Synopsis (Goodreads):

One night? No strings? A sexy game of chess? No problem.

If you've never read a Penny Reid book before, this is the place to start! An all new series starter snack from the author of the WINSTON BROTHERS and KNITTING IN THE CITY series. . .

Raquel Ezra loves to fish. With so many fish in the sea, she’s never had a problem baiting the hook or reeling them in. Raquel is a good actress, she can be anyone’s fantasy for a single night as long as they agree to be hers. Which is why she doesn’t think twice about spending an evening in nowhere Tennessee with a smokin’ hot, well-mannered, and intriguing sheriff’s deputy by the name of Jackson James.

Except, when the time comes, Raquel discovers that reality might just be better than any fantasy, and maybe she’s not ready to release this catch.

JUST FOLKING AROUND is a 16k words, contemporary romance, a complete standalone, and is the prequel to TOTALLY FOLKED, book #1 in the Good Folk: Modern Folktales series.

Thoughts on Just Folking Around: Well. We've known Jackson for AGES now (seriously, the guy has popped up as a background player in how many GV books now? MANY!) and I NEVER thought he'd be hiding such an interesting quirk. THE MAN HAS UNPLUMBED DEPTHS. Of sorts. Maybe I want to say he has a unique way with his ice cream eating and HOO-BOY did Raquel like that about him.

*ahem* She also liked his giving nature. And since her cardinal rule about dudes wasn't broken, THIS IS NOT THE END OF JACKSON AND RAQUEL!

That said, we didn't get to delve into all Jackson's depths. From the looks of things, he has many. And they are varied. I can only imagine Raquel will have a grand time finding out all the nooks and crannies of Jackson and Green Valley and how everything fits together in this small town when their time comes. This is only the beginning, my friends! *thumbs up*
