Dirty Dicks #1

Crazy Sexy Love

Rate this book
Three-time world champion bull rider Rhett Allen has never been afraid to get his hands dirty. Hard work, sweat, and determination have gotten him where he is today—and that’s holed up in a hospital room, wondering how he let that damn bull buck him off. He’s also wondering why he thought it was a good idea to let his twin brother talk him into returning home to heal.

Rhett has a million reasons to come home to Heaven, Texas, and only one reason to stay away. That reason comes in the form of a sweet and feisty girl who stole his heart long before he ever thought to give it away. The only problem…that girl has turned into a stunning woman.

Monroe Gallagher is downright sexy with more curves than County Line Road. It’s been six years since he’s seen her, six years since he’s felt any form of peace, and six years since she gripped his heart in her delicate little hands and squeezed the life out of it. The longer he’s in Heaven, the more he starts to realize that the heart she took from him—the one she crushed into a million pieces—she also never gave back.

One conversation could have fixed this. I hate lack of communication and assumptions. Too many stories lately have the same theme. Doormat h to boot. Why is she taking all the blame? Why was he blaming the managers daughter for his lack of communication? He even admitted to being “too busy” and being selfish.
He could have picked up the phone numerous times also. Both are idiots. He turned into a hoe and she turned into a hermit. One fucking call from either and the misunderstanding would be cleared up. Plus the whole watching him fuck the OW was creepy and the reason was idiotic. I totally feel no sympathy for that bullshit.

A second chance with a cowboy… oh baby…

Not one but two of my favourite things in this new series – cowboys and a second chance! Mo and Rhett had history that left them any but friends or lovers. Life is anything but easy and best laid plans rarely go as, well, planned. Rhett followed his dream but Mo ran into obstacles she couldn’t get around. When Rhett is injured and comes home to recuperate, their reunion is full of anger and bitterness but still love…

“This is it. We’re finally done.”

This book title summed up the relationship between Mo and Rhett perfectly. Love is a mix of so many emotions and crazy, sexy are definitely at the top of the list. When your heart is involved everything is brighter, darker and more fragile and Mo and Rhett navigated it all. Rhett is why I love cowboys – a man with strong hands and a loyal heart. Mo is his counterpart with heart and strength to match. Misunderstandings, secrets – they were all going to come out in a last ditch chance effort that I wanted these lovers to win….

“A tiny sliver of my heart had hoped he’d grant me forgiveness….”

These two had to work at it every hard-won step forward even as the steps back kept mounting. The back and forth was just right though as anger and love eventually balanced out… A great first book in the series – can’t wait for the next one! ~Diane, 4 stars

This book is intended to be light reading. Light meaning a quick read on the beach, quick reading while waiting in line or waiting for your doctor to come.

With that in mind, this book is OK to my taste. There is not drama/plot/ angst. There is also no deep/ serious character development. The supporting characters also not contributing anything. The steamy scenes is also moderate/ luke warm. Not erotic.

Again, this book is intended to be light reading.

This second chance romance follows Rhett, who is a bull rider, and Mo, who never left the small town of Heaven due to unplanned extraneous circumstances. A lie and a misunderstanding broke this couple up, though they never got over each other. When the truth comes out, can the past remain in the past?

I never truly got into the book. I liked Rhett’s character for the majority of the book, though I found him to be petty and cold in the way that he handled Mo’s apology and explanation of what truly transpired six years ago. I didn’t connect with Mo, who had stayed home to take care of her father (who had a stroke) and his animal shelter. She was a martyr type of a character, and I just couldn’t feel for her as she refused to accept help that would better her situation.

The supporting characters were my favorite part of the book. These individuals, the intimate scenes, and the glimpses inside of Rhett’s head, where the reader saw what he was thinking (really making me feel like I was there) bump this from a 2 star to a 3 star. The writing and flow were good, but IMHO the story felt formulaic. If you enjoy both second chance romances and cowboy/small town books, this is likely up your alley.

4.5 stars! I don’t read a ton of cowboy type books but I will read anything KL Grayson writes. This sexy bull rider hero made me swoon and oh my heart!

Rhett Allen is a champion bull rider and seems to have it all until he gets hurt and has to return home to Heaven to recuperate and finally face his past.

Monroe “Mo” Gallagher was the love of his life. Never leaving her hometown because of extenuating circumstances and never truly getting over her ex, coming face to face with him now... the truth is finally about to come out.

And WOW what a truth... what hurt and lost time for these two who have loved each other since they were young. When you read it, your heart will literally drop... and you will get angry I promise.

But there’s hope for these two as the love, the chemistry, that hot, panty dropping heat is still there and I was literally flying through the pages because I just couldn’t get enough.

Will they be each other’s “more”? Will love be enough? You will have to read this book and find out for yourself!

I am IN LOVE with the start of this series and I can’t wait for MORE!!!

Readers who love sexy reads with a hero who makes your jaw drop with every smile and every word out of his mouth... who love strong independent women who love fiercely will adore this book by KL Grayson! ❤️

This was a nice sweet romance. Mo and Rhett had a falling out over some issues that neither seems too keen to talk about with others but when he comes back to town after an injury they are forced to work through those issues. I liked Mo but I just kind of felt sorry for her. I hate that authors write heroines like Mo. I mean she was tough and also very giving and it was good that she came home to help her dad but its ok to ask for help when you need it. There is no need to act like a martyr when you have people willing to help you. I think if she talked to her dad sooner she could have followed her dreams and still came back to Heaven to take over his practice. I liked Rhett well enough too but I felt he overacted about the issued with Mo. I just didn't like that whole conflict in this story. Overall I did like them together and I did like the conflict and resolution to the other issue in the story. They really were made for each other. I was a really big fan of second chance romances but this one seemed to hit all of the things that I don't like about them. I mean you can pine for an old love and still move on but Mo just became a workaholic while Rhett lived his life to the fullest. I just kind of hate that double standard with these types of books and it knocked some points of for me personally in liking this one. Overall it was a good book and I think many readers would enjoy it.

Great second chance romance. Rhett and Monroe are torn apart by lies and bad decisions. 6 years later injuries push them back into each other's lives. Sparks fly, truths are uncovered but can past hurt be forgiven. Easy, fun read.

”See? Not much has changed. I’ve spent the last six years passing time.”

“Passing time, huh? What were you waiting on?”

“Didn’t realize it at the time, but I was waiting on you.”



Crazy, Sexy Love is a cute sexy tale of second chances, new dreams, and a love that never fades. I’m a sucker for these kind of tales, and this story was no different, pulled me right in and got me to cheer for Rhett & Mo’s happily ever after. The thing with it was that after the climax, no pun intended, it was hard for me to focus on the rest of it. It was cute, but I was looking for a tad bit more. This was a case of me vs. book. Give it a go for some sweetness and southern heat.

I will be the first to admit, I was skeptical! Cowboys? Rodeo? Pass...but when KL Grayson sent me a copy to read, I found myself absolutely consuming Crazy Sexy Love. Rhett was NOT your ordinary hero. He was kind, and sensitive, and dear GOD, swoonworthy! And Monroe, I LOVED her! She was strong, and feisty...and determined. This was the perfect combination of everything a romance should have. Angst, drama, sweet, soul-crushing romance! It was perfection!

LOVED. IT.

From the first page to the last, I absolutely loved this book and can't even pin point exactly why. Rhett and Monroe's story isn't so different, or outrageous from anything I've read before. I'm thinking because it was solid. K.L. Grayson kicked off her Dirty Dicks (hilarious by the way) series with a solid romance that ticked all of the boxes for me.

The blurb pretty much says it all. Rhett has left the small town of Heaven, made a huge name for himself, got injured and is now back. There was a reason he stayed away from the town, as well as his family for six years and her name is Monroe. It was a nice change of pace to have the guy reeling from a breakup instead of the girl. The one thing Rhett did, that a lot of these brokenhearted guys do that irritates me, is to try and fill the black hole she left by effing countless, faceless women. So dumb. I digress. Sexcapades not withstanding, I liked the guy and I liked Monroe for him. They just fit.

In the six years he's been gone, Mo hasn't had time to wallow in the pain of breaking up with Rhett. She's a busy girl, lots on her plate. Sure, she still keeps track of his every move, however let her life go on as best as she could with what she was dealing with. Monroe was no nonsense. Excellent quality in a female lead,

Now Rhett and Mo together, an absolute dream! Yes, they have tons to work out and he still has a career outside of Haven, plus other things trying to pull them apart, but damn it, these two were meant to be. For reals. And I was glued to every page waiting to see how that was going to happen.

The book is well written and contains everything you could want from a nice, long lost romance. Sure we get a lot of Rhett with his broken heart, but boy when he's all better, the sexy Rhett is something else! There's angst, family, friends and of course Simon, who is my true favorite and deserves his own book. With Tess, naturally. Actually, Mo's best friend Claire gets a turn next and you can bet I'll be waiting patiently for it. Especially if we get to peek in to see how Mo and Rhett are doing.

4.5 You're my more stars!!

“We fell hard and fast, but we both had big dreams, and we made a promise that when the time came, we’d support each other in the pursuit of those plans. Turned out her version of support was much different than mine.”

“I know what it’s like to be the center of that man’s world. It’s consuming. And perfect. And I’m losing my mind.”

“I’ve learned the hard way that tomorrow isn’t promised, and things can change in an instant.”

“Dreams change, Dad. That’s the thing about life–it’s constantly shifting and rearranging itself, and with that comes new perspectives.”

Holy freaking wow!! Is there anything that KL Grayson can not write??? Cowboy romances are usually hit or miss for me, but boy did KL Grayson make a fan out of me!! Crazy Sexy Love is all that and a bag of chips. This story is heartfelt, angsty and completely unforgettable….

Crazy Sexy Love follows the story of Mo and Rhett. From the moment I picked up their story, I was completely sucked in. I fell hard and fast for this couple and could not wait to see how their story would play out. Mo and Rhett fell in love when they were young, invincible and had the world at their feet. However, mistakes and a major misunderstanding will put these two lovers on a path neither one of them ever dreamed of. It will be six years before these two will reunite and when they do…all bets are off. The hurt, pain and regret are still there, however, sparks haven’t faded. All those emotions and pent up feelings will take Mo and Rhett for the ride of their lives…

There isn’t one single thing that I didn’t love about Crazy Sexy Love. The writing is brilliant and intoxicating. The story-line will tug at your heart and leave you begging for more. There is pain. There is heartache. There is delicious angst and an incredible pull. There is an undeniable romance with explosive chemistry that begs for you to devour the pages. This book was just the second chance romance I was looking for. I was so head over heels for this couple that I could not put this book down. I devoured it in just a few short hours and loved evry single second of it.

Crazy Sexy Love is the first book in an all new exciting series from author KL Grayson and I for one can not wait to see what this series has in store for us next!

Well I think this book should be retitled as Damn Sexy Cowboy! Rhett Allen is sa-woooon! I really enjoyed this second chance romance. I loved Rhett and Mo. Mo is a selfless heroine that I loved almost immediately. I was happy for her to get her HEA! And while I did love Rhett there was a time or two that I wanted give him a good piece of my mind. But he redeemed himself and after wasting so many years gave Mo the future she deserved. If you like hot cowboys and sweet heroines this story is for you! Anxiously anticipating the next book in this series.

Audiobook Review

Overall 3 stars
Performance 4.5 stars
Story 2.5-3 stars

I really love second chance romances (especially childhood friends to lovers), but this one just didn't quite hook me the way that I'd hoped. Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross were fantastic however, and I loved all the emotion and feeling they put into these characters. The duet style was amazing, especially for the more heated scenes. Even though I had some issues with the decisions the characters made/were making, I couldn't wait to find out how Mo and Rhett's story was going to end. I also really loved Mo's relationship with her father and some of those scenes had me reaching for a tissue to dry my eyes.

I think the biggest issue for me, is that I found myself more frustrated and annoyed at Rhett and Mo for their lack of communication than in love with them. So much heartbreak could have been avoided with some honesty and a conversation. I understand that they were young and that young love is often all consuming and explosive, but I still found it hard to believe that they wouldn't have fought a little harder to at least have closure/tried to reach out to the other in the 6 years that they've been apart. I also had a hard time with Mo essentially groveling and begging for Rhett's forgiveness. Mistakes were made by both of them, but it was Rhett who got angry and acted like he was the only one who had been wronged. Add in the fact that Rhett enjoyed all the buckle bunnies he wanted while Mo abstained completely, and I just had a hard time believing in their love. I did like that as the story progressed, both characters grew and matured. Mo started thinking about her dreams and how to go after them, while Rhett stopped only thinking of himself/acting selfish. Overall, this was an enjoyable listen and I liked it enough to want to continue on with the series.

This is a second chance between Rhett and Monroe. They've been separated six years and anything surrounding the two of them still causes pain, angst, and a wide array of conflicting emotions. He's spent the past 6 years as a famous bull rider and her life and dreams have been put on pause as she's struggling to care for her dad and keep his non-profit afloat (unbeknownst to Rhett). Rhett is injured and comes home to recover and everything from past to present hits full on between him and Monroe.

I will certainly say this one felt real. The author had an engaging style of writing and you couldn't look away from the two of them. I didn't think this one would hit so hard in the feels. It was a lot of angst, emotions, and frustration. And you find yourself rooting for the two of them together (and separately as they each need to actualize their personal dreams).

With that said, this often times for me lead towards the annoying kind of frustration. Their break up, time apart, and journey back together is littered with miscommunications and mistrust galore that seemed a little unnecessary and repetitive at times.

If you know me by now, any story that has me on a fence can you usually sway me with a satisfying epilogue. Especially after all the build up of them finally getting back together, I was hoping for a little glimpse into the future of their HEA.

Last by not least, I by no means have any safety reader triggers whatsoever. HOWEVER, there are plot devices and tropes, etc that often get used time and time again. One in particular for second chance romances. So sometimes it just gets tiresome to re-read similar themes often. The H is def not celibate. OW galore and even one instance immediately after the breakup is a situation that the h was aware about. Meanwhile, she never dated or got busy even once. I mean geez, get you some girl.

So yeah, I just get tired of reading the H that put his d**k in anything that moved for years and the h saved herself and she just accepts the fact there were a ton of women before her. AND he got annoyed when she felt any lingering jealousy issues about overzealous female fans, models, etc. Eyeroll.

I digress, I was still engaged with this read and did believe in the couple. I don't intend to read on in this series because I didn't feel any pull towards the other characters that will have stories to be featured. But I'd definitely try another one of her books.

Sexy, Heartfelt, and Beautifully Written!!

KL Grayson is an automatic one click for me. You can always feel her stories come to life and this one hit all the right spots!

Rhett is a true alpha cowboy. Nothing more alpha than a bull rider and he truly lives and breathes that life. After an incident takes him back to his hometown he has to face his past.

Mo is running herself ragged. She is taking care of everything but herself. But staying busy keeps her from thinking about him.... Until he comes home.

This second chance romance will touch you in so many ways. It is filled with love, loss, and hope.
This is definitely one that you don't want to miss!

Review by Jen Skewes


I loved this second chance romance. To be honest this is actually my first book about a sexy Bull Riding hero. Rhett Allen is sexy and sweet and completely swoon worthy.

Rhett is a championship Bill Rider who left home about six years ago to pursue his dream. Shortly after Monroe, the girl who had his heart, took it and stomped all over it. In the years since he left the little town of Heaven, he has not been home once. He cannot handle seeing Mo, and has forbidden his family members to even speak of her. But when an injury lands him in the hospital and needs someone to help take care of him, he has no choice but to go back. Which also means facing his past again.

Monroe is a hard worker who takes care of her father, runs an animal shelter and works at night. Six years ago she not only broke the heart of the only man that she loved but she also broke hers in the process. She has not been herself since then. When Rhett comes back to town she promised herself no more lies. When it comes to Rhett she needs to tell him the truth that she has been holding on to. He may never forgive her but he needs to know.

The spark between the two of them is still very much there. And you can still feel how much these two deeply care about each other. Rhett is still having a hard time dealing with what happened six years ago but at the same time he wants her in his life. Realization hits him and he knows that he cannot walk away from her again. Until the truth comes out and boy what a truth it was. Trust me you will get mad, maybe even angry and at the same time it will cause your heart to break as well. I was mad, frustrated and wanted to punch a certain someone. Will Rhett walk away or can he forgive Monroe and give love a second chance?

I completely swooned over Rhett Allen. He was a man with a broken heart but yet his attitude and actions, especially towards Mo definitely spoke volumes. He truly tried to put the past behind him when it came to her and when his heart was all healed again, watch out, because we get to see more of the sexy side of Rhett .

Crazy Sexy Live is the start of a new series that I know is going to be fantastic. The writing is excellent. This book has it all, the right mix of drama, angst and sexiness, a sexy heroine who will make you weak in the knees, a strong independent heroine who you will love and admire and a cast of supporting characters that you cannot wait to hear more about. Once I started this book I did not want to put it down. A must read!!

When I first started Crazy, Sexy Love the series title kind of freaked me out. A few years ago, there was a rash - pun definitely intended - of books about venereal diseases; honestly, they grossed me out. So, let me assuage my fears (and potentially yours), Dirty Dicks, while an important asset to the story, has nothing to do with genitalia. After I figured that out, I let myself relax into the story and truly enjoyed Monroe and Rhett’s journey back to one another.

Crazy, Sexy Love is the first book in KL Grayson’s Dirty Dicks series. Each book will focus on a different couple, but they are interconnected so you’ll see characters from each novel throughout the story. Crazy, Sexy Love is written in first-person perspective, narrated by Monroe and Rhett.

I love me a good second chance romance and Crazy, Sexy Love delivered on that front. Monroe and Rhett had wonderful chemistry, from the second Monroe saw Rhett get bucked off the bull until the final page of the book, their passion and adoration was palpable in every thought, word, and action involving the other. I was infatuated with them and how – despite the sins of their pasts – pure and almost innocent their love was.

After reading some incredibly dark, heavy, emotionally-draining book, Crazy, Sexy Love was a great holiday. Heaven was such a comforting place to go to. The characters felt familiar and real, and the town itself felt much like my own small-town America hometown. While both Rhett and Monroe faced some difficulties, they had such amazing friends and family around to support them I never felt like they were up against insurmountable odds. I just loved the dynamics Ms. Grayson put into play in this book and how content I felt while reading this book.

There were moments I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, especially in the form of a certain troublemaker, because of how little angst was in Crazy, Sexy Love. I was sure, several times how the conflict point of the book was going to play out and I think I was a little disappointed to have not got more out of the climax of the story.

KL Grayson won me over with her A Touch of Fate series and secured her place on my must-read list with The Truth About Lennon. She writes emotionally poignant stories and is adept at making her stories feel real like they could be the stories of people you’ve met throughout your life. This book didn’t quite stand up, emotionally, against her other stories, but I still very much loved the new, lighter tone she took in this book.

Where to start, where to start??!!!  First of all, if you’ve not read a novel by KL Grayson you need to stop what you are doing and rectify that! She is just amazing! She has an amazing ability to bring us strong males that totally make me swoon and fall in love with and females that aren’t weak and helpless.  They may have their struggles but they are females you can identify with.   Crazy Sexy Love with another hit for her for me.  I just loved it!  Second chance love is a favorite of mine to read and Ms Grayson made me fall in love with Rhett and Mo!  This is a book I would highly recommend and was a HUGE 5 star read for me!  This is a standalone and is told in alternating points of views.

Mo puts everyone first instead of herself. When her father had a stroke several years back, she dropped everything to be his caregiver and takeover the family business, a no kill animal shelter.  She had dreams of being a veterinary and had to drop of school. She works at the shelter during the day and waitresses a couple of times a week at night at a local bar. She doesn’t have time for herself let alone a relationship. She had one love in her life but when her father got sick, it seemed like everything started falling apart, including her relationship.

Rhett is a top bull riding on rodeo circuit. He’s made it big by being the best and sacrificing not only his body but any relationships.  When an injury sidelines him and sends him home to rehab, he will come to face to face with the person who even held his heart, Mo.  Six years have passed and seeing her again is just like his heart was broken so many years ago.   When the two come together the sparks are still there and its evident they have feelings for each other.   What happens when they discover those feelings are still there?

Crazy Sexy Love will make you falling in love and will have you wishing for your own cowboy to come swoop you off your feet! I know it did for me!!

KL Grayson has written a fantastic book with a hot bull rider book boyfriend. Yee-haw! Rhett Allen is a champion bull rider who has it all. Then he is injured and has to return home to Heaven after 6 years to recuperate when he has to face his past finally. Monroe “Mo” Gallagher was the love of his life. She never left town due to her dad and needing to take care of him. Things happened between these young lovers that caused Monroe to cause him to leave. She had to because he had dreams that needed to be lived and Monroe couldn’t leave so she did what she thought he wanted. Monroe has made sure to stay busy after the love of her life up and left. Oh she has kept track of her lost love but with everything on her plate, she has tried to let her life go on as best as she possibly could. She is the sweetest woman ever written, and she has a heart of gold. Monroe has only been surviving on half a heart. Now that Rhett is back in town, she is wondering what will happen between them. She knows she needs to tell him the truth , be honest about why she really ended their relationship. Only thing is, will Rhett allow her to get close enough to explain? Or will Monroe continue to live with the heartbreak and regret forever ?
This story has all the feels. It really grabs you from the first page and just hooks you . The main characters and their story will grab your heart. We get who the characters are-- Monroe is a sweet, somewhat naïve and sassy woman and Rhett is rugged, reckless , sexy and cocky. Cocky especially when it comes to his career. We see Rhett with his broken heart but look out for Rhett when things really heat up and things are better because he is sexy cowboy Rhett—whoa, he is outta any woman’s league but Monroe’s. Rhett acted at times bad to Monroe but don’t give up on him. There is a pivotal moment in this book that allows Rhett to redeem himself. There is twists and turns which makes this a must read romance. This story which is a perfect exs to lovers has it all- drama, angst, passion, heartbreak, hope, romance and ultimately true love. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series which looks to be Claire’s book.

My Rating: 4.7 stars *****

Crazy Sexy Love by Author K. L. Grayson is a standalone, second chance romance.

“Claire and her mother know a little of what happened between Rhett and me, but they don’t know the whole story, and it’s going to stay that way. Some secrets are better left tucked away in a dark closet.”

Mo and Rhett were each other’s firsts. They loved each other, hard and passionately. They were young and had dreams to chase. Dreams that took them away from each other. But some dreams never diminish, especially in matters of the heart.

“It’s a sad day when we’d rather shovel **** than talk about our past.”

Rhett’s chosen profession kicked up the level of cowboy sexy that he threw down just by being him. Big-time rodeo king returns to small-town living and beautiful and feisty Mo. Her story of shattered dreams and disappointments made my heart squeeze. But her never ending determination and heart of gold let me know that she was still the perfect woman to go head-to-head and heart-to-heart with Rhett.

“...when you fall in love, that man will give you his heart every day for life.”

If you’re in the mood for a sweet and infectious love story, you need this book. I loved it! I got all the nostalgic feels of first loves and last loves. I loved the small towns, the outdoors, animal life, southern living. It was charming.

“You’re worth so much more than the buckle or the bull or the adrenaline rush. I can live without those things, but not without you...”

I would have rated this higher if Rhett wasn't such a selfish prick. I wish Mo had made him fight harder for that second chance she handed him on a silver platter.

So I stumbled across this book while browsing through Amazon, and as I am a bit of a sucker for cowboys, I decided to give it a go.
BEST. DECISION. EVERRRRRRR!!!

Guyssss, I am HOOKED!!! I was so excited to realise this was a series centred around one family, and I went straight back and got the next two books also.

Rhett Allen is LIFE!!! If you are fan of dirty-talking cowboys, then I guarantee you will love this man. The chemistry between him and Monroe (Mo) is insane! Right from the get go, you can tell there is unfinished business between these two, and it’s only a matter of time before things get explosive.

This is a beautifully written, second chance romance, with so many amazing characters; I’ve fallen in love with them all (particularly Coop, Trevor and Linc)
I had never read a book from KL Grayson before, but I know that from now on I am going to be devouring everything she has written!

Y’all Staaahhhpp It! I was not ready for how much I love KL Grayson. I started this series because I read her Crossover novella, Crazy Imperfect Love, and I was crazy about it! I knew I had to read the Dirty Dicks series.

There is so much to love about Rhett and Monroe. Rhett is the first hot bull-rider Hero I’ve read and he was so damn sexy. Monroe was equally wonderful. She was strong, loyal and loving. I love a second chance romance and this one takes the cake!

This is quickly becoming one of my very favorite series.

This is a great second chance romance. The characters made this one for me. I loved them all and it left me wanting more from this series. Mo and Rhett captured my heart and I was pulling them right from the start. I love the work that Mo does. Her animal rescue was one of my favorite things about this book. I found myself laughing quite often, but it also has it's heartfelt moments. I did tear up a few times while reading this book. I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series.

I absolutely adore any and every thing K.L. Grayson writes and I was so looking forward to this release from just the cover and blurb alone. And yep, she's done it again.  I LOVED this book!

Ok, so I'm already a sucker for a second chance romance and when K.L. Grayson is writing that second chance romance you can bet that you're going to feel every bit of emotion from her fantastic characters.  And boy, did I ever with this book...

Super delicious pro-bull riding champ Rhett begrudgingly heads home after a bull riding injury and he knows what's in store when he returns....Mo.  The girl who stole his heart all those years ago.

Mo has had her own set of circumstances that has shaped who she is today and she's also never forgotten that cowboy from her past.

What happens now, when a little fate and forced proximity comes into play, makes pure magic.  Oh man how I loved these two together.  Mo is a strong, selfless gal and I loved reading her.  Her life hasn't been a cake-walk and her story broke my heart but I knew Ms. Grayson would give her the happily ever after she deserved ;-) Rhett is the whole freaking package.  He's sexy, sweet, and has a  soft side that had me swooning.  OMG and that southern drawl?  Call me a goner for that man! Their journey isn't an easy one and they definitely handle some bumps along the road as they reconcile past hurt feelings and broken hearts but when they come out on the other side of things, it's sublime.  Have I mentioned I loved these two characters!?

If you're looking for a total page-binging read, this is a book you must get on your list.  Thank you, Ms Grayson for yet another stellar read! I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.

BLURB: Three-time world champion bull rider Rhett Allen has never been afraid to get his hands dirty. Hard work, sweat, and determination have gotten him where he is today—and that’s holed up in a hospital room, wondering how he let that damn bull buck him off. He’s also wondering why he thought it was a good idea to let his twin brother talk him into returning home to heal.

Rhett has a million reasons to come home to Heaven, Texas, and only one reason to stay away. That reason comes in the form of a sweet and feisty girl who stole his heart long before he ever thought to give it away. The only problem…that girl has turned into a stunning woman.

Monroe Gallagher is downright sexy with more curves than he has notches in his bed post. It’s been six years since he’s seen her, six years since he’s felt any form of peace, and six years since she gripped his heart in her delicate little hands and squeezed the life out of it. The longer he’s in Heaven, the more he starts to realize that the heart she took from him—the one she crushed into a million pieces—she also never gave back.


Thoughts: This is a really good contemporary, second-chance-at-love romance that grabs you from the beginning. The path to love for these two is a rocky one, with plenty of twists and turns, lies and misunderstandings. But the chemistry and love between these two bring them back full circle - and well worth the journey!
