Kiss my Boots by Harper Sloan

Author: Harper Sloan
Release Date: July 18, 2017
Rating:  3 ⭐⭐⭐




I'm going to start this review with two of the most used phrases in this book "Kiss my boots" and "hell-raiser".  Seriously, these two phrases were mentioned at least 20 times EACH!!  😲

"Kiss my Boots" is the second installment in the Coming Home Series and it follows Quinn, the baby sister in the Davis clan.  If you read book one then you know that Quinn was Leigh's best friend and now, her future sister-in-law. Quinn and Tate were childhood sweethearts until Tate left one summer nine years ago and never returned.  All of Quinn's attempt to reach out to him were not successful and this broke Quinn's young heart. Now Quinn is a "hell raiser" as everyone calls her and she is also the best mechanic in town.  Finally after nine years apart, Tate makes his grand return to Pine Oaks and his first mission is to get back the woman who he has loved for as long as he can remember.

That is pretty much all that I have to say about the plot because nothing really happens. I wanted Tate to grovel more than he did in this story and I think that with nine years gone and the heart break that ensued, it should not have been so easy.  Now I am not looking for the hero to grovel for the entire book, but what I am looking for is for a hero to grovel for at least half of it so the make-up can be awesome. That is one of the major issues in this story.  There is no angst or intensity and there is entirely too much monologue.  It took so long for Tate and Quinn to come face-to-face and it pulled me out of the story. 

I was expecting a really exciting story with Quinn because she was a great side character in book one.  But in her own story, she played second fiddle and she did not shine like I expected her too.  Tate was an okay hero, I guess, and he was sweet, but he was not interesting to me.


I have minor spoilers from book one, so be warned… Maverick and Leigh's wedding was heart touching and sweet and it added a nice touch of emotion.  The twist at the end served no purpose at all and their relationship was just "blah". I gave this story 3 stars because the first half is actually enjoyable and the sex scenes are hot to say the least, but the repetitive use of those two phrases and the monologue really dragged this story in to snooze ville.  Another thing that I liked about this story was the Texas drawl that was thrown around.  I do love my cowboys, but Tate was not a cowboy at all.  He was a doctor, so that kinda pulled me away too. 


Now the next installment will be about Clay, a real cowboy, and the eldest sibling of the Davis Clan.  I am really hoping that the author pulls back on the monologue and introduce some dialogue. Just saying…😏

Riding Hard by Laura Landish

Author:  Laura Landish Release Date:   March 26, 2019 What is it about quiet, broody cowboys that drives us women wild?   Is it the foul mouth or the panty dropping tone?   Whatever it may be, it is in this book.   I think I lost my religion while reading this book because it was so dirty. Grrrr.!!   My inner cheetah, yes cheetah because they are my favorite cat, came out… 😻I mean Wow.!! Okay let’s get to the meat of this cowboy stew shall we. This is book 2 of the Bennett Boys Ranch series and this one is about the quiet, broody older brother, Mark.   I was so excited to read his story because he was so mysterious and who doesn't want to see a cowboy fall in love.   Hopefully you have read book 1 because I am about to drop a spoiler.   Okay…Mark's younger brother James from book 1 is getting married at   resort outside of town and this is where Mark meets Katelyn, an event coordinator.   Now I will not go too deep into the story, but Mark and Katelyn's

Jackson by Emily March

Author:  Emily March Release Date:  June 25, 2019 Right from the start this book grabbed me and I have never been so happy to be held hostage.  This book was wonderful and it made me feel so alive.  This is the feeling that I get when I read a good book and I just want to lay here and bask in its glory.  The romance, the drama, the rawness, and the superb writing hit every mark for me.  I have read one other book by this author and it was titled A Kiss of Spring and that was a 5 star read for me as well.  The writing flowed like water within a river bank and the characters were so charming and likeable.  I just finished reading this like 1 hour ago and I had to get my thoughts on paper ASAP.  I got that warm gooey feeling and that is sure sign that I am in love with this book.  Enough of my praising and blushing, now let me tell you about this story. If you are like me and started in the middle of the Eternity Springs Series, you have found a safe place because even t

It's all about that Cowboy by Carly Bloom

Author Carly Bloom Release Date  January 14, 2020 Wow!. This was a really quick read for me and I was really surprised.  I was not expecting for the story to end so abruptly and I am unsure if that was the author's intention.  The story was surprisingly witty and it gave me a couple of chuckles. This story follows Jessica and  Casey in the small town of Big Verde and they were small tow, high school sweethearts.  Jessica is back in town for a funeral and she was hoping to go in and out of this small town without bumping into Casey, the town sheriff.  Will they find the flame where their loved burned again?
