Stacey Kennedy is one of my automatic buy authors, so I was excited when I heard about Kinky Spurs. I thought Emma and Shep's book was a good start to the new series.

Poor Emma was dealt several blows at once and decided to stay at her Grams house in River Rock, Colorado until she was ready to head back to New York City. She takes a part time job at the town bar Kinky Spurs and that is where she first lays eyes on the tall, broad, well-built cowboy. She wants nothing to do with a man right now, especially after what her jerk of an ex just put her through, so why does she feel so drawn to this cowboy.

Shep is still feeling of the loss of this father and trying to save his fathers company, so he heads to Kinky Spurs. He doesn't know why Emma responds to his touch the way she does, but thinks that she is just the distraction that he needs. What starts out as sex only, quickly turns to more when they started sharing more time together getting to know each other.

I liked Emma and Shep's story and the beginning of this new series, but I can't wait to get the 2nd book in this series. It will be Chase and Harper's story and I can't wait to get my hands on Chase.

Dirty-Talking Cowboy by Stacey Kennedy is a western type contemporary romance. Ms. Kennedy has delivered a well-written book. Emma's fling with her boss ends in a bad way and she moves from New York to River Rock, Colorado into her grandmother's house. Shep owns his own business and is dealing with his father's death and his ranching business. Emma and Shep's story is packed with amazing, lovable characters, drama, humor and lots and lots of smokin' hot sex. I enjoyed reading Dirty-Talking Cowboy and look forward to reading more from Stacey Kennedy in the future. 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.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Dirty Talking Cowboy is a fun read. Emma has left a high powered job in New York after a year long relationship between her and the CEO of the company, he wanted to keep it secret as he didn't think there should be relationships between employees. When their relationship is discovered and he doesn't support her, Emma walks out of the company and goes to live at her deceased grandmothers farm for abused animals.
She has a job behind the bar of the Kinky Spurs here she meets hot cowboy Shep where heat sizzles between them both. So the dirty talking and hot sex begins, as Emma starts putting her heartbreak behind her she becomes close to Shep and as the relationship develops and has to make the choice between him and her old life.
An enjoyable read but on a personal note I couldn't get my head around the name 'Shep' I just kept thinking it was a name more suitable for a dog!
My thanks to net galley and publisher for opportunity to review this book honestly.

So part of this book follows a rather familiar pattern about a eastern city girl moving out west and trying to settle in to a small western town. The other part is about the sexy romance developing between Emma and Shep, the titular dirty-talking cowboy.

The first part of the story is about the magnetic attraction between the two of them. After putting up a bit of a delay, Emma starts having lots of explosive sex with Shep. He’s the perfect guy - sexy, nice, protective,sexy, competent, and centered. He knows right away that she’s going to be special to him and the way he wins her over is by roping her in a lasso demonstration at the bar in front of a crowd. That’s enough for her to fall for him and for them to have lots of sex.

Then the story evolves into being about Emma’s adapting to her new life on her grandmother’s rescue farm for injured animals. She’s been hurt by her former boyfriend and has decided to stay on the farm that her grandmother left her while working at the cowboy bar, The Kinky Spurs. Shep is just perfect as he helps her out and is patient and understanding. And did I mention that they also have lots of hot sex? So the novel lives up to its title.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

Dirty-Talking Cowboy is the first book in the sexy and exciting new series, Kinky Spurs. Told from dual points of view, Dirty-Talking Cowboy follows the story of Shep and Emma. Recovering from a recent heartbreak and loss of a beloved family member, Emma finds herself back in Colorado. She's got enough on her plate with her waitressing job and the farm that she's inherited. The last thing she needs is another man in her life. But, when she meets Shep, he is just the man to push all of her boundaries and break all of her rules...Shep's got enough going on in his life, that the last thing he should be thinking about is adding a woman to the mix. However, the moment Shep sets his eyes on Emma, he knows he'll never be able to walk away. There's just something about this woman that calls to his every instinct. He has to have her. Will Shep make Emma take a chance on love and forget her broken heart? There's only one way to find out...

Overall, I really liked this book. I fell in love with Shep and Emma instantly. I loved their chemistry and couldn't get enough of Shep's dirty mouth. I mean, this guy could melt your clothes right off by just using words. He was intense and sexy as can be. He promises Emma naughty adventures and passion like she's never experienced. How is a woman to say no to that? She can't. Shep is impossible for Emma to ignore. These two burn up the pages like none another and have you flipping quickly through the pages to see how their story would play out. Not only does Shep and Emma have amazing sexual chemistry, but their banter is pretty great too. Shep is determined and caring and hard working. He isn't afraid to go after what he wants and doesn't take no for an answer. He brings Emma back to life and shows her just how good love can be and why it's worth taking a chance on..

I think Dirty-Talking Cowboy is a great start to this series. It certainly checked off all my boxes and had me glued to the pages. I can't wait to see where this story is going to go next!

Sexy cowboy romance will have readers flipping pages for the next steamy scene.

Stacey Kennedy is a new to me author and I can tell that she a has big fan base. Sadly, this book did not work for me at all. I was really put off by the writing. I would have thought this was a first attempt at writing a book rather than someone with several titles on her backlist. Again, other seem to love this author so I would try a sample of this book as the issue may be my own.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
