Strong, Silent Cowboy

WARNING... This book is for MATURE readers only! In true Lora Leigh fashion this book is SCORCHING HOT! Combining her prowess with Victoria Chadwick they have delivered an absolutely riveting, deliciously erotic storyline that will hook you right away! Yet another wonderful book to add to my ever growing collection! I received an advanced reader copy of this work from netgalley and all opinions expressed are my own. Regards, Anna

I thought that this was a great book!

This book had everything for me, it had action, suspense, romance and feelings - I have read a lot of books by this author and she is one of my favourites but this has to be the best I have read to date!

It was extremely well written and completely addictive, the characters were simply fantastic, it was a very hard book to put down - so I didn't and I started and finished it in on the same day!

It is 5 stars from me for this one, a brilliant story - I LOVED it!!

I absolutely loved the suspense in this book. The authors did an amazing job with this book. I loved the characters and the story so much I didn't want the book to end. Excellent read.

Strong, Silent Cowboy is a magnificent romantic suspense by Lora Leigh and Veronica Chadwick. Team Leigh/Chadwick has provided readers with a well-written book and furnished it with a spectacular cast of characters. Sallie was on the run and hiding in Deer Haven. When she meets Jacob she's stunned that he doesn't recognize her and he has a different name from three years ago, but then, so does she. Jacob and Sallie's story is packed with drama, humor, smokin' hot sexy bits, action and suspense. I loved every page of this book and look forward to reading more from Lora Leigh in the future. Strong, Silent Cowboy is book 2 of the Moving Violations 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.

A man suddenly meets a woman; who is on the run. She seems somehow familiar to him; yet she´s not.
A kaleidoscope of lost memories gnaws at his subconscious.
Driven by a recurring dream about an unknown woman, a picture gradually comes together.
Suddenly the unknown woman from his dreams gets the face of this woman.
His woman.
And suddenly the past catches up with him and a race for life and death begins.

"Strong, silent Cowboy" is an action packed love story and a true page turner.
The sex scenes are hot, very detailed and yet tastefully written.
I loved this book so much that I'd like to read more of Deer Haven's sexy alpha males.

Woot! Very smexy, hawt read! The intrigue starts at page one and had my heart beating fast for most of the book. Sallie Hamblen is what I’d call lost…there’s so much going on with her, and in her past, and I don’t want to give any spoilers. She doesn’t trust easily – nor should she – and then she runs smack, dab into that past…

Jacob Donovan is a former CIA agent who has a ranch. The ranch connection is important as that is how he pops up on Sallie’s radar. Read the book; Ms. Leigh and Ms. Chadwick do a MUCH better job of weaving this intrigue and story than I ever could. Each chapter peeled back another tiny bit of layer of the story and kept me reading straight thru.

It is a VERY sexy story, what I’d expect from these authors, but it is also a big part of Strong, Silent Cowboy. Really enjoyed this read.

To get straight to the point...I LOVED this book. The first chapter had me hooked and it just got better and better.
I enjoyed the intrigue, though at times it gave me shivers. The sexy times were just that, SEXY.
Tears will be shed, swooning will happen.
Some unanswered parts of the intrigue left me wanting more.
Overall, a definite 5 star read

Steamy sex and suspense make for a page turning book that burns up the pages. Jacob keeps to heat turned up 100%

Right from the very beginning my heart was already invested in Sallie’s story. My heart just broke for her when she realizes that Jacob does not remember her after three days of the most memorable nights of her life and then three years going by with her basically trying to stay away from him. Jacob has noticed her around after their “first” introduction 3 years before, there is something about her that he recognizes but could not quite grasp from where. Now they are in the same bar and Jacob decides he is done waiting around. The pull of Jacob was too strong for Sallie and is engaged in another explosive night.

As the story moves along, we learn so much more about Sallie. She is actually on the run and has been trying to keep a low profile. Jacob also has a story that explains why Sallie seems so familiar to him but can’t seem to remember. When all is revealed and danger surrounds Sallie, Jacob is determined to keep her safe and never letting her go.

There are so many twists and turns and secrets everywhere! Sallie and Jacob’s story definitely kept me on my toes. Like in many of Lora Leigh’s books the chemistry between the characters are off the charts, the steam factor is definitely high. I only had the problem with the ending, there is a HEA but I felt like it ended too abruptly.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for giving me the opportunity to read this complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

Strong, Silent Cowboy by Lora Leigh and Veronica Chadwick, published by St. Martin's Press, is book two in their Moving Vio. Series. Every book can easily be read as a stand-alone. The previous book is One Touch Cowboy.
This is Jacob Donovan and Sallie Hamblen's story.
Jake is a rancher and he loves his life. Sallie is a Secret Service Agent and surprised to find her former three days guy under another name at the small town of Deer Haven.
A great read, well written, entertaining. I loved the story, the writing and the characters, 4,5 stars.

The author has done it once again! I was enthralled in Jacob and Sallie's story. It had intrigue, miscommunication, spies and passion. So much passion! This is going on my reread shelf.

Loved this book! I stayed up way too late reading it, as I just couldn't put it down. The story is compelling, with a well crafted back story woven into it.
If you enjoy a sexy and demanding cowboy, you will love this book. Put this one at the top of your TBR list. The author is on my must read authors' list.

Hawt read... Wow... Authors are known for their scorching reads but really love the alpha male in this book... Jacob. Wowsa!

What did I like? This book from the first chapter just sucked me in... Kyra meets the hot man she spent a weekend burning sheets with and he doesn’t remember her. What? So obviously book starts with that elephant in the room feeling but then they start throwing off sparks... I’m grabbing popcorn just waiting for flames. Kyra and Jacob were a phenomenal couple!

Would I buy or recommend! YES! Scorching read and fantastic authors. Throw your support behind this book by grabbing a copy! Four huge stars.

I received a ARC to read and voluntarily left an opinion! Hawt book

I loved this story! It was an incredible page turner, with suspense, romance, HOT love scenes, heartbreaking emotions and characters you really cared about. Roger and Sallie ‘s lives both held tragedy and secrets. Both stubborn, both protective, they wasted years eyeing each other. He was intrigued and confused by his gut reaction to an apparent stranger. She was running for her life and was broken, frightened, thinking he had just walked away from her. When they finally start to reconnect I wanted to cheer out loud! Definitely a must read.

Lora Leigh has always written some hot and steamy books and this one is no different.

Jacob and Sallie are drawn to each other like moths to a flame. She knows why and he doesn’t. That is part of the mystery trying to figure out why he can’t remember Sallie from their past. I’ll give you a little spoiler - he has a valid reason.

Sallie was definitely wise and mature for her age. I kept forgetting that she is only 24 in this book. Which is amazing, so many times our heroines are written to act younger and totally immature.

Jacob was everything I love; hot, over protective, extremely possessive, bossy, ex CIA and a Cowboy to boot. There is really no better mix (well maybe a biker).

So we have two great main characters in this hot little cowboy book and now you are probably wondering why this book was only 4 stars and not 5 for me? Well we all know how I feel about epilogues and endings right? This one just ended. Like I kept pushing on my kindle to turn to the epilogue and it wasn’t working. I almost called kindle support because there was no way it was just over. Was it a happily every after? Yes it was. But there was no sprinkles, no bow (which was definitely needed for a few loose ends in my opinion), no 5 minutes of reading in their future happily every after. Guys, you can’t do that to me. I NEED CLOSURE, like seriously!

All in all this was a solid smut-tastic read. I would definitely recommend picking it up if you are looking for your next hot romance to indulge in.

Strong, Silent Cowboy

This was the first book I have read from this Author. I was drawn in from the very beginning. So much suspense, I could not put the book (kindle) down. I was on the edge of my seat Sallie was on the run from who and why the story unfolded and then a lost love enters and wow, so much action was packed into this book and I love Cowboys and love the HEA.

Wow. I was grabbed from the first pages, my heart was wrenched around and twisted, and then I had to wait for all of Sallie’s/Kyra’s secrets to come out, right alongside Jacob’s. She’s terrified and broken-hearted, he’s drawn to the woman no one seems to be able to nail down, and then the trouble starts. We’re taken on a ride full of revealed secrets, mystery upon mystery, and the ultimate heartbreak for Sallie before all is said and done. Jacob just has to keep her alive through it all, while he makes her realize how deeply he loves her and how unwilling he is to ever let her go again.

I couldn’t put this book down and can’t wait to see what comes next. I really hope it’s Justice getting his takedown by a certain woman with less than stellar aim when hurling frying pans...

OMG the steamy and romance. Strong, Silent Cowboy was exactly what I needed. I needed to fall into a suspenseful dramatic love story that kept me turning pages. This was my first book in this series and you'd better believe that I immediately put the first book on hold at the library and am keeping my fingers crossed for books on those Culpepper brothers!

Thanks to St Martins for letting me read and review.
