Not enough story itself and just too much hot & heavy action in this one. Plus the concepts repeated ad nauseum, and there were so many mistakes in the ARC provided (I hope they were caught before publication)

This is the 2nd book in the Moving Violations trilogy. Lora Leigh and Veronica Chadwick hit it out of the water every time. Their flawless writing and storytelling sucks you in. I couldn’t put this one down. It was steamy, and had the happiness that was needed.

This was also the last book that Veronica Chadwick wrote, sadly before passing.

Apologies for the late response on this title, and apologies for clogging up an inbox on old titles.

While I am aware it's obvious, I have chosen not to read/review this title.

As always, I appreciate access to titles and look forward to the next one...which I have likely already read based on how long ago this title was published.

Thanks, again.

This is the second book in the Moving Violations Series: Lots of hot, steamy sex and a fairly good plot, what little there is of it.

Action packed and emotionally thrilling adventure filled with engaging charters, witty banter, heart racing twists and undeniable passion. Was a great read from beginning to end and so hard to put down this emotional roller coaster ride.

Hot, hot, hot! That describes any book by Lora Leigh/Veronica Chadwick and this one delivers as well. We meet Sallie as she is on the run. She then meets someone she knows from her past, but he acts like he doesn’t know her. What’s up with that? Eventually it all becomes clear and the chemistry between these main characters is great. Leigh and Chadwick do a fantastic job in developing the characters as well as the story. This is a keeper.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book for an honest opinion.

Lora Leigh can be hit or miss with me, but this one was definitely a miss. I love lost love and second chance stories, Sallie and Jacob had some steamy nights together when they were both young, and when they enter each other's lives again, they're two different people fighting very different ghosts. Suspenseful plot, action-packed and well-paced. Plenty of romantic conflict as well as external conflict for a well-earned and satisfying happily every ever!

Strong, Silent Cowboy and his equally strong and determined gal. Jacob is definitely keeper material and not just because i like the strong dominate and thorough lovers. No, this cowboy has a lot to give and it seems his about to give it all.

Steamy and worth the empathetic aggravation toward our forgetful cowboy, this tale is just the thing for a cowboy loving reader.

*I read an arc version of this book which had inconsistencies that drove my detail obsessed brain nuts. I have no idea if they were fixed in the final edit.

Strong, Silent Cowboy is my favorite book ever from Lora Leigh! It had everything I look for in a romance! Sexy, swoony, packed to the brims with all of the feels. The characters lit up my kindle from the very moment they stepped onto the page! If I could give this 10 stars I would!!! One of the best books for sure, especially for me as I love Lora Leigh books. You won't want this book to end. Definitely on my re-read list. Happy reading everyone

Who doesn't love a good story?! One written by Lora Leigh? Doesn't get much hotter! Heat, action, suspense - this book has it all. I've never met a Lora Leigh story I didn't love, and this is no exception. Loved it!

I realized a long time after I finished the book I never wrote a review! My bad! Anyways it was a good summer romance book. Love that shared past but 1 character doesn’t remember storyline.

This is a Cowboy Suspense Romance, and this is the 2nd book in the Moving Violations series. This book as a lot of adult bedroom moments. I wish it was more about the suspense drama going on then the fact the two main characters having sexy times moments. I think the book was well-written, and I could not put it down. I really enjoyed all the characters, and the suspense parts keep me guessing. I love the twist and turns even if I guess some of them. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (St. Martin's Press) or author (Lora Leigh) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Wow! Another steamy novel from Lora Leigh and Veronica Chadwick, following the first in the Moving Violations Series - One Tough Cowboy. When I want Alpha Cowboys, I always know who to go to! While this is the second book in the series, you can read this as a standalone, but why?? The first one was delicious too!

Jacob is an ex CIA agent turned rancher who meets Sallie when she comes to town and decides he needs to seduce her. Low and behold - he's met her before! Far away in Switzerland when they both went by different names. They shared three nights of passion and haven't seen each other since.

Not until an awkward introduction that Sallie has lived through twice. As Jacob works on Sallie's seduction, her past comes back to haunt her. While she'd left her old life behind she's been on the run ever since. Once Jacob learns about their shared past, it's up to him and his ranch to keep her safe.

I've seen other reviews that say this book doesn't live up to normal Lora Leigh standard, but I don't find that to be true. The steamy scenes, alpha male and dreamy look at ranch culture was classic Leigh. I can't want to see what these two authors come up with for Moving Violations 3.

My opinion is my own and freely given.

Jacob Donovan is a rancher who is former CIA and staffs his ranch with primarily former military. He is home where he has wanted to be. Sallie moved to Deerhaven a few years ago and when she runs into Jacob, the man she had a memorable weekend with, he doesn't remember her. She doesn't tell him who she is but he seems to have a sense of deja vu where she is concerned and pursues her. When she is in danger, he is there to protect her but what will he do when he remembers who she is? Great characters and love where this series is going.

**Received this ARC for review from the publisher via NetGalley**

This is book 3 of the Moving Violations Series. Sallie Hamblen had 3 nights with Jacob Donovan before he left. Years later he comes back into her life and now there is danger and secrets that divide them. Can he stop the danger and will the secrets pull them apart forever?

Sallie and Jacob had three steamy nights together before he left her broken hearted. Jacob was an undercover agent on a case. Years later, Jacob is a cowboy with the intent to seduce the woman he left all those years ago. He didn't realize it was Sallie until they meet up. Sallie has moved on but is on the run from her past. Jacob vows to protect her when she's in danger. Will the past catch up to them? Can they stay together? A good read.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and am leaving a review.

Strong, Silent Cowboy (Moving Violations #2). By Lora Leigh & Veronica Chadwick. 2021. St. Martin’s Press (ARC eBook).

Strong, Silent Cowboy is a steamy, action-packed adventure as Sallie, who has been on the run, and Jacob, a man from her past, come together to end the threat to their happy ending for good. The premise is entertaining and I’d read more by either of these authors; and also more of this series with its cowboys and ex-military men hanging around the town of Deer Haven, Texas.

Oh Lora Leigh, be still my heart!

Fantastic story! It's one of those that has sat in TBR for a while and when you read it you're like why the H did that take me so long!

You feel better for reading this story.

New fave author I think!

Attractive title and cover.

Recommend.

This was an eh book for me. It definitely wasn't to the standard I expect from Lora Leigh and while the book moved fairly on speed, I felt like there were too many holes in the plot.

Lora Leigh is a very prolific writer, and I've enjoyed many of her books. This one was good, maybe not her best. I enjoyed the suspense but the basic premise that relied on people not recognizing each other/not communicating was meh.
