Review: Whistin Dixie by Maggie Adams
Book: Whistlin' Dixie (A Tempered Steel Novel)
Author: Maggie Adams
Genre: Western Romance
Release Date: November 30, 2014
A man on a mission....
Mackenzie Coalson was determined to rebuild his hometown after a
devastating flood left it in ruins. He has no time for a relationship
and all the romantic junk that goes with it. He has a vandal to catch
and no sweet smelling bundle of femininity is going to sway him.Dixie Harris charged into the county sheriff's office with a sassy sway and a smart mouth, eager to give the sheriff, and anyone else, a piece of her mind. When she locks horns with the devil himself, in the form of Mac Coalson, she quickly learns he has a temper to rival hers, even if he's the living epitome of her sexual fantasies.
When the two unite to catch a potential murderer, it's in everyone's best interest to keep it, "business only". But that's hard to do when their combined attraction is volatile enough to burn down the town.
Mac stared at her uninhibited
display of passion. She was lost in a haze of desire. He had made her feel this way. She was beautiful. She instinctively
lifted her arms to welcome him, wanting more. God, he was the luckiest man in
the world.
He leaned down to trace her
aereola, so pink and perfect, with one finger. Dixie grabbed his finger,
sliding it down her torso. Mac smiled and slid his finger down to her clit,
circling the swollen bud, but never touching. His finger slipped lower.
“God, baby, you are so wet,” His voice was a
low growl, his control quickly deteriorating.
“That’s good, right?” she
whispered, suddenly shy.
“Oh, yeah, baby. It’s perfect.”
His finger invaded her again, his breath harsh and hot as he leaned over her.
He removed his finger and brought it to his lips. “And you taste so sweet. I
knew you would be sweet.”

If you are
looking for a western with a fiery heroine and a smokin’ hot cowboy look no
further! This book is for you! New author Maggie Adams did great job with this
story. She filled this story with sexual tension that drove Mac and Dixie crazy
as they tried to solve the mystery of who was targeting Mac’s family business. And
boy did I love the tension between Dixie and Mac.
The lead heroine
Dixie Harris was a hoot to read. I swear
I would’ve thought she was a red head with that fiery temper. No one wanted to
cross her. Including the sheriff. When
Dixie’s fiery temper flared, everyone took cover.
Dixie has raised
her little brother since they were young and she will not accept he did what
Mac is accusing him of. And Damn Mac for
even thinking her brother could do such a thing.
Dixie also had a
sweet and caring side we got to see when she mentioned the children she taught
at the elementary school in town. This woman would have done anything for her
class. Dixie would have you saying awe in one sentence and snorting in the next
with a witty comment she would pop off. I loved the two sides to her. They
balanced her out perfectly.
Then there was
Mackenzie ‘Mac’ Carlson who was a force to be reckoned with. This sexy alpha is
never challenged. Ever! Most people run from this man. Who would dare question what
he had to say? Dixie would of course. This woman practically brings him to his
knees on their first encounter. She challenges him left and right. And Mac
cannot stand that she does not back down from him. But his head and his heart
do not seem to be communicating.
I loved Mac’s
internal struggles when he encountered Dixie. Settling down was not in his
cards until Dixie stormed into his life.
This book was a
great start to the Tempered Steel Series. It is filled with love and hope while
these two try and solve the crimes targeting Mac’s business.
I cannot wait for the next addition to come
out early next year. Every time I
thought, I knew who was targeting Mac’s business I was wrong, which drove me
batty! I hate not knowing!
