"Colt isn't going to know what hit him," Luke Brennan teased when Colt first met Carly. That was the understatement of the year.
Sometimes a kiss is just a kiss…
Colt Brennan is a sweet, shy cowboy who has spent his life working the family ranch in Montana. He's never given a thought to doing anything different, until the vivacious Carly Stevens comes along and steals his heart. Everyone warned him that Carly gets bored with her men easily, but Colt doesn't believe it's true. Once their relationship goes beyond a few stolen kisses, he's sure that Carly and he are meant to be together. On Carly's invitation, Colt leaves everything behind to move to Seattle and live with her. But sometimes a kiss is just a kiss, and although he wants much more with Carly, he finds her slowly pulling away, leaving him confused.
And then there's Beth. Colt feels an instant connection with Carly's roommate, Beth Owens, and is intrigued by her quiet kindness and inner strength. Beth is the one to bring a smile to his face and warm his heart when all his life plans goes awry. As time goes by, Colt finds himself caught between the woman he thinks he loves, and the woman he feels a deep connection to. Who will be the woman who steals Colt away with just one kiss?

I loved the first book in this series, Kiss a Cowboy and was super excited to get my hands on A Kiss for Colt! Deanna writes such wonderful stories that are full of great characters who are just so easy to love. A Kiss for Colt took me back to the ranch where I was able to reconnect with these wonderful people again.
Carly travels back to the ranch to spend the holidays with the Brennan family and to attend her sister's wedding to the cowboy she fell in love with.
'You were the one who said, "Kiss a cowboy for me," last summer when I was staying here at the ranch after my car broke down. Well, I took your advice, and I haven't stopped kissing my cowboy ever since.'
Colt and Carly continue the flirtation that they started during Carly's previous visit. Things do heat up between them and Carly ends up inviting Colt to come to Seattle. Colt has to decide if Carly is the woman for him and if he can give up the only home he has ever known, the family ranch. We go through the struggle right along with Colt as he adjusts to his new life. What, and who, will really make him happy?
Deanna is one of my must read authors now and I have loved everything she has written. Her stories are just so easy to get lost in and like I said, the characters become friends. Her books go to the top of my TBR list when they come out! I know the stories are going to be so good!
The third book in this series is Kissing Carly. We get to find out if Carly finds herself a cowboy to kiss. Like I said, I love these characters and I can't wait to see how her life turns out. Kissing Carly will be out in the spring! Whoo hoo!
My favorite book of the year so far! I can never read enough from this absolutely amazing author. Deanna never disappoints, always keeps you guessing and knows how to pull at your heart strings! I fell in love with Colt in the first book of this series and am so happy he got his happy ending, well I hope it's not the last we see of him but at least he ended up happy. Sweet Colt fell head over heals in love with Carly but Carly was to much of a party animal to be what Colt really needed and wanted. Colt follows Carly back to her home in the big city and tries so hard to make things work. He immediately gets a job and makes a big promise to his managers. He pulls his weight and helps out more than what any normal young guy would. This is an amazing story and I don't want to say to much and ruin what happens. Thank you Deanna for yet again another story that I couldn't put down and for making me love Luke even more :) He is a special cowboy for sure!
I love the Brennan family they just keep me coming back for more!
I loved this story and how most of it was centered in Seattle only an hour from where I live. I enjoyed the way Deanna showed how a good friendship can turn into such an unbelievably strong love.
I enjoyed the second book in the cowboy series. I got to see what was happening with the characters in the first book. Then the way the new characters were brought into this book. Enjoyed the love story .I am getting ready to order the 3rd book in this series, and then read some of the books written by Deanna.
It just goes to show very relationship will lead u to the next one ur finally meant to be. Colt followed his heart with carly. It did not work out but if he had not be would not met beth.
Colt heads to the city, to stay with Carly.. It's hard for him to leave the ranch and his family, but he has to see where his relationship with Carly will go... When he spends more time with her, he realises that she is not the person he thought she was.. Spending more of his time with her roommate Beth, they click instantly and find they have more in common with each other.. This story was sweet, heart breaking and beautiful..
Carly is a despicable character and Colt is a dumbass. Book improved once the plot moved back to the ranch which is really where the best content takes place.
