Dirty-Talking Cowboy (Kinky Spurs #1)
by Stacey Kennedy
Blurb:
Shep
knows sex shouldn’t be on his mind. He’s got a world of responsibility on his
shoulders. He’s attempting to save his late father’s cattle ranch, Blackshaw
Cattle Company, from foreclosure. But Emma’s heated reactions to his touch make
ignoring her impossible. She’s the perfect distraction to make him forget that
his father’s company is a sinking ship.
While
their nights only heat up, soon emotions become tangled into the mix. Shep’s
not only giving Emma the hottest nights of her life, he’s also healing her
heart. With every encounter, she forgets her heartbreak. With every naughty
adventure, she stops mourning the life she left behind. And with every dirty
word whispered from Shep’s mouth, she stops thinking of all the reasons why she
shouldn’t fall for him. But when the past comes to claim Emma, she’ll need to
choose between the life she thought she wanted and the life she’s grown to love
with Shep. How will she say no to forever with a dirty-talking cowboy.

Holy
smoking-sexy-as-hell cowboys!
Stacey
Kennedy has been a favorite erotic author of mine for a while, with a varied
story subgenre that keeps me guessing, but I can honestly say that her sexy cowboys
are now my favorites. While they care
the same sexy alpha natures has some of her previous dominates there is just
that little bit extra ruggedness that draws my interest being that I’m a little
bit wild and country myself. I would
love to find myself a sexy cowboy willing to try to tame my heart like Shep did
for Emma. But while Ms. Kennedy
certainly strives to make her stories intensely sexual and passionately intriguing
there is a depth of heart that is undeniable to her writing which really brings
reader back again and again, and Emma and Shep’s story is no less so. Emma has
run from her life in New York City after a bastard broke her heart and betrayed
her trust, licking her wounds and letting herself heal while trying to decide
if and when she will return to that life.
She doesn’t want any man in her life anymore, but she can’t resist the intense
pull she feels toward Shep Blackshaw, a man with his own problems in life, but
that is willing to drop everything to come to her rescue when she is almost
killed. His strength and kindness are
tempered by the heat and intensity that he projects every moment of his
existence, but when he looks her way he lights her entire body on fire. Shep doesn’t have time in his life right now
for a woman, but the enticing Emma Monroe is not someone that he can resist and
when he finds himself alone with her again and again there is no way he can
stop himself from reaching out and grabbing what neither of them can deny they
want from the other. But as they spend
more and more time together, each determined to keep it just physical, the deepening connection is nothing compared to the emotional
upheaval that will come when Emma’s past comes back to haunt her and remind her
that she can’t hide from it forever. A
woman determined to hide and a man determined to bring her out of hiding… what
could possibly go wrong?!? I LOVED every second of this story, even when I was
crying at some of the more intense moments, but the chemistry and compatibility
between Shep and Emma was just too perfect to be denied. While I wondered at times why Emma didn’t just
grab the wonderful man in front of her and make him hers immediately I can
understand her initial fears I suppose, but after she got to know him better I wanted
to ask her what the hell was stopping her more than once. Shep similarly turned
a blind eye to the treasure in front of him a few too many times for me, but
thankfully he stepped up and showed Emma she was the woman he wanted more than
any other in time for her to make the right decision for everyone
involved. I enjoyed the ending of this
story and am looking forward to what comes next in the series and to seeing
what Shep, Emma and his family do with their new join business venture. (Wink
wink) Ms. Kennedy strikes gold again
with her sexy cowboys and their sensually dominate personalities and of course there’s
nothing wrong with a little bit of rope thrown in for a good time!
