Three Chicks Brewery #3
Dirty Ginger
From USA Today bestselling author Stacey Kennedy comes a sexy and sweet romance about a jilted bride who is done with men, a down-on-his-luck cowboy who can't catch a break, and a game of spin the beer bottle that leaves them both a little love drunk.
True love deserves a second chance...
Everyone at Three Chicks Brewery knows that Amelia Carter has the magic touch when it comes to creating the perfect beer. Her ales have customers singing her praises and begging for more. Unfortunately, when it comes to love, the only magic she seems to have is the cursed kind. After being left at the altar by her ex-fiancé, Amelia gives up on the idea of happily ever after to focus on making the Carter family brewery a national success.
Beckett Stone starts to believe in happily ever after the day Amelia's worthless ex bails on their wedding, finally giving Beckett another chance with his high school sweetheart--the only woman he's ever loved. Unfortunately, Amelia's broken heart is just one of the obstacles Beckett needs to overcome if he wants to win her for good. He knows he's not the man Amelia deserves, particularly with his money-pit of a house, a 1975 truck that barely runs, an alcoholic father, and a universe that seems to have a twisted sense of humor when it comes to giving Beckett a break.
But when pressure mounts to make the Three Chicks Brewery's top beer, Foxy Diva, into a huge success, Amelia starts to fall apart, and Beckett swoops in with his gentle reassurances and hard-work ethic. While the last thing Amelia wants is to fall in love again, she can't deny that her heart beats a little faster whenever she sees Beckett walk through the door. Soon, every warm caress and soft whisper of understanding becomes a balm to both of them. As Beckett makes his intentions clear, Amelia must decide if she can overcome her shattered heart and believe in the magic of true love again.

DIRTY GINGER is the third and final book in the THREE CHICKS BREWERY Series, each book can be read as a standalone but I would highly recommend reading them in the order they have been released since it follows the lives of three sisters so there is a lot of overlap of characters and it will give a lot away if you read them out of sequence.
This is Amelia Carter and Beckett Stone's story, and if you enjoy second chance romances you'll love this one! Amelia and Beckett have a long history together some good, some not so good. But who would have thought that when Amelia's fiancé leaves her at the alter it would be good news for the two of them.
When Beckett and Amelia start working together to get her brewery ready for an unbelievable opportunity sparks begin to fly, ah who am I kidding the sparks were always flying when Beckett was around Amelia so it was inevitable that these two would get together one way or another.
I really enjoyed this ending to the sister's stories, they were each wrapped up nicely but I will say I'm going to miss them so I hope they pop up in a future series by Stacey Kennedy.
If you enjoy Spicy Contemporary Romances, Cowboy Romances, Second Chance at Love Romances, or are looking for a series based around a family I would recommend this one to you.
Happy Reading!!!

This was a feel-good tearjerker, and the last of the Three Chicks Brewery series. In the previous books, middle sister Amelia has been engaged to Luca. In Dirty Ginger, Luca dumps her at the altar. She goes on their planned honeymoon by herself and comes back refreshed and ready to work at the brewery. She has been challenged to make six new beers for their distributor to promote and is feeling overwhelmed, when her high school sweetheart, Beckett, comes to her aid. When the two of them broke up after high school, Beckett had lost most of his family and his dreams to a car accident, and he pushed Amelia away so she wouldn’t see him weak and broken. He has been seeing a therapist to make sure he doesn’t follow his dad’s path down the neck of a bottle-and he wants to be good enough for Amelia when she comes home from school. With Luca out of the picture, can Beckett and Amelia connect again? And when tragedy strikes again, will history repeat itself? I l oved both Amelia and Beckett. They were caring, sensitive people who learned from each other and came to understand themselves. The story itself was touching, with a smattering of humor, and a surprise ending that raised this story above the norm. --

Dirty Ginger is the third book in Stacey Kennedy’s Three Chicks Brewery series, and it was another enjoyable addition to the series. Although it was a quick and easy read, I didn’t quite love it as much as I had hoped. I enjoyed it, yet I had wanted a wee bit more.
I think the main reason I wanted more from this was because I’m a big lover of getting to see the past when we’re given second chance romances. For me, the details given about the past were glossed over a little too easily for me. I wanted more detail, to see more, and it felt like things happened far too quickly for me. I liked the characters and the events, but it wasn’t quite enough.
All in all, this was great for quick reading, yet I didn’t love it as much as I could have.

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~
This is the third book in the series, and if you have read the previous two. I am pretty sure you knew what was coming! I certainly recommend that you do - so that you understand the dynamics between the three sisters and how they have come to the point they are at the beginning of this story.
It was so clear to everyone but Amelia that Luka was wrong for her, and once he does the dirty and leaves their wedding unmarried, but not unmarred, she has the chance to acknowledge her feelings of discontent too. That her first true love, Beckett, stepped up and inflicted harm on Luka in his anger, was surprisingly pleasing, even if the consequences cause problems later.
It was great to be back at the brewery, and understand some of the work that goes into creating new versions. I was confused however by her coming back from Jamaica and the beer having gone off in her absence. It was a planned holiday, even if not that she went alone - so why had they not already sorted cover for while she was away? Given how meticulous she is, it just didn't ring quite true with me. A silly point, I know, but it was out of character, given how much of her energy she dedicated to her brewery.
I love Beckett's tenacity and singlemindedness, and thankfully it worked, which means that all three sisters are happy, in love, and all pursuing the careers of their dreams, not the obligations that they would have lived to honour their grandparents.
A good, fun and very sexy read of second chance love, and family obligations and redemption. Do have a tissue to hand, but even that is a freeing of a life.

Dirty Ginger is the third book in Stacey Kennedy’s Three Chicks Brewery series. ( each book can be read as a standalone but I would highly recommend reading them in the order.)
This is Amelia Carter and Beckett Stone's story. If you enjoy second chance romances, then you will love this one!!
Amelia and Beckett have a long history together and both have had their share of pain growing up. But when Amelias fiancé leaves her at the alter, Amelia decides to take the honeymoon they had booked to have her time alone to deal with and process everything that's happened.
When she returns refreshed, she and Beckett begin working together to get the brewery up and running again as they have an amazing opportunity ahead of them and she doesn't want to waste any time!!
When they start working together sparks start to fly and you can tell only good things will come of them working together and healing together.
If you enjoy Contemporary Romances, Cowboy Romances, Second Chance at Love Romances, or are looking for a series based around a family I would definitely recommend this one to you.

It is a really good book and It is really interesting.
July 20, 2021
I was given a copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.
After being dumped at the altar, Amelia has to re-evaluate the life she wants for herself. She loves her brewmaster job, her family, and her community. And she might still have feelings for her high school boyfriend.
This is the third book in the Three Chicks Brewery series. There isn’t much to differentiate it from Amelia’s sisters’ books. In fact, I was sure I’d already read parts of this story. With two of the three sisters blissfully coupled-up, this is a little more sugary sweet than the first two books. The brewery is successful. The sisters are happy. Everything is just a little too perfect for me.
Beckett’s storyline adds some much needed conflict to this story. After a family tragedy, he has shelved his own cowboy dreams to take care of his father. Beckett is a little broken, a little insular and he’s pretty easy to love. But while Beckett faces internal conflict, there is little conflict between him and Amelia. This is instalove. Their backstory makes it plausible but their relationship feels disappointingly easy.
I have to also admit that I didn’t love Amelia in her own book. The talented brewmaster seemed more spirited in her sisters’ books than she does here. Her domesticity is irritating. Even more annoying is her cheerful cooking, cleaning and ‘taking care’ of Beckett. This side of Amelia jars against the other aspects of her character that I want to like. The first two books felt quite modern but the cozy country community and traditional gender roles in this book feel quite dated. This isn’t my favourite book in the series but most of my reservations are down to personal preferences and I know other readers will enjoy this third book.

This second chance romance was exceptional. While it was heartbreaking in many ways (I cried a few times), it was also comforting in others. Beckett and Amelia were destined to be together, it just took them awhile to get there. Life can throw you a lot of lemons, it’s what you do with them that determines the course for your life.
Beckett had a lot of turmoil in his life; not just as an adult, but as a child. These events shaped him to be the man he is, but he still falters. I loved how strong Beckett was and my heart broke for him when he started regressing when things got bad. Defending Amelia and helping her when she needed it proved the character he had. Even though their relationship moved extremely fast, it was believable due to their past.
Amelia has her whole life planned, right down to being happily married, until her fiancé changes everything. Mortified, she escapes for two weeks and comes home prepared to work. Her mind is confused, mainly because she liked the way Beckett makes her feel and she thinks it is wrong so close to the end of her relationship. She has also had a lot of bad happen to her, but she tries not to let it hinder her. I loved how she wouldn’t let Beckett push her away a second time and how she proved that she was in it for the long haul.
This book is a fantastic story about friends, family and love. Not only do the main characters have a great journey, but the other characters bring high emotion, respect and love to their lives that it radiates throughout the story. I highly recommend this book. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.

Dirty Ginger (Three Chicks Brewery, #3) by Stacey Kennedy
5 stars
M/F Romance
Triggers: Death, Substance abuse
I was given this book for an honest review by Wicked Reads.
I really enjoyed Beckett and Amelia's story.
While I didn't love how Amelia's story started, I did love how Beckett was quick to jump to her defense.
The brewery is under some pressure to get some new beers out for the public and Amelia is really wanting to nail the brews down. When Amelia comes back and sees what a mess she's left, she throws herself into work. However, there is a nagging feeling that she has whenever she's around Beckett. When she hears that he might be in trouble for defending her honor, she wants to make sure someone is looking out for Beckett.
Beckett has had a tough go of things. His dad's inability to move on from the past has shaped the kind of man he is. It also shaped his dreams, or lack of dreams. While Beckett loves his job, he knows that he would have led a very different life had tragedy not struck.
As he vows to get Amelia back into his life, he doesn't quite know how to handle more tragedy coming his way. Does he run and hide again? Or, can he open himself up to being vulnerable with those who love him?
Amelia wants what her sisters have. Loving someone is hard sometimes, but Amelia knows what she wants and is in a place where she thinks she can get it. Can she fight hard enough for both their hearts?
This was one of my favorite stories in this series. You have a lot going on, but underneath it all is friendship. A fantastic story about love, loss and forgiveness.

This was a lovely story in every way. The characters are strong and decisive, the relationships realistic and there’s just enough angst to feel the pressure of their lives. After being left at the altar by her fiancé, Amelia is conflicted. He handled things all wrong and could have spoken up much earlier, yet she suspects it was for the best because she’s never gotten over her first love, Beckett Stone. They were ripped apart years ago when tragedy struck his family and Beckett was lost in his grief, but he’s better now and determined to right past wrongs. Amelia’s cancelled wedding is the second chance he never thought he’d get and he won’t lose the woman he loves again.
Amelia takes her honeymoon alone and comes home with a clear head, determined to live her best life. She’s angry that Luka waited until the last minute to back out but isn’t sorry they ended things. Sparks fly as soon as she sees Beckett, but she worries they’re moving too fast since she almost married Luka just weeks ago. They can’t just pick up where they left off, or can they?
Beckett and Amelia are a perfect match but life seems to keep getting in their way. Their history of heartbreak means everything is on the line this time. The things pushing them apart aren’t what I expected at all so I could not put this book down and needed to know what happened next. I enjoyed learning more about them through their relationships, Beckett with his friends and Amelia with her sisters, but especially seeing how good they are together. The characters really brought this story to life and I loved every minute of it.
I was given an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

I felt bad for Amelia at the start, she knew she didn't want to get married, but what Luka did was a shit move. He deserved the punch he got! I do have to say, what he did after about the punch, showed what a pansy he was.
I was glad that Amelia took time for herself in the aftermath of no wedding, she needed that. It seemed like when she came back home she was in a good head space. I liked how Beckett showed up and how things started again with them. Clara sort of pissed me off with her words to both Amelia and Beckett, she was a bitch, even if she was doing it to protect both of them.
Beckett telling Amelia what had gone on in the past was a good thing. It allowed both of them to see what had gone wrong and I think helped them navigate when trouble came again at them.
I had tears in my eyes as Amelia talked about Beckett's dad and loved that she got him to see things differently and be at peace with what happened. I especially liked how she was able to help make Beckett's dream come true for him and how the Brewery thrived. This one was a good end to the series.
I was glad that Amelia took time for herself in the aftermath of no wedding, she needed that. It seemed like when she came back home she was in a good head space. I liked how Beckett showed up and how things started again with them. Clara sort of pissed me off with her words to both Amelia and Beckett, she was a bitch, even if she was doing it to protect both of them.

Book 3 in the Three Chicks Brewery Series and I was excited for Amelia Carter and Beckett Stone’s story and let me just say, it didn’t disappoint, this is one of those reads that leaves you with a big smile on your face and has you wishing and hoping they get the HEA they so deserve.
Amelia knows her beer, she is focused on creating the perfect beer and making the brewery a success, her past has her sworn off men and the last thing she needs is a relationship.
Beckett has loved her since high school but the timing was never right until now but it’s not going to be an easy ride getting her to take another chance on a man, so will he have the staying power needed to convince Amelia to take a leap of faith……
This book has it all, I swooned, I sighed, I laughed and I cried as I fell hook, line and sinker for this pair. Dirty Ginger is a book I will certainly read again and again and I highly recommend to one click this gem of a read.

Dirty Ginger brilliantly concludes the Three Chicks Brewery Series with a second chance romance full of feels and family. And with sparks galore, strong female characters, and plenty of entertaining moments I was easily hooked throughout.
Would happily recommend.

Dirty Ginger by Stacey Kennedy is a second chance romance. It's the third book from the Three Chicks Brewery series.
This one is about the middle sister, Amelia Carter, and her high school sweetheart, Beckett Stone.
Amelia and Beckett had been together while they were in high school but had broken up when she was leaving for college and he had to stay back after the family tragedy he had. A few years later she had met another man and was going to marry him. Her fiance left her at the altar. Amelia decided to go on the honeymoon trip alone and figure out what to do with her life. When she came back everything seemed to get better. She had more work to do, and Beckett came around to help. The feelings both suppressed came back full force. Being together felt good and comfortable but was now their time to finally be happy?
It's such a cute and heartwarming story. Just like the previous books, it's well-written and told by a dual pov. The plot is simple with minimum drama. It's solely focused on the relationship between them. There are a few spicy moments but most of it is on the heavy emotional side. Since it's a second chance romance you feel the content of the couple finally being together.
Their ending was incredibly sweet. The characters were great. They have a lot in common and both of them know about bad luck.
My favorite part was of them getting back together.
I loved this series, and I am so happy with how it ended. I will rate it with 4 stars.

This story was fine. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it was just kind of ... fine. Basically, I liked the characters, loved the steam level, and this story had a lot of promise because the idea was there, it just fell flat in the execution and ended up feeling like there was no real plot. I read through the entire thing, pretty quickly too because it was a short book, but at the end I couldn't figure out why I read it? Nothing really happened. There was a bit of personal growth for both the heroine and hero (which was nice), but not enough really went on to warrant an entire story, just them kind of having a second chance (and honestly it probably could have been a novella). I liked them, and as I said I liked the idea behind the story, but I just wish there had been more substance.
Regardless, it wasn't bad and I did enjoy some of the dialogue and the steam was *chefs kiss* so not a total loss, I just don't know how quickly I'll remember this one when recommending books. However, if you want a quick, steamy little read, then this one is for you.
Many thanks to Social Butterfly PR for my review copy!

Avid Reader – ☆☆☆☆☆
M/F Romance

I really enjoyed Beckett and Amelia's story.
While I didn't love how Amelia's story started, I did love how Beckett was quick to jump to her defense.
The brewery is under some pressure to get some new beers out for the public and Amelia is really wanting to nail the brews down. When Amelia comes back and sees what a mess she's left, she throws herself into work. However, there is a nagging feeling that she has whenever she's around Beckett. When she hears that he might be in trouble for defending her honor, she wants to make sure someone is looking out for Beckett.
Beckett has had a tough go of things. His dad's inability to move on from the past has shaped the kind of man he is. It also shaped his dreams, or lack of dreams. While Beckett loves his job, he knows that he would have led a very different life had tragedy not struck.
As he vows to get Amelia back into his life, he doesn't quite know how to handle more tragedy coming his way. Does he run and hide again? Or can he open himself up to being vulnerable with those who love him?
Amelia wants what her sisters have. Loving someone is hard sometimes, but Amelia knows what she wants and is in a place where she thinks she can get it. Can she fight hard enough for both their hearts?
This was one of my favorite stories in this series. You have a lot going on, but underneath it all is friendship. A fantastic story about love, loss, and forgiveness.
Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the third book in the series, and if you have read the previous two, I am pretty sure you knew what was coming! I certainly recommend that you do – so that you understand the dynamics between the three sisters and how they have come to the point they are at the beginning of this story.
It was so clear to everyone but Amelia that Luka was wrong for her, and once he does the dirty and leaves their wedding unmarried, but not unmarred, she has the chance to acknowledge her feelings of discontent too. That her first true love, Beckett, stepped up and inflicted harm on Luka in his anger, was surprisingly pleasing, even if the consequences cause problems later.
It was great to be back at the brewery and understand some of the work that goes into creating new versions. I was confused, however, by her coming back from Jamaica and the beer having gone off in her absence. It was a planned holiday, even if not that she went alone – so why had they not already sorted cover for while she was away? Given how meticulous she is, it just didn't ring quite true with me. A silly point, I know, but it was out of character, given how much of her energy she dedicated to her brewery.
I love Beckett's tenacity and singlemindedness, and thankfully it worked, which means that all three sisters are happy, in love, and all pursuing the careers of their dreams, not the obligations that they would have lived to honour their grandparents.
A good, fun, and very sexy read of second-chance love, and family obligations and redemption. Do have a tissue to hand, but even that is a freeing of a life.
Sarah – ☆☆☆☆
After being dumped at the altar, Amelia has to re-evaluate the life she wants for herself. She loves her brewmaster job, her family, and her community. And she might still have feelings for her high school boyfriend.
This is the third book in the Three Chicks Brewery series. There isn’t much to differentiate it from Amelia’s sisters’ books. In fact, I was sure I’d already read parts of this story. With two of the three sisters blissfully coupled-up, this is a little more sugary sweet than the first two books. The brewery is successful. The sisters are happy. Everything is just a little too perfect for me.
Beckett’s storyline adds some much needed conflict to this story. After a family tragedy, he has shelved his own cowboy dreams to take care of his father. Beckett is a little broken, a little insular, and he’s pretty easy to love. But while Beckett faces internal conflict, there is little conflict between him and Amelia. This is insta-love. Their backstory makes it plausible, but their relationship feels disappointingly easy.
I have to also admit that I didn’t love Amelia in her own book. The talented brewmaster seemed more spirited in her sisters’ books than she does here. Her domesticity is irritating. Even more annoying is her cheerful cooking, cleaning, and ‘taking care’ of Beckett. This side of Amelia jars against the other aspects of her character that I want to like. The first two books felt quite modern, but the cozy country community and traditional gender roles in this book feel quite dated. This isn’t my favourite book in the series but most of my reservations are down to personal preferences and I know other readers will enjoy this third book.

I am a sucker for second chance/small town romances and throw in the fact that the H is a cowboy and I was all in. Once I started this it was really hard to put it down! This is the third book in the Three Chicks Brewery series and I absolutely loved it.
Amelia Carter gets dumped at the altar and her fiance gets punched out by her ex-boyfriend....yes that is how the book started! After taking her two week "honeymoon" she comes home to get back to normalcy and little did she know that her ex-boyfriend and only true love, Beckett, would quickly become part of that normalcy.
Beckett has had regrets about letting Amelia walk away since the day she did so years ago. He knew he needed to fix himself in case the day ever came when she would end up back in his life. Opportunity presents itself when Amelia is left at the altar. She is the only girl he has ever loved and he wants her back....no matter how long it takes to get her.
From the moment these two have their first encounter after Amelia's wedding they are burning up for each other. Beck has trouble keeping his hands off of Amelia but he doesn't want to scare her off either and she comes to realize just how much she has always loved him. Their reunion is one of tenderness, fierce loving and rediscovering all in one!
Everything about this story had my heart happy including all of the characters. Beckett had my heart breaking on a couple occasions but Stacey made sure to mend it back together by the end. I have to say the time spent waiting for this story was totally worth it in the end.

Once I started reading Dirty Ginger by Kate Stacy I could not put it down. It contained some of my favorite tropes, high school sweetheart, second chance romances, a strong female lead and more.
When Amelia Carter walked down the aisle to get married she didn't expect the chaos that quickly ensued when her fiancé decided, at the altar, that he couldn't marry her and that they had let this go on too long. And she definitely didn't expect her high school boyfriend and good friend, Beckett Stone to punch her now ex fiancé in the face hard enough to break his nose. After all of that chaos Amelia is determine to put everything behind her when she is on what should have been her honeymoon and move on with her life when she gets back home. But when she gets back she finds out her ex is pressing charges against Beckett unless he pays the 10 grand to fix his nose, and Amelia can't let one of the most important people in her life go to jail for protecting her...
When Beckett finds out that Amelia has paid off her ex to get him out of jail he is livid. He didn't pay her ex because he wanted him to live with the reminder of what he did to Amelia, so he's determined for her to take his money no matter what. But during a heated exchange between Amelia and Beckett leads to a passionate kiss, he is determined to get back the girl he let go all those years ago and the one he never forgot...

Dirty Ginger (The Chicks Brewery #3) by Stacey Kennedy is Amelia and Beckett's story. Once high school sweethearts now Amelia is walking down the aisle to marry another man Luka. When Luka decides he doesn't want to marry Amelia, Beckett sees his opportunity to get the love of his life back. He has never stopped loving her and he was willing to wait for her. This was a really cute story of two people who never stop loving each other having another chance to be together. The journey back was not easy and quite rocky at times. The sex was hot and was definitely sweeter the second time around considering Beckett was her first.They were able to see after all this time apart just how strong their love was. It was also nice to catch up with the other sisters, their husband and their relationships. Mason of course is still a spitfire. It was cute seeing him and his antics. If you haven't read the other books please do so, especially since Beckett and Amelia's feelings was part of the other books. It was so nice to see Beckett go from pinning ex to his second chance at love. The ending was lovely. I was left with such a big smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart. A fabulous conclusion to this series. 4 stars for me.

Amelia Carter gets left at the altar right in front of her high school sweetheart Beckett Stone. And thank goodness for that, because Beckett has been waiting years for the chance to get her back. Unfortunately life is not as simple as that. Amelia decides to devote all her time to the family brewery and the six new beers she needs to create. Meanwhile, Beckett’s past has a way of catching up with him. As he tries to prove himself to Amelia, she has to decide if she is willing to open herself up to love again. Is their past an obstacle they can overcome?
There’s something about a guy who will punch someone in the face for you. *insert heart eyes here*. Honestly, Beckett is the perfect love interest - dealing with a lot but working to make himself better, he’s always there for Amelia when she needs it. On the flip side, Amelia focuses on healing her heart, and doing what makes her happy. As they work through what each of them needs, they have some incredibly sweet moments and are so well-balanced and obviously meant for each other. Stacey Kennedy knocked it out of the park with this lovely romance!

5 Star review of Dirty Ginger(Three Chicks Brewery #3) by Stacey Kennedy
Having read the first two books in the Three Chicks Brewer series I was excited to read Dirty Ginger. It was well written with characters that were easy to like and whose story you cannot help but become invested in.
Amelia Carter is a guru when it comes to creating the perfect beer, a woman who has been hurt once to often and has subsequently sworn off men. She is focused on making the brewery a success.
Beckett Stone (I just love his name) has loved Amelia since high school but since she was involved with her ex fiancee there was no point. Now all bets are off and although he knows he isn't the man for her he cannot help but pursue her. Now if only he can convince her to take a chance on him and what they could have.
Their road to happiness will be rocky but it will be worth it if they can make it through. I loved these characters, both separately and together. There were times I laughed, times I teared up and times I swooned. I was cheering for these two to get the happily ever after that they both deserved.

What a great way to end this fantastic series! I’ve wanted to read Amelia and Beckett’s story since I saw the sparks from them in the first book. I just didn’t know how emotional it would be. When Amelia is left at the alter by that loser, Luka, I actually cheered, even though it was sad for her. He clearly wasn’t worthy of her…or any woman, honestly. But even new readers could see right away that Beckett was a guy who took charge, as well as took care, of the people he loved.
These two deserve a second chance at love, especially because they’ve managed to remain friends after their breakup. That showed me just how much they were still in each other’s hearts. While I don’t mind messy breakups that eventually lead back to love, the lack of general angst was just so very refreshing. Amelia and Beckett were my favorite couple for that reason alone.
Dirty Ginger can be read as a stand-alone, but I had so much more fun binge reading (well, re-reading the first book) the whole series in order. Stacey Kennedy did a wonderful job creating three different stories about three very different but wonderful sisters who loved each other. Two thumbs up as well as five enthusiastic stars!

Okay have to say finally we get Beckett and Amelia's story and wowza. Never did like Luka too much of a city boy for me and Beckett is everything that well completes Amelia in every way. The Three Chicks Brewery is growing and seeing this whole family again was great especially Amelia again. In a way it felt like these two have been in a long game of chase coming to this explosion of being together again in a way that has been well long overdue. Even though he has things going on his life that is hard to explain Beckett still makes room for Amelia to find happiness. Here is a man who has never stopped loving his woman and definitely not letting another chance pass him up. I loved that even though Beckett tried to do things slow the passion and love they have is stronger than ever that even they are surprised of it. Stacey Kennedy and these sisters and their men are just perfect for the summer love how even in spirit their Pops still guide them to their true loves. Loved it.
