As a longtime fan of Harper Sloan I as a bit surprised when I read that she was releasing a “Western Romance” novel titled Lost Rider. In my mind I pictured old western movies in which I have no interest in. I don’t even think I even read the synopsis… then a fellow blogger and trusted reading buddy says “I’m reading Lost Rider and I am loving it!” and that got me thinking… why am I being narrow minded just because of the word “western” and I decided to give it a go. Oh my gosh, I am so glad I did!!! I ended up loving Lost Rider and couldn’t wait for Kiss My Boots!

So here I am now recommending this series, set in my awesome state of Texas. Kiss My Boots is a beautiful second chance romance filled with the right blend of angst, sexiness, and lighthearted humor between Tate and Quinn. Tate is determined to win his first love back and Quinn is full of fight and feistiness. They both give and take from the very beginning until the inevitable tumble between the sheets changes the game. Their relationship makes for a very entertaining read! Fans of this author will be pleased with the final outcome. Kiss My Boots needs to be on your immediate TBR!

I couldn't WAIT to read Kiss My Boots after reading Lost Rider. I can't decide which one I'm more in love with. It MIGHT be Kiss My Boots, but I've been in a book hangover for WEEKS, so it took me a bit longer to get through it. If I wasn't it'll probably five instead of four stars.

I really LOVED the friendship between Quinn and Leighton. I can't stress that enough! I'm always cracking up when they're around. It was nice seeing Maverick again too, BUT this book was focused on Quinn and sigh Tate. The two of them and their love was one for the books. ;) I normally don't really care for flashbacks, but I could've read more when they were teenagers. The blossoming of their sweet love and their cute nicknames for each other I couldn't get enough of!!

I can't wait for Clay's story in Cowboy Up!!!

I love Quinn! I hadn't read Lost Rider first but that's where we meet Quinn since she's Leigh's BFF.

Quinn is a sassy tomboy, raised by her older brothers who are constantly hovering. She's not interested in romance - especially not with her ex who comes back to town to stay. And seems determined to win her back forever.

Tate made some dumb choices when he was younger, including leaving the only woman he's ever loved. He's back in town, he's staying and he wants Quinn back. He's got a lot of work ahead of him to win her back though.

I love Harper's Southern writing. I've never lived in the South so her writing makes me feel like what I'm able to live in the South - or at least be privy to how living is there.

"Quinn, the hell-raisin’ badass is back, and Tate Montgomery can kiss my boots."

Kiss My Boots is the second standalone book in the Coming Home Series by Harper Sloan centred around hell-raisin' Quinn Davis and rich boy Tatum Montgomery.

I love a second chance romance, and a second chance romance with a bit of hate to love thrown in? My favourite! 

After meeting Quinn in Lost Rider I was desperate to learn more about her. Growing up with two over protective brothers, no mother and an uncaring father turned her into a tomboy who just wanted her happily ever after. As a teenager Quinn met the boy she wanted to spend her life with, Tatum Montgomery. They planned a future through Rose Tinted glasses and for one reason or another the future never came. 

Tate disappeared. Leaving Quinn with a broken heart she's been nursing and building walls around for 9 long years. 

“If I take a chance—given that there’s even one to take—and let him close to that part of me again, somethin’ I haven’t let any man near since the last time I gave that to Tate, it could end in disaster, Leigh.” “Or . . . it could end in pure magic.” “It could be my destruction,” I debate. “Or it could be your salvation.” My salvation.

Tate makes a sudden appearance backing Quinn's life hoping they can pick up where they left off. But should they? And more importantly can they? Is there teenage love still as strong after 9 years? 

I loved finally getting Quinn's story, I found her hilarious in Lost Rider. She's a little brash, a little insecure and a lot hilarious. Tate was almost Quinn's opposite. He was calm and collected and new what he wanted and exactly how to get it. 

When you learn why Tate left Quinn 9 years ago, you can completely sympathise with him and it makes you love him a little bit more. He's genuine and a nice guy. 

“Quinn, babe, you gave him Bertha’s engine,” she whispers. “You gave him the heart of a vehicle you’ve been painstakingly breathing life back into for longer than any of your other projects. You think I don’t know anythin’ about what you do with those trucks, but I pay attention and I know you wouldn’t have given Bertha’s heart to anyone you wouldn’t trust your own with.”

While I really enjoyed reading Kiss My Boots, I would've loved a little bit more angst and tension. And a little bit of angry sex. Every hate to love story needs a little angry sex and I think it would've added to Kiss My Boots just a little bit more when Quinn and Tate finally see each other again. Quinn was a firecracker and it would've added so much more to her character. Lost Rider had perfect sexual chemistry and tension and it fell a little flat in Kiss My Boots. 

Kiss My Boots was a solid 3.5 star read and still a great second chance story and I really enjoyed going back to Pine Oak and seeing each of the characters again!

This book was hurdles better than the first book. The first book had me cringing with the male overly sharing his emotions...this book while not freaking awesome was good. It had a good storyline and sometimes the writing had me pausing because I had to remember that, yes, in the country - we sometimes drop the 'g' off our words, but all-in-all this was a okay read. I really wish that the author would go back to her Corps Security Series and continue to write what she was absolutely stunning at, but at the same time I realize that all authors go through transition periods.

What I liked about this book...two flawed characters who had weaknesses and knew what they were. They didn't hide the fact that they had them. I like a little spice in books but then it gets OTT and someone needs to take a bath in some ice - I felt that at times and found myself skipping ahead. Quinn struck me as being really hardheaded sometimes and Tates explanation of why he stayed away left me shaking my head because if it were me...well he wouldn't get a second chance. That's why this is fiction and not real life. I did love Tate as a character however. I found him unshakable once he set his mind on something. The one thing that just felt a little rushed was the ending. We have this drawn out couple chapters of him internally talking about "something coming" and then the something coming takes place at 96% and at 97% is the epilogue...it had me scratching my head in confusion. I think that fans of the author will buy the book no matter what and I think this is probably a good series, but for those of us that are die-hard Corps fans....it's a hard switch and pill to swallow.

Will I read the next one? Of course. There hasn't been a book I haven't read, but I'm still holding out hope for a reunion of a different sort in a different series...this is fiction - I can wish!

“Quinn, the hell-raisin’ badass is back, and Tate Montgomery can kiss my boots.”

This series is EVERYTHING!! Kiss My Boots can be read as a standalone but if you want the full Coming Home series ‘s experience, I recommend that you read the Lost Rider.
I fell in love with this series and the Davies’s family when I read the Lost Rider and Kiss My Boots did not disappoint!
I couldn't tear my eyes away from the pages, I was enthralled not only in this second chance story but also in the story of the Davies’s clan. I loved everything about the story, the action, the heat, the trust, the other characters, the emotions, the humour … EVERYTHING! Raw, real and brutally honest, Quinn and Tate's story is about life altering moments, and finding your happily ever after ... it is about taking that leap of faith…

“He taught me trust. He showed me love. Then he gave me pain.”

Nine years ago Tate left after his summer holidays at his grandparents… since the age of 11, his routine was spending his summer with his friend and first LOVE, Quinn Davies. However, after making promises, nine years ago, he stopped coming back, stopped emailing, texting and calling. What happened? Why did he leave Quinn after promising her FOREVER?
Nine years later, Starch is back and he wants to win back his Grease …

“The Ghost of Heartbreak Past apparently is back in Pine Oak. Tatum Montgomery. Jesus Jones.”

Tate and Quinn are PERFECT for each other- they are endearing and honest. I honestly do not know how Harper Sloan does it but once again, she takes you by the hand and walks you through their story as you watch them hurdle obstacles and cry at their heartbreak. I had high expectations because, as I said I loved Lost Rider so much- I knew it was going to be good but it took me by surprise with just how in depth the story goes and just how perfect and swoon-worthy Tate is … and Clay … and Maverick!
Quinn is my favourite female heroine- she is so strong, witty and vulnerable. When she is with Leighton, their relationship makes me smile so much as it is so real and sincere.

“I live in a world where Quinn Davis very much exists, erasing any possibility of any other perfect woman existing for me, ever.”

Thank you Harper Sloan for giving us more about Leighton and Maverick – It was pure bliss.
I was completely sucked in to the very end!!! I FREAKING LOVE this book!!
By the way, BEST EPILOGUE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

“We’re on the cusp of adulthood, old enough to understand our hearts are connected so powerfully, you can almost feel them nestling close together, beating as one.”

Kiss My Boots shows us what love is in a pure, unadulterated way. When we forgive and let bygones be bygones we allow ourselves to find beauty all around us. ~ Heather, White Hot Reads

"I loved him so big and bright that the only future I could see was with me at this side."

I'm pretty sure I fell in love with this book from the very beginning. I don't know that I can find the words except to say, this is probably my favorite Harper Sloan book to date. I'm going to be adding it to my Top Reads of 2017 for sure.

I grew up in small town Texas. I know what it's like to love and leave a town and be responsible to those other than myself. I also know that love is everything -- EVERYTHING. Kiss My Boots is that. It's love, loss, small town and acceptance of life all rolled into one. Once we take a step back and accept the things we can't control and the things that are provided to us, even when we don't understand it, we find love. It's all around us. And this book is the epitome of it.

5 'Kiss my fuckin' boots' Stars!
ARC provided by the publisher via Ink Slinger PR in exchange for an honest review.

Holy hell, this series just keeps getting better and better with every book! I am sure most of you know my love for all things Harper Sloan (her incredibly awesome characters get me every single time!). So, as you can imagine, I am definitely not surprised that I loved her newest release.

Kiss My Boots is the second installment in the Coming Home series and if you have read the first book you know they are about three siblings who had a difficult past and now it's time for them to find their happily ever after. This is Quinn's time and this second chance romance love story is everything I expected and more! Quinn and Tate were in love when they were very young but Tate had to leave and now he is back to get what he loves most: his girl.

He taught me trust.
He showed me love.
Then he gave me pain.

OH MY GOD. The chemistry between these two! I am a sucker for second chance romances and this was not an exception! I always fall in love with Harper's outstanding chracters and let me tell you, Tate and Quinn will steal your heart. They are so funny, hot as hell and they will make you feel all the feels! Their love story is absolutely beautiful and I loved connecting this much with these characters!

“It’s not a lifetime, Quinn. Nothin’ will ever keep me from you. If you love me even a sliver as much as I love you, then a few years apart will just make us stronger. There’s never been anyone else for me, and darlin’, there never will be.”

What I always love about family books is the strong relationship between the characters. The Davis' siblings have the most heart warming connection you can ever imagine. Quinn adores her brothers and they will do absolutely everything to make her feel saved and loved. But, of course, now she also has a hunk of a man to do that. Tate is a fantastic hero, willing to do anything to get Quinn back and boy.. in what ways he gets her back! The chemistry is incredibly hawt and they gave us many panty-melting and also emotional moments.

Words aren’t needed when I lay her down on the bed, worship her body, and show her with every part of my body just how loved she is—as we come together.

Therefore, my rating for Kiss My Boots is 5 STARS because who in the hell complains about a book that made you connect extremely well with the characters and made you feel all the feels with the beautiful relationship it portrays! I love western romances and Quinn and Tate brought me so much happiness with their love story. I can't wait to read Clay's story (it sounds SO good!). Highly recommend this one!

Harper can not only write about bad ass alpha men, she can also write about drop dead gorgeous cowboys! I absolutely adored this book. After finishing the first book in the series, LOST RIDER, I couldn't wait to read Quinn's story.

Quinn fell in love with Tate when she was growing up, but when he left and never contacted her again, she was shattered. Determined to move on, she kept everyone at a distance while trying to live a happy life. She was doing the best she could, but knew she would never be truly happy.

Tate left Quinn in order to protect her, but he never stopped loving her. She was always the one who he was meant to be with and he was determined to prove that to her. When he moves back to town, he will use every arsenal he can to finally claim every piece of her.

If you love second chance love stories, you will adore this one. I could not put it down. Harper does an amazing job of writing characters we can relate to and easily fall in love with. Tate and Quinn's story was truly amazing. There is so much to say and yet, I don't want to say much at all other than make sure to pick up your copy today! I promise you will not be disappointed. Well done Harper! Now, if you could go ahead and release Clay's book I will be one happy woman!

Quinn Davis has never gotten over her first love. So when she hears a familiar name is moving back to town she is fully prepared to hate him and the pain he put her through when he left her... but something about Tate has her quickly realizing he will always be the one for her.

Tate Montgomery didn't want to leave Quinn behind, but extenuating circumstances forced his hand. Now that his life has changed he is finally returning to Pine Oak, Texas, and the one he has always loved.

Can Quinn and Tate revive their young love now that they are older, wiser and more guarded than ever before?

I enjoyed this book, which is the second in the Coming Home Series. Quinn's nickname is Hell Raiser, she runs her family's auto shop and has no problem being a self described Tom Boy... with a girly side. Tate is a Lady Doctor, who has been spending his whole life doing what was best for everyone but himself. 

I loved all of the characters, but most especially Quinn and her BFF with all of their crazy antics and hilarious conversations. I hope we will be getting more books in this sweet and hilarious, small town Texas series. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book foe my honest and unbiased review.

Harper has blown me away by once again writing a jaw droppingly hot lost love. Quinn is a fabulous tomboy. Tate is perfection. I loved their journey back to each other and can't wait to see what happens next!

​As soon as I started reading, I was already liking this book more than the first in the series. I was looking forward to Quinn's story as she was quite a handful in Lost Rider. I quickly became a fan of hers as she supported Leighton. In Kiss My Boots, we get to see a more vulnerable side to her. Yeah, she's still a bit fiesty, especially in the beginning, but you could really tell how much Tate leaving affected her on a deeper level. If anything, Tate is definitely charming. Though I don't completely agree with why he went ghost on Quinn, I can understand to an extent. I feel like he could have found a way to contact her, even if it was brief. There was some drama outside of their relationship. I can't say I agree with when it happened in the story. I feel like it should have come a lot sooner in order to give the book a bit more angst but outside of that I thought Kiss My Boots was written well.

When Harper Sloan releases a book, you one click right away. Then you block out the rest of your day to devour that bad boy. So, get on that quick.

This cowboy series is amazing! Quinn is one badass chick with a take no shit attitude. This is all because one man, he broke her heart and ran away.

Tate ran away with Quinn’s heart 9 years ago, now he is back and wants her back. He will fight for her and help her beat their demons together.

This book had me in tears, giggles, anger, and so many more emotions I cannot add them all here. At times, I wanted to toss my kindle down and just jump on it. Ms. Sloan has it going on with these cowboys!

3.25 stars

I was really on the fence with this book. Kiss My Boots is a second chance romance and the second in Harper Sloan’s Coming Home series (which is about… second chance romances. The name kind of gives it away). I love a good second chance romance and this one starts out promising, but the breathtaking romance part peaked at about the 50% mark and I found myself flipping between being really interested and wanting the book to be over.

What I liked:

• I really liked Quinn. I love that Sloan made her a mechanic and did so in a believable way. Every moment spent at the auto shop was fun, from Quinn working on vehicles she’s named because she feels connected to them to her banter with her employees. I wanted so much to see Homer when he was finished, though I had a pretty clear picture in my head!
• I hate that I missed book one in this series because I loved its heroine, Leigh. More so, Leigh and Quinn’s friendship was the highlight of the book. I want to be best friends with them and I’m totally jealous of the fact that they grew up together and still have so much together and clearly love each other so much. (Leigh’s ongoing talk about Maverick’s beautiful penis had me laughing out loud!)
• Speaking of book one… Maverick and Clay, Quinn’s brothers are back. This family is loving and loyal and I completely loved how much they loved each other (that’s a lot of love!). Sometimes I find that family members of the main characters all kind of run together, one hardly discernable from the other. Not so with Mav and Clay. They stood out individually and even without reading Lost Rider, Mav and Leigh’s book, I easily grasped and empathized with what Maverick had been through.
• The flashbacks to the beginning of Quinn and Tate’s relationship were gripping and filled with that special feeling you only get from first love.

What I didn’t like:

• While I loved the flashbacks, the present day romance between Quinn and Tate fell flat for me. I totally bought them as childhood sweethearts but thought their adult relationship was forced. I felt like I was supposed to be all googly-eyed over them, but only because I was constantly told so. There wasn’t any true conflict for them once we learn why Tate disappeared from Quinn’s life and the easiness with which he’s absolved just took the air of the story.
• I found myself mostly uninterested in Tate. I get that he loved Quinn and he was very romantic as he worked to get her back, but I had no sense of who he really was, again because I was mostly told rather than shown who he was.
• I cringed every time Quinn said “Jesus Jones” or “dadgum”. Jesus Jones was just overused and no one should be saying dadgum. Ever. And, why would a town with only one bar have a need for 2 full-time OB/GYNs? This bugged me the entire book.
Despite all this, I’m interested in reading book one because I found Mav and Leigh so engaging. I think it says a lot about the author that I was on the fence with Kiss My Boots but she was able to spike my interest in Lost Rider with her characterization of the supporting cast.

3.25 stars for Kiss My Boots. Heat level: 3.5

Another perfect romance by Harper Sloan. I first came across this talented author through her Corp Security series and instantly fell in love with her characters. As with all of her books Quinn and Tate were perfect. They were well written, well developed and absolutely heads over heels in love with each other.

While most of Ms. Sloan's books have a suspense theme to it, this one was not that way. Sure there was a little bit of suspense, but not much to dry out the story. This was all around a sweet as heck love story.

The next book can't get here soon enough. I have a feeling Clay is going to break my heart.
