Cowboy Valentine. Mia Hopkins. 2015. [August] Samhain
Publishing. 84 Pages. [Source:Netgalley]First sentence: At half past midnight, Cora decided to start closing down the shop.
Small-town life is nothing but a waiting room for eighteen-year-old honor student Corazón Gomez. Work and school leave little time for love, but with a full-ride Ivy League scholarship and a one-way ticket out of the boondocks, who needs it?
The answer appears on Valentine’s Day when her old cowboy crush ambles into the ice cream parlor where she works, inviting her to go on a late-night ride in his truck. For the first time she wavers between staying on the straight and narrow, and going off-road with the handsome heartbreaker.
After four years working on ranches all over the country, Caleb MacKinnon is back on the family farm helping out his mom and brothers while his father fights cancer. The one bright spot: smart, funny, and wickedly sexy Cora.
From the start, they both know this blazing-hot love affair can’t last. But when autumn comes and Cora has to leave for the East Coast, Caleb must find a solution to keep himself—and his heart—from falling apart.
Warning: Contains hard, cherry-poppin’ sex in a pickup truck and a cowboy charmer who talks dirty in two languages.
My thoughts: Ok where
to start. We have Cora a studious ‘good
girl’ she has worked very hard to get out of her small town she meets Caleb the
former high school crush. Now then I
will admit that most girls have the fantasy of being swept off their feet by
their crush however I can not really imagine going from not seeing someone for
3-4 years to getting in their truck and proceeding to engage in a extremely
sexual relationship mind you she is a ‘good girl’ which translates into virgin
(not really a spoiler you find out within like 10 pages or so.) The writing was extremely descriptive in ALL
aspects of this book so my hat is off to Mia Hopkins on that! One huge drawback for me though was that the
sex seemed to be at the forefront of the book and the storyline secondary. But it is a novella so I excuse that due to
that fact. All in all it is a very quick
read and a very shall we say fun read as well.
Rating 7/10
Recommendation:
Novella fans will enjoy this.
Romance fans that like lots of steamy sex will definitely enjoy this!
