Perfect for readers of Susan Elizabeth Phillips and Rachel Gibson, Molly O’Keefe’s second novel in her exciting new series—The Boys of Bishop—features an irresistible romance and unforgettable characters in a page-turning story that delivers equal parts emotion and humor . . . with a little edge to boot.As the daughter of a wealthy politician, Ashley Montgomery has had enough of her parents’ expectations for her future and is going her own way, volunteering to work at a refugee camp in Africa. But her act of charity turns dangerous when she takes a boat trip and is abducted by Somali pirates. Enter Brody Baxter, who was a bodyguard for the Montgomery family ten years ago and doesn’t think twice about coming to Ashley’s rescue. Handsome and tough, Brody has always done what needed to be done. So he swoops in, saves Ashley, and brings her to a place where she can rest and recuperate without the glare of the press and her demanding family: Brody’s small hometown of Bishop, Arkansas. But Ashley soon realizes that she’s not the only one in need of healing.
Holed up with Ashley in a tiny apartment over his brother’s bar in Bishop, Brody is tempted and torn in ways he never anticipated. Beautiful Ashley, vibrant despite her ordeal, fearless enough to love him beyond his wall of self-punishment, is now determined to save him. But with a little faith and a lot of love, they just may find happiness in each others’ arms.
WILD CHILD, the first installment in the Boys of Bishop series, is available now.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Never Been Kissed by Molly O'Keefe is the second book in her Boys of Bishop series. This book begins smack dab in the middle of some bad circumstances and as far away from Bishop, Arkansas as you could imagine. A truly heartwarming story focusing on Brody Baxter, brother to Sean Baxter and friend to Jackson from the first novel and on Ashley Montgomery, daughter of a wealthy politician and someone Brody already knew from his past while working for her parents.
Ashley is tough and kind and very broken when Brody finds her and rescues her. She can't believe that it's Brody that came for her and that it was her own politician brother that sent him in the first place.
Brody is a very closed off person. He was adopted by a couple who had trouble conceiving but a few short months after his adoption, his new parents got pregnant. He always loved his new family, but his whole life he's been afraid of losing them like he did his birth parents so he never allowed himself to fully open up and accept their love or reciprocate appropriately.
As a grown man, bringing Ashley back to his hometown to recover is breaking down the walls he's had built for years and he isn't sure what he wants to do about it. Leaving again is his first instinct but with Ashley in the picture it's not so simple.
I am really beginning to love this series. Whereas it isn't over-filled with steamy scenes there are enough to satiate all but the raunchiest appetites and the people feel real. Even though each story focuses on a couple, it doesn't do so to the exclusion of other town members. I'm very excited to read both the next books, Between the Sheets and Indecent Proposal.
