Finally read a western and I enjoyed the ride. I had forgotten how much I enjoy contemporary romance.
This one is part of the Honky Tonk series, but they can be read as stand alone novels. So fear not people with OCD reading out of order issues. I did fine it was a new couple, a new start, but the same bar. But this is book 2, and there is a new owner of the Honky Tonk bar.

Cathy O’Dell runs the Honky Tonk bar on the outskirts of town. She’s been beaten down by a man before, so her disposition towards the opposite is anything but friendly. That was until Travis Henry storms into town with his crew digging for oil in the lot next to her bar. She breaks every personal wall she’s set up around herself to let Travis in. The bad news is that his job is only temporary...once he’s done he’ll be moving on to the next job in Alaska. Cathy has to decide which one she wants t

Not much changes with this book either. Cathy O’Dell is now owner of the Honky Tonk after her cousin Daisy marries Jarod from the previous book.
It’s New Year’s Eve and the countdown is on as the book opens. Travis is in town to work on the local oil rigging crew for the next couple of months. He’s just come into the bar and has spotted a very long-legged and sexy woman, whom he can’t help but lock lips with, especially since he has the excuse of approaching midnight. So he does just th More...

HELL YEAH by Carolyn Brown is a contemporary romance set in today's time in Mingus, Texas. It is the second in the Honky Tonk series but can be read as a stand alone. It is well written with details and depth, although, it starts out a little slow it picks up quickly. The plot and characters are easy to follow and just as easy to fall in love with. It has romance, country music, line dancing, passion, sweet sensuality, danger, friends, finding your true love, adventure, ending your past and star

If you have read any of the author's previous country romance books, you probably knew you had to run and snag this book from the bookstore. When this book arrived in my mailbox, my reaction was Hell, Yeah! The author has a special talent for writing some hot country boy books.
In the latest installment, we get to meet Travis and Cathy. Travis is the down and dirty cowboy that you instantly picture in your head. I loved how the author brought him to life on the pages and made him f More...

Hell, Yeah. Carolyn Brown. 2010. Sourcebooks. 384 pages. ISBN 9781402239274.
Although Hell, Yeah is the second book in Carolyn Brown's "Honky Tonk" series, this fun, sassy, fast-paced romance novel stands strongly on its own without needing to read its predecessor, I Love This Bar.

I have enjoyed all of Carolyn Brown’s previous books, but this is my favorite. I loved both Travis and Cathy and couldn’t wait for them to realize they were meant for each other. Cathy isn’t looking for a man until Travis kisses her on New Year’s Eve. She couldn’t get the good looking cowboy off her mind, and Travis can’t forget that the prickly bar owner kisses like nothing he’s ever felt before. These two circle around each other until they finally give in to the temptation.

‘Hell, Yeah’ starts out very similar to the first book in the Honky Tonk series and you think you’re in for a boring case of déjà vu – but stick with it. Having now read all four books in the series I can tell you that the similar beginnings are part of the ‘charm’ of the Honky Tonk. Each is similar at the beginning and end (in the happily-ever-after) but the middle is a different ride for each book.

I adored the first book in this series and this one was another winner. I was so happy to be carried back into this world that I didn't want to put it down. It was fun to reunite with the characters and see what they were up to. But...I was even happier to follow Cathy's story! (She was introduced toward the end of book 1) I also enjoyed meeting the new characters and getting to "know" them.
Cathy's story was great and just what I expected from Ms. Brown's writing. She can r More...

Cathy has taken over the Honky Tonk from her cousin Daisy and is enjoying being a new bar owner. In walks Travis one New Year's Eve, who knocks her socks off with a kiss at the stroke of midnight.
Both were deeply affected by the kiss, but Cathy tended to fight it more than Travis. She tended to be more rude and harsh toward Travis as a way to fight her growing feelings for him. Hell, Yeah felt like a re-hash of I Love This Bar. It was pretty much the same premise with just a changing of th More...

it was an ok book.
I know that things move slower in the south but this book moved at a turtle pace. nothing happened in the first 200 pages & i was about to put it down, then it got interesting.
<spoiler> although, i would have expected the kidnapping ordeal to last longer or at least have some impact on the book.
& i really didn't like how cathy ended up leaving her home & selling the Honky Tonk at the end of the book. Travis should've sacrificed something! </spoiler More...

Books that constantly quote the words or names of classic country music and epitomizes redneck women aren't usually the kind of books I'd pick up. But I was in a rush and the cover most definitely made me pull it off the shelf. What can I say I do love cowboys. And I'm very glad I gave this book a try. I loved the heroine and the hero made me melt. So try it you just might like it. Hell yeah!

I loved the Texas humor and the references to many country songs. It makes me think back to growing up in Texas and the old country songs. I haven't paid much attention to the oldies/goodies in a while, so it makes me remember my childhood. The story is just wonderful. I love the complications they create and then overcome to be together. Great read. Lots of laughs.

I downloaded a sample from Amazon and it would seem that the average rating for this book dropped before I got around to reading it yesterday. Basically in the first 20 or so pages (including the fluff in the beginning and title page)we have people asking for and/or drinking Coors at least three times.
Too much Gretchen Peters, y'all, Arkansas and redneck for me.

Travis Henry walks into Cathy O'Dell's bar on New Year's Eve and walks right up and plants one on her. She's taken aback but secretly thrilled cause he's definitely a hottie and she's lonely in this little one horse town. That is until she finds out he'll be hanging around drilling for oil practically in her backyard.

I only read to page 69.
There were too many characters introduced too quickly, it was confusing. This made it hard to care about the main characters and I finally just gave up.

I liked this one better than the first. You seriously do not want to mess with this redneck woman...she is a great heroine and Travis is the best hero so far!

Break out your cowboy boots and get ready to two step! This series has always made me want to head down to my local honky tonk and do a quick line dance. I enjoy the premise of these stories but sometimes the execution is lacking. It seems like some ideas are just not fully thought out and written so the story can almost seem simplistic. Besides that I did enjoy this story. It was a light read, had lots of great characters, and lots of potential for additional story lines. I'll pick up the next
