Blurb:

On the run from her ex-lover, jilted by a no-show husband and now mistaken for a whore in the Diamond Back saloon, Abigail Thornton doesn’t think things can get any worse. That is until a single slap to a man’s face starts a barroom brawl that lands her in the last place she expected to be.

Town Marshal Morgan Avery wants nothing more than to wash away the trail-dust and sleep for a week, preferably with a soft, willing woman by his side. Instead, he gets Abigail Thornton – all one hundred pounds of her thrust at him seconds before a fist connects with his face. Breaking up the fight takes more effort than he wants to admit and when the last man falls he finds Abigail still standing and not looking the least bit contrite.

Throwing her into the town jail for the night would salve his wounded pride and then he will let her go. Or that was the plan. When morning comes he finds himself oddly reluctant to do so. Miss Thornton is hiding something and he aims to find out what, even if he has to bed her to do so. But will one night in her bed be enough?

Synopsis by Goodreads

 

His past has haunted him for a lifetime…but one woman could be his salvation Gunslinger Caden Miller's compadres are becoming a bit too domesticated for his liking. So he's off to Kansas territory to carve out a living and a space of his own—alone, just the way he likes it.

Maddie O'Hare has been drawn to Caden ever since she escaped to the Hell's Eight compound from the brothel where she was born and raised. And she's not ready to let him go so easily…until she's captured by his new neighbors.

When Caden discovers that Maddie is being held by a rival at a nearby ranch, his plan to rescue her backfires, and he finds himself the groom in what's literally a shotgun wedding. As shocked as Caden is by the bizarre turn of events, Maddie's grateful kiss holds a fiery promise that's far more unexpected. But with old enemies catching up with him, Caden and Maddie will face a danger that tests their passion—and will either bind them together forever or break them apart for good.

 

Huge fan of Sarah McCarty Hells Eight Series especially Caine and Sam stories. Sarah McCarty is the queen at writing amazing Western Romance with yummy alpha male heroes. For me though the last two (Shadow’s Stand #5 and Caden’s Vow #6) were likeable reads but nothing really caught my attention where I could not put the novel down. They are very easy to put down and pick back up.

Caden I was very wishy washy about him. One moment I liked him and the next he bugged me. What I liked about, is when he would show is alpha male attitude. Loved it, but very predictable with the flow of the story. What bugged me is his alpha attitude came in spurts and I really wanted him to say more to Maddie when ever she referred herself to being a whore. I wanted him to get upset and show more of his feelings with her. Caden has serious comment issues, leaves when ever he gets comfortable, because of his past with his dad. I did at times feel his pain. Now there were times when he was a sweetheart and loved him for that.

Maddie was not liking so much in the beginning. She was seriously off her rocker. I really did not start liking her till she was on her own when Caden left her to go do his mining. This is when I really started understanding her. Being brought up in a whore house she was never loved. When she was saved and brought to Hell’s Eight Caden in her eyes was the one she felt cared for her. But he leaves her and she feels like anybody she cares for leaves her. When he left again and promise he was coming back broke my heart. I was happy to see her not crazy, but a strong will woman who is determined to make it on her own in a town where she knows nobody because she honestly does not believe he is coming back for her.

Caden and Maddie have some yummy hot scenes together but the steaminess as in have to Fan-my-self is missing like in some of Sarah McCarty earlier novels. I felt since they were not always together through out the story I was not always feeling them as a yummy couple.

I enjoyed Ace the secondary character. Loved the scenes with him and Caden. Loved the friendship they have and his character never took away from the story just added so much more to it. He was a hoot to read about.

Love the Hell’s Eight series by Sara McCarty and look forward to see if Ace is next in line. I really want to see what woman will have his stomach in knots.

When Grace Kingston accepts a wedding proposal through a mail-order bride agency and travels across country to be married, she has no idea her bridegroom is a fourteen-year-old boy. There’s no way she can accept his offer but with depleted funds, and winter coming on, Grace has little choice but to stay. Things go from bad to worse when she meets Jesse’s older brother, Rafe. The attraction is immediate. He’s surly, rude and downright pig-headed but he makes her pulse race with a single glance.

Rafe Samuels thought to teach his brother a lesson by making him take responsibility for his rash behavior but one look at Grace and his plans go up in smoke. She isn’t the dowdy spinster he imagined and having her live in his house and not be able to have her is the worst kind of torment. But putting her out of his mind is impossible. As winter drags on, Grace finds that living with the two brothers is more burden than pleasure. Jesse still thinks marriage is in the cards, and Rafe is a devilishly handsome distraction she doesn’t need. She can’t decide if he hates her or wants to kiss her. How can she avoid breaking Jess’s heart when it becomes clear that the attraction between her and Rafe is mutual?

His Brother's Wife is a full-length, stand-alone novel that takes place (in) Willow Creek.

Review:

I bought and loved The Lawman (Willow Creek series #1) by Lily Graison. Too my surprise, I was beyond excited when asked if I would like to review the rest of The Willow Creek Series. Lily sweetie you made my day! After reading The Lawman which was my first read by Lily Graison, I fell in love with her writing voice and she has become one on my favorite new authors.

While I was reading The Outlaw I kept thinking to myself why is Sarah the Heroine even thinking about naughty things about Colt when he is a leader of bad guys robbing her Daddy’s bank. Well he has a little secret and had everything planned out with his bank heist until a feisty and stubborn Sarah decides to stop him with a shotgun.

The Outlaw starts off with a bang and never lets up. Sarah is a strong will woman who will do what ever it takes to stop the bank robbers even pull out a shotgun, shoot and not meaning to miss Colt the leader. Colt fell head over heals with Sarah from their first meeting with her trying to shoot him. Oh my the back and forth with Colt and Sarah right from the beginning had me smiling and giggling. And it just gets better and better through out the novel. I loved how he would call her sweetheart and it annoyed the heck out of her. Colt, baby you can call be sweetheart any day.

Colt is arrogant and does get what he always wants. He makes it very clear he wants Sarah. But Sarah does not make it easy for him. His twin brother Holden’s wife died and left him with his daughter. He saw how heartbroken Holden was after his wife’s death and never wants to go through with that. So he is perfectly fine with bedding woman. That is until he meets Sarah. She has him thinking of things he never would of thought, like her being his wife and pregnant with his child.

Their chemistry is hot right from the start. Oh my goodness the sexual tension is out of this world. I loved the lake and the barn scene with the haystack. Four words Sarah say’s “Oh my sweet heavens” Yes that about sums it up for the barn scene.

　

Colt’s father James has been sick for some time, does not talk much and doctors do not know what is wrong with him. My heart was sad while Colt was talking to his dad about his trip. He was going on and on like he is having a normal conversation but it is a one way conversation. Through out the book you see the feisty side of Sarah until towards the end then you start seeing a sweet and loving side especially with James.

　

I enjoy reading when the Avery brothers are together. They all have their own voice. Holden has definitely caught my attention and look forward to his story. But will have to wait because Tristan is next. Do not know what Tristan is like, but if he is an Avery then he has got to be a yummy hero as all the Avery brothers are turning out to be. I was extremely happy that I got to see more of Morgan and Abigail. I love how Lily Graison heroes in the Willow Creek series all have sexy names Morgan, Colt, Holden and Tristan.

Thank you Lily Graison for giving me the opportunity to read and the boost I needed to up The Willow Creek series on my TBR List. I love the world you built in the western times that I could not resist and had to buy Tempt Me Not (Wicked Series #1) to see how you do in contemporary romance.

The Outlaw can be stand alone but highly recommend just reading the series from the beginning with The Lawman. You will enjoy and appreciate Morgan, Abigail and Holden more. If you are like me and loved reading The Lawman what are you waiting for The Outlaw is just as good. My only down fall was that this is one of those books you will want to devour all in a few days, but for me, I have been working out, just so tired I was only able to read a little at a time.

Sexy Snippet:

Lifting his head, he looked down at her. “Has anyone ever touched you like this before?” He parted her, his fingers burrowing inside her flesh to find the small bundle of nerves that seemed to control all those throbbing pulses. Sarah gasped as tingles raced through her limbs. He lowered his head again, kissing the valley between her breasts, moving lower to pepper small, playful bites and kisses on her belly, her hip. When she felt him kiss her very close to where his hand was, her eyes widened and she lifted her head to look down at him.

   

 He lifted her leg, threw it over his shoulder and Sarah was shocked when he buried his face between her legs. She cried out, grabbed his head and tried to push him away. “Colt! What are you…” His tongue lapped at her moist center and her eyes rolled, her head slamming back to the ground. “Oh my sweet heavens.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Loved Colt and Sarah story. "Oh my sweet heavens" is right! Read it again and picture this in your head as they are laying in a huge haystack in the barn.  I will have my review up Wednesday.

Review:

Lily Graison is an amazing storyteller. Her writing is amazing and the characters are fun that they jump off the pages. Not many authors can put a good plot and chemistry with the hero and heroine in a short story. There is always something missing or the sex is too long, not enough back story ect. Not In The Lawman, Lily Graison nailed it with the first in her Willow Creek series.
　
I loved Morgan and Abigail. They were sexy and fun. Never a dull moment with them. Morgan is your delicious sheriff who seems to always lock up Abigail in jail for something. Loved their bickering and then the sweet moments. The first time they meet is exciting and crazy.

Lily Graison is a new author for me that I will definitely be checking out her other series. I look forward to reading more about the rest of the sexy Avery brothers. Highly Recommend The Lawman.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why:

I know I already had Morgan has my Secretly Crushing On.., but Morgan is so friggin' yummy I had to do it again.

I am a sucker for a hero  who nibbles or bites the heroine lips while or after kissing:

She tried to turn but he pulled away, her bottom lip caught between his teeth for a brief second before he let go of her.

Dazed, she watched him turn and walk out of the room.....

Morgan can suck my lip any day:

Warmed up yet?" he asked.

Abigail raised an eyebrow. "Warmed up?"

He grinned, leaned down and sucked her bottom lip into his mouth. "Mmhumm... I haven't even begun to love you yet, Miss Thornton."

He is a Wicked Lover:

He took her breast again, his mouth closing over her nipple and sucking as he continued to push inside of her. She was half delirious and shaking by the time she felt the tingles start racing in laps down her legs and her stomach clenched. "Morgan..." The smile on his face when she whispered his name was one of pride and determination. The pace of his thrusts grew faster, the force behind them almost bruising and Abigail was thrown into a maelstorm that caused a scream to burst forth and ring in her ears as lights sparked off behind her closed eyelids.

This series is not to be missed. Love Lily Graison and The Willow Creek Series. She has a great writing voice and her characters jump off the pages. I look forward to reading more books in this series and can not wait to dive into her series.

I am so excited That Lawman will be the first e-book giveaway (your choice from Amazon or Barnes & Noble) in my September ~ Studs In Stetsons~ Giveaway, courtesy of Wickedly Delicious.  The Lawman E-book giveaway starts 9/3 and ends at midnight on 9/9. Review coming soon.

Love Morgan in The Lawman.  He is funny, sweet and sexy.  This is my first read by Lily Graison and will not be my last. I can not wait to read about his brothers.  Highly recommend this series for Western Romance fans, even if you not into Western Romance I still recommend because she has a way of sucking you right into the story. Fun plots that you can't turn your pages fast enough. Her characters jump off the pages.

He is yummy

She tried to turn but he pulled away, her bottom lip caught between his teeth for a brief second before he let go of her.

Wicked Cover: Promises Reveal

Promises Reveal (Promises Series #4)

Goodreads

Blurb:

He’s a man who survives by his wits and lives by his own code.  Along the way he’s left a trail of broken hearts, broken bones, and quite a few broken laws. But when he gives his heart to the right woman, it comes with a promise he’ll never, ever break……

Dedicated artist Evie Washington doesn’t fancy herself the marrying kind. But the moment she admitted that her faceless portrait of a naked man was modeled on the devilishly handsome Reverend Swanson, the whole town assumed her innocence had been ruined. Now her family’s determined to save her reputation—even if it means taking away her hard-won freedom.

It's Brad “Shadow” Swanson's preacher status that's a pose—to avoid the law . Now he's been convicted of the one crime he didn’t commit. And if he doesn’t step up and marry Evie, he’ll have to admit his true identity and replace his collar with a noose. Of course, a life sentence in the spirited beauty’s bed wouldn’t exactly be torture—and it just might be the key to making an honest man out of him…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Thoughts:

This is the sexiest cover in the Promises series. I love a good Western Romance with cover that is not cheesy.  Love Shadow he is dominate, with his sexy Alpha attitude and can be possessive at times.
