She’s the town’s quiet bookworm. He’s the tattooed rebel her brother warned her about. Too bad her heart didn’t listen.

Jana Bailey keeps to herself. Running her cozy bookstore. Avoiding drama. But all bets are off the moment Felton struts in—leather jacket, rough hands, and eyes that burn.

He’s trouble. Her brother’s old crew. A single guardian to his kid sister. The kind of man who doesn’t do gentle. But when someone threatens Jana, Felton steps in with fists, fire… and something fierce in his eyes.

The tension sizzles. The kisses? Forbidden and addictive. But Lushhaven doesn’t forget, and neither do the ghosts from his past.

Can a good girl survive a rebel’s world? Or will love like theirs go up in smoke?

Title:  Lustful Town Rebel Love
Series:  Lustful Small Town Nights #9
Author:  Penny Snoak
Published:  December 23, 2025
My Rating:  4.5 stars

Lustful Town Rebel Love is the ninth title in the Lustful Small Town Nights series by Penny Snoak.  I jumped into this series at this point and didn’t feel a bit lost. Yes, I might have known the secondary characters better if I’d read the earlier ones, but that did not diminish the enjoyment of Jana and Felton’s story.  In fact, I now need to go back to the beginning, which is probably an indication of how much I enjoyed their story.

Felton has held on to his feelings for Jana for years now.  She’s his friend’s sister, and off-limits until he can tell his friend just how important she is to him.  But plans rarely fall neatly into place, and when Jana is threatened, all bets are off as Felton steps in to protect the woman he’s falling hard for.

I enjoyed Felton and Jana’s fiery romance so much.  It’s well-written, emotional, passionate, with just the right combination of bad boy/good girl vibes.  If this sounds like your kind of steamy romance, then you’re going to love Lustful Town Rebel Love by Penny Snoak.
