Release Blitz & Giveaway:
BTW by Lucy Lennox & Molly Maddox
Cover Designer: Cate Ashwood
James:
My assignment is simple: go to the Cape and seal the real estate deal for my most important client. No problem. I’m good at my job, I know how to close a sale, and this time won’t be any different.
Until I meet Sawyer, the sexy young bartender I accidentally kiss in the broom closet. Turns out, he’s one of the owners I’m here to negotiate with.
Okay, so that complicates things. As does the fact that he doesn’t want to sell. Or that we can’t keep our hands off each other despite being on opposite sides. And most of all… that I might be falling for him even though I know better. I’ve made the mistake of falling for a younger man before and I won’t do it again.
Sawyer:
For me, family is everything, and nothing represents ours more than the Sea Sprite, the motel that’s been in my family for eighty years. Sure, others (cough*James*cough) may describe it as rundown or derelict or in desperate need of a wrecking ball. But I call it our legacy.
I’ve got plans -- big plans to renovate the motel back to its vintage glory. The only thing standing in my way is James Allen, the fancy-shmancy lawyer from New York with his adorable smile, jaw dropping assets, and his client’s millions of dollars.
James seems hellbent on destroying my future.
But maybe there’s a way for us to build a new one together...

My Rating - 5 Stars!
BTW: By The Way by Lucy Lennox and Molly Maddox is a feel-good, enemies to loves romance. This book grabbed onto me immediately and kept me riveted throughout. Part of the After Oscars series, it is easily read as a standalone.
Sawyer and James are complete opposites who end up finding their real passion with each other. They are full of intense want for one another, as well as intense hate. Sawyer is a small town boy trying to restore his family's inn. When James, a lawyer comes to town to work on buying the inn for his clients, the two naturally butt heads.
The differences between these two men is well established. Sawyer is a man with a vision for restoring his family's legacy. He's a man who's set on keeping his inn intact, all while improving it and proving to his family that he can do so. James is a total workaholic. I adore the way he and Sawyer start to bond despite their conflict and differences. His character growth is fabulous, with him needing to redefine his priorities.
The authors have created a memorable atmospheric read, with amazing descriptions of the land and scenery. Cap Cod's atmosphere is easily felt throughout, with the nostalgia jumping off the pages.
I enjoy the family issues and especially Sawyer's cousin, who adds a whole lot of fun to the story. The way Sawyer and his uncles relate to each other takes this story to another level. They certainly aren't just all about the money, as they have layers that make them likable as well. Personally, I can definitely relate to Sawyer's sentimental side and enjoy it throughout.
Written in alternating first person pov, the characters are well developed and easy to understand. The writing style is wonderfully soothing, with these two authors forming a stellar writing duo.
BTW: By The Way is a sentimental tale of two men with conflicting life goals. This Lucy Lennox and Molly Maddox story is sweet and compelling. It's a fabulous mix of enemies to lovers and opposites attract, combining plenty of heart, humor, and heat. I love it all and couldn't put it down.
“What’ll you have?” he asked with eyes flashing. He’d just finished laughing at something his previous customer had said.“Mai Tai,” I said automatically, wincing a little at the frivolous order. I glanced down the bar. Most folks were drinking draft beer or basic mixed drinks. There wasn’t an umbrella or pineapple garnish among them. For a second I wondered if I should have ordered something more manly, but then, of course, I had to stop and lecture myself about internalized sexism.“You sure?” There was a note of hesitation in his voice.I blinked up at him, ready to defend my drink order now that I was properly re-feminist-ed. But his furrowed brows weren’t teasing. They were concerned.I frowned. “Yes. Very sure. Why?”“Your face did a whole thing just now, like…” He paused and then shook his head. “Never mind,” he said, clearly deciding not to pursue the line of thought. “One Mai Tai coming right up.” His easy grin reappeared as he turned to make the drink.I couldn’t help but watch. After all, he was standing right in front of me. Despite the summer weather, he wore blue jeans that were clearly in love with him. They hugged him close and caressed every damned inch of his long legs and tight ass. It was impossible not to notice the way the muscles of his butt moved underneath that soft denim.My stomach did that flip again, except this time something squeezed even lower in my gut. Something close to desire.“The view costs extra,” he said over his shoulder. My face ignited as I realized he’d been watching me in the mirror behind the bar and had noticed me staring. I immediately dropped my eyes to my clasped hands on the lacquered surface of the bar. Since when did I perv on bartenders? Especially young ones who were clearly so outside my age range that it bordered on embarrassing.When the drink appeared in front of me, I forced myself to look up. “Sorry about that,” I said, still feeling hot in the face.He winked at me. “I was just kidding.” His grin spread slowly across his face, and he leaned in ever so slightly before adding, “For you, the view is free.”

About Lucy:
After enjoying creative writing as a child, Lucy didn’t write her first novel until she was over 40 years old. Her debut novel, Borrowing Blue, was published in the autumn of 2016. Lucy has an English Literature degree from Vanderbilt University, but that doesn’t hold a candle to the years and years of staying up all night reading tantalizing novels on her own. She has three children, plays tennis, and hates folding laundry. While her husband is no shmoopy romance hero, he is very good at math, cooks a mean lasagne, has gorgeous eyes, looks hot in his business clothes, and makes her laugh every single day.
Lucy hopes you enjoy sexy heroes as much as she does. Happy reading!

About Molly:
Molly Maddox is the pen name for a New York Times bestselling author who started writing at an early age because her older sister, Lucy Lennox, was a writer and Molly wanted to be like Lucy in all ways (she still does). When she’s not writing, Molly likes to cook, read, take pictures of her dog and cat cuddling, and finds an odd satisfaction in folding sheets so that the top sheet is indistinguishable from the bottom sheet.
She loves all things romance and is grateful every day she gets to write for a living.
