Barreled Over

Trinity Distillery #1

By: Jenna Sutton

Narrated by: Ava Lucas

Ready for another round?

Ava Grace Landy's music career is humming along, until a shakeup at her label jeopardizes her recording contract and curses her with the world's worst boss. Determined to satisfy him, she partners with Trinity Distillery to access a larger male audience. To her surprise, she's the one who's satisfied - by none other than Jonah Beck, the gorgeous yet gruff man behind the bourbon.

No doubt about it, bourbon runs in Beck's blood. But it's audacious Ava Grace who makes it run hot. When she signs on as the spokesperson for his craft distillery, he doesn't plan on hoisting her onto an oak barrel and rocking the rick-house. Though he's convinced their lives don't mix - like a terrible cocktail - he can't keep his hands off the alluring country star.

Ava Grace and Beck try to keep their intoxicating relationship private, but the glare of her fame is too bright, revealing secrets they both want to remain hidden. With a spotlight shining on his tumultuous past, their future is at risk. Now they must decide if being together is worth sacrificing the career she loves and the company he's poured his heart and soul into.

I loved it

I loved this story so much. It was my first Jenna Sutton novel and it will not be my last. The characters were delightful and very much likable. Beck and Ava Grace were both well developed complex characters with intense chemistry. The secondary characters were all big supports and greatly added to the story. Relationships played a big part in the novel both romantic relationships and friendship.
The story had some angsty moments, some laugh-out-loud moments, and some downright steamy moments and I enjoyed every moment.
The story was narrated by Ava Lucas. I loved her voice and her portrayal of the different character. The slight accents she was able to add to the various characters really set everyone apart and gave the country feel to the story.
This was an amazing story and a wonderful listening experience and I would highly recommend it.

Bourbon and Olive Juice

Early in the book, Beck says his and Ava Grace's lives are like Bourbon and Olive Juice, they just don't mix. She proceeds to show him he's wrong. I love his endless supply of Bourbon t-shirts. I also learned that Bourbon can only be made in the U.S. It was a great listen - worth the credit! I'm looking forward to book 2.

Do bourbon and country music mix

She is Ava Grace Landy a country music singer he is Jonah Beck the co owner of Trinity Distillery. She mends a boast in male audience, Trinity needs a spokesperson. He has skeletons that have been hushed for years, and his attraction to this woman is not good for him, but with them being together all the time and she feels the same. Inner turmoil persists sacrifice’s are finally made by both for happiness and the careers they have both worked so hard for.
I was gifted this book by The narrator Ava Lucas, thank you, love your voice.

Cute Romance

This was a cute book that was different than anything I have read before. Usually it is the male character who is famous and falls for a regular person, but not here. It was a nice, refreshing read. I look forward to reading more from Jenna Sutton.

The narration was great! I always love listening to Ava Lucas!

Sizzling chemistry but slow realization

Barreled over was my first experience with Jenna Sutton's writing and I liked it very much.

Ava Grace was a great character. She had this loving and understanding and utterly positive personality. Her love ran deeply. She supported her family - whether they were by blood or by choice - every possible way. She was honest and had unwavering moral compass. The fame she worked hard for hadn't biased or changed her.
Beck was terrified of his own feelings, belittled what he had with Ava Grace for the sole purpose of protect himself. Even though he had his disappointments in previous relationships I still thought him a bit of a coward and hardheaded. Fortunately he realized his true feelings but not without a timely push from a good friend.
I loved their chemistry but I didn't like the heartache Beck's closed-mindedness caused.
I loved all I learned about whiskey.

I loved the narration. It was utterly enjoyable. Ava Lucas did a great job. Her voice was perfect for Ava Grace's character, matched how it was described in the book. I liked the way she impersonated the different characters with different voices/pitches and/or pace.
