Kiss My Boots (Coming Home, #2)

Kiss My Boots by Harper Sloan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Reviewed by: Michelle
ARC provided by publisher in exchange for an honest review

Kiss My Boots is a sexy, emotional, sophisticated second chance romance that ignites all the feels. Harper Sloan has once again slayed the romance literary world with her heartfelt swoonworthy romance as she makes readers fall in love with her prose and vulnerable down to earth characters.

He left, and with him he took all the promises he’d ever whispered. He stole that piece inside me he had filled, and I hadn’t found a way to fix it since.”

Who doesn’t love a good second chance romance? I know, I do. Hell, it’s one of my favorite tropes. The idea of two lovers reuniting and getting that second chance to make things right is why I love reading romance novels and let me just say, Harper Sloan knows how to write an emotional and sexy second chance love story.

#KissMyBoots

Quinn Davis is not your quintessential stereotypical girl next door. For one, she is a mechanic which I so applaud Harper Sloan for showcasing a heroine in a male dominated profession. She is sassy, strong willed and independent as hell and so she prefers to live a quiet life. The reason for that is she once gave her heart to a man who ended up leaving and in return gave her a broken heart.

I pray that he can see the desperation my love for him makes me feel. The need to get as close as two people physically can is almost unbearable. What I feel— this fire burning deep in my belly— only becomes more powerful the longer I deny what I crave.”

Tate Montgomery is that man who walked away from Quinn Davis nine years ago and now he is back to win the heart of Quinn. Ladies, let me just say this cowboy will have your panties melting as he shows Quinn that she is the only one in his heart.

#KissMyBoots2

Quinn and Tate’s journey of reconnecting and rebuilding their relationship was truly unforgettable. This couple had my heart as everything about them felt raw, vulnerable and natural. Trust me when I tell you, it is not hard to fall and root for this couple. Yes, Tate may have walked away from Quinn nine years ago but there was a valid reason and I loved that Harper Sloan allowed readers to see both sides of the story and allowed readers to see two hearts colliding as one finally was able to let go of the walls surrounding her heart.

He left a handsome boy and came back a devilishly hot man. His body, having always been in shape, is aged to perfection. His abs are a little more defined, his pecs even larger, and his arms that would— I’m sure— feel like steel bands when they were wrapped around you.”

Kiss My Boots is the perfect summer read as this book had everything you could of asked for. It had amazing and lovable characters, heartfelt dialogue, and a romance that was palpable from the start. The writing was beautiful as Harper Sloan allowed readers to feel for her characters as two hearts surrendered to their love for each other. So if you are looking for a sweet and heartfelt second chance romance that was brimming with so much love, passion, and emotions then I highly recommend you to read Kiss My Boots.

Sexy, scintillating,passionate, and dangerously erotic. Laura Kaye is back at it again as she welcomes back readers to the BDSM world where sex and love collides in an unlikely fashion.

#AllEyesOnMe

In Eyes On You we are introduced to Master Wolf, one of the twelve Masters that owns Blasphemy, a BDSM exclusive club. Master Wolf has a taste for voyeurism. It is his sexual kink. He loves to watch and gets off on it. And so when he randomly meets Olivia Foster, it was like fate intervened for them to meet. She was the woman that filled in the missing part of him since she was a natural submissive who loves to be seen. Olivia loves the idea of having someone watch her and the risk of being caught, excites her. So naturally, Wolf pushes Olivia to a whole new sexual high as they both enjoy public sex and the risk of being caught. As Olivia embraces her sexual kink of exhibition, will Master Wolf be able to claim Olivia as his only?

Laura Kaye has definitely got me addicted with the Blasphemy Series. There is just something so hypnotic about the way Kaye writes that makes readers like myself so invested with her characters and for this particular series, I loved Master Wolf. He may not have the kind of typical BDSM kink that we often associated with many Dominants but I think that is what makes him so alluring. He exudes confidence and sexuality with just his presence and how he can make Olivia feel so alive. So if you are looking for a quick hot steamy erotically charged novella then this book is for you.

#BeautifulMistake1

Beautiful Mistake is an utterly spellbinding symphony of sweet, sexy, sophisticated and swoonworthy romance. This book had my attention right off the opening pages which is no surprise since Vi has always held me hostage with her smart, sassy, and sexy writing and charasmatic characters. Right away, Vi introduces her readers to a feisty, sassy, and spirited heroine who has no qualms of making her presence known. When Rachel Martin accidentally goes off on a guy mistaking him for the guy who broke her friend’s heart, she didn’t think she would ever see him again. Well as fate as it would have it, the stranger turns out to be Professor Caine West.

Maybe I couldn’t get you out of my head because you’re supposed to be there. ”

Caine West is drawn to Rachel. There is just something so hypnotic and magnetic about her that he can’t stay away from her. He is well aware that he is all wrong for her since he has a torrid past of infidelity. But whenever he is with Rachel, Caine crosses that forbidden line each time he interacts with her. When Caine learns of another man pursuing Rachel, he finally makes it known to her that she consumes his thoughts and he wants her badly.

Ahhhh… yes that’s the only emotion I can come up to describe the moment when Caine and Rachel finally crossed that invisible line. Everything about this couple screamed SCORCHING HOT!!! Yes, it was magnetic, palpable, tangible, intoxicating, curl your toes romance!! Seriously, if you ever read a Vi Keeland sex scene then you are all aware this author can make you blush and swoon hard.

It was the most decadent, erotic, beautiful feeling in the world as Caine eased inside. So many emotions overwhelmed me. My eyes welled up as the music hit its crescendo and Caine buried himself deep— filling me in so many ways. I’d been on the edge of glory for so long, it didn’t take long for the throb inside of me to start. His thrusts were hard, driving in and out with powerful movements that brushed my clit on each downward glide. My world began to splinter as I headed toward climax, everything and anything falling away as my sole focus became the two of us— this moment. ”

Beautiful Mistake was oh so sexy and addicting. Once I started reading I couldn’t stop. Caine and Rachel were electrifying. The first time they met when Rachel confused Caine for her best friends lying ex-boyfriend, was hilarious. She told off Caine and treated him like the lowest scum on earth, but he took it all with a stride and a smile on his lips. Even when Rachel was walking away after her realization that she told off the wrong guy, Caine still watched her with a smile on his lips and curiosity. Their first meeting was just the beginning, the first day of school as a teacher’s assistant was the best. Rachel walked in class to her jack*ss Professor, who grilled her for being late. Then finding out that Caine the guy she told off the night before was her new boss. Can you imagine how humiliated you would be if you were her and apologizing the next day for the mistake, but feeling sheepish like the apology is just because you are the Professor’s new assistant? It was priceless.

I love this book and it was such a nice change after reading a few books before, that was not as expected. When it comes to Author Vi Keeland’s books, I am always entertained. With her always so charming and feisty characters, I can’t help but laugh and enjoy the read. Rachel was as feisty as any woman can be and Caine was just her match. When they were around each other, the ugly in Rachel came out. She couldn’t help but say the meanest and worst thing that she could think of. But once they spent time working on their class work and gotten to know each other, everything changed. They tried to keep their attraction from each other, they both tried hard. At times they say the most inappropriate things, while saying it can’t happen. They did the dance, the will they, won’t they. But once it happened, it was nothing but sexy. Caine knew how to take care of a woman and Rachel enjoyed every moment of their time together. Caine may not be interested in a relationship, but he was different with Rachel and that gave her hope for the future.

Rachel and Caine’s story was sweet and sexy. Sometime in the story, things got real and everything became serious. I felt for them both and I loved them together even more. This was truly an enjoyable story and I love the epilogue, even if it was a little short.

It is why time after time the reason why I LOVE reading Pam Godwin’s books. Her words, the raw emotions, and complex characters are beautifully weaved into the story line creating a love story that demands your attention as this book took angst onto a whole new level.

I’m not gonna lie, I really hate love triangles but if I am gonna get sucked into a love triangle, THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE TRILOGY THAT YOU MUST READ!!! Yes, shouty bold caps are needed for that statement because I stand 100% behind this series. Pam has this literary gift to suck you into a vortex where you feel for each character and yet you don’t know how to feel at the end of who the heroine should end up with because Pam has this way of surprising us at the end. Do I have a favorite? Of course, I do but I won’t reveal it till the third book and see how Pam will unfold this complicated love triangle.

As far as the writing and story of this book, one word can pretty much sum it up. PHENOMENAL. The writing was brilliant and every minuscule detail was perfectly orchestrated as it heightened emotions and left your heart racing as to what will happen next. Seriously, my anxiety was off the charts as I was reading but THIS BOOK and Pam’s writing had me obsessed. Literally, I was stressed out after reading this book and blamed Pam for making me that reader who stalked her page in order to see if she posted any excerpts or teasers on the third book since I have to know what happens and who Danni ends up with up..her past or present!!!

Wicked Grind by J. Kenner is a sexy, sinfully enticing erotic slow burn second chance romance!!! With Kenner’s intoxicating prose, she stages and develops a romance that will have you begging and craving for more as two former lovers reunite and discover the second time around was worth the wait.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well that couldn’t be more true for Wyatt Royce, a high in demand photographer who has an upcoming exhibit that will showcase his highly anticipated photography. Wyatt knows what he wants his exhibit to entail. He wants the feel of eroticism, sensuality, boldness, vulnerability and beauty. While majority of his photos are ready to go, the final masterpiece is not ready as he is having trouble finding the right model. After countless searches, he couldn’t find the one that evoked every element he wanted that is until she walked into his studio demanding a shot to be his model.

Kelsey Draper is the girl next door. The girl who has big hopes of becoming a dancer but had to settle being a teacher. She was the girl who followed all the rules her father set except one. She was suppose to stay away from Wyatt but being a young teenager, she couldn’t stay away. She felt a connection to him. She loved him. But her love for him, was not enough for the burden she had to bear. So fast forward to several years later, Kelsey finds herself walking into the lion’s den when she is reunited with her first love, Wyatt.

#WickedGrind

Kelsey is in desperate need of the money and she knows that this modeling gig to be the muse for Wyatt is her only shot in making enough money to help with her brother’s medical needs. She is well aware that Wyatt is angry at her when she had to leave suddenly that summer since she never properly explained why. Naturally, Wyatt doesn’t want Kelsey to be the model even though she is what he is looking for. As Kelsey persuades Wyatt to give her a shot, slowly we see Wyatt letting go his guarded heart. Very slowly, we see Wyatt and Kelsey being drawn together as their chemistry and connection were like a moth to a flame. But as Kelsey slowly gives herself to Wyatt and makes herself vulnerable to him, will Wyatt’s resentment of the past push Kelsey away? And will Kelsey’s insecurities and fears force her to walk away from Wyatt a second time?

Wicked Grind is definitely one of those romances that catapults you as reader to feel the passion, intensity, lust, desire, heartbreak and love that Wyatt and Kelsey have for each other. It didn’t matter how long they were separated, their timing to be together was never right and so Kenner allowed the readers to see and understand that they both needed to grow individually and discover their strengths and weakness. So if you are looking for a love story that was beautifully well developed that captured all the feels, then I would recommend you to read this book. And just remember love is like a picture, we develop from the negatives and focus what it is important. And in this particular case, the only thing Wyatt is capturing and focusing on is the woman that danced and etched her way into his heart.
