Lora Leigh

Veronica Chadwick

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh and Veronica Chadwick comes Strong, Silent Cowboy, the second chance at love bodyguard romance--part of the Moving Violations series...

Strong, Silent Cowboy

Strong Silent Cowboy is the second book in the "Moving Violations" series and this is the first time that I have read this companion author but you can definitely feel the Lora Leigh influence in this book, she definitely has a A typical style that many readers will recognize. I absolutely adored this book. It starts out so SLOW though, so keep that in mind. Which is why I would recommend this in audio. Or just keep being patient with this one here. Its definitely worth it as the second half of the story is epically beautiful and so intense. But Keep in mind that if you don't like much steam in your book, to skip over Lora Leigh....she does a LOT of sex scenes lol But the good news is that she makes up for it and really builds that emotional connection in those steamy scenes. I really was intrigued by the plot. In the beginning of the story you can sense that there is so much more going on, but the pieces to the puzzle slowly start to come into place. Now there is a ton of miscommunication especially from the heroine. The hero has suffered some portion of amnesia, so much of what happens is on her. I didn't truly understand her reasoning for not communicating very well with him. Yes she is in danger, but its because of him lol and yes he doesn't remember her but she isn't curious why? And doesn't want to reveal it all to him? And I was so proud of her step father. I loved him so much because he was willing to share the truth even though she was taking her sweet time and there were some things I don't think she would have shared that our hero definitely needed to know. 

Overall I found this story to be beyond fascinating and I had such a solid time with it. It kept me on edge and even though I felt like the steam was a bit too much at times, I still had a great time and eager to read the rest of the series.

What a fitting tribute to the late author Veronica Chadwick. I loved this series from the first book, who doesn't love a hunky cowboy, but the series always contained so much heart, and this continues strongly in the 2nd book.

Sallie has been fleeing from an unknown assailant for years now. Her step-father finally sent her to a small town to hide out amongst cowboys. She made an impact on Jacob Donovan on her arrival but she has always been "frosty" towards him although perfectly pleasant. That may have something to do with the torrid weekend they shared years ago which he has conveniently blanked from his mind! But instead of confronting him, Sallie just lays low and tries her best to fade into the crowd.

Jake obviously never got the memo cos the last thing he wants is Sallie to fade. He is haunted by dreams of a faceless woman who ties his emotions in knots. He thought he was only missing mission deails from his head injury but what else could be missing? When danger comes for Sallie again, there is no way Jake is letting her run. She is his to protect, he just has to get to that!

Ex-CIA agent, naive diplomats daughter, hot steamy nights, a mission gone wrong, and miscommunication - they all mix into a wonderfully full, addictive, and heartbreaking story. Great cameos from gun-toting grannies, alpha male cowboys, and special agent veterans.

I truly hope this series continues and there are so many other characters worthy of books. Fabulous read!

Strong, Silent Cowboy
