Totally Folked: A Small Town Romantic Comedy (Good Folk Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Penny Reid (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 3,380 ratings

One unforgettable night leads to an unlikely shared connection, and unlikely connections never go unnoticed by the good folks in Green Valley, Tennessee. . .

Jackson James follows the rules. He has to. He’s a sheriff’s deputy in a super small town with a super big personality. However, strict adherence to the law during the day has been enjoyably balanced by rakish rules at night. Jackson, typically happy to protect and serve (and serve, and serve), starts questioning the value of wayward evenings when getting laid starts to feel more like being waylaid. Could it be that Green Valley’s most eligible—and notorious—bachelor longs for something (and someone) real?

Mega movie star Raquel Ezra follows only one rule: always leave them wanting more. Studio execs, reporters, audiences, fans, lovers—no one can get enough of the smart, savvy, and sexy bombshell. But when “generous offers” begin to feel more like excessive demands, years of always leaving has the elusive starlet longing for something (and perhaps someone) lasting.

When Raquel abruptly returns to the quirky Tennessee hamlet, her path crosses with the delectable deputy with whom she spent one unforgettable night. Unfortunately, scandal and intrigue soon follow. Raquel and Jackson must decide which is more important: following their rules? Or, at long last, finding something real.

‘Totally Folked’ is the first book in the Good Folk series and is a full-length, small town, contemporary romantic comedy novel.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely completely loved!!!!
    Reviewed in Australia on 20 July 2021
    Why is it so hard to write reviews for books that make your heart sing? I went into reading this knowing I was going to love it, but it was next level love and I wasn’t prepared for that.

    Jackson is everything I hoped and wanted and then some. He is sweet, kind, patient, humble and soo freaking inconspicuously sexy. He did drive me crazy a little though with his gentlemanlyness 😆

    Rae is lost and doesn’t know what she wants or who she is anymore. It was so awesome watching her grow into her own person and being herself. She is so fun and witty, I couldn’t help, but want her as a real life friend!

    The chemistry between these two is mind blowing. Like I can’t even. I needed a fan. It was also an agonisingly slow, slow burn. You get teased and tortured.

    This book also gave me all the feels. I laughed a lot, I got frustrated for characters, it’s packed with sweet moments that make your eyes bleary, and you get some old favourites.

    I can’t put into words the amount I loved and adored every single minute of reading this. I can’t wait for more from this new series!

    I was given an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

    I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.

    Totally Folked is a book I read without even looking at what the story was about. Knowing it was written by Penny Reid and a spin off from the Winston Brothers was enough information for me. But I confess it took me a while to get into this story probably because I tend to steer away from books with movie stars as main characters and books with fake relationships.

    So what kept me reading early on? Jackson. I was intrigued by his behaviour and his need to always do the right thing. He has an inability to ask for what he wants or needs and the more we delve into why the more my heart broke. And while I did have a good cry during part of this book it is very much a rom com..

    Rae (Raquel) is a good woman even if she is a bit of a mess. I don’t blame her for escaping to Green Valley to get away from it all to get herself together. I really liked that the longer she stayed the more realised what she wanted, and what she didn't.

    Rae and Jackson are a fun and sexy couple but it isn’t all smooth sailing. I loved that their friends in Green Valley kept interfering to help the couple together. Cletus Winston’s meddling in particular was just brilliant.

    Jackson and Rae’s romance left me with all the warm and fuzzies. But the thing that really stayed with me was how much I enjoyed seeing Rae find a home in Green Valley not just with Jackson, the love of her life, but with new friends and good people which is just whatI want from a small town romance. This gets a solid 4 stars from me.

    Reviewed in Australia on 25 August 2021
    Well if you haven't read Penny before, you should. Start with beauty and the moustache. Thank me later. She is easily the best author in this genre going around. She is hilarious. This book was awesome. Theres no point raving here cos you've either read everything else and are up to this one and so you know she's brilliant or you havent read anything and you should do yourself a favour and start back there. You can totally read this as a standalone, but you are missing out. Also, the audiobooks are 👌. Go on. Get started

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing romance in Penny Reid’s Green Valley
    Reviewed in Australia on 20 July 2021
    “I’d never measured myself by how or whether others loved me. It made me feel small, enormously sad, and lonely-all the feelings I’d been running away from in L.A. Apparently, I hadn’t left them behind on the West Coast but had simply distracted myself with new scenery instead. Same feelings, different geography. “

    Totally Folked is the first in Penny Reid’s new series Good Folk:Modern Folktales) and is Jackson James love story with movie mega star Raquel Ezra, or as we all like to call her, Rae.
    Five years ago, our two main characters met and had an unforgettable night together, and they have not spoken or seen one another since then.
    Jackson James is 100% a character that I was so curious and intrigued by, I was so eager to read this book and let me tell you, he (and Penny Reid) did not disappoint!!
    Full of swoon and slow burn, promises are made with burning eyes full of passion and I revelled in every single word!
    Raquel Ezra is a movie star living in LA and cannot forget her night spent with Jackson James in small-town Tennessee five years ago.
    Jackson James is a deputy Sheriff in his hometown of Green Valley, Tennessee and cannot forget his night spent with Raquel Ezra five years ago.
    When Raquel ventures back to Green Valley for her own personal journey of self-discovery and to spend some time with her friend Sienna Diaz-Winston, she gets more than she bargained for, more than she hoped for in this little town in Tennessee. Friendship, romance, love, lust and longing, Penny Reid has woven an intricately detailed story simple in its premise, yet one that tells so much more within its pages.
    Rae is a mess. She has lost her own vision of herself and is caught up in the Hollywood pretense. Jackson has moved on from his days of no commitment with women, and is trying to be the man he feels he needs to be, wanting a life with somebody he loves and cares about.
    I love how we get to know these two, their inner thoughts and demons and how together they slowly become the person, the real person they are meant to be. Penny Reid can certainly write a romance full of swoony moments with sweetness and steam and a longing that had me turning the pages reverently, wanting to know where this story would take me!
    Being back in Green Valley with all our favourites is a highlight too and I enjoyed seeing where they are all at in their lives.
    A must-read for all fans of Green Valley and the Winston family, Totally Folked is another gem written by Penny Reid, and a series I can’t wait to read more of.

    I received an early copy of this book and this is an honest review.

    I ADORE the Winston brother books, so I was keen for another fix now they are all loved up and happy. This book is set with some if the background characters from those books.

    Look, it was fine. Good even! Sweet and sexy and fun to read. I'll read it again and enjoy it too.

    But it's just not the same.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Slow burn goodness
    Reviewed in the United States on 29 November 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Small town, slow burn goodness with a hero whose self-doubt made my chest ache; this is quite the series starter. I went into this with an interesting perspective - I've read a few of Reid's books, but it's been 3 years since the last time and I certainly don't know all of the inner workings of this small town. I know many readers hated the hero, Jackson, before they even dived into Totally Folked, but he's just a reformed playboy to me - and a very, very compelling one at that. The prequel novella, Just Folking Around, certainly left me with quite the first impression. Jackson is steady and sexy, confident some moments and breathtakingly vulnerable in others. Jackson's playboy past has shaped him into the man he is today, and his desire to love and be loved was one of the best parts of this book.

    Note: this love story begins in the prequel novella, and that is absolutely essential for your enjoyment of Totally Folked. The story would feel exceedingly slow-paced if you haven't experienced Raquel and Jackson together first. My ebook copy included the novella at the start, but the audio version does not. Be sure you read that first.

    The story follows Raquel, a bombshell of an actress who is tired of faking it. She loves acting, but everything else that goes along with it is beginning to feel tiresome. Not only does she fake it for the cameras, but she's also been faking a relationship for the last several years. So when she returns to the small town that made a lasting impression 5 years ago, it's a breath of fresh air... and she's secretly hoping that she'll run into the man who made her last visit so memorable. Jackson and Raquel have the kind of chemistry that could light a match, but he isn't the same guy that she left behind - and he doesn't seem overly enthusiastic about her return.

    This is a series starter that WILL stand on its own, but there are a LOT of appearances from past couples and characters. I'm only vaguely familiar with the series that this spins-off from, and I had no trouble keeping up. But if I have one complaint about the book, it's that there could've been more focus on our couple instead of the town itself. Longtime fans are sure to appreciate the many characters who make this a richer, fuller experience, but anyone starting out is just going to want more Raquel and Jackson. Because they were fantastic together. Their banter and chemistry had me hooked from their first interaction in the novella, and that spark of attraction is what allows this slow burn romance to truly simmer. It's a slow, laidback pace that's heartfelt and a little emotional, pairing moments of humor with some quiet depth as well. I loved Jackson's backstory and he is an absolute gentleman in present day - easily one of my favorite parts of the story. His heartache and yearning had me turning the pages, and Raquel and Jackson's happy ending felt deep and real by the end... even if more time could've been spent with them instead of the townsfolk. But maybe I'm just being greedy - this was definitely good.

    Audio note: I liked it! The audio was enjoyable and perfect for an easygoing listen. Both narrators did a great job, and I particularly liked the subtle accent of the male narrator. They enrich the small town feel and their voices were soothing and almost calming for me. It's dual narration and the perspectives shift from chapter to chapter, so we get plenty of both voices throughout. The slow burn of the story lends itself well to a workday listen (very little NSFW content until later on), though the length is a bit cumbersome. At over eleven hours, it took me two days to get through the whole book, AND I had to read through my ebook of the novella before starting - because I wasn't about to use another credit on a 60ish page introduction. Certainly worth a listen, just be aware of the novella element before diving in.

    Raquel and Jackson are really lovely, and if you've read their novella prequel.. well you know they have amazing chemistry and definitely will want to read what happens when they see each other again... ALMOST SIX YEARS LATER!!
    I was stunned when I realized how much time had passed between the novella and the book! But those two definitely aged well, and Jackson after beeing super annoying in the past books totally sneaked up on me, I would have never thought I could like him so much!

    When you read as many romance books as I do it takes a truly excellent story to hit the heights and this is that book. I loved being back amongst the Winston clan, though our leading man this time was the previously rather unloveable Jackson James. The dynamic between him and Hollywood star Rae was gorgeous and I loved the inner dialogues of the lead characters as they negotiated their way to happiness. On to the next in the series!

    She’s done it again! Penny Reid has written an absolutely engrossing, masterpiece of a story!
    When I initially found out Penny was writing a novel for Jackson I was so freaking pumped!!! The entire community/group of Green Valley locals and yokels have always held a special place in my heart. 😊❤️ The Winston Bros series was one of the first full series’ I ever binge read. Ahhh, memories… 😊 *wipes away tear of nostalgia* ❤️ I adore those books and they still reside on my shelves. The fact that I am able to continue to add to my Green Valley shelf is incredibly exciting! I know Jackson’s gorgeous mug will fit right in with the handsome band of bearded brothers! You know the ones! 😉😂
    The fact that Penny gifted all her long time, “ride or die” readers with this amazing continuation of everyone’s favourite township was so amazing! Plus, I loved the fact that you get to revisit all the best Green Valley peoples while exploring some new faces too. I am so immensely happy I can say that “Totally Folked” will not disappoint Penny’s devoted fans!
    I truly enjoyed every word in this book and couldn’t put the story down from the second it showed up on my kindle. Jackson and Rae’s story has absolutely lived up to the fantastic-ness that encompasses all the other (technically) connected stories that came before it! So perfect! 😊
    Penny did a superb job of developing and describing the characters in this story, not to mention the phenomenal depicting of emotion(s) throughout every scene. As well, like with all of her written works, she kept a perfect balance between lighthearted romance and more serious and mature aspects/scenes throughout the entire story. Basically this story and these characters are superb and you need them in your life! But, I bet no one is surprised that Penny has successfully made every single Reider completely swoon over Mr. James… I’d expect nothing less from this unmatched author! 😉👌🏻❤️
    To sum this review up: Jackson and Rae’s story is a must read! 👌🏻 I think this is some (only one of, because there are so many amazing Penny Reid books I can’t pick just one) of Penny’s best work yet and I HIGHLY recommend this story!
    Once again, I love, love, love this story and know you will too! Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    P. S. Jackson I love you, you swoon-worthy devil! 😻 You’ve got yourself a good one Rae.😉😘

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2021

    This is book 1 in a brand spanking new book series by Penny Reid loosely based on fairy tales in the modern world setting.

    This story features a unloved, annoying and irritating character in the lives of our beloved Winstons - Jackson James, son of Sheriff James in the Green Valley. Before reading this book he was not someone I would like to read about, as a serious love interest and main character.

    This book does him such justice. He comes off as reliable, trustworthy and a serious and honest person. We see Raquel in the novella as a flighty actress who is never in a committed relationship. I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful and heart-warming story.

    This book is an eye opener in a way that the stories narrated by a character has it's own prejudices and is tainted by their own experiences like how Ashley, Cletus, Beau and Duane speak about Jackson.

    Also tbh all characters from Green Valley deserve a story about themselves and hence the Smartypants romance spinoff books.
