WHEN LOVE IS DECORATED WITH INK AND WEARS SPURS

Chastity
I thought I had it all: a new husband, a baby on the way, and a love that was meant to be. At least, everyone kept telling me my life was perfect.
When it all came crashing down, I ran. As far as I could.
Who’d have thought the one thing to save me would be bucking a cowboy called Wrecker?

Kanen
It’s lonely at the top.
Especially when you come from rock bottom.
I gave up on a love that lasts a lifetime. Gold diggers, fame wh*res, I just took what I was offered.
At least until I met the girl with the sweet curves and the kind eyes. The one who accepted me for who – and what – I am, not for the fame or the money. The one who might give me my second chance.
Or will she run away again?

Bucked is a steamy standalone novel with a HEA ending, a satisfying epilogue, and NO CLIFFHANGERS!

I read WRECKED a while ago and didn't realize that BUCKED was the same story until I started reading it. Well, let me just say that I kept reading even though I realized my mistake...it was THAT good! Actually, it was even better the second time around...LOVE this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good cowboy romance w/potential to be more
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017
Bucked is the first book I’ve read by Jess Bentley. I’ll be honest and say I saw the cowboy on the cover, and I wanted it asap. This story is short, but full of charm, although it did lack that emotional punch I look for.

Kanen is a big name in the bull riding circuit and he’s got his eye on Chastity who’s new to town. He lays on the charm and the good ole boy manners, and it’s super sexy! The Southern drawl is just on point, and I could hear it while reading. He’s not looking for a commitment, but then neither is the shy, awkward Chastity.

Chastity moved from Canada to Texas after losing her husband and unborn child in a car wreck. She doesn’t need a man, let alone one who looks like bad boy Kanen. But maybe this could be her second chance. She has to come to terms with a lot and decide if she’s capable of love or if it’s worth it.

There are some heavy topics in this book—immigration, racism, love lost. I liked how the story tackled these issues. It’s interwoven well into the story.

While this is a good little read, the story needed something more for me. Significant parts of the plot felt too abrupt or were glossed over. I like the nitty-gritty details and as a reader, I just look for stories that wring my emotions out piece by piece. By the end of this one, I felt removed from the characters.

I definitely recommend Bucked for those who love cowboy romances. It mixes a little sweet with a bundle of steam and is all about second chances.

3 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Young widow meets Texas bull rider
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2016
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Chastity has recently lost her husband and the baby she was pregnant with in a car accident. After, she finds her marriage to her high school sweetheart wasn't what she thought it was. She has left Canada for Texas. She makes a friend and meets a really hot bull rider. She's only experience with her husband, so she has no idea how to handle a man. Kanan, the bull rider, has issues of his own. He's part Native American and has dealt with racism all his life. He's also had to deal with the fact that his late mother was an addict and prostitute in a small town that doesn't forget. He sees a comraderie with Chastity. He sees hurt in her eyes. They both want the same things, but don't really know how to reach for it and are both afraid.

This was a surprisingly deep and sexy book. You spend the book in their heads while they tried to work out their own issues and try to move forward.

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2016
Chastity has moved to Texas to try and deal with the loss of her husband and unborn child in a car accident and the discovery that their marriage wasn’t as perfect as she thought.

From the moment the two met the chemistry was instant however they both have trust issues that they must overcome. When they make an enemy looking for revenge will they be able to stop him so that they may have their happy ever after? I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Growing up being poor and promising his mother that he would be successful
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2017
Chastity is starting over. After losing her husband and unborn baby to car accident, she has moved to Texas to begin again and its a whole new world compared to Canada. Meeting a bull riding champ was definitely not something she expect let alone having a connection with him.
Kanen has never trusted anyone. Growing up being poor and promising his mother that he would be successful, he has never been treated well by anyone unless they knew about his money. When he meets Chastity and falls for her innocence and beauty, has not sure he can fully trust her or himself and just may have to walk away.
Can either of these two set aside their issues to really get to know one another and accept the feelings that are there or will they both walk away from a love that could be?
I liked this short novella, but almost a little too short for my liking. The author had a good basis to the story but I felt at times I was riding a bull and getting flung from one thought of a character to another. The background of the characters was kind of loose and there wasn't anything of the secondary characters. I felt a little lost at time with who was butting into whose business. The overall story I enjoyed but had some holes. I would give this read three stars.

WOW! This book was amazing!
Chastity came to Texas from Canada after she lost her husband and child. She meets The Wrecker aka Kanen who is a famous bull rider. They hit it off but she isn't sure if she wants a relationship after loosing her husband and he isn't sure either because he has always been single and left girls after night one.
Things get steamy, sexy sweet and you can't help but fall in love with the a southern gentleman.
The ending is the best, I don't have any negative things to say about this book.
A must read.
