Leather and Lace (Lonesome Point, Texas #1) by Jessie Evans

A Review by Wendy
3.5 Love from the Past and Into the Future Stars 
* * * 1/2

I started to read this series from the middle... I read Saddles and Sins first and then Diamonds and Dust next... not realizing this book, Leather and Lace was the first one. As a credit to Ms. Evans, it didn't matter because the warmth and feel of these books held up no matter which way you read them.

In this book, there is a troubled woman who was raised to be strong, independent and sure of herself always. She had the internal wherewithal to make her decisions and not be one of the crowd. Unfortunately, while going to graduate school in Los Angeles, she fell hard for a man who made her feel as if she was the center of the universe. He also systematically stripped her of her friends, family and anyone who she interacted with... His jealousy and obsession finally went to physical violence snapping her out of the hold he had... she got away only to have him come after her again... She lived through it...is back at home but hasn't healed...she has decided... no men ever....

Spencer comes to town to bid on the restoration of the ghost town. His uncle's company has been the premiere group to do this sort of thing. He is here to bid and hopefully make it happen. He has his own relationship issues with crazed ex's... he is just looking for some breathing room.

They both meet under very unique circumstances... and, of course, sparks fly. The question is can these two have a little fling... a taste of fun and just let it go... it would be good for both of them.

There are other characters introduced and we meet them all... their stories do take place in the other books... In this one, there is chemistry, very hot banter and happenings, a ghost town, curses and HEA.

I have to say I have enjoyed this series and Evans knows how to do the hunky Cowboy thing perfectly... and to add the cherry on the sundae... Every Single Cover is amazing!

I am happy to say this book is Free on Amazon right now and there are more coming be sides the two I mentioned... there are 3 or 4 more!
