Publisher Description
Professional bull rider Justin Forza might have to trade his cowboy boots for flip flops to win the woman he loves.
Forzas aren't quitters. That's the motto professional bull rider Justin Forza's dad has drilled into his head since the first time he climbed into the bucking chute. After a serious injury, doctor’s orders are to stay out of the arena. But if Justin can win one more championship, he’ll be able to continue the family legacy, set himself up for life, and finally confess his love to his best friend Emmeline.
Emmeline Porter lives by one rule: never date a bull rider. She’s seen the damage a bad ride can cause. As a last resort to stop Justin from returning to the rodeo circuit, she convinces him to take a trip to Paradise Island, a tropical haven off the coast of Texas. She hopes cutting Justin off from the pressure his dad is laying on him will give her best friend the clarity he needs to walk away for good.
The close quarters and island adventures put their friendship to the test, and it’s not long before real feelings surface and threaten to sweep them both away.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Friendship sweetly evolves into love in the fun romance that launches the Cowboys in Paradise series from Crush (the Tying the Knot in Texas series). Professional bull rider Justin Forza is taking a break from the rodeo circuit to recover from some serious injuries, despite his aggressive, competitive father urging him back into the ring. Concerned that Justin won't be able to withstand the pressure, his good friend Emmeline Porter hatches a plan to whisk Justin away on an island retreat. Justin has always secretly loved Emmeline, despite her resolution to never date a bull rider, so he's easily convinced. The secluded getaway draws the pair close, enabling them to explore long hidden feelings. Still, Justin remains conflicted about his duty to his father. Will he walk away from the family business to be with the woman he loves, or risk losing Emmeline to get back on the bull? Crush paints a vivid picture of the dangerous sport while making the comfort and safety of longtime friendships palpable. Cowboy romance fans will be charmed.

Kiss Me Now, Cowboy
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
OMStars!!!! This is such a fantastic story. I really hated for it to end. I completely adored both of the protagonists. An awesome start to a new series. I can't wait for another installment!
Justin is the youngest son of retired bull-rider. His older brother has also retired from the sport. Justin is being pressured by his over-bearing father to return to the sport, even against the advise from the doctor. Justin was injured and his shoulder has not completely healed. He is under intense pressure to return to the rodeo. He is so close to claiming the title this year. If he doesn't return soon, he will have to compete again next year. He wants the prize money to buy a spread for a future family that he wants with a certain someone.
Unfortunately his BFF, Emmeline (Em) is pressuring him but to retire. She is very concerned about her BFF. Em's father suffered from a TBI as a result of his bull-riding days. Seeing her father and mother struggle with the debilitating effects, she swears that she will never date a bull-rider. To help him decide to leave the sport, she takes him to an island off the coast of Texas for 10 days. Hoping the time away from his father will help him see the light.
Justin has been in love with Em for 10 years. He wants to declare his feelings and date her. Will Justin cave into his father and return to the sport? If he returns, will it be before his shoulder completely heals? Can Em see past the bull-rider to the man underneath and stand by him? Wow! This book is one that really kept me glued to my e-reader.
This is a book that I would highly recommend to someone over the age of 18 as it is a spicy read!!!!
