Synopsis (Goodreads):
Personal trainer Jonah Bodine discovers more than he bargained for with the half-siblings he didn’t know he had in small-town West Virginia. Not only is his dead father a person of interest in a cold case disappearance, but the entire town seems way too invested in Jonah’s happily ever after potential.

His summer of solitude in a lakeside cottage is ruined when his matchmaking sister saddles him with an unwanted roommate.

Adorable, snort-laughing nerd Shelby Thompson came to Bootleg Springs looking for answers and ends up getting adopted by the town’s nosy elders. Maneuvered into sharing a cottage with the handsome trainer, she makes the best of a sticky situation by offering her perpetually shirtless roommate a strings-free summer fling.

Jonah is tempted. Very tempted. But Shelby has secrets. And as the Callie Kendall mystery unravels, Shelby’s own past comes back to haunt her. The danger is very real and so are the feelings she’s developing for Jonah.
Thoughts on Gin Fling: Hoo-boy! Things are heating up in Bootleg Springs and I AM READY FOR IT. But first, let's see about Jonah and Shelby.

Shelby (sister of GT) is in an interesting situation. Some people in town believe she's a reporter there to capitalize on the Callie Kendall case. And by some people, I mean the Bodine siblings. It takes some fast talking and a whole lot of explanation before Shelby has Scarlett on her side. And with Scarlett in the know THINGS HAPPEN. Soon Scarlett is setting up Shelby and Jonah as roommates and getting things moving in the matchmaking direction she thinks it needs to go.

On Jonah's end, he's glad he took the step to meet his siblings, but he still feels like a bit of an outsider after a year in town. His mistaken belief that Shelby is there to stir things up in Callie's case (and, by proximity, with his family) leads to some interesting moments. But once he finds out the truth...well, Scarlett has a pretty good eye for people she thinks are right for one another and it doesn't take long before THINGS HAPPEN.

Another twist in Callie's case, a little Bootleg justice served with gusto to the Bodine siblings, dino nuggets, training sessions, a little danger, steamy kisses, a man searching for a place where he belongs, and a lady who's stronger than she thinks. GOOD STUFF!
