Waylynn and Jonathan, best in the series yet!

Such a heart breaking and heart warming story. I absolutely loved this book in the series. Warming is such a strong lead,but we are her not so strong points. Jonathan is the p perfect match for her and knows what's best even if she thinks she knows better. Love revisiting the Parker family.

Blown Away!!! Oh My Goodness!! I am so in Love with this book!! Kelly Elliott has done it again folks! She has given us a story to think about for days to come one that will fill your heart and bring you to your knees! Love Again was a Phenomenal Read! This is the fourth book in the series Cowboys and Angels, I highly recommend you read the full series these books are not stand alone. We get Waylynn's Story and let me just say you better prepare yourself! Waylynn finds herself back home trying to rebuild her life after her divorce. She was never prepared for Jonathon Turner or the way he makes her feel! Can she do it? Can she risk falling in love after a horrible betrayal and to a man six years younger than her? Waylynn and Jonathon were Everything!! I loved how attracted to one another they were and how much Jonathon tested her at every turn. They were sexy and flirty! There are a lot of fears Waylynn and Jonathon have to over come in this book and a twist I never saw coming. I don't even know if you could call it a twist, it's more of a devastating blow! I didn't expect to be hit so emotionally out of no where! My emotions overwhelmed me! One second I was laughing hysterically and then I was screaming and crying and I think I died a little on the inside. Like What The Fruitcake!!! If I had balls this would be the equivalent of them being kicked! Oh did I curse Kelly for what she did to me emotionally! Love Again is so much more than a Love Story, it's a Beautiful journey that will make you believe in love and in hope! That everything happens for a reason, and even though we may not understand why at the moment, Someday everything will make perfect sense . I was consumed by this story from the first chapter! I absolutely Loved it! I wish I could give more than five stars because this book deserves so much more! I received an ARC in Exchange for an honest review.

Instead of the normal love stories this one is a bit different. Shes a bit older than him and how they become a family is not the norm but I'm glad they changed it to something that happens in the real world.
The part where the family has an intervention with her at the restaurant and she broke down, I cried. It hit me hard as it was similar to what I was feeling with the current struggles in my life about having a baby.

This was my first time reading anything by Kelly Elliott and this was a good read. Even though this is the fourth book in the series and I didn’t read the other books, I didn’t feel confused. I felt like I was apart of the crew and was catching up with everyone! WayLynn and Jonathan are attracted to each other but Waylynn doesn’t want to pursue anything due to the fact that she is six years older than him. I really liked that aspect of the story. It’s nice to see an older women and younger man for a change! I have to say I LOVED Waylynn. She was sassy, fierce and had no problem putting someone in their place and defending the ones she loves as well. As the story unfolds I just knew where the plot was headed and I was WRONG! Elliot threw a curveball I didn’t see coming and it had my jaw dropping. The events that unfolded had me tearing up! After reading this book I definitely need to read the other books and I can't wait for “Blind Love’’ and to read more about Tripp and Harley.

***Received an Advanced Readers Copy for a Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review***

Here we are again my comrades! I have devoured yet another book and I am not even the least bit sorry about it. Why did I sign up for this in the first place? Oh simple - did you read the synopsis? Oh man oh man, totes my goats I am excited. Nothing made me more excited than finding out there was a woman attracted to a younger man who happens to be her brothers best friend - whoooo! Bring on the drama, I have popcorn and I am ready to indulge in one of my favorite romance tropes. 

First though, before I dive into my review, I wanted to say a slight disclaimer - especially since this is for a blog tour. This series, Love Again is book four in the Cowboys & Angels series. Though I am sure you could go into it thinking it is a standalone, I highly recommend reading the first three novels prior to indulging in Love Again. I say this simply because when I found out this was an entire series I instantly found myself buying books one, two, and three and let me tell you I devoured them (I am sure you noticed the spam of reviews flooding my blog). I fucking inhaled them like a mad woman. Regardless of their flaws, I really have enjoyed this series. I have appreciation for each character, getting little snippets throughout each book, it honestly added more to the current development. 

So this is your warning now - after you have read this review, and I hope I have given you enough to want to read, buy the entire series and read them in order. I read them all in two days, because honestly Elliott has captivated me with her writing style. She is fun, entertaining, characters are intriguing, and as a reader you will fall in love instantly. 

Red tape, pulled - lets get started.

I was beyond ready for Waylynn's story. After reading her story mentioned throughout the other three novels, I knew I had to find out everything! Waylynn is perfection. She is in her early thirties, divorced, slightly broken and honestly she has a really heart when it comes to the self doubt. It is beyond beautiful, yet sad. I couldn't get enough of her emotions, she is really that woman you see who always has a smile but you know she has emotions that are just bouncing in her head. It wasn't until Jonathon that I think she really realized how to stop the bouncing and really move forward with her life. Jonathon on the other hand is younger, but he wants the same things Waylynn does, honestly he wants her in his life period. He is that sweet, rugged piece of man meat. He definitely never backed down from a fight...

Their chemistry really tugged at my heart in a multitude of ways. Honestly the swooning from the pages and through to the emotionally breaking moments, they were this ride or die kind of love. I also really loved the drama more so in Love Again. I can't say what it is exactly, because honestly that would give away over half the novel, but it literally brought me to tears - it was surreal, believable drama. Then how everything unfolded, the breaking moments, the touching moments - it was beautifully written. I think I loved most was when it hit that climatic moment and then cascaded down in the most believable of scenarios. 

My only iffy factor is that, though I loved the chemistry I also slightly had something nagging at me. Jonathon is Cord Parker (Waylynn's younger brother) best friend, and had been for several years growing up. Though at one point Waylynn admits she never looked or noticed her brothers friends growing up, but I was hoping for a little more additive to their background. I was honestly hoping for Jonathon to have admitted he had a crush on Waylynn growing up, or he always noticed her. Maybe this was the intention that they hadn't noticed one another in a romantic way until they were older, but I was hoping for a little more past history than what I was given...

I know up to this point from the other reviews, I have mentioned the supporting characters. I still love Chloe, she is the most hilariously adorable additive in the series but this go, if I am being honest it was the Parker parents that really stuck to my gut. Especially the father daughter moments with Waylynn. Obviously there was a bit of daddy Parker in all, especially with Amelia since she is the baby, but no, it was really big in Love Again. The moment that Waylynn and her father had these conversations, you just knew the heart felt, tear worthy moments were around the corner. 

Basically I loved this one. Hands down, this is my favorite in the series up to this point. I enjoyed them all in their own aspects, but it was Love Again that really hooked me in the most. I feel the romance was beautifully written - the chemistry and sexual tension down to the tear jerk moments that made you swoon for the stars as the scene unraveled. Waylynn and Jonathon are definitely my favorite.

I keep saying this after every book I read in the Cowboys and Angels Series, but I LOVE THIS SERIES. A little piece of advice: even though each book is based on a different couple you need to read them in order to fully understand the story and connect with the characters. Can I just say how much I enjoyed the age gap in this story?! It's not a big gap and I've read books before where there was a bigger age difference, but anything that suggests a forbidden love story and I'm in LOVE. I'm (im)patiently waiting for the next book!!

Wow.... Love Again just moved to the #1 spot as my favorite book in the Cowboys and Angels series! As always Kelly did not disappoint. This book sucked me in from the very beginning and I kept saying one more chapter until I realized it was the end of the book. Waylynn and Jonathon's story was one about finding yourself again, not caring what people think and learning to love again. So many emotions with this book but in the end it's such a beautiful story about finding love again when you least expect it!

I have been enjoying this series and while I liked this one, I didn't love it as much as I have the other books in this series. I am kind of excited for Tripp's story.
