Sweet-Loving Cowboy (Kinky Spurs #2)
by Stacey Kennedy
Blurb:
Harper
McKinney finished culinary school with big dreams. Right now, she’s a bartender
at Kinky Spurs. While she’s content with her life, her brother is determined
that she make a name for herself, because he wants her far away from what he
deems a trashy bar. But Harper refuses to go anywhere. She’s in love with her
brother’s best friend, Chase Blackshaw, and that love is keeping her in River
Rock.
After
the death of Chase’s father, he’s the one responsible for running the
construction of the Blackshaw Cattle Company’s guest ranch. Back in the day, he
had dreams of opening a construction company, but lack of finances kept him
working for the family’s cattle ranch. Now with the responsibility of his
family’s guest ranch on his shoulders those dreams seem far away. Though he has
bigger problems. His build is failing the inspections.
Now
Chase has more trouble on his hands. Harper, the woman he’s forbidden to ever
touch has decided to move to Las Vegas. She isn’t so little anymore, and Chase
is finding her all too tempting. She’s also not shy about what she wants. Him.
Naked. And giving her some sweet lovin’ in all the kinky ways he craves. But
neither Chase nor Harper can anticipate the fate that awaits them if they dare
give in to their desires, as Chase soon learns there is something far worse
than not being able to live out his dreams. It’s being given the chance to live
out his dreams but having to watch Harper lose hers.

Review:
So the Blackshaw men strike again… and they
are as kinky as ever. I am a fan of
Stacey Kennedy’s work and am really enjoying this newest series, revolving
around a family of cattle ranchers and the women that steal their hearts. The second brother Chase has fallen in love
with his best friend’s little sister and though he has resisted her for months,
ever since he began noticing her as a woman, it has become too much. Harper has been in love with Chase for a long
time, or at least in lust with him, but she knows his bro-code won’t allow him
to cross that line, even though he is the only guy she’s ever really wanted in
their little town. When she finally
decides she has put her dreams on hold, waiting for him, long enough, the tables
are suddenly turned and Chase is ready to give her everything her heart and
body desires. Chase knows that she is
leaving in a week and he refuses to stand in the way of her dreams, but he can’t
stop himself from taking her before she leaves.
Embarking on a fast and passionate affair, Chase and Harper are soon
both swept into the maelstrom of their cravings and desires, but it’s the emotional
connection that neither of them can deny that leaves them wondering if they
have made a mistake. Both begin to
question if a week-long affair is enough, or if their future could be something
so much more, something a lot more permanent, despite the forces against them
and the fears they will have to overcome.
Chase was the ultimate gentleman cowboy, sweet and caring in all ways
except in the bedroom where he is hot and kinky—and boy did I love every second
of seeing that man in action. It is obvious that he has a connection to Harper that
scares him, but he refuses to be the determent to her dreams, but at the same
time he never holds back those emotions from her, giving her all of himself
despite those fears and the trouble he knows it will cause. Harper is a little
bit lost, mainly because she has let life pull her along ever since the sudden
loss of her parents, never really digging deep to find out what, beyond Chase,
she truly wants for herself out of life.
I enjoyed watching her grow and find a way to embrace her independence,
even though she was afraid that it would cause a rift between Chase and her brother,
she isn’t willing to give up Chase without giving them a true chance. I really liked this story, and the sensuality
of the passion between Chase and Harper left me a lot warm more often than not,
and I could see that heat keeping their relationship deep and fulfilled for a
long time to come. I am looking forward
to Nash’s story next and I suspect I know who his woman will be and can see the
storm that will cause coming a mile away, yee-haw! Another fun and sexy read for sure, Ms.
Kennedy.
