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.
This was my first time into a Stacey Kennedy book and it turned out to be a pretty good read. While ‘fun, sexy and easy’ may be some of the words that I would use to describe this novel, the quest for love after Emma got her heart broken was also moving and intense.
After losing her job and being betrayed by her ex-boyfriend (and former boss), Emma goes to River Rock, Colorado, to take care of her Grandma's farm. That's when she has her first experience at Kinky Spurs, that's not only the name of the series this book is part of, but also it's the name of the bar where Emma Monroe finds herself working part time.
And it's precisely in that place where she met Shep Blackshaw, our Dirty-talking Cowboy, and tell me if it isn’t the perfect title for this story! Shep is a sexy cowboy who knows exactly what he wants and he’s not afraid to go and get it. And what he wants is Emma in his bed.
The connection they have is hot and heavy, and you can feel it from the first page. When I started to read this book I couldn't help but sweat because of Sheep and Emma’s chemistry. It was off the charts hot! And while the tension is building, and you think the story is taking some direction, the author surprises you with a wicked and funny turn of events.
I loved this book so much, and not only because it's a pulse racing experience but because is also lighthearted and sweet. The author delivers a story from the heart, with the right amount of heat and passion, and showing us, with a highly care for details I must add, the portrait of a world you would want to get lost into. Kinky Spurs is described with such a detail that you will want to go there and take a drink while ogling the Blackshaw guys. The country life, the animals, the family dynamics…, and every piece of this book are special in their own way.
If you're into sexy cowboys, being tied up and good fun in a barn, this is for you. But if you're also happen to be into romantic, sweet and fun books, then go and click the shit out of this novel.
