4 Smooches
Synopsis
Cooper Krenshaw knows what it’s like to feel the bright lights upon him, the sound of the crowd roaring when he walks on stage; after all, he happens to be one of the biggest names in country music at the moment. And he has knowingly just dropped off the grid. The first decision he has made on his own in quite some time. Cooper only thought he was looking for a challenge when he walked off of that concert stage in Chicago. After finding himself in Devil’s Bend, Texas, he soon realizes that the dream he’s been chasing might not be the one he was after all along.
Now he’s found himself not only starting over in a new town, but he’s pretty sure he’s met the toughest challenge of his life… she just happens to be an angel in blue jeans.
Tessa Donovan hasn’t been the best of friends with Fate for quite some time now. Owning and operating The Rusty Nail, a small bar in her hometown of Devil’s Bend, has been enough to keep her going through the motions of her life. But it’s the only thing she’s got. After losing her husband fifteen short months after they were married, Tessa has spent the last four years chasing dreams in order to maintain her sanity. Only those dreams are soon ripped right out of her grasp by a sexy country music star who claims he descended on her small town by accident.
Coincidence? Or has Fate stepped in once again? Whatever the case, Tessa knows the handsome cowboy might get to overtake her dreams, but she’s bound and determined that he won’t take her heart.
Review
“That was the point in her life when she’d realized she would never find a man who could replace Richie. Never.”
Chasing Dreams is book 1 in the Devil’s Bend series by Nicole Edwards and I was extremely excited to get the chance to read this seeing as how I have loved her other series. I was not let down. While it is clear that this series is going to be very different than the Alluring Indulgence and Club Destiny series focusing more on monogamous relationships it was still fabulous. Maybe there is something down there in the water in Texas but Nicole knows how to write a sexy cowboy like nobody else!
“If I kiss you, Tessa, I won’t be able to stop,”
Tessa Donovan’s heart was broken when her husband died in the line of duty. Content to run her bar and know that her one true love is gone and she is never getting that back she goes on with life for years living a quiet existence. All of that is thrown out the door when she locked eyes with super sexy cowboy and famous county music singer Cooper Krenshaw. Deciding he is tired of the hustle of Nashville, Cooper decides to move to Devil’s Bend and soon after he decided that Tessa is his and she just needs to learn this. Can Tessa learn that you can have more than one “true love” and give into all she is feeling?
“I’m not looking for one night, Tessa.” “I’m not looking for forever, cowboy,”
This book had so many wonderful things in it, drama, good sex and a panty dropping sexy cowboy. I loved it! I will warn you if you are going into this looking for some ménage action or a little m/m this story does not have that. What it does have is a sexy Alpha Cowboy who gives good dirty talk and even better at the real thing. I loved how even thought Tessa has been through the worst kind of tragedy she didn’t let it break her and even learned that life is short and set about chasing all her dreams. Chasing Dreams was a uplifting story that was an easy read and clearly the start of a great series
