Mist (The Smokey Blues Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Emily Mims (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars (15)
The widow of a lying drug dealer, dulcimer-player Kylie Barstow Richards finds herself struggling to see through the mists of the Smokey Mountains to the truth—about her life, about the nightclub where she works, and about the bluegrass-playing musician who has arrived to steal her heart.

SEEING CLEAR

Someone is distributing drugs out of the nightclub Acoustics, and undercover DEA operative Reynolds Navarro has come to Bristol, Tennessee, to find out who. His prime suspect? The beautiful and deceitful dulcimer player Kylie Barstow Richards, whose drug-dealing husband was gunned down and who now has illicit funds feeding into an offshore account in her name. To complete his investigation, Ren must gain her trust and access to her home. What better way than with a kiss?

Kylie hates liars. She has been lied to all her life, and Ren Campbell seems too good to be true. Handsome, sexy and talented, the bluegrass guitar player is everything she’d wished of her first husband. And suddenly he’s her protector, too. But as danger encroaches like the morning mists of the Smokey Mountains, Kylie must soon learn whom she can trust—and whom she can love.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Atmospheric Romance With a Nice Balance of Sensuality & Suspense
    Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2017
    Format: Kindle
    From its opening pages readers will find themselves quickly immersed in this atmospheric romance that has music bringing two people together under a haze of deception and suspense. Family and obligations serve as a backdrop to the burgeoning romance that gets put through the wringer. As feelings of love quickly turn to betrayal the past continues to weigh heavily on the hard-fought conclusion which had me guessing until the end.

    Kylie thought she had a good marriage with an honorable man until he was shot dead, leaving behind embarrassing truths as well as ruining her dreams for the future. Time passed and she's become content with her life of music and family but is surprised to find herself attracted to the wandering musician who's come to join the family band. Just as Ren becomes an integral part of her life the truth comes out about his real purpose and she's once again left heartbroken. With danger regarding Ren's real reason for joining their band coming ever closer to her, readers will be on edge waiting to see if she'll be able to keep herself safe along with healing her bruised heart. Kylie's a strong-willed heroine who values family and supports them every step of the way as they do her. Finding out the truth about her husband was heartbreaking but putting her dream in jeopardy was even worse. Music is everything to her, she shines when on stage, and it's what brings her and Ren together. Theirs is a crackling connection that has them making beautiful music together before she discovered the truth about him. How she handled that was believable and had me rooting for her every step of the way as she deserved a HEA for all she got put through.

    Ren's devoted much of his life to bringing others to justice through his undercover work with the DEA. It's left him little time for love and happiness which is why his attraction to Kylie catches him off guard. Even though she's his suspect he can't deny how much he cares for her. He soon becomes her champion, and a mentor for her son, which makes the fallout from the truth about his identity that much harder to deal with. Despite everything though Ren does whatever necessary to keep Kylie safe while putting his heart in jeopardy along the way. Ren's an immensely appealing hero, torn by duty but bound by it. He has a strong love and appreciation for music which is the basis of their sensual connection and leads to all sorts of musical foreplay.

    On a whole this was a well-paced story that nicely balanced romance with the suspense of who the real villain is. The identity of that villain is kept well-hidden until close to the end too which I always appreciate. Ms. Mims has vividly depicted the Smoky Mountain region with all its charm, sensuality, and tight-knit community feel that further helped immerse me in this compelling tale. Ren and Kylie were an enthralling couple who had me cheering for them from the first page to the last as they dealt with hurt feelings and hidden danger. Surrounding them are a colorful cast of secondary characters, mostly family, who support each other through all their highs and lows. The most memorable of them being Cooper, the direct and somewhat abrasive amputee who harbored moments of pity for himself. He was sometimes angry and prejudicial, sometimes an ass, but I still look forward to his story being told.. Ultimately, this was my first time reading a story written by Ms. Mims, but it won't be the last as she kept me captivated with this romance that's almost pitch perfect.

    4.5 STARS!

    I love a good mystery! I know this is a romance but it starts with a mystery and gets better and better. I could have done without Sawyer; he was a butthead. But you have to take the good with the bad when you are building characters. Kylie and Ren are perfect for each other and mesh well throughout the book. I loved the idea of their club being a stage for up and coming artists. I loved that the whole family was involved with the music and they traveled to other places to get their name out there. I was really sorry that it turned out to be someone in the family dealing the drugs and that he unfortunately died for his participation. I just really loved this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Story
    Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2016
    Format: Kindle
    Mist is a lovely story of a woman trying to put her life back together after a terrible turn of events in her past. Kylie was lied to so much by her late husband that she can hardly picture herself ever trusting another man. Until Ren comes into her life. She begins to fall in love with him and learn to trust again. Only trouble is...he's lying to her, too. But it's a part of his job as an undercover agent investigating Kylie because of her late husband's shenanigans.

    One of the things I loved about this story is the closeness of Kylie's family. She spends a lot of time with her son, her nieces, her brother and her mom. They love and support each other as they connect through music. I also really loved that you really and truly didn't know who the bad guy was right up until the very end.

    Of course, the best part was the love story. Ren, even though he was in a tough position, stepped up and became a support for Kylie and a mentor for her son. He was drawn to her and even though she was a suspect in a case, his gut told him that she was a good person and he couldn't help the way his heart led him. It was also fun at the end to see Ren back in his regular life and how different he was at home from when he was working undercover. All in all, a great story.

    I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

    This book really captures the down under on what happens in some music clubs. The book seemed very contemporary and authentic which added to the mystery . The romance was handled well especially after losing her jerk of a husband. I enjoyed the main character and how she dealt with every emotion that I could think of.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I love to read everything
    Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2018

    As a reader, I am guilty of choosing a book by its cover. After seeing the cover of Ruby, by Emily Mims, I decided to check out a sample. Realizing that it was a series, I decided to start on book one, Mist, during my vacation to Greece. I love to read everything, but a warm romance laced with some of my own bluegrass roots sounded like the perfect beach read. Emily Mims did not disappoint. Her characters were warm and funny, with real southern dialect, and her background in music leant reality to the main plot. She worked out a mystery that kept me in the story, which I finished reading in about three sittings. The Mist offers steamy romance, musical entertainment and a promise of more to come.
