One Tough Cowboy by Lora Leigh; Veronica Chadwick - 3 Stars



One reviewer said that Lora’s Books can scorch the ink of the pages….so right.  If explicit sex scenes are not your bag, then this author is not for you.  Samantha when young used to follow Hunter around and some times bother his girl friends as he was older.  She leaves town and when her Aunt dies, under suspicious circumstances she comes back.  Hunter loses a loved one also under circumstances he isn’t falling for.  The plot gets really good with so much more going on intrigue, sex trafficking, guns blazing and a showdown…. but they are all interrupted by Hunter and Samantha having sex scenes.  Some times they interrupt the story line that I’m interested in and it goes to far for me.  I didn’t enjoy the book as much as I thought it would.  I found myself skimming through the sex scenes to get back to the rest of the story.  That is not how I usually read a book.  I wish there were more of the mystery they were trying to solve.  Not so much nakedness and some of it seemed unbelievable to me.  I gave this three stars…..a quick read but not really my cup of tea in totality.

I received this book through NetGalley.com and the publisher in the hopes that I would provide an honest review which I’ve done.  #OneToughCowboy #LoraLeigh #VeronicaChadwick

Description as found on NetGalley.com –

First in a brand-new series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh and Veronica Chadwick about one man’s pursuit of justice—and unbridled desire. 


LAW AND ORDER. 
For as long as Samantha can remember, Hunter—a man as strong as steel, with a heart of gold—has been her hero. It came as no surprise to Samantha when she found out that the ranch-hardened cowboy who always protected her from bullies went on to become the town’s sheriff. What does surprise her is how incredibly hot he still is. And how much she still wants him…


PRIDE AND PASSION


And, lo and behold, Hunter still has feelings for Samantha. The long-smoldering heat of their innocent flirtation has grown into a full-raging fire. But when tragedy strikes, and their small-town community is shattered, Hunter vows to do everything he can to keep his childhood sweetheart safe. But can Samantha trust that Hunter has her best interests at heart…and that, after all these years, his love is true?
