels and WOW do the sparks fly!
After one night they have such a deep connection that neither has forgotten the other so when Shay finds herself needing to escape she returns to Colorado subconsciously hoping to see him again, what she didn’t expect was to get flooded in without any chance of leaving….guess mother nature gave her the final push she needed.
I loved this book, it was hot and sexy and it was raw and real. I have always enjoyed Dr. Rebecca Sharp’s writing style whether it was a taboo romance or a sports romance she has a way of pulling me into her world and making me feel like I am right there witnessing everything even the trembling breaths. This book made me fall in love with her work all over again, I would definitely recommend this book to adults that enjoy contemporary romances.
Happy Reading!!!
This was my first book by Rebecca…it was SO GOOD! I loved the immediate attraction between Logan & Shay, and I love how they had to wait to find their HEA. (Not wait in an angsty way, just in a life plays out differently than we’d like way….does that make sense?)
I loved that there wasn’t much drama between the two of them and that we got to see how they were part of the rescue team.
Such an amazing book!
If anyone could pick a song and write a book based on it, it would be Dr. Rebecca Sharp. It was phenomenal! It was so cute and inspiring and all the Easter eggs had me so giddy. It was such a great feel-good romance! Logan and Shay were fire. I could not put it down, I spent all morning reading until I finished it. I absolutely loved it! Rebecca has small town books down to a T. She’s found her niche and it works amazingly for her. She hooks you from the very first page until the very last.
Updated review (2/24/21): I still loved it and all the Easter eggs! Tequila is still my favorite in the Country Love series. The song choice, the plot, it all works beautifully together.
This is definitely one hot and steamy read involving two characters with an instant-love connection. What I loved the most is the kick butt heroine Shay and how she defied all of the odds to go after what she wanted. The author portrayed her perfectly while telling a tale filled with suspense and drama. It’s addictive and one you will read in one sitting.
2/18/20 update: it appears that this author is copying ideas from another author book by book for this series. Based on that, I can’t give this book 5 because I don’t think that the original idea for this book was a song. I think that it was seeing what another author had planned for a series and using that idea, complete with a natural disaster (flood here, blizzard there), to create a dupe series. There are some original thoughts and conversations in this book, but the entire overall plot and idea doesn’t appear to be her own. Downgrading my review to 3 and that may be generous.
————————————————————————
Logan and Shay had one memorable night together. Just one. And it didn’t even end as one might expect, but that night and the memory of who it was shared with stuck in both of their minds for years. Six years, to be exact. And now, Shay’s back for a second chance she didn’t realize she wanted or could ever possibly have. Of course, they just have to survive the week ahead of them first. Logan and Shay both had their issues to work through and both thought that they’d broken the rules that would make them desirable to each other. Luckily, they were flat out wrong. And their time together has the potential to set them up for a fabulous lifetime together.
I’ve come to appreciate this author’s ability to change gears and give us different subjects and stories entirely. Yet again, she didn’t let me down with her latest work. I can’t wait to see where her mind takes us next!
Wow.
I Absolutely devoured this book in one sitting, I loved everything about it, the twists and turns the uniqueness of the characters
Loved it!!
If you’re looking for a sexy, steamy, and swoony romance with a kick-ass heroine and swoony af hero, then look no further than Tequila by Rebecca Sharp.
I loved, loved, LOVED Shay. She was such a strong leading lady and dare I say, a total badass. Logan was as swoon worthy a hero as they come. Together these two are electric. From their first meeting 6 years prior to the present, their connection couldn’t be denied and I just couldn’t look away!
Leave it to Rebecca Sharp to make this girl fall in love with a story based on a country song! Tequila is freaking stellar! Adorable, steamy, funny, and entertaining in all the right parts. Curl up, get some hot cocoa ready, and settle in to lose yourself in some Tequila. 5 stars.
LOVED THIS BOOK!!
Strong male lead, stronger female lead, in service to your country, tequila, romance, sky high lovin’ – what more could you want in a book! This book grabbed me from the beginning and took me all the way to the end.
I adored Shay and Logan. Fireworks from their first meeting and drama in natural disaster form and whatever brought Shay back to him six years later.
I highlighted so many passages – here are some non-spoiler ones!!
“I was soaring at twelve-thousand-feet strapped inside his arms and breathing in his steady kiss…”
‘They said just one bad night with tequila could ruin the drink forever. I’d never heard how one good night could ruin it, too. And on nights like tonight, I wondered if it had ruined more than just the drink…”
“I don’t know about real…But you’re still the most incredible woman I’ve ever met.”
“Some people hesitate when they know they might not see something they care about ever again.”
This book kept me riveted. I am turning into a Dr. Rebecca Sharp fan! Grab a shot glass, some salt, and a lime – and prepare yourself for a sky high time in Colorado!!
I voluntarily requested and read an advance reader copy.
I loved it!! These characters just made me proud of them at every turn. They are both mature to the point of assuming responsibility of their mistakes. And because of it, even when time was against them, they manage to move on without grudges and build a very solid and strong relationship. Not just based on desire, although I have to say it’s hot as hell the way Logan adores Shay’s body, but also they form a strong bond built on friendship, support and respect.
These characters are both strong willed and honorable. Commitment and honesty is not a problem for them. I personally love that Shay is a woman with high standards that aims to be more for others than herself. And what I love even more is that Logan wants to let her shine. Support is a very important topic in this story based on where their life choices have landed them. And their choice to support each other even when the instinct to protect and keep and be selfish is so strong, makes them admirable. I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end and the author did a great job at keeping it lighthearted even when it had such serious topics.
I love this story!! This is Dr Rebecca Sharp best book so far. I read this story thinking about the song it was influenced by Tequila – Dan & Shay.
Shay, a fighter pilot and Logan, a park ranger met by chance and had an instant connection.
Six years, later Shay’s life has changed and she returns to the area to find her grounding when life gets complicated. She runs into Logan, the man she never forgot from that one night.
Can that connection six years ago lead to more?
Not only is this a romance, but we learn how people can come together in times of crisis.
This story took me through several emotions, it is such an excellent read!! The characters are strong and very realistic, but most of all you will read this and route for them throughout.
I love the concept of a book series based on favourite country songs. It just so happens that I’ve listened to Tequila by Dan & Shay so many times I had it stuck in my head. I also listened to the song as I read this book.
The pilot and the park ranger had a memorable night together. So memorable that six years later they were still thinking about each other. Though they never thought they’d actually see each other again.
This book took me through so many different emotions. I enjoyed the hell out of it and can’t wait to learn what the next country song will be.
I received an advance copy of this book. I am voluntarily giving my honest review, and I plan to buy this book when it becomes available.
Every time Sharp sends me a book, I swear it’s my favorite one. Her stories just get better and better, and I don’t even know how that’s possible.
Tequila is utter perfection, in my eyes.
Shay is the kind of heroine I want to be or at least be besties with. She’s a total badass. She’s strong, smart, beautiful, brave, and compassionate.
Logan is handsome, protective, brave, smart, and man enough to love his woman for all that she is without trying to change her. He admires and respects her, and I found that so gosh-darned swoony.
I can’t wait for the rest of the books in this series if they make me fall even half as in love with them as I did with Shay and Logan.
There is a reason I keep going back to anything written by Rebecca Sharp, her writing is amazing! I get sucked in within a chapter or two. Basically, as soon as I have met the two main characters and get the gist of what the story is about, I am on board. I picked up Tequila and thought I would read a chapter or two when I had some free time and then suddenly, I was 9 chapters in and flipping those pages faster and faster. Shay’s strength was palpable, working in a predominantly male world and fighting every stereotype thrown at her and coming out of top was a thrill to read. That is part of why I return to this author again and again, I love how she writes a strong female. Finding the balance of strength without being b*tchy and softness without being a pushover. Shay was a perfect mix of having a real drive and still wanting more from her personal life. It might have taken almost disaster but I the end it proved worth it.
If a strong, well written female isn’t enough let me introduce you to Ranger Logan. I loved this man! He was a rugged alpha park ranger, he commanded your attention except he was not domineering. I loved that even though he wanted Shay he never stood in her way to succeed and do what she felt was right. Never crossed his mind, instead he fully supported her dreams and her drive to help others.
When the two are pushed into a situation that forced them to work together and face what was left behind them all those year ago there is no denying their passion nor their chemistry. I flew through Tequila, it was a one day read for me because I could not put it down! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a sweet, feel good romance with a twist of danger throughout!

You will never fell disappointed with Rebecca’s writing. Her stories are capable to transform your entire day into an intoxicating, addictive and breathtaking rollercoaster of emotions.
But be aware. This is one hell of a ride.
“Higher. Farther. Faster”
Shay is the perfect definition of Women’s Empowerment. With a fearless spirit and all her life-determination decisions through the disadvantages she has to face, she is, by far one of my favorite, FAVORITE characters this year.
Rebecca Sharp did an extraordinary job with the character development. I was completely fascinated by Shay’s personality. Her main goal in life was to achieve her dreams. To be the best even if she had to leave everything behind. She made us see that sacrifices are there for a reason but happiness comes to us a very few times.
“She tasted like tequila and truth-the most potent and most dangerous combination”
What can I say about Logan without asking Rebecca to give me one just like him? Lol
Logan is also one of my favorite male characters this year. I was so enthralled by him and Shay’s explosive love story that I wanted to read more and more about them even when I read the last page.
He was a perfect gentleman and loyal to the bone. He didn’t expect to find Shay and share that intriguing and intense chemistry, but he was ready to explore it but not forgetting about the rules that made him who he was.
I cannot say enough about this story. Everything was a perfect mix of excellent writing, great pace, flawless world building and extraordinary characters. This author keeps reminding us that we are capable of greatness and all we have to do is chase what we want no matter what others may think or say. We are the owners of our past, present and future.
“Our mistakes don’t define us, it’s what we do in their wake that does”
Rebecca Sharp is an amazing author. Her ability to draw you in right from the beginning never ceases to amaze me.
Shay and Logan’s insta-lust story was fraught with drama, deception and many more trials along the way. But their connection was tangible, undeniable and real. I could talk about this book for days – the imagery in my mind was so clear. I will sum it up as: A quick and easy read that left me warmhearted.
4.5 stars
I thoughly enjoyed reading this story about a strong young determined wowan named Shay Covington who has just graduated from Air Force Academy and about to soar, as all her dreams are about to come true. Shay and her fellow graduate Zoe head out on their last night before becoming pilots in the airforce. Shay who loves hiking talks Zoe into hiking and in return they are to go to a bar to celebrate.
Logan Daniels is the head park ranger where they find themselves instantly attracted to each other and after a night drinking tequila have one of the most intense evenings, before Shay leaves with no word of goodbye. Logan has never really gotten over Shay. Six years later their paths collide and the intense sexual tension and chemistry has them both being stubborn and emotional torn about where and what happens next. An at times a emotional story riddled with humour. Highly
Tequila by Rebecca Sharp was an absolutely unique and refreshing romance. Everything in this story screamed breathtaking and incredible. The amazing and totally different storyline. Some of the most memorable and stunning characters I have read this year. And of course Rebecca Sharp’s stunning writing that made me feel every crazy, deep , intense and swoonworthy feelings!
Shay Covington is the most daring, courageous, honourable and smart woman ever. She has worked harder than any man to reach a prestigious place in US Army as a premium fighter plane pilot. But some unfortunate incidents force her to go on leave. With a heart heavy with guilt, shame, pain and disappointment; she comes to hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. A place where she met the most dreamy and delicious man of her life for one night years back. What will happen when a massive flood will get her stranded and in the orbit of the same man? Because Ranger Logan Daniels has not exactly forgiven her for leaving after one stunning night of tequila and kissing under stars.
Ranger Logan Daniels is a fine man from every aspect. He is gorgeous. He is funny, charming and protective with a golden heart. He is always working to make the nature better and help people in need. Shay hit him in his soft spot but he still took care of the woman he could not forget. They have a great chemistry. They worked side by side like partners. I loved how Logan encouraged Shay and made her soar in love rather than binding her and pulling her down. Shay did the same for this infuriating, gorgeous and adorable guy. They had so much pent up longing, desire and frustration inside for years. And Rebecca Sharp’s words will make you feel the full impact of the explosion. The passion was steaming hot. And the romance ranges from angsty to swoony to intense to heartbreaking to soul deep. Both of them become better person by loving each other. And the ending was so brilliant. Tears and goosebumps for me.
The flood in the park with all the destruction and devastating loss was brought to life beautifully. In present state of global warming, this story reminded me once again about the cruel and raw power of Mother Nature to change everything in blink of an eye. The horrors and also the hopeful miracle happened side by side in this very realistic and important depiction of a natural disaster. A very important and pertinent message indeed.
Rebecca Sharp always has something truly special to offer in each of her books. Tequila was no exception. It was a superbly written sweet, steamy and exceptional romance.
Received ARC for Honest review
I’m not sure how, but every time I read a book by Rebecca Sharp I am totally talen out of my world and sucked into the world she has created. Tequila was no exception. The characters were real and engaging. The plot was fast paced and very well developed. I loved every single thing about this book. If you haven’t read this book yet, read it right now!
For those of us old enough to know what the beverage can do, how many of you don’t shake your head at least once when thinking about Tequila? While thinking about the answer, I can only say, for those of you too young to currently know…your time is coming.
Calling an author Dr is odd to me but if she has put in the time and effort to achieve this milestone I will definitely respect her enough to represent her properly.
It is a lot like this story. Tequila is not as much about the beverage as the effects and effort that can come along with it. This story is also about respect, not for just a man and woman, but so much more. It is also a story about commitment, tragedy, struggles in nature, and also the American Way of making sure survival is paramount goal number one.
Shae and Logan are more than your everyday laborers. They are character witnesses of what we all strive for. Yet they each understand the finite requirements that go along with their duties, and they follow them well. No one openly walks into a battle, but it is the true hero that does step in without a thought about why. Our heros are such people and how they are propelled into this fight will totally surprise you.
Watching these two grow was a nice change, even under the circumstances. Feeling their recognition of what was happening again with them had me cheering them on.
Dr. Rebecca Sharp, this was my first read in your series, but I must say, I enjoyed this one. It not only touched on the fantasy nerves, but on the reality nerves as well. And the results were nothing short of great. Job well done.
