She’s a political princess and media darling... 

There’s no such thing as bad publicity. Yeah, right. Tell that to the PR firm that handles Tracy’s very prominent political family. Pushed by scandal from Boston to the boondocks, now she’s on the other side of the serving tray, dishing up beer and burgers, hoping no one recognizes her. But there’s something very familiar--and maddeningly tempting--about the new caterer at Speakeasy. 

He’s a cranky recluse...

Colton was the star of the celebrity chef circuit until he wasn’t anymore. Now he lives in a remote country cabin and spends his time alone, far from the spotlight and liking it that way. Until the gorgeous new waitress at Speakeasy starts poking at his resolve and suddenly all he wants is to see her let down her hair. And spread it all over his pillow. She’s got secrets he knows he won’t like, but he can’t stay away from her.

She lives in the spotlight, and he hates attention. When her public life collides with his private one, can their love write a fairy-tale ending after all?

My Rating - 4 Stars!

Sideways is the fourth book in the Speakeasy Taproom series. This is Lisa Hughey's contribution to this multi-author, small town series.

This is a story with a lot of family issues, as CeeCee comes from a political family. There's a world of shame forced upon her which had me confused at the start. I have no clue why she was so scorned for having a dating app. That had me distracted as it made no sense. Of course, towards the end, it sort of made sense. But it still seems weird to me, thus keeping my rating a little lower. 

CeeCee and Colt are complete opposites, with Colt resenting all CeeCee represents.

I appreciate the situation both characters are stuck in. Both are struggling to decide their future. Colt's been stuck with no future plans or goals, after having a public breakdown. It makes for an interesting element, with CeeCee able to help him. 

I adore the way the two come together and the way things evolve for them. I adore seeing the way Ceecee helps forced Colt back into his career as a chef. 

And then there's CeeCee. She's running and has a secret. Both leave a little tension looming throughout. 

Sideways is a great read. I enjoyed the Lisa Hughey romance. It's a nice, touching addition to this small town series.
