Emma works at the Kinky Spurs bar where they add kinky games to the venue on Friday and Saturday nights. Shep is a handsome rancher who finds her irresistible and they quickly begin a relationship with a bit of BDSM thrown in. Not a lot of plot but if you like a quick romance read you'll enjoy this.

So dang hot and so dang good!

You know you’re in for a fabulous read when the first few pages break you into a sweat. This book is everything it promises and then some.

Even though your life is in shambles and everything’s all up in the air is there a question of what you should be doing or where you should be? That’s what poor Emma is trying to figure out.

I love this book. Not only is it a heart pounding, pulse racing, fan your face experience, but it is fun, lighthearted, and a fabulous part of a new contemporary romance series that’s not to be missed.

The delicate balance of the right amount of heat and passion, the expert detail and creation of her characters, and the understanding of what makes a beautiful story flow perfectly is evident in this book.

Dirty-Talking Cowboy is a Delicious experience that you need in your life. And Shep? Let's just say, Oh My! He can light me up anytime!

Now Ms. Kennedy, how long will it be till we get to the other brothers??? Tick Tock.........

RATING 4.5 STARS

Dirty-Talking Cowboy is book one in the new 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.

“Come to Kinky Spurs, where cowboys wrangle women’s hearts…and rope their bodies!”

Emma Monroe loved her life in New York as an Executive Creative Director for a prestigious firm. She had been in a relationship with the CEO, Jake, for a year but they kept it secret, until word got out and Jake broke her heart. At the same time, Emma just got word of her beloved Grams death in River Rock, Colorado. Gram owned a small farm where she took in and cared for abused animals. It was always Emma’s place where she went for renewal, for recharging. Now, her Grams has left the farm to her. With a broken heart and spirit, Emma escapes to the farm to try to decide what to do with her life now.

This life couldn’t be any more different than what her life was in New York. Different but not in a bad way. Will she sell the farm and go back to the life she knew? Could she really adjust to life in the country? To stay busy, she takes a part time job as a bartender at Kinky Spurs. That’s how she first saw him, the sexiest cowboy she has ever seen. When he walked in, it’s all she could do to tear her eyes away from him. After that he has kept coming in pretty regularly but she has to be strong. She does not need a man further complicating her life, even if it’s only for one night.

Shep Blackshaw has just lost his father, the owner and CEO of the huge company, Blackshaw Cattle Company. Shep has his own business, Blackshaw Survival, a wilderness survival training company. He is not interested in getting involved in his father’s business but when he finds out that Blackshaw Cattle is in financial difficulties, he has some important decisions to make.

When he walked in to Kinky Spurs and saw the new bartender, he was transfixed. She was all he could think about. You could practically hear the sizzle between them whenever he got close to her. But it was obvious she was as scared as a new born colt. This woman had been hurt.

When a bar roping game pairs Shep and Emma, the sparks fly and Shep knows he has to have this woman. More importantly, he wants to earn her trust, he wants to get to know her. Shep is a fixer, when he sees someone that needs something, he takes care of it. He has so much on his shoulders right now. Should he really be taking on this woman? But he can’t resist her.

“No matter how much bad there is in the world, there is always light, and a warm place that’s home.”

When a broken and abused horse is brought to Emma’s farm, the horse becomes an inspiration for Emma. If the horse won’t give up, maybe she won’t either. Maybe there is hope for the both of them?

“This woman had him caught up. He wanted more from her, and if she’d stop being so scared, she’d see they were already on their way to something amazing.”

I loved this book. Shep was a dirty talking, take control, sexy as sin cowboy with a heart of gold. He fell fast for Emma but he knew he had to be careful not to rush her. Emma and Shep together burned up the pages. Or rather, melted the entire e-reader! I also fell in love with Shep’s two brothers and Mom. I will admit that I am hooked. There is no way I’m not going to continue with this series. The next book is Sweet-Loving Cowboy and is Shep’s brother Chase’s story and you can most definitely count on me reading it!

While I am a fan of this author, the start to this new series fell short for me because the storyline is nothing new. Emma flees from her life to her late grandmother's house and immediately meets Shep. In my opinion, the story is too rushed for the characters to be deeply developed and it is just too predictable and not credible. Just so so for me.

This was the first Stacey Kennedy book I've read and I'll definitely be back for more. I loved the story and the characters were well developed.

I liked this book even if I didn't like so much Shep, too bad because he is the hero, but Emma is lovely and I love her so much that I kept on reading mostly because of her. Still wondering about the other two brothers on the series....

Questo libro mi é piaciuto anche se Shep come personaggio principale, lasciava parecchio a desiderare, fortuna che Emma é adorabile ed é la ragione per cui ho continuato a leggere il libro. Questo peró mi lascia da pensare rispetto ai prossimi due fratelli e libri che proseguono la serie...

THANKS TO NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

From prologue to epilogue, Dirty Talking Cowboy, is extremely hot and sensual. It set the series up perfectly. I can't wait for the next book to come out so I can see what happens next.

(I received an invitation to review this book from the publisher through NetGalley.)

Dirty-Talking Cowboy was my first Stacey Kennedy read

Emma and Shep's story is packed with lovable characters, drama, humour and lots smoking' hot sex. Dirty-Talking Cowboy is book 1 of the Kinky Spurs Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger

If you are a big fan of Kristen Ashley's Chaos series, you will love this book. I am not a big fan of the "super" alpha male characters, but Stacey Kennedy is a good quality writer. I know several people who will love this book, and I did recommend this book to them.

Wonderful, cowboy erotic romance. Readers will devour this book in one sitting. I felt there was more than just sex scenes, even seeming like it was too short of book. Characters had true issues as well as falling in love quickly. Usually I have a hard time with love gushing after two days, but somehow the author made this all work. This romance has it all and can't wait for the brothers' stories.

Stacey Kennedy’s Dirty Talking Cowboy, the first book in the new Kinky Spurs series, is the first book I have read by this author. Unfortunately, it will also be the last. After reading the description, I was really looking forward to a juicy cowboy romance. This book didn’t do it for me. The story line started out promising but fell flat pretty quickly. The author lost me when Emma and Shep had sex hours after Emma had been thrown from a horse and dragged, knocking her unconscious and landing her in the hospital. Shouldn’t she have been in two much pain for them to fall right into bed? She could barely move. How could she enjoy having a man’s body lying on top of her? Makes no sense.. I can only suspend realty so much. I got about a third of the way through the book but did not finish it.

Wow! I wish I could give this more then a 5 *. This is well written. You can feel the sparks and power between Emma and Shep. I absolutely loved the person Shep was. A lot of emotions going on in this story and I felt every one of them.

I enjoyed a lot about this book. Emma and Shep made a cute couple. I loved how their relationship began, with the game at the bar followed by him rescuing her from a horse, to learning about her through her morphine-induced speech. However, from that point on, though I didn't dislike the story, something was missing for me. There was plenty going on - taking care of the animals, saving businesses, deciding between 2 lifestyles, etc. - but it still seemed a bit slow to me. I also enjoyed many of the secondary characters and the closeness shared by the family and friends. Additionally, there was some witty banter, some sweetness, and a bit of steam. That is why I can't exactly put my finger on what more I needed that would have made this a better read for me.

Overall, I enjoyed it enough to recommend someone give it a try. I actually really enjoyed the relationship among the brothers, so I will read the other books in the series to see how their happily-ever-afters play out.

I love a kinky cowboys and thought Stacey Kennedy did a great job bringing Shep to life. Shep and Emma started out lovers. Their connection was explosive but you could feel their was something more.
Over the next few weeks these two become more. They included the other in important family sessions and respected the other person . Their passion and commitment towards the other continued to grow.
Being that this is the first book in a new series, we are introduced to the other characters for the next books.
Based on the last few chapters and a chapter for the next book, this is a series you don't want to miss.

A hot and sexy cowboy read. I love Dirty-Talking Cowboy. Shep sure lives up to a dirty talking kinky cowboy. I love how he is with his brothers Nash and Chase. Recovering the loss of their father is no easy feet when they find that he was hiding something from them. It takes a former city lover Emma to turn Shep's world upside down and brings life back into the Blackshaw's. Emma even though is at a turning point in her life when she inherits her grandma's farm grows a lot through out this quick read. I love how Shep and Emma burn up the sheets. Heck I wouldn't mind being roped by that sexy cowboy myself. This is a wonderful quick sexy read that will keep you turning the pages and fanning yourself.

I tried this cowboy romance out. I gave it a shot. I wanted to love it, but sadly I didn't. The story was kind of weird. I thought the whole things didn't work. It all felt odd to me. There felt like there was 100 plot lines going on and nothing seemed to follow through.

A big thank you to NetGalley and St Martin 's Press/Swerve for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I found this to be a cute story! Emma and Shep are a cute couple, with humor and an instant connection. I don't get the title, but ok. Emma on drugs (hospital kind) was hilarious. There is a lot of sex. I think this is part of a series but it reads as a stand alone. I give it a 4. I think most romance readers will enjoy. This is not a western romance.

Dirty-Talking Cowboy was my first Stacey Kennedy read, but it certainly won't be my last. This was a great start to the new Kinky Spurs series.

Emma Monroe is dealing with heartbreak from every direction. Her grandmother has passed away and the man she thought she was going to spend the rest of her life with broke her heart. When Emma learns that her grandmother left her house and the animals on the farm to her, she goes there feel close to her grandmother again, to get away from things in New York and to figure out where her life goes next.

Shep Blackshaw not only has his own business to run, but he finds himself trying to save the business that his father started so many years ago from foreclosure. While he doesn't want to give up on the dreams that both he and his brothers, Chase and Nash, have, he also doesn't want to lose his father's business either.

While out one night at Kinky Spurs, Shep meets Emma and they are immediately drawn to one another. They decide to keep their relationship physical, but will they be able to keep emotions out of it? And if they don't, will Emma eventually feel pulled back to her previous life in New York?

This was a fun read with really likable characters. I enjoyed the part that the animals played in the story as well. I'm very intrigued to see what happens with Nash and Chase as this series progresses as well!

Holy Hannah, that was hawt!

The sparks start the moment Emma and Shep enter the same room, and they never go away. While Emma is trying to figure out her life after losing everything she had worked for, Shep is there. She tries to resist, but that just isn't happening, they are too electric together

Shep has been burned before and knows what he wants, and it's Emma. She is the full package for him, and he needs to know that. He does everything he can, but it is all up to her. The emotional connection they have is just as strong as the sexual attraction, but can she trust him enough?

Shep is putting it all on the line, and Emma needs to trust her instincts, because it won't be an easy journey, but the ending is so worth the ride!

This book is all about second chances and figuring out how to find happiness when the things go south. Both Emma and Shep think that the road they traveled have dealt them a bad hand but it is not until they come together that they find their way. The emotional storyline locked me in from the opening pages and it was a joy to read. I look forward to more in this series.
