DIRTY-TALKING COWBOY (KINKY SPURS #1)

Emma Monroe has returned to River Rock, Colorado, after the death of her grandmother. Now she’s inherited a farm full of abused animals and she’s working as a waitress at the local hotspot, Kinky Spurs. The last thing Emma wants in her life is a man, as she’s still recovering from a recent heartbreak. But when a sensual and powerful cowboy, Shep Blackshaw enters her life, Emma begins to want things she shouldn't.

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.

Sweet baby Jesus, I love me some hot cowboy romance novels! I was excited to be given an ARC of this book. Stacey Kennedy never disappoints...and did I mention the hot cowboy part?

Emma is nursing a broken heart. She lost her beloved grandmother and the man she has been seeing for the past year shattered her. 

Shep is all kinds of yumminess! He's a cowboy through and through. From the moment Emma moved to River Rock Colorado, he's wanted her. 

I fell hard for Shep. He's got that cowboy swagger that I adore, but he's not cocky. He's just a really nice guy with a filthy mouth that would make most women drop their panties!

The chemistry is off the wall with these two. Seriously, the damn pages sizzled every time they hit the sheets...or the wall. 

I loved how vulnerable Emma was. She didn't make it a secret that part of her heart still cared deeply for her ex. I liked how conflicted she felt. It made the whole situation feel more realistic. 

Shep works hard at earning her trust while trying to keep his families business open. He's being pulled in many directions, but his sense of loyalty was very admirable. I can't say it enough, I really loved this hero! 

The story was fast paced, and made me want to ignore everyone around me. I found myself laughing at the witty banter between Shep and his brothers, Chase and Nash.

Speaking of Chase and Nash...there's going to be more sexy cowboy books from this amazing author! I seriously can't wait for Nash to be brought to his knees. Now there's a man who is crazy cocky!

This book is a fantastic start to what promises to be a decadently delicious series!

Nikki's Review:

Jesus. This book wrecked me. Like, it twisted my heart, flipped my tummy, and made me ugly cry. Picture me sitting all by myself snot and bawling! It was not pretty! I'm not gonna lie, some of the stuff in this story was difficult to read. The brutal truth in this book is both heartbreaking and amazing. Scarlett Cole has swept me off of my feet again with her brilliant story telling, and captivating characters!

Elliott had a shit start to his life. He was robbed of what most of us take for granted...a childhood. He was denied love and affection from the people who should have protected him from the world. So many times in this book I wanted to reach into the pages and cuddle him. I wanted to take his pain away. Kendalee was his chance at a redemption. She settled something in him. But she, and her son, also stirred up his demons. Poor Elliott was so conflicted. 

Kendalee is a mother who would do anything to protect her child. Her life is in turmoil and she doesn't have time for sexy rockstars. At least, that was before Elliott waltzed into her son's hospital room and smiled at her. 

I love these two together. They are both on their own journeys of healing, or trying to heal, but they recognize that being together quiets the raging storms in their minds. Gah! So many emotions in this book! I was in a constant state of blubberiness! One moment I'm all like...yay! It's sexy times with the rockstar! And then I was a hot mess because I spent time "inside" Elliott's head! I loved every moment of happiness and sadness. The raw truth in this book will bring you to your knees. You just have to be brave enough to go on the journey.

I love that we get to visit with the whole band in each of these books. And in true Scarlett Cole fashion, she's already pulling you in with little glimpses of storylines to come. She has a knack for torturing her readers with snippets of upcoming books. And the crazy thing is, I love it! I'm like a damn junkie! 

It's difficult for me to list all the reasons why I adore this book. I can't tell Elliott's story. It would feel like a betrayal to not let him tell it. One thing I can say for sure is that Scarlett Cole can write a story unlike anything I've ever read. She will drag you in and keep you turning the pages until the very end. You'll feel like you've been pulled through the mud by the end of it all, but it'll be worth it. If you're anything like me you'll curse her for the emotional upheaval, and praise her because you wouldn't have it any other way!

This book could be read as a stand alone, but I really REALLY think you should start with book #1, Jordan Reclaimed. You'll be happy you did!

About Scarlett Cole

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada were I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.
