About this ebook

He needs to get her out of his system. Just once…

Hank Weller doesn’t help people. He leaves that do-gooder nonsense to his best friend, Beau Winston. Hank does what he wants, when he wants, with whomever he wants—and Hank does not want to hire Charlotte Mitchell to be an exotic dancer at his club, The Pink Pony. Sure, he can’t help noticing the dips and curves of her, how shrewd, smart, and funny she is, the fire in her hazel eyes. He’s always noticed. She’d probably draw a crowd and entice the regulars. But after Charlotte’s messy, public divorce made Hank’s club out to be the culprit—and made her the single mother of four kids—he doesn’t need or want any additional bad press courtesy of Charlotte Mitchell. Or the distraction. Unfortunately for him, the town’s prettiest charity case doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the words nope, no, and never.

Charlotte Mitchell doesn’t much like Hank Weller. Once upon a time, she used to. Years ago, she liked him a whole heckofalot despite other folks in town labeling him as “eccentric” and “nonconformist,” which were polite southern alternatives to “filthy rich” and “self-centered douchebag.” Her opinion of him changed dramatically after he volunteered to be her date to junior prom and then promptly stood her up. They haven’t so much as acknowledged each other in over a decade. But a sudden family emergency means Charlotte needs access to Hank’s club ASAP. Unfortunately for her, the narcissistic fancy-pants doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the words help, generosity, and compassion.

But he’s about to find himself schooled. Charlotte is going to teach Hank a lesson once and for all about basic human decency, whether he likes it or not.

Spoiler alert. . . he likes it. 😉

‘Folk Around and Find Out’ is the second book in the Good Folk series and is a full-length, small town, contemporary romantic comedy novel.

Ratings and reviews

Penny Reid is excels at writing romantic comedy and I loved Hank here – he is grumpy, standoffish and I loved getting his POV. Charlotte was a perfect fit for him since she doesn’t seem to ever care what anyone thinks and just does whatever she wants. The contrast between the two is part of what really made this work. I had a lot of fun reading this and especially loved Charlotte’s children and how Hank was with them.

Folk Around and Find Out by Penny Reid is about Hank Weller, owner of The Pink Pony, a strip club. Hank Weller and Beau Winston grew up together and have been best friends for years, and one would think that Beau's do-gooder personality would rub off on Hank. Charlotte Mitchell is a single mother to four children and Green Valley's most infamously pitied citizen. Charlotte is a gorgeous virtuous teacher's assistant at the local elementary school whose husband, Kevin Buckley, ran off with an exo
