Blog Tour- Last Cowboy in Texas by Katie Lane


A DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS NOVELNO SAD SONGS HERE, DARLIN'

Country music princess Starlet Brubaker has a sweet tooth for moon pies and cowboys: both are yummy-and you can never have just one. Now Beckett Cates may not be a cowboy, but he certainly has the heart, soul-and body-to whet her appetite. He's a sexy ex-Marine with a touch hotter than the scorching Texas sun and arms strong enough to catch her when she lands into trouble.

Playing bodyguard to America's sweetheart isn't easy for Beckett. But falling for her sure is. Unfortunately, Starlet has a reputation for keeping a guy or two wrapped around her finger and Beckett refuses to be anybody's backup. So now it's up to Starlet to prove that she's put her cowboy-crazy days behind her. Otherwise, she'll be singing solo instead of living in harmony with the man who's loved her even before her fame and fortune.

My Review

I have to say that I enjoyed this story. Beckett and Star are full of sparks and the banter between the two of them is great. Star the poor thing is all sorts of messed up... She has changed everything about herself and tries to take care of the family that never took care of her.

Beckett thinks everything about Star is fake and when he starts to see the real her sparks fly but Star isn't as innocent as she seems. He also is there to pick up the pieces and finds out that she is so busy pleasing everyone else she forgets to take care of her.

This book throws some wild things at you and for those who haven't read any of Katie Lane's books I suggest you read them because you might be a little confused if you pick this up and just read. It doesn't have to be read with the series but I would suggest it.

Over all this a good read. There is drama, kidnapping, sexy cowboys, redemption and a major happy ever after.

I rate this book a 4 out 5 Genie Lamps 
I received an ARC of this book in return for my honest review.

Cover Reveal Jon Black's Woman by Tilly Greene

Jon Black was part Native American, but that didn’t define him. Being a retired Marine and cowboy who managed his friend’s ranch didn’t either, but they all had a part in making him into a man. Tall, strong and handsome, he was the dream catch for single women and some married ones across a few counties. The dominance he displayed in the bedroom was exciting, hot and pulled even more ladies into his bed, but only one woman struck him silent and ripped his need to the surface—Molly.
 
An English rose by way of Japan comes to Montana and is everything he wants in his life. Has he finally met his match, his mate for life or is she too much for him to handle?
 
*This book is a Contemporary Western Erotic Romance which contains bondage, tattoo and toys

Review A Very Russian Christmas by Krystal Shannan

Description 
For most of her adult life, bodyguards have shadowed Ksenia Sharanov, daughter of a Russian mobster. Her one serious relationship left her broken-hearted when she learned he only sought her father’s power and money.

A ski vacation with her college roommates ends on a terrifying note. Her father’s enemies have been following her more closely than anyone could have anticipated. The mistake will cost a life…but will it cost her heart? Or will she find love in the arms of a complete stranger?

Matt O’Reilly, a retired Marine, generally keeps to himself. Working as a deputy in a small country sheriff’s office, provides just enough seclusion for him to cut himself off from his family’s pity and the heartache of losing his wife. He never thought love would be in the books for him again. Will the sudden arrival of a spunky dark-haired Russian beauty change his mind?

My Review

This is a very quick read but it has so much going on it that you don't feel shorted. I love how connected Matt and Ksenia become in such a short time, throw in a protected dog and you got me.
Ksenia was on vacation with her girl friends and is Kidnapped...On the run from her Fathers Enemies she isn't a weak heroine, she is very strong and is a fighter. I love that about her. Throw in a yummy Former Marine turned small town deputy and you have a hero you will want for you very own.

As I stated before this is a very quick read, which has everything you could want... it has the perfect mix of suspense, action and romance and steamy sex. Only downfall is that for me is the ending is a cliff-hanger, I seriously hope there will be a second book because I love Matt and Ksenia and want to know what happens with them next.

I rate this book 4 out of 5 Genie Lamps

ARC Review Rough Around the Edges By Ranae Rose

Rough Around the Edges By: Ranae Rose


Description

Sometimes love is enough. Other times, you have to fight for it.

For Ryan Moore, the choice to fight is like the choice to breathe – necessary. After being wounded in war and discharged from the United States Marine Corps, competitive MMA fighting is the only thing he’s still able to excel at. Every round is a risk he can’t afford to take, but time spent outside of the cage is purgatory, until he meets female fighter Ally Rivera. For the first time since an IED blast destroyed life as he knew it, he wants something – someone. And she wants him, but the lingering effects of war might just tear them apart, if the gang violence that plagues her family doesn’t kill them first.

Rough Around the Edges is Ryan’s side of the love story told in Battered Not Broken. It’s not a sequel, but a separate novel written for those who want to experience the story through Ryan’s eyes. Read Battered Not Broken first or simply dive right in and enjoy an erotic romance novel told completely from a male point of view.

My Review 

Ok, So i loved Battered Not Broken, and I have to stay reading Rough Around the Edges and hearing Ryan's side of the story made me love both Ryan and Ally even more.  Ranae Rose fills in all the little questions that you would have from Battered Not Broken. Believe me she doesn't leave you with any questions in this book. 

She allows us to see Ryan in a way that is real and allows us to see what he deals with in regards to his TBI  from his nightmares, to his inner dialog and questioning his value as a person, and even describing what happens when he gets a headache and the after affects.  I have to say that reading Ryan's thought sounded very familiar to me especially his thoughts of messing up things,being a failure and not having anything of "worth" to show from his civilian life  in regards to his military friends as I have heard them from my husband a time or two. 

I also love reading Ryan's POV when it comes to the sex scenes which are just scorching hot, but reading Ryan's thoughts about how much he loves and wants Ally even imagining her in an apron cooking naked in her mom's kitchen.(what a naughty man). 

She shows what happens when Ryan saves Mel. She shows what Ryan was doing and how he was feeling when he fell from the roof and fractured his arm, His thoughts on Ally being shot and what happened when he went off with Manny for revenge.  I have to say Ryan going of with Manny was very enlightening and answered a lot questions.

I love that Ryan and Ally's visit to Quantico was included because it showed the Marine side of Ryan's life and allowed Ally to meet Feltz  She also includes many other interactions that Ryan has with his parents especially his father. 

Overall I have to say that Rough Around the Edges is a wonderful book that i love and it is the perfect companion book for Battered Not Broken (Ally's POV). If you haven't read Battered Not Broken you must as it shows how truly caring Ally is as a person and why she is perfect for Ryan.

* I received and ARC of this book from the Author in exchange for my honest review.

I Rate this a 5 out of 5
