    About this ebook

    “Sassy, sexy and sweet…Codi never disappoints!” –New York Times bestselling author, Monica Murphy
    Loco, Texas #3
    The man no one defies…
    Wildman Red Calhoun has a reputation to protect. When a troublesome blonde with an awesome pair of… eyes strolls into town, the small town cowboy isn’t going to take attitude from a saucy California girl. Especially since she is remodeling his favorite bar. As a battle of wills ensues, Red is determined to take her down...and not just to his bed.
    Is about to meet his match…
    Jessie Dale just wants to start over after her last relationship went sour, and the burly man with the sexy grin is being a pain in her rear. Red isn’t even her type. He’s too big, too loud, and too damn bossy for her piece of mind. At least, that’s what she tells herself…until the first time he slants that hot mouth over hers, and suddenly, she’s having all kinds of steamy thoughts about her worst enemy.
    And a kiss can change everything…
    When Jessie’s ex-boyfriend strolls into town looking for a fight, Red finds himself ready to step in and protect the woman he’s fallen for. But Jessie has always run away from trouble…and finding herself in love with Red is definitely that.

      I just love these type of stories where the characters start off not liking each other before they realize that there is something between them – there is always so much tension and passion when that happens which makes for a great read.So we have Jessie who is running away from a bad situation with an ex, and she finds herself in Loco, Texas as the new owner of one of the local bars. Then we have Red, who is a romance novelist (yep, he keeps that little bit of information under his hat!) who has lost his muse and is having a bit of writer’s block. When he shows up for a drink at Jessie’s bar and finds out that she’s remodeling and not open…well that is just not going to do! What starts off as a very contentious relationship between the two quickly evolves into one of friendship and ultimately romance – which leads to some fun times and crazy outings.Unfortunately both Jessie and Red carry some scars from their pasts. Red is trying to recover from the events that led to his two best friends getting married, and Jessie has serious trust issues since her ex screwed her over really good. Of course all this leads to even more tension between the two and some rocky times as they try to figure things out.******She wasn't going to be used or manipulated ever again. She was going to control her own life, and her own orgasms. Which she could achieve without a six and a half foot redneck with linebacker shoulders and a grumpy disposition.Apparently her body didn't know that though, because when he opened his eyes and stared down at her with irritation, she couldn't stop thinking about sex; good, old fashioned angry sex.******It was fun watching Jessie keep Red in line. She had such a way of throwing him off balance and not letting him get away with his whole alpha male routine all the time. But it was also really great to see Red step up and protect Jessie when her past catches up to her.This was a really fun read with a great cast of characters (I just loved Red’s mom!) and a great story. I have not read the first book in the series (yet – I just bought it!), and didn't feel like I missed anything that wasn't explained if it needed to be. I can’t wait for the next book in this series…sounds like things truly are crazy in Loco, Texas!I won an advance copy of this book from the author with no agreement to do a review, so this is an honest one!
