Honky Tonk Hearts #6
Nothing But Trouble
This is the sixth story in the multi-author series, Honky Tonk Hearts.
Chase Paladin avoids commitment like a patch of stinging nettles. He's seen how love can trample a man, and he doesn't plan to get hitched—ever. But when Honor Jackson walks into his life, hell-bent on keeping her distance, she turns his convictions inside out.
One look at the too-handsome cowboy with laughing green eyes and a killer smile, and Honor knows he's nothing but trouble. She's come to Redemption, Texas to help an old friend, not to let another man charm her into certain heartache. But every time she turns around, Chase is there, and the closer they get, the more she fears he'll break her heart. So when anonymous threats make it clear that someone in Redemption wants her gone, Honor is ready to oblige. Only now Chase isn’t certain he can live without her.
Will two wary hearts take a chance on love before it's too late?

Nothing But Trouble was one yummy read of the sweet romance kind! The only reason this wonderful, moving, sensual and so well written romance is getting 4.5 stars is the bedroom scene halfway through. As much as I loved everything else in the book, this was dud for me. It went from stroking to act to done in few lines without the much needed details of what pieces of puzzle fit together - and how great that is! This was surprising enough that I had to backpedal a page to see if I missed one. That said, it didn't take a lot away from the story, which I truly did find worth reading and recommending!
Chase was the epitome of the swings and flings but no rings kinda guy. Drop dead gorgeous cowboy who promises to break your heart with a sexy smile on his lips. Not someone you'd wanna end up with because one roll in the hay can easily turn to love with a guy like Chase - which is why Honor swear to stay clear. Having had her heart broken and her trust stolen Honor is keeping a way from Chase, too bad that Chase is determined to see her, making her resolve crack one smile at a time. Reading Honor convinced me to stay away from Chase, but reading Chase made me wanna give him a chance - well written Ms. Gallant!
Oh the romance! I loved it! I loved Honor's tough outer shell, Chase's determined seduction and the will they-won't they, they had going on. I loved the slow getting to know each other spiced with many wonderfully sexy little moments of stolen looks and appreciations of ones assets when they think no ones watching. ;) How can you resist a romance where the hero is not so subtle and determined like hell to get the heroine to bed...? Yeah you can't because that, ladies, is Hot!

Chase Paladin is a typical cowboy. Not that it’s a bad thing. He’s handsome, flirty, and runs from commitment. So how does he get tangled up with a girl who’s taking a ‘break from men’? Honor Jackson has been through a tough time. Between her grandfather’s death and mounting bills, she needs a new start. Redemption, Texas, seems to be just the place. Despite her protests, she finds herself more than involved with the smooth talking cowboy.
But Honor doesn’t immediately fall into his lap which is intriguing to Chase. But when someone starts leaving not-so veiled threats on her doorstep, it’s Chase to the rescue (and let’s face it—most of us love cowboys who rescue). Chase is sweet, respectful, and doesn’t give himself near enough credit, while Honor is dealing with her own short-comings and ghosts from the past.
Nothing But Trouble is a fun story. It’s a great escape read for a rainy (or otherwise) afternoon. Just what a short romance should be.

Chase Paladin slammed on the brakes and prayed.
With that opening line, multi-published author Jannine Gallant does it again. She delivers a highly sensuous, extremely satisfying romance. Love ‘em and leave ‘em rancher Chase is the most charming reluctant husband material character ever crafted. One who doesn’t stand a chance when strong willed and feisty Honor Jackson takes him for the ride of his life. And all the while putting him in his place, right by her side.
Nothing But Trouble is nothing but fabulous. Watching Chase struggle to rein in his raging libido is especially entertaining. Two people to care about and a story to love.

This is a fun read. Chase and Honey are the perfect romantic couple. Ms. Gallant knows how to tell a story - I could just hear the Texas drawl and see the western town with its characters. This is the first book in the series and I'm now sure to read the others.

Nothing but Trouble is one of those stories perfect for a lazy summer afternoon - a short, easy read with charming characters and a sigh-worthy happily ever after.

Nice story and well-written about a woman down on her luck who takes a job as a waitress in a small Texas town. Don't go thinking cliche' here. It's well paced and flows easily.

3 1/2 stars!
This is a sweet story that can be read in one sitting. The tension is mild and easily resolved and there is an HEA at the end. What more could you want to take you away from real life worries and concerns. Enjoy!
