Chaps and Chance by Jessie Evans

5.0

Jessie Evans has this way of making words flow from the page and into your heart. They just taste good. Delicious and heartwarming. Chaps and Chance is the newest addition to the Lonesome Point, TX series and hot damn is it great! Cole is Bubba's brother and Layla is the girl he always has a crush on. We've met them before and I'm so happy that they got their story. There was always something about Cole that was intriguing. Now I know what it was. He's hot, sexy, silly, dirty and did I say hot? He still has feelings for Layla and he's not going to miss out on another opportunity to let her know. Layla is trying to recover from leaving her abusive husband, but she can't seem to stay away from Cole. Something about his body and soul call out to her. She's done being afraid and she wants Cole, so she's going to have him. Cole is more than willing, but when tragedy hits too close to home, Cole is torn between going after what he wants or possibly losing Layla forever. This book has everything: love, heat, angst, sadness, humor, grief, and suspense. Let's not forget the hot sex and the shocker moment! I'm already impatient for John story! I’ll take a double scoop of rainbow sprinkles now.

The way he filled out a tee shirt and jeans was borderline obscene, showcasing more muscles than one make body should be allowed to possess.

"And if you stay with me, I can show you all the fun things I've learned since we were kids."
"I think I already know a little about that." Heat crept into her cool blue gaze, making his pulse leap.
"I was talking about my culinary skills," Cole said, his voice husky. "But I'd love to show you more of the other, too."

"Rainbow sprinkles," she sighed, catching her breath as she floated back to earth.
"Curse word I haven't head of?" Cole asked, "or my new nickname?"
"Both."

This kiss was a drink of water in the desert, a hand up out of the quicksand. This kiss was a promise that, even though the world was full of darkness, he would always find light in this woman's arms.
