Kiss My Boots is a sexy, emotional, sophisticated second chance romance that ignites all the feels. Harper Sloan has once again slayed the romance literary world with her heartfelt swoonworthy romance as she makes readers fall in love with her prose and vulnerable down to earth characters.

"He left, and with him he took all the promises he’d ever whispered. He stole that piece inside me he had filled, and I hadn’t found a way to fix it since.”

Who doesn’t love a good second chance romance? I know, I do. Hell, it’s one of my favorite tropes. The idea of two lovers reuniting and getting that second chance to make things right is why I love reading romance novels and let me just say, Harper Sloan knows how to write an emotional and sexy second chance love story.

Quinn Davis is not your quintessential stereotypical girl next door. For one, she is a mechanic which I so applaud Harper Sloan for showcasing a heroine in a male dominated profession. She is sassy, strong willed and independent as hell and so she prefers to live a quiet life. The reason for that is she once gave her heart to a man who ended up leaving and in return gave her a broken heart.

"I pray that he can see the desperation my love for him makes me feel. The need to get as close as two people physically can is almost unbearable. What I feel— this fire burning deep in my belly— only becomes more powerful the longer I deny what I crave.”

Tate Montgomery is that man who walked away from Quinn Davis nine years ago and now he is back to win the heart of Quinn. Ladies, let me just say this cowboy will have your panties melting as he shows Quinn that she is the only one in his heart.

Quinn and Tate’s journey of reconnecting and rebuilding their relationship was truly unforgettable. This couple had my heart as everything about them felt raw, vulnerable and natural. Trust me when I tell you, it is not hard to fall and root for this couple. Yes, Tate may have walked away from Quinn nine years ago but there was a valid reason and I loved that Harper Sloan allowed readers to see both sides of the story and allowed readers to see two hearts colliding as one finally was able to let go of the walls surrounding her heart.

"He left a handsome boy and came back a devilishly hot man. His body, having always been in shape, is aged to perfection. His abs are a little more defined, his pecs even larger, and his arms that would— I’m sure— feel like steel bands when they were wrapped around you.”

Kiss My Boots is the perfect summer read as this book had everything you could of asked for. It had amazing and lovable characters, heartfelt dialogue, and a romance that was palpable from the start. The writing was beautiful as Harper Sloan allowed readers to feel for her characters as two hearts surrendered to their love for each other. So if you are looking for a sweet and heartfelt second chance romance that was brimming with so much love, passion, and emotions then I highly recommend you to read Kiss My Boots.

Harper Sloan once again captures your heart with the newest book in her Coming Home Series. She does a great job getting into Quinn and Tate's storyline and will have you wondering what is next for them. Quinn Davis is sassy, sexy and a bad ass who will not let anyone get the best of her. Tatum Montgomery is hot, sexy and knows what he wants. With these two anything can happen and they will take you on one hell of a ride. And find out why you can "Kiss My Boots".


Quinn and Tate became friends when they were 11 yrs old and fell in love with each other when they were 18. Neither one of them was ready to let the other one go, so when Tate cut all ties his last summer in town, Quinn is left with a broken heart.

Quinn has always loved trucks and cars, so it's no surprise that she took over the family's auto shop. Everyone in town knows if you want your truck worked on, you take it to Quinn. When Tate has his grandfather's truck taken to Quinn's she knows that her world is about to be turned on its axis especially knowing that Tate is coming back and is here to stay.

Tate is back finally after 9 years and there is one thing he wants more than anything else and that's Quinn. He needs to explain to her what happened all of those years ago and win back not only her heart but her trust. When they finally realize that their feelings have never changed will they be able to give themselves the second chance they deserve?

JESUS JONES this book!!!!

Nobody knows heartbreak like Quinn Davis does. But she powers through everyday, running her own Auto shop, keeping her emotions and pain in check. That is until Tatum Montgomery comes barreling into her life once again. Her plan of action includes staying as far away from him as possible.

Tate has only felt truly at home when he was at his grandparents at Pine Oak, Texas. Another important reason for his love of that place is Quinn, the love of his life. He went away without a trace for his own reasons. But now he's back and ready to go to all lengths to make Quinn his once again. And this time he's playing for keeps.

OH MY GOD TATE!!!!!!!!!! *heart eyed hyperventilating*

This story was so good. It had me smiling and feeling all kinds of giddy. The emotions not only between Tate and Quinn but between the Davis family had my heart singing with happiness. I am so in love with all these characters.

Quinn was such a sassy and hilarious character. I wish I was best friends with her. I love how she is completely independent yet never ashamed of needing emotional support from her family.

I can't even with Tate, Mave and Clay, y'all!! So this was my first Harper book ever and I can't believe I have been missing out on such goodness. GAWD! These cowboys have me by the heart FOR LIFE. When Tate called Quinn "darlin' I think I squealed like a little girl. It made me fawn over him so hard.

I think cowboys are officially my new kryptonite!!!!

Harper Sloan serves up another fantastic read in Kiss My Boots - a story about a tough woman, her first love, and their ups and downs to forever love.

I loooove cowboy stories and was hooked on this series from the first book, Lost Rider. Fans of Harper knows that she writes seriously sexy alpha men. This combined with cowboy boots and a Southern drawl makes my heart beat quicker. I was hooked on Quinn and Tate's story from the beginning. Quinn is tough yet feminine with attitude to spare. Tate has quite a time trying to win her heart back, as he should. I can honestly say, these two were more then meant to be together.

Kiss My Boots can be read as a standalone but would probably be better enjoyed after reading Lost Rider as many main characters are introduced during this book. I can not wait to see what Harper has planned for us with Clay's story!

Kiss My Boots by Harper Sloan is the second book in her Coming Home series and tells the story of Quinn Davis. We met her in the previous book, Lost Rider, but can be read as a standalone.

Quinn Davis gave up on love a long time ago. Her happily-ever-after walked out of her life and with it, any chance at love. So, she lives her life as she pleases. The badass girl who works on cars and loves her family. I loved Quinn. She was strong, determined and feisty. She avoided relationships like the plague, because she never wanted to open her heart again.

Tate Montgomery has lived the past nine years missing a part of his soul. After spending summers with his grandparents in Pine Oak Texas when he was younger, Quinn and he were inseparable. They were friends, to best friends to young love. They shared one amazing summer, making plans, and then everything fell apart. For those he loved, he walked away. But when he came back, he was determined to make it right. Tate was strong, caring, loving and selfless.

Though I enjoyed the previous book, I loved Kiss My Boots. I loved Tate and Quinn. They had chemistry, history and were so good together. Tate and Quinn lost so much time. Their journey was not easy. They both had past demons that were weighing them down. Could they find their way back to each other or was it too late for them?

This was a great read, with amazing characters and side characters that will make you laugh out loud. This was a sweet romance with emotional and heartwarming moments. I loved every moment of it. It will draw you in from the beginning. I am looking forward to the next book.

I loved this book so much! Harper has me completely amazed by the Coming Home series and even more so these characters. I can’t wait for Clay’s book! I am a true sucker for second chance love stories and this one is one of my favorites!

Quinn is such an amazing woman! She is a strong, sassy, and hard headed mechanic. Being the youngest in the family with two older brothers she had grown up standing up for herself and not relying too much on anyone. Meeting her in Lost Rider I knew I wanted her to have her own book and to get her own happy ever after.

Tate is about as swoons as you can get. He is a smooth talkin’ doctor who is ready to settle down in the town where his grandparent’s lived. He used to spend his summers there when he was younger and that’s how he met and first fell in love with Quinn. I loved how protective and how much of a fighter he was. So swoony!

Quinn and Tate’s relationship had me swooning from the get go. He is determined to get her back and will do everything in his power to make her believe in him again. Even after years of being in separate states, Tate knows Quinn like the back of his hand. He is everything Quinn needs and wants being protective enough but also knowing when to step back and let her take the lead.

Both of these books in the series are the perfect summer reads! Grab both and fall in love with the Davis’ family! I can’t wait to get my hands on Cowboy Up when it comes out later this year and fall in love with Clay too.

Grateful to have received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a book I struggled with how to review because while there were parts I absolutely loved, there were things that had me climbing the walls with frustration. I ended up deciding to go with the higher rating because the parts that I found frustrating fell into the personal preference category and I felt that it would be unfair to let that way too heavily.

The story is Kiss My Boots is a solid 4 star effort for a second chance romance. Quinn and Tate fell in love over the summers that he would stay with his grandparents through high and high school before he "vanished" at the end of the summer before college. 9 years later he's back in town and they have history to deal with.
I loved these two together. Their love story, both past and present was sweet, tender, and had me rooting for them. The reasons behind their separation made it easier for Quinn and her brothers to forgive Tate and let their relationship rebuild itself.
The secondary cast centers on Quinn's brothers, Maverick (Coming Home #1) and Clay and the family drama explained initially in book 1. Those issues continue to play out in Kiss My Boots, but even with some of the continuations, this works well as a stand alone.

Okay - now as much as I liked the story in Kiss My Boots, some of the execution had me extremely frustrated. The biggest issue for me was that even though this series is set in Texas, very little is done to establish the broader setting outside of the town of Pine Oak. I could live with that, but for the author's instance that the characters "speak" with an exaggerated accent. The accent issue is two fold: 1) the dropped g's and other unique pieces of language actually made it difficult to read some of the dialogue. 2) The over the top language choice made it seem almost as if the author was making fun of the types of people her characters represent.

I'd like to believe that the issues that I found frustrating were in place because the author felt they were important to the story and not everyone is going to have the same preferences or predilections I do while reading, so I can't penalize the book too much. Overall, I enjoyed the story and am looking forward to Clay's story.

Quinn Davis would rather be under the hood of a car than out on the horses with her brothers. She is firmly settled in Pine Oak, Texas living the quiet life she always dreamed of. She may not have everything she dreamed of, but dreams change over time.

Tate Montgomery only ever felt at home on his grandparents’ Texas farm, but hasn’t been back in years. Now he has returned to start over again, and he’s hoping to find some things in the small town the same as when he left.

Tate and Quinn had a young love that was kept fairly quiet. Everyone knew they were close, and they were friends, but no one else knew things were more than that. When he left town and cut off communication with Quinn, she was crushed. Now that he is back, old hurts come to the surface and the past must be faced if Tate wants another chance with the only woman he has ever loved.

These two have instant chemistry in the present -- their past has unresolved hurts. I loved the fire between them, even as Quinn’s pain is on the surface. She has a wild streak and uses it to her advantage where Tate is concerned.

This was a second chance romance with past hurts to overcome and present dreams to align. Quinn had a lot of trust issues to overcome, some caused by Tate himself, others by family drama. Tate had some explaining and proving to do to heal the hurts he had caused with his desertion.

I am looking forward to Clay’s book coming next, Cowboy Up. He has been a voice of reason for both Maverick and Quinn as they worked things out with their first loves, but little of his own story has been revealed. He is always such a fountain of relationship advice that I can’t help but wonder if he’s made his own share of mistakes too.

I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I picked up this second installment to the Coming Home series because the first one really drew me in. This second one didn't disappoint as I, also, thoroughly enjoyed it. The writing flows nicely and is easy to read. I find the story of Quinn and Tate engaging. I think the fact that Tate was basically forced out of Quinn's life by his own family created a turmoil that made for a super gut-wrenching story. With each chapter, both of them uncover more truths to secrets that have long kept them in strife and from each other. Quinn and Tate use Tate's homecoming as a jumping off point to help heal each other's souls. It's really a heart-warming tale, seeing two people who were destined for each other, come together and take their own futures and happiness into their own hands. I can't wait for Clay's story!

Harper Sloan writes amazing second chance romance books. I loved Lost Rider (Book #1 of the Coming Home series) and Kiss My Boots is an excellent follow up. Whilst you could read this as a stand-alone book it is enhanced by reading the first book before this one.

Ms Sloan fills her characters with so much personality that they feel like old friends. It didn’t take long for me to be drawn back into the town of Pine Oak and the lives of Quinn, Mav, Leigh and Clay. This is the book where we find out why Quinn refuses to let any man, other than her brothers, get close to her heart. We also find out why Tate broke his promises to her all those years ago.

Normally I like a second-chance story where the protagonist who left has a lot of making up to do and doesn’t get an easy ride. However as this was the basis of Lost Rider, the author made the correct call on heading down a very different pathway with this book. I liked that she also avoided a lot of the clichés that you can find in contemporary romance books.

Quinn has a lot of issues ON TOP of losing Tate when she was 18. This book is more about how she explores and finds resolution for those problems and how this deepens and strengthens her relationship with Tate.

Whilst this is still a passionate and emotion-filled book, most of those feelings are positive and hopeful, so the book didn’t leave me feeling ‘wrecked’ like some can. That isn’t to say I didn’t love the book because I did – I loved it from start to finish and that is mainly due to the wonderfully crafted characters and the strength of the relationships between them all. For me it's the kind of book you don't want to put down until you've read every single word of it.

And, oh boy, that epilogue … it was just such a perfect way to end this part of the story. All that’s left now is for Clay to find his HEA because if there was ever a man who deserves one it is him.

Omg, Harper Sloan can really rattle my brain and slice my heart open, so much feelings..........

When Quinn gets a phone call from the one person she'd never expected to hear from again her whole world shifts. Tate once left the one girl he loves without a word, what she don't know is the reason. Now he's back to fight for their future.

The second book in this series is just as good as the first one I absolutely love the characters and adding Tate to the mix don't make it less appealing. He's strong, caring, driven and honest. His love for Quinn is undeniable and I like how considerate he is to her brothers wen he knows they do anything for her.

Quinn is a hell-raiser and want nothing to do with Tate but when she learns the truth she's forced to consider the possibility that her feelings have never changed.
The storyline is good an I like the little snippets from the past.

I like the light and fun writing style even when the topics are heavy. I laughed and I cried and enjoyed this book so much.

The characters are well described with lots of feelings so I feel like I got to know them very well.

This is a story about love that they thought was lost, but it was not at all lost. The sort of connection the author describes is never lost.

I now hope for a book about the third Davis sibling also finding his love ❤️

Oh wow! I've always liked second chance romances. But this has got to be one of my favorites now. I love that Tate finally is able to return and win back the woman he has loved for years. I cheered for every demon Quinn worked to overcome. Tate and Quinn, together is nothing short of amazing.

Kiss my Boots is the second chance love story of Quinn, a mechanic in her small Texas town, and Tate, the new town OB/GYN. I kind of loved that she is in a male profession and he is in a female dominated profession. Nice twist! I am going to do this review as I read, so you are getting my thoughts!

This is VERY similar to book 1, Lost Rider in the trope. Q and Tate fell in love as teenagers, then he went off to college and never spoke to her again. Q stayed in town just like Leigh (from book 1) did, and now that the hero has returned, she struggles with her feelings of abandonment, love, and fear. So far, its pretty much the same book with different characters.

Oh no...if this Ella chick turns out to be a 'bunny boiler' like I am thinking she might be, I will be super annoyed. She seems like the crazy type of girl who would travel thousands of miles to 'win' Tate 'back', or fake a pregnancy or something. How do guys not see that in girls?!?

"I laugh dryly thinking about how corny my thoughts sound...". Yes, they sound VERY corny. Add to that the overuse of idioms and 'southern sayings' and weird analogies/metaphores, and the whole thing gets a little eye roll inducing. Hopeful that will die down as I read on.

Hmmm.....Tate's reason for leaving without a word is a bit weak in my opinion. I mean, there was NO way he could have found to get word to Quinn? None....really? Hmmmm. But, it was an attempt to be honorable and save several people, so as far as reasons go, I accept it.

Quinn sounds like every girl I know when it comes to trusting guys. She was heartbroken and terrified it will happen again. Its very relatable so I appreciate that.

Okay, they kind of got over the drama that kept them apart and its only like 1/2 way through the book. I'm pretty happy about this!

Its smooth sailing, fun, flirty times between these two and it actually turned into a lighter read!

Drama Llama in the last like 10% but these two handled it really maturely. THANK GOD!

Overall, even though the book didn't start out great for me, I am happy with the way it all turned out. The miscommunication is dealt with pretty early on and the book mainly focuses on them falling back in love. I also loved seeing Quinn's relationship with her oldest brother Clay. It was sweet!

Side note: The covers for this series are STUNNING and I adore them! Aren't they beautiful!? I love the use of color and the sun behind the models. Just beautiful!

Well "Jesus Jones," Quinn Davis is one sassy and funny character. I was excited to get her story when we met her as Leigh's best friend in the first book, Lost Rider! There was something sad (and bitter) inside Quinn and now we know why...it all had to do with a boy who crushed her young heart. And now he's back in Pine Oak.

Tate Montgomery grew up in Pine Oak during the summer. His grandparents had a farm there and he spent it hanging out with Quinn Davis. Their friendship turned into young love, but then it fizzled when Tate never returned to Pine Oak and left Quinn without word. And that's how Quinn became jaded with all relationships.

Tate is nothing but a gentlemen. His southern manners would charm the pants off any women, but when it comes to Quinn, it's not that easy. She's stubborn and can't forgive easily. So Tate has a work cut out for him, when he's back in Pine Oak and staying. Trying to get the woman he loves back proves tough, but he's not willing to give up.

The banter between Tate an Quinn is sweet, funny and hot. And I love the relationship between Quinn and her BFF, Leigh. Those two are hilarious together and raise a lot of hell! Kiss My Boots is another fun read with the Davis' siblings. Now, just patiently waiting for Clay's book...

This was such a deeply touching, moving and beautifully written story. This series has definitely hit all the right emotions. I love the characters and the storyline and all the emotions that come with. Everything came together for one stunning new book from Harper.

I will not talk about plot or storyline, because it should be read without that information. I will just say I absolutely adore this author and her work. I would read anything that she wrote and this story is definitely going down as one of my favorites by her. I can't wait to read more from this series of books.

I was so excited to read Kiss My Boots which is the second book in the Coming Home book series. Kiss My Boots can be read as a stand alone if you have not read this first book, Lost Rider. Sloan writes a beautifully romantic novel about first love and second chances. The setting is a lovely Texas Ranch that will make you want to live there. Sloan creates a magically romantic setting. While the plot as been used before, there is a twist that will leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart. I love how this love story as love, hope, heartbreak, family and friendships. I read this book in two settings and cannot wait for the third book in this series

Quinn is a great character. She's the anti-thesis of the princess in need of rescuing. She speaks her mind, can take care of herself and doesn't let stereotypes dictate her life. You can't help but admire a spitfire like Quinn. So it's only fair that this opinionated firecracker have an equally powerful and encourageable hero. Tate should have smooth operator tattooed on his forehead. He can lay on the charm. However, that particular skill lands him in trouble with matters of the heart. Ms. Sloan reeled me in with sassy dialogue, tempting characters and heartwarming moments. Kiss My Boots will walk all over your heart and leave you with a smile.

Kiss My Boots by Harper Sloan was an incredible read!

I love country romance stories, and this novel definitely fit that bill. Tate and Quinn are two characters perfectly suited to one another. They have such a powerful connection, that no matter what won't fade away or disappear. They will always be connected and have a mutual respect and love for one another.

Every single novel written by Harper is a must read, and this novel is no exception. Everyone should go and purchase and read this novel for themselves today.

5/5 Stars!

Kiss My Boots (Coming Home # 2) Harper Sloan

Kiss My Boots is a standalone second chance romance, but I’d read Lost Rider first to get a background story. Lost Rider is awesome anyways so it would not be a hardship. The heroine Quinn is Leigh’s bestie in Lost Rider. I was intrigued by her sassy, funny, and fierce personality so I am glad Quinn has her own story.

Quinn and Tate grew up together, friends turned young lovers. The summer before Tate went away for college their relationship turned serious. They shared one unforgettable summer together with promises of future and happy ever after. However, after Tate took off for college he suddenly cut all ties with the girl he left behind. Quinn was confused and hurt. She tried to contact Tate but with no luck. Eventually, Quinn had to move on with her life but Tate was never far away her heart. Nearly a decade later, Quinn heard that Tate was moving back home to be the town only gynecologist - she was less than thrill. Quinn does not want anything to do with Tate, let alone scoping out her private part (That ship had sailed). Tate has other ideas though - he is determined to win back the love of his life but it won’t be easy. Tate has a lot of explaining and groveling to do.

I really enjoyed this light-hearted sweet love story. Tate is a nice guy – just got blackmailed back then but he was young and naïve, so ultimately, he did not make the best choices. Tate is all grown up now, a hot doctor, successful and ready to settle down. He just need to convince Quinn that he is here to stay. I adore Quinn. She is strong, a badass sassy tomboy who loves fast car. I like that there is no faking or pretense with her. She sorts of wear her heart on her sleeves. Quinn was skeptical and is afraid of getting hurt by Tate but she has no problem letting him know her true feelings. I like that their relationship seems honest, genuine and real. I also like how Quinn and Tate’s relationship developed. They are so cute together – dating and taking things slower this time. The story flows at a steady pace with little drama – I feel the lack of angst there but that’s because Quinn and Tate are open with each other so you are not getting the silence treatment or the chase. Over all, Kiss My Boots was a sweet, sexy, second-chance love story with a high dose of hilarious banters and swoony romance. Light, easy summer read.
