Chaps and Chance by Jessie Evans
4.0
My favorite thing about the Lonesome Point Texas series, and Jessie Evan's writing period, is that she doesn't dwell on a backstory for her characters. She's doesn't spend chapter after chapter telling how each character got to the point they are currently but somehow she still manages to keep readers up to speed. Which is probably helpful to those who might read this series out of order. She also is great at speeding up the rate at which the hero and heroine fall in love without making it seem like insta-love.
Cole and Layla have a history but were never actually a couple but I still consider this a second chance romance because the feelings were always there. As teenagers they never acted on their feelings for each other and Layla fell in love with Wayne instead. Meanwhile, Cole never stopped thinking about her and when she suddenly becomes available he won't miss out on his chance to be with her once and for all.
Cole is sexy, sweet and knows all the right things to say and do to help Layla move on from her terrible past. He'll do anything to protect her and to make her his but Layla's ex-husband has other plans. Ugh...Wayne. I hated him for everything he did to Layla and for not letting her go but I admit that when Jessie gave us his point of view, I almost felt sorry for him. I'm kind of disgusted that I felt an ounce of pity for him but I guess that's the sign of a great writer, when she can make you feel good things for someone so awful.
This book wasn't just a romance, it was full of mystery and suspense and left me with a lot of questions that will most likely be answered in the next book, which of course, I can't wait to read!!!
If you like hot, hard-working and sweet good old, country boys with dirty mouths and huge hearts then this series is a must read!!
