**Received ARC from NetGalley for a fair and honest review**
Dirty-Talking Cowboy is the first book in the Kinky Spurs series and is Emma Monroe and Shep Blackshaw's story. I rate this book at 4.5 stars!! This was a fantastic start to this new series. I really enjoyed the storyline, the characters, and the secondary characters and had a hard time putting this book down. This is a fast, fun, read with just the right amount of hot/steaminess.
Emma Monroe has been living her dream in New York City. She has a job she loves, is close with her family and has a great relationship, only problem he's the CEO of the company she works for and it has to remain on the down-low. When Emma comes to tell Jake about the death of her grandmother, she overhears a conversation that makes her leave New York City and head to River Rock Colorado to clear her head and figure out what to do with her grandmothers beloved rescue farm.
Shep Blackshaw is successful, runs a successful wilderness survival company and exactly where he wants to be in life, then tragedy strikes and things change for him, he just won't know how much at the time (sorry not leaving any spoilers). When Shep is at Kinky Spurs he see's Emma and he wants her, but she shoots him down. Then Shep is out riding his horse and see's her being dragged by a horse and rescues her and steps in to be her knight in shining armor.
The first book really does a job job of laying out the storyline for the series. I really enjoyed Emma and Shep together, loved their chemistry. If you like hot and steamy this book is for you. Shep is the strong, alpha male, but not overboard, but caring and Emma is emotional, feminine and somewhat strong. The secondary characters in the book were great and I can't wait for their stories. Hope this helps! Happy Reading!!!

This is my first time reading a book by this author. I had love Emma and Shep story. Emma is trying to keep up the farm that was inherited to her by her grandmother. Shep had meet Emma as she was a bartender at a bar and try to get her then but she turns him down. When Emma had an accident on the farm, Shep had taken care of her, and they had become friends and then lovers. I had like how Shep had protected Emma when she didn’t want him to. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good cowboy romance.

Kinky Spurs is the local hotspot in River Rock, Colorado. It's Thursday night and the fun game is Rope 'Em Up. The ladies volunteer to go on stage and get roped plus have their wrists tied. The first couple done wins. Newcomer Emma Monroe, working part-time as a waitress there, is talked into participating by her boss. Haha! Little does she know that it's a setup. Cowboy Shep Blackshaw is attracted to Emma, very attracted. She won't give him the time of day despite her attraction to him. She is recovering from a broken heart. Shep is matched with Emma and ropes his little filly in for a win. Those ropes make shivers run down Emma's spine and she just melts.

Shep Blackshaw is not only dominant and very sexy, but also very loving and caring. He is a fixer. He also doesn't accept defeat - what he wants he gets. And he wants Emma! Emma Monroe is a strong, sexy woman, just a little broken right after her recent heart break. She leaves all that behind in New York City to take over her deceased grandmother's farm for abused animals. Watch out for Bentley.

This is a hot and sexy story with a number of strong emotional scenes. Shep helps Emma out of her dark place. They find that they are good for each other. Although there are zigs and zags along their path they work hard to find their HEA. I really enjoyed this book. Author Stacey Kennedy wowed me with this one!

I give this book 5 stars. The storyline between Shep and Emma was well written. They met when she started working at Spurs, a bar in a little town. Emma and Shep were both trying to over come there grief. They both lost a family member. I whole heartedly recommend this book. I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

I really enjoyed this book. The tension between the characters was excellent. The comedy relief with the brothers was well written and I liked the bar, farms and New York as backdrop. The story was interesting from start to finish.

Sexy and sweet Romance. Gotta love a story that has a dirty talking cowboy who knows how to rope his women in and seduce them thoroughly. Can’t wait for the next one in this series to come out.
Thanks NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

Spectacular start to a sexy smart new series!

Stacey Kennedy has shown me time and time again what a wonderfully talented author she is. Her plots are well thought out and move seamlessly, her characters are strong confident men and woman whose realistic dialogue and sexual chemistry burns up the page. "Dirty Talking Cowboy" the first in the Kinky Spurs series is all this and more. Emma is a woman we'd all like to be cause frankly she has Shep. He is seriously one of the best heroes I've come across in a long long time. Sexy, smart, loyal, tender, all that and more. Seriously you need Shep in your life, even if it's just for the time it takes to see him and Emma fall in love.
I can hardly wait to read the next book in the series "Sweet-Talking" to see if brother Chase takes after his big brother.
I received an advance reader copy from Netgalley.

I stopped reading at around 15% because of some issues with the writing style. Based on that 15%, it seems to be a cowboy erotic romance with insta-lust. I would have been on board with that premise, if not for sentence structure and odd exposition-as-dialogue choices. If I have to read a sentence three times to figure out what the author is telling me, I'm going to be pulled out of the story... and not in a good way.

The author also did something that I loathe, but that I know isn't a turn-off for a lot of people: an "it-was-all-just-a-dream" sequence. The second scene in the book is a big sex scene with a) no leadup and b) no contraception... but then the heroine wakes up to find that she'd been being dragged around by a horse. I gave it another 20 pages after that, just to confirm that the hero was an okay guy, but I couldn't get past the awkward writing. Could be a totally different experience for another reader.

A copy of this book was provided by the publisher for review purposes via NetGalley.

Now she’s inherited a farm full of abused animals and she’s working as a waitress at the local hotspot, Kinky Spurs. The last thing Emma wants in her life is a man, as she’s still recovering from a recent heartbreak. But when a sensual and powerful cowboy, Shep Blackshaw enters her life, Emma begins to want things she shouldn't.When I started reading I couldn't put it down I read the book in one day.Stacey Kennedy is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book. it

Dirty talking cowboy is the first in a new series series, Kinky Spurs by Stacey Kennedy. Everyone that knows me knows that I have a thing for cowboys. Stacey Kennedy is a new to me author so when I saw that her new series featured one very hot cowboy, I decided this was the perfect time to get to know this author and my oh my am I glad I did.

I'm such a sucker for cowboy stories. I enjoyed this a lot. She created likable characters, interesting back stories, and the plot kept me interested. The writing had a level of maturity that I appreciated, too. There were no "bad" characters, just bad decisions. And, wow. These sex scenes would have made Anais Nin blush.

Very smexy read that goes from cold to hawt in the blink of an eye! DTC is all about Emma Monroe and Shep Blackshaw but there are family and town meddlers galore. Pay attention to Emma’s behavior around the animals on her grandmother’s farm as it will really give you insight into her character. Now that she is a “city” girl, she sometimes forgets how early farm life can be – as the animals sometimes remind her. Shep steps in to help her get into a groove with the farm and he starts to forget his own problems. They make a great couple, after learning to trust in themselves and each other, and did I mention the book is hawt??? Some intensity to the story as well that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Good read for an afternoon. I received a free, advance copy of this book from the publisher. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Dirty Talking Cowboy by Stacey Kennedy is book 1 in her Kinky Spurs series. This book is the story of Emma and Shep who have off the charts hot chemistry. This book makes good on the title of a Dirty Talking Cowboy. It is a really enjoyable sexy read. I highly recommend this book.

Emma has returned to the ranch her grandmother left her when she died. It's a ranch for abused animals. Emma is also working at a bar part time to make money. Shep lives in the next ranch over from Emma and, they are both strongly attracted to each other. When Emma attempts to ride an abused horse, she is thrown and dragged until Shep sees her and manages to get to her and get her to the hospital. Shep decides that Emma is the one for him and starts attempting anything that will get Emma to see him for who he is and what he wants. Emma, on the other hand, has just gotten out of a relationship that left her self esteem level at zero.
The love story between these two is profound and, one that every woman would love! It's an uphill battle for both but, one that is well worth the wait!

Dirty-Talking Cowboy is full of sexy times. The chemistry between Shep and Emma was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed reading their story.

I received an arc from Netgalley. The story of Shep and Emma is one of finding the way back to trusting again. Emma who flees to her Grandmas farm after a breakup works with an abused and skittish horse. Meeting Shep helps Emma heal and learn to trust again. Beautiful story.
Looking forward to Chase and Harpers story.

Dirty-Talking Cowboy is first book in the new series Kinky Spurs by Stacey Kennedy.
You will not be disappointed! Seriously hot cowboy: Check, Kinky: Check.
Emma Monroe comes back to River Rock to take over her grams farm and try to get her shattered heart mended. She's looking to take care of the abused animals and figure out her next steps. Definitely not looking for the sexy as sin cowboy who makes her weak in the knees and tingly in her girly parts. But he's too hot to ignore when he comes into the bar, Kinky Spurs, where she's working.
Shep Blackshaw is finally seeing his business take off and is looking to continue to grow. With the unexpected death of his father the entire family is left to deal with difficult decisions. Now is not the best time to focus on the sexy bartender, yet the pull is undeniable. When a freak accident throws them together Shep will take any in to get closer to Emma and find a way to make her soar.

4 1/2 Star Review.....

A new erotic romance series, with Cowboys, and written by Stacey Kennedy……Hell yeah, all my prayers have just been answered! And yes, if you know Ms Kennedy's work, this is one seriously HOT book! When I saw this latest title on NetGalley and the title and author, I was so on board. Cowboys have recently become one of my favourite genres; tall, broad, brooding, loyal, and sexy as all get out, there’s simply nothing not to love.

So what do you get? Well Ms Kennedy’s brand new series introduces readers to the three Blackshaw brothers; Shep, Chase and Nash, after the loss of their father. All are sexy as hell, with very different personalities and each have their own unique background story; but this book belongs to Shep (the eldest son). Shep is every romantic’s dream; a man totally focused on his woman, loyal and devoted to a fault, and determined to convince one wary female that second chances are worth taking a risk on.

This book has a great plot, well-developed characters, emotional baggage, family drama, and two people from polar opposite backgrounds, who must learn to trust again to bury their demons, before they can move forward with life. There's conflict, angst, mixed feelings and heartache, but when the dust settles, true love just might prevail.

I absolutely loved this story and can’t wait for the coming stories about Chase and Nash. Thank you NetGalley for approving my request to read this advanced copy.

Woooo Hoooo Dirty-Talking Cowboy by Stacey Kennedy, definitely lives up to its name and we get one hot, dirty-Talking cowboy!!

We will say that the first part of this book was a bit bumpy... it seemed like it went back and forth, had some errors, and just didn't flow as well as the rest of the book. But once we got into the story and got past some of the other issues, we really enjoyed the story!
