A Taste of Shine
by Addison Cain
* “Prohibition. Gangsters. Moonshine. A badass heroine and a hero who’s alpha enough to make you swoon. You won't be able to put this book down! ”*
**He’s in love at first sight.**
The new girl in town is nothing but trouble. And deep *in trouble* in every possible way.
Chicago’s reigning kingpin wants Charlotte back under his wing. Radcliff’s right-hand-man wants her in his bed. But small-town moonshiner, Matthew Emerson, just wants her right where she is—safe in his arms and hidden away from her sordid past.
If only he could get her to listen to reason.
*Publisher’s Note: A Taste of Shine is book 1 in the A Trick of the Light duet.*

### Review
"After finishing the book, I went back to re-read the prologue to see how fine the ruse was set up from the beginning. It was intentionally written to lead the reader astray or lost in the reader's own assumption until the end of the chapter. The protagonists have their fateful meet up within the first few pages and it all circles back with sweet serendipity and intrinsic grit. There's a slow build up of emotions that's par the course for the strong, silent type Matthew, but Charlie's got spunk and that's the real fun meat of all of the author's books- the kickass, complex heroine. There's a languid pace for the country setting of the story juxtaposed to the rusted star of Chicago and Prohibition. Action-packed with adrenaline and curveballs to the plot, it's a sweet, charming read to soothe the soul. It's the cozy sweater of the author's thus far published books, perfect for this upcoming winter." - Ashley N.
