Heather's Notes
I had said I wouldn't read anymore of this series but I skipped down until I found one I thought I would like. It was not bad, but it wasn't wonderful either. I felt like Ray should have had more consequences. Also Texas is not a common law state (or it wasn't several years ago) and that is not how divorce settlements go. If you show you paid for college your spouses college it counts. Still I liked Cory and Jack, and while Bunny was a bit of a mouse (when it came to Ray), she did finally stand up for herself. However I don't think I will go back and read any of the books between.

Boots and Roses Review
I question why I read this book. The only reason I rated it a 2 instead of 1 is because I actually read every last word. The jest of the story is good - I like that both guys get the girl. I don't like love triangles but I love a good menage. Here's the reasons I didn't like the book:
1. "...I may be taken, but there are a lot of single women in this room who aren't..." Really? Well, if their not taken then by default their single.
2. Jack is the hottest deputy in the tri-county and next sentence he's the best looking deputy on the sheriff's force. Hmmm... she down graded his looks from being the best in 3-counties to just the sheriff force.
3. Bunny (yes, the protagonist name is Bunny) is talking with Audrey who ask if Bunny has a bidding number for the cowboy auction and she says she doesn’t need one. The next scene Cory flirts with Bunny and taps her numbered paddle telling her to bid on him. I didn’t think she had a bid number…
4. Jackson, Mark, and Luke are the Grey Wolf brothers but it is mentioned that they are twins. Which ones? Or are they triplets?
5. Jack flirts with Bunny and lifts her hand to kiss then somehow out of the clear blue he is kissing her lips pulling the bottom lip between his teeth. There was a huge hole in the story for such a major jump in the same paragraph.
6. Three times in the first section same chapter Bunny talks about her ex-husband of 2-years remarrying. Excessively repetative throughout the story.
7. Cory and Jack are talking and Cory puts his arm over Jacks shoulder in comfort but then Jack looks across to him? What did Jack have to cross to see him considering they were standing close to begin with?
8. Bunny is stunned by Cory’s bare-chested hug but he is wearing a vest – that’s not bare-chested.
9. Bunny, Jack, & Cory are on a date. They ride to the fair in a vehicle with a bench seat because she is sandwiched between them being groped. On the way home from the fair they are in a convertible. Did they swap vehicles at the fair?
10. Bunny came across as obnoxiously insecure, fickle and self-deprecating.
That's more than enough reasons for the score I gave. Overall the story was cheesy. I liked the voice of Cory and Jack and think so much more could have been done to make this a great story.

Boots and Roses Ugly Stick Saloon was a fun story that you didn’t have to think about. It was fun to read about a character with the first name of Bunny (her last name is Leigh, but I just stay with the first cuz it is too cute). Yes, I said Bunny – she is no ditz, just relationship shy after a hideous marriage and nasty divorce. She is also lying to herself about how happy she is being alone….never lie, it comes back to bite ya in the butt every time!
She has to deal with an ex-husband,the the stripper who she falls for, Cory,who wants her time and love, his buddy Jack who wants a part of Bunny’s time and love, and that the auction that allows her to try a world she was never sure she wanted to fall into but does.
And then there is Bunny worrying about the age differences, she is the only one who worries, the boys don’t seem to mind.
Refreshing and written well I was entertained for the first page to the last. Cory, Jack and Bunny are the most fun-loving threesome!

I looked this a lot more than the first story. Here we have two sweet talking gorgeous men that have their way with the ladies. Both being strippers they know what a woman wants, well that's what the book said. Anyway, Jack and Cory sweep Bunny( yeah Bunny) off her feet. They take her on a few rides at the fair ground, jeez,what were you thinking? Thinks get a little indecent in to of the Ferris wheel but that's why they stop right? It's pretty much a done deal except she has a package deal to accept the ole two for one deal. You know how things roll in this town, it's common place. Once she wraps her head around that and her hands around them, wait I'm getting a head of myself, sorry no pun intended. First she has her annoying and obnoxious ex husband Ray to contend with and Jack and Cory don't do any fighting, that's taking care of by Bunny and her friend. I personally wished a stray bullet would have found him. I think something dire may happen to him in a future book.

Ms Jackson's books always leave me on the fence. While I like the story line/plot of the book, sometimes the word usage no longer qualifies as erotic/sexy, instead diving straight into trashy. I am not a fan of the way she chooses to word or phrase things often times.

I loved it and would have given it at least four stars if not for the ending. It was just too abrupt a closure for me. Otherwise . . . greatness.

I really enjoyed this story but there 1 or 2 elements that I wasn't very keen on!

This book was surprisingly tame, considering the content.

I love this series by Myla Jackson. Always something new going on at the Ugly Stick Saloon.

These books are ridiculous. Small town full of lonely women suddenly romanced by plural sexy men and having happy poly ever after, and all the drama comes from completely over-the-top improbabilities, like the irrationally, pompously evil ex Ray who somehow got a cute new girl who has seen his ugly side and still wants to marry him?
This cover is exquisitely hot and earns the book an extra star, thought the blond hulk is a poor choice for the character.
