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.

Saving Jake by Sharon Sala

Let me start by saying that I had no idea that this was book 3 in a series.  The book was so good that I thought it was a stand-alone novel.!!  This book tells the story of Jake and Laurel (which makes me think of "Arrow") and tells the story of how they became to accept each other's painful past and learning how to move forward with love.  This book is a wonderful example of storytelling and I enjoyed myself while reading this book.  The way the author tells this story makes it entertaining in a classy, simple way and I could not have asked for a better story.  This story gripped my heart and I was surprised by the chemistry that jumped off of the pages when it came to Jake and Laurel.  Laurel's daughter, Bonnie, just makes this book even more sweet than it already is.  I really miss when books were written like this and there is no specific point of view and it allows the author to explore different characters.  By allowing different charact...
