OH MY GOD!!!! I thought I loved the first book in the series but I LLLLOOOOVVEEE (yes shouting) Chase and Harper in Sweet-Loving Cowboy! Yes I love a book that has instant chemistry and HOT HOT sex but what I really love is the connection and the love that you feel Chase has for Harper right away. I love that he went to her brother first to be open and honest in his intent to see her. I love that she was there for him when he was having a bad day (inspection day). I enjoy the side characters like all the brothers and the friends and his mom. Houdini was adorable!!! This is definitely a book on my re-read list!!!! I'd give it 100 stars if I could. Bring me more cowboys!

Sweet loving indeed! Chase has to be the most noble of the 3 brothers who were taught right is right. Then comes Harper the one woman he shouldn't want to test those limits. 8 days to make memories to hold on to and let her go... can they? Or will she make the decision to stay and be with the family she built. Chase has two choices at the end of the time, be the man he has always been or become the man they both need and finally take what he wants!

Steamy Hot Romantic Book!

I voluntarily received a ARC for an honest review.

First time reading from Kennedy and really enjoyed it! The romance between the two characters was really steamy and I loved it.

My first read by Ms. Kennedy -- thoroughly enjoyed this book! Harper and Chase are super likable characters with LOTS of chemistry.

Harper is a woman with a big dream. Chase is a man just starting to make his dream come true. Can their dreams mix together to make a happily ever after!

The writing is solid. The story moves quickly, but not rushed. I love all of the ancillary characters and look forward to reading more from this series.

Houdini might be my favorite extra! The perfect sweet addition to Chase and Harper's adventure.

Enjoy this fun cowboy read!

I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review...

This is the second book in series, and loved it as much as the first.

Harper and Chase’s story is so realistic and relatable. Hopes and dreams in life often have to be changed as we grow. It is very easy to get lost in this story and root for them to make it work.

Please read and enjoy as much as I did.

This is Harper and Chase book, Harper is a aspiring chef and eventually wants to open her own restaurant and works at the local bar kinky spurs, Chase runs his family construction company and is Harper brother best friend. They both definitely like each other but harper brother asks Chase to let Harper go so she can find her dream of being a chef and he thinks she can do that by going to las Vegas so Chase steps aside! But before s h e leaves he wants to have a week of no strings hookups! Which were definitely hot hot hot!! I also read the first book in this series and this one's the same they are good books but not my favorite! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

Chase and Harper have known each other all of their lives. To Chase, Harper was always his best friend’s pesty little sister until she returned home from culinary school a grown woman. They were instantly attracted to one another, but Chase had sworn not to touch Harper, and she only planned to be home temporarily. Despite all of Harper’s efforts, it took her months to convince Chase to give in to their attraction. He agreed about a week before she planned to move to Vegas to begin a mentorship with a renowned chef. Sometimes the best laid plans are meant to change and that happened here. This was a fun, quick read, and a nice follow-up to the previous book in the series. I’m looking forward to seeing how the remaining Blackshaw brother finds love in the next book.

ARC received for review

Chase is just as yummy as his brother. We all know a week was going to never be enough even though that week was HAWT! He was willing to let Harper go follow her dreams. She was willing to stay and fight for both of them.

Can't wait for the third brother to fall for his enemy...and you know he is.

SWEET-LOVING COWBOY by Stacey Kennedy is another amazing story in the Kinky Spurs Series. I'm really enjoying this series. The characters and storylines are warm and original. I can't wait for the next book!

Really enjoyed this book, loved Chase's story and happy at how everything worked out between him & Harper! Looking forward to Nash's book!

For some time now Chase Blackshaw has wanted more than friendship with Harper McKinney, but he has kept that little secret tucked away, because of a promise he made to her brother a few years ago. His best friend noticed his interest in her and warned him off, asking him to give her time to follow her dreams of being a chef, which he did, and it took her away to culinary school for a while. But now she has returned home and has started working at a local bar, and Chase is itching to finally make her his... but once again her brother throws up another roadblock to keep them apart. And as much as he wants to be with her, he can't help but want to do right by his friend too. So they continue to circle around one another, both knowing there is a connection there, and both knowing it could land them in a heap of trouble. Just when Chase decides it might be time to clue her in to his true feelings for her, she gets handed a opportunity of a lifetime in Vegas, which means she will be leaving him all over again...

Sweet-Loving Cowboy has the perfect blend of everything needed for a great toe-curling romance story, it's emotional, erotic, with a touch of sweet! I thoroughly enjoyed my time with these two, their forbidden romance generated lots of angst and feels, my heart was on overdrive throughout the pages, one minute it was feeling the love, and the next it was feeling the squeeze of torment. This beautifully crafted story line pulled me right in, and had me never wanting to say goodbye to these wonderful characters, they were SO good for my heart! I highly recommend this series, these Blackshaw brothers should not be missed, their stories bring some serious heat and heart!!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, via NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a little slow to get going but after about a quarter of the way through I was absorbed in the book and really did not want to put it down. Chase and Harper both have their dreams and also things in their way. They both want each other and have for awhile, but they stayed away. Now with only a week until Harper leaves for Vegas they think they can have a friends with benefits relationship and then let go when the time comes. YEAH right! We all know that is kind of a disaster waiting to happen. They are explosive together and there is no way this will end the way they expect. Throw in a cute labrador pup they rescue and ... awwww... they find their family. There is an HEA, but the journey there and them discovering what they really want and overcoming crap in their way make for an awesome read.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

The second book in Stacey Kennedy’s Kinky Spurs series is every romance lovers dream. With a sexy, charming and devoted Cowboy, and a fun, determined and confused young woman, it definitely keeps readers on their toes. A beautiful storyline that reveals the depth of duty and commitment a brother has to his sibling’s future, and the Cowboy who wants her heart, but will forsake his own for a few days of unbridled passion.

I must admit Shep besotted me in book one, but Chase is the whole package. Determined to make a name as master builder and help keep his family ranch afloat in the process, Chase has a heart of gold, a sweet and caring nature and eyes for only one woman. Unfortunately, that woman is his best friend’s sister and destined to leave their little corner of the world for bigger and better things. But the chance to spend the last days of Harper’s time in River Rock wrapped in each others arms is too tempting to resist, no matter the risk to his fragile heart.

Harper has dreams that will take her to the bright lights of Vegas and a brilliant career that is fuelled by her passion for cooking. But she’s waited for the one man she can’t ignore to make a move before she closes that door. When it seems that she’ll leave River Rock without ever knowing the warmth of his embrace, Chase finally succumbs to his banked longing and Harper basks in the glow of a passion so intense she’s reeling with emotion.

This is definitely my favourite book of the series so far. Chase and Harper are wonderful together, and their emotional rollercoaster is dissected to perfection. Sweet-Loving Cowboy has everything; drama, deception, family interference and some serious soul searching too, but in the end love is what really matters and knowing when to follow your dreams and discovering where those dreams truly lie, are sometimes more closely related than you ever realised.

Sweet-Loving Cowboy is the second book in the Kinky Spurs series and a great addition it is! I love the Blackshaw brothers and between the three of them, they ooze sexiness, loyalty and they are a hard working trio trying to keep their father's business alive.

Chase Blackshaw is working on his biggest and most important project to date - the construction of the Blackshaw Cattle Company's new guest ranch. Chase is hoping this is going to put his new construction company on the map, but also help he family keep their ranch afloat in the process.

Harper McKinney is the younger sister of Chase's best friend and she's just returned back home after attending culinary school in Denver. Her dream has always been to go to Vegas and open her own restaurant, but circumstances have not allowed her to do that, until now. She's closing in on the date that she will leave home and begin pursuing what she's always wanted.

The one thing that has always hung between Chase and Harper is their explosive chemistry. There is no doubt they are attracted to one another, but Chase is not going to be the person who holds Harper back from her dreams, so he has chosen not to explore what he knows would be amazing between them. When they finally get to the point they can't fight their attraction anymore, Harper and Chase decide to take advantage of the 8 days they have left together before she leaves. Will 8 days be enough?

I really enjoyed how this story unfolded and while the trope is one that has been done many times before, I really liked this take on it. It wasn't where the brother thought that his friend wasn't good enough for his sister, it was that he knew his sister had not gotten the opportunity to follow her dreams previously and he doesn't want her to sacrifice that for anything. It really showed the depth of a brother's love and also the understanding of the man who was falling in love with her.

Great work by Stacey Kennedy and I can't wait to read the next book in this series!

I received an arc from Netgalley. Chase and Harper have been skirting around each other for years until one night at the kinky spurs changes things between them.

Lots of discovery for Harper and the decisions she needs to make. Chase has finally decided that letting Harper go without following through on his feelings could be devastating.

These two discover sometimes the dreams of others keep you from finding and keeping the dreams you have for yourself. A good read.

I love these Blackshaw Cowboys! Sweet loving Cowboy is a cute best friends sister romance.

Chase is as sweet as his brother . He's caring and a definite charmer. He'd only looking to charm one women. Harper is one lucky lady.

Her life is in flux but she's ready for a new challenge but she soon realizes that her dreams can change.

There chemistry and friendship is perfect for this couple.

Love this series. Kinky Spurs in the local bar cold beer, good food and cowboys. Harper McKinney has been home from culinary school in Denver for 9 months. She's been working at Kinky Spurs which her friend Megan owns and is set to take off to Las Vegas to pursue her dream as a chef. For right now, she's slinging brews and crushing on Chase Blackshaw. Now is a good time to say if you haven't read book one, you'll be glad you did. Gives you a great backstory on the 3 brothers. After pulling the family ranch out of disaster they're well on their way to the grand opening of a working guest ranch. Cabins are done, courtesy of Chase who has his own construction business and is just starting out. This project is important to him in so many ways. He's best friends with Brody, Harper's brother and has sworn some sort of man pledge not to interfere with Harper's "dream" plan which is to go to LV and open her own restaurant. Brody is OTT overprotective, obnoxiously so and got on my nerves a couple times. It's obvious that Chase and Harper are interested in each other and finally at the 3 month mark, Harper starts pouring it on. Chase just picked up the ball recently, only after promising his left kidney to Brody he would not stop Harper from leaving. Harper and Chase were really a great couple. I loved them. Add to this is a sweet little puppy they rescued. Chase was an over thinker and Harper is a little more light. They make each other happy and burn down the house in the bedroom. Or wherever the mood hits them. There's a lot going on in this story, Chase can't get the cabins to pass inspection which has him flat on his face. Nash is Nash and still busting Megan's chops when he can. Emma and Shep are happy and everyone is working hard to get the new ranch off the ground. With yet another failure to pass inspection and Harper's impending departure Chase is all sixes and sevens. But the man has focus. The time Harper spends with Chase brings her to a crossroads about her decision to leave and has her rethinking her life. Brody has made some changes in his life as well. Brody is prickly. That's all I'm going to say. Several criss crosses in the storyline with everything that is going on but it all flows so well, no worries there.
This book has a great story line and the characters I love. I can't wait for Nash's book. He's the youngest of the 3 and home to help on the ranch. He's got a thing for bar owner Megan. Can't wait to see those two spar.
Great story Stacey! Loved it.

Harper McKinney finished culinary school with big dreams. Right now, she’s a bartender at Kinky Spurs. While she’s content with her life, her brother is determined that she make a name for herself, because he wants her far away from what he deems a trashy bar. But Harper refuses to go anywhere. She’s in love with her brother’s best friend, Chase Blackshaw.
When I started reading I couldn't put it down. Stacey Kennedy is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.

The Blackshaw’s return with the wonderfully romantic Chase and the sweet Harper. Add in a too cute for words lab named Houdini and you have a fantastic story of love, family, following your dreams and a bit of sexy times. The struggles of Chase and Harper mimic the struggles of lots of people and I liked the message of “do what feels right and all will be well in the end”. Chase and Houdini stole the show for me. Seeing them interact will make you want to run out and get a dog. I liked Harper – she was always too nice, I would have liked to have seen more fire in her but that is my opinion. Another great addition to the Blackshaw Brothers.
