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.

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!

4 Stars

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.

I didnt enjoy this book it was too wordy for that reason we did not post a review on our blog as our blog is about books we recommend.

Quinn and Tate are wonderful! I love everything about this book. As I read this book I found myself smiling and loving everything about this book! A must read!

Pure Perfection. This book. This series. These characters. The Love. The Friendship. Everything is perfection. I am literally about to start crying because these books have deeply touched my heart. I don't know how Harper Sloan does it, but her words are magical. She makes her readers FEEL EVERYTHING. In fact, they are so good that readers are going to feel like they are within the story themselves. How many authors can do this to their readers? Not many. But Harper Sloan does.

If you have read the first book in the series (Lost Rider; http://amzn.to/2u1SkEv) then you will have met Quinn in it. She is Maverick's sister and best friend to Leighton. If not, that's okay too because this book CAN standalone (although I strongly suggest reading Lost Rider first because the characters are interconnected and you'll have a better understanding of the entire story line).

Anyway, Quinn is sassy. She is bad-ass, she knows it, and she is not afraid to let her mouth shoot off anything that comes to mind. She is also pure country, a hellion, and one of the most sweetest characters I have every come across. She has a good heart and loves deep. Unfortunately, 9 years ago she became heartbroken when the one man she loved upped and left without a word. And since then, she hasn't fallen in love. So just imagine how she feels when THE man that broke her heart suddenly comes back into town... And has every intention of winning her heart back...

Tate Montgomery is the man who left a world of pain in Quinns wake. He left without a word and hasn't returned until now. But he has a reason for leaving, one that he hopes will make Quinn understand. So with everything he has in him, he tries to win him back. It isn't going to be easy by any means though. Quinn is a spitfire and truly hurt. But one look in his eyes and her body turns to jelly.

How they get to their HEA is up to readers to find out! But I will say that Tate is a charmer. He's a kind and loving characters and swept me off my feet. He's also the new gyno in town, which makes the story a lot more fun!

With that, I very HIGHLY recommend this book. It's a must read and another true favorite of mine for the year. I can't wait to read Clay's story (I need it now)!!!! You can preorder your copy today on amazon as it is releasing soon!!! >> http://amzn.to/2tBnHop

This is fun and flirty, low angst second chance book. I am absolutely in love with this Davis clan. They’ve been through so much but in the end nothing is more important than family. And who wouldn’t want Mav and Clay as big brothers. They’re protective, caring and supportive.

Harper hit the mark when she wrote these sexy cowboys. Tatum Montgomery is something else. My heart broke for what he had to give up protecting his heart. But then fate stepped in and gave him that second chance he needed. That man had me swooning.

Then there’s spunky Quinn Davis. That girl is exactly what her given nickname is, badass-hell raiser. She’s coming into her own. Facing her past, letting go and moving on. And who better to help her then Tate.

Together these two are finding their way back to each other.

The story was fluffy with little drama. It was a sweet and sexy romance. I loved these characters. They were real. They made you laugh and just put a damn smile on your face.

I look forward to the brooding Clay. I can’t wait to see what woman knocks him on his ass.

Saddle up for Harper Sloan's new Coming Home series, because we are going to be in for a bumpy ride.

This is the second book in the Coming Home series, and is the David girl Quinn's story.
I adore Quinn. I love that she isn't all girly girly, she is a mechanic and car restorer, more comfy under a car than meeting people in a bar.
Tate Montgomery is the one that got away - well, the one that went away and never came back - and the one Quinn holds all other men up to.

I liked that this was pretty much angst and drama free. Yeah, there were things from the past that needed to be sorted out, but nothing OTT or too ridiculous.

One thing that did irritate me - Quinn and her "kiss my boots". She sounded like a five year old stomping her feet and chucking a hissy fit, and she said it all the time - but this might just be me.

I loved getting back to Pine Oak and the characters of the town. I loved seeing where Mav and Leighton were up to, and now need to know that Clay finally meets his match and gets his HEA.

"Jesus Jones Tate and Quinn!!! lol

Yaaasssss...Kiss My Boots is Tate and Quinn's book!!! OMG I just loved it. If you read Lost Rider, book one, you will remember Quinn. She was Leigh's sassy as hell and such a smart ass BFF and Maverick's little sister. I was really excited that Quinn would get her own book!!! Woohoo It didn't disappoint.. Sooo good!!! Quinn is just as funny as shit as she was in book one and really since its all about her now...it's such a knee slapper...lmao

Anyway, a boy Quinn use to lust over when she was younger, happens to come back to town 9 years later. Of course he is all grown up, has a job as a Gynecologist and he came back to Texas to take over his fathers OBGYN practice after his dad passed away. I sit here and giggle at some of the shenanigans that happen at that practice. Bahahahaha You will just love it!!
Well Quinn is pretty pissed off at first when Tate comes back around. He broke her heart all those years ago when he just up and left. So Tate now has to show her he is back and he is ready to settle down, maybe pick up where they left off all those years ago. But Tate sure has a lot to prove cuz you know when a woman is scorned, it's hard to break through those thick..thick walls!

I gave this book 5 iScream Books Stars. Make sure you pick it up and find out how Tate wins Quinn back!! : )

I love the title - Kiss My Boots and the cover is just 'Jesus Jones' gorgeous! This second chance romance has some unique edge to story that I have not seen before which I loved! I enjoyed how Quinn (Female lead) is a Mechanic and Tate (Male Lead) a Doctor - you have to read the book to find out exactly what kind of medical practice is his specialty... This is the second book in the series based in rural town Pine Oak, but my first book to read by the author. I find it fine reading this book first and being able to understand the characters from Book 1.

This book had me laughing out loud several times throughout the story! I loved reading about the small town and that Quinn is a serious badass working in a male dominated field! At times in the story though, I felt disconnected and the country slang a bit much as I did grown up in the rural midwest. A couple of the plot twits were a tad out of reach. But all in all if you are looking for a cowboy, country second chance romance Don't let Quinn Tell you to Kiss My Boots!

My 4.5 star review is posted on Goodreads. It will be posted on blog and social media upon release and links will be updated below at that time.

4.5 stars
This is the second of this series focusing on Pine Oak, Texas with the theme of coming home. This time Tate Montgomery is coming back to take over the farm and medical practice of his grandfather. He used to spend his summers there, and fell in love with Quinn Davis. Their love blossomed from friendship to more and they thought they would have forever. But the last time he left at the end of summer, he did not return.

Nine years have now passed. Quinn is a feisty, stubborn, tomboy mechanic running her own family's business. She is also guarded, lonely, and has abandonment issues. Her family history left its own set of scars on her and Tate left her broken-hearted. So she does not do relationships. She is surrounded now by her two older and protective brothers, Maverick and Clay. When she catches wind that Tate is returning, she is overwhelmed, anxious, and angry. She is mad at him for disappearing and leaving her, and angry at herself for still having a reaction to him and caring.

Tate had his reasons for not coming back and losing touch, but he never forgot Quinn. He lived a different life in the city and did what he needed to do, but did not really get involved. He has secrets and confessions that he wants to share. But first he is going to have to get the hell-raiser Quinn to settle down and give him a chance to explain and a chance to win back her trust and heart. And Quinn has to decide if she is going to cowgirl up, forgive him, and give him a second chance.

Much Like Maverick and Leighton from Lost Rider, they are two people who just fit together and have not really felt whole since being apart. But there is a lot of hurt and fear still lurking. She needs Tate to be willing to fight for her this time. They will have to get to know each other all over again and make new memories to accompany the old ones. They are two people who have just been living in survival mode and need to learn to truly feel and live again. But they also have to learn to trust and forgive, and fight for what they want and need.

This is a story of hope, forgiveness, healing, and true love that was challenged by time, distance, and opposition. It is funny, sweet, passionate, and emotional, but not too angsty. Both Quinn and Tate are likable and well developed. It is told in mostly Quinn's point of view, with some in Tate's and there are also flashbacks. It flowed easy and it was fun returning to this town. I loved Tate's devotion and protectiveness, and Quinn is as strong as she is sassy. But she does have some demons to overcome. The side characters of Maverick, Leighton, and Clay are all back as well as some of the other townies. I love the relationship between Quinn and her brothers and her best friend, Leighton. They all have been through so much but are there for each other. Their family truly does make their home. I am looking forward to seeing Clay find his own love in Cowboy Up.

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

Absolutely love Grease and Starch!

I'm really liking this series, but what's not to like. Cowboys throwing darlings around does a lot to the female organs... just saying.

Quinn is a wonderful character. She's funny, smart and strong. She's loved the same boy since she was eleven. He was her first crush, first kiss her first everything. They spent every summer together but when he left that last summer never to return her heart broke.

When Tate left Quinn that last summer he had every intention of returning. But he didn't. He never forgot her or allowed anyone else in his heart. Nine years have passed and finally he is going back for her and what belongs to him. Will she forgive him and let him back in?

These characters are wonderful! I especially love Quinn, she definitely has a way with words and you can't help but fall in love with them both. Their story is a second chance and it's absolutely beautiful. As always Harper has a way of telling you a story that will have you begging for more. And I am.... begging for more!

The emotional intensity in KISS MY BOOTS is deeply affecting because of the genuineness conveyed in every scene. I felt anxious during serious situations when outcomes were uncertain, while laughter was uncontrollable because of countless conversations filled with quick-witted banter. Harper Sloan managed to keep me fully engrossed while reading the second book in the Coming Home series, as her characters are described so well that they actually feel like they are truly real.

Since her father owned an auto shop that specialized in custom work, Quinn Davis became fascinated with cars at an early age. She has taken over the business and really enjoys her days at the garage, and though she has plenty of interaction with men, she has not dated in a long time. The reason for her disinterest is because of the way her relationship with Tate Montgomery ended. While he only came to stay with his grandparents during the summer months, Quinn thought what was between them could survive when he went away one more time. Sadly, it did not.

When she first hears the man who broke her heart is coming back to Pine Oak, Texas to live, she cannot keep the long-buried memories from being dredged up again. There was a huge reason Tate never returned to the one place where he felt at home, and he hopes Quinn will eventually forgive him. But getting the feisty woman to change her mind about him will take some clever scheming.

With plenty of honest emotions and fiery passionate encounters, KISS MY BOOTS captivates during every believable set of circumstances. From the very start, feelings are expressed with candid openness, and the truth behind any sentiment was easily sensed because of the author’s skillful writing. Harper Sloan has certainly written a winning novel, as I came to strongly care about the welfare of the main characters. Tate proved over and over again that he is someone worthy of being loved, and why he never came back to Pine Oak is cleverly conceived in order to give him another opportunity with Quinn. While she was terribly hurt when he left her never to return and is still suffering, I was very glad she gave him the chance to explain at some point and not drag out their differences for the whole story as some books seem to do. Though trust does need to be built as Tate and Quinn come to know one another again, their desire is even more potent than before. Their love scenes are definitely steamy, and their lusty craving adds plenty of enthusiastic creativity.

There are so many wonderful characters in the Coming Home series, from Tate and Quinn to friends and relatives. I experienced the many ups and downs in their lives, and I also came to know these individuals on a very personal level as new details became known. There were a huge number of moments where amusement was present, as comments would come across as hilarious while actions could be comical, too. I will definitely be recalling some of the more humorous incidents, because they are just too original to forget. It was great catching up with Maverick and Leigh from the first book, and I cannot wait until Clay’s book is released.

I voluntarily reviewed the book from the publisher via NetGalley, and all comments are my honest opinion
