Cowboys & Kisses
(Teens of Black Falls Texas, #1)
By Sasha Summers
Blurb:
Allie had big plans for the future. Falling for a cowboy wasn't part of it.1. Get out of Black Falls Texas - aka Redneck Hell
(Graduation was eight months away. After that, she was out of there.)
2. Avoid Wyatt Holcomb at all costs.
(Except he was everywhere and kind of hard to ignore since he was hot-and a really nice guy.)
3. Avoid her parents.
(Shouldn't be too hard to do since her father hated her and her mother pretended nothing was wrong.)
4. Stop thinking about Wyatt.
(Which would be a lot easier if he wasn't so sweet... and he'd keep his shirt on.)
5. Decide what she really wants.
(Instead of holding onto the past and the guilt.)

Excerpt
Wyatt was carrying me. I
like this dream…
I’m glad I was sleeping. If I
wasn’t, I’d have to wake up. He’d put me down. I’d have to get pissy with
him—because that’s what I did, acted pissed. Right now, I didn’t want him to
put me down. And I was way too warm and comfortable to get pissy.
The front door opened. We were going inside, up the
stairs…
I burrowed in a little, to breathe against his chest. His really strong,
no-give chest. God, he smells good. Really
really good.
I turned, pressing my cheek against him. His heartbeat picked up…a lot.
And his arms tightened, holding me more surely. Something about that, the way
he was holding me, made my heart thump. Maybe I should admit I was awake?
I heard the floorboard
creak. We were almost to my room. Which was good. So why was I feeling panic?
Because he’ll put me
down and leave…
My hand gripped his shirt front. I needed…wanted to hold on to him, to
keep him here, protecting me, holding me. And for some new and bizarre reason,
I felt sort of…frantic about it. “Allie?” His voice was soft, his breath
stirring the air by my ear.
I didn’t say anything. What was I supposed to say? I’m awake but don’t put me down? You smell really good…and you feel
even better? Yeah, that wouldn’t go over very well.
Or would it? What if he was cool with it? What if he stayed? Did I want
him to stay? I swallowed.
I was being lowered, slowly. I felt the muscles in his chest and arms and
shoulders move against me and felt…breathless and hot and confused and… I’m so in trouble.
My bed was soft beneath my
back, but before his arms slipped out from under me I opened my eyes.
My Review: 4 1/2 stars
This was different from my usual reading
material. A lot more tame. The story was just as good, however. I really enjoyed getting to know
Allie, and learning all the different things that made her unique. She was
going through a really hard time, and I completely get why she was a bitch at
the beginning of the book. If my best friend had died, I thought it was my
fault, and had to move to a tiny town where I knew absolutely no one, I’d be a
bitch too. Meeting Wyatt her first day there was a surprise. Allie fought so
hard not to have any feelings for him one way or the other. Wyatt was such a
good young man. He worked hard, he did what he needed to in order to get by,
and he had other things that he dealt with alone until about 75-80% of the way
through the book. No matter how hard Allie tried though, she just couldn’t stay
away from Wyatt. It’s a really good, story about love, loss, family and
friends. Sasha did a fantastic job with this. I even liked Levi by the end of this book.
Sasha is part gypsy. Her passions have always been storytelling, Hollywood, history, and travel. It’s no surprise that her books include a little of each. Her first play, ‘Greek Gods and Goddesses’ was written for her Girl Scout troupe. She’s been writing ever since. She loves getting lost in the worlds and characters she creates; even if she frequently forgets to run the dishwasher or wash socks when she’s doing so. Luckily, her four brilliant children and hero-inspiring hubby are super understanding and supportive.
