Jasper

Cloves County Cowboys #2

by Amelia Shea

Six years ago, he had his life planned out. Rancher Jasper Fords was going to live the dream. He’d continue to work on his family’s successful ranch, marry his high school sweetheart, and spend the rest of his days on the land he loved. It was a plan he had banked on and expected, and one that completely shattered him when it fell apart. Left with a scarred, broken heart, Jasper kept his focus on what was most important, the land and ranching at the Triple R. Love may not have been in his future, but his desire was definitely sparking for Cloves County’s most talked about resident. Jasper had been able to deny his attraction to the green-eyed beauty as long as he could keep her at a safe distance. When it came to scandalous reputations, Kellie Mitchell was the reigning queen in Cloves County. Town tramp, promiscuous, easy, loose, she had heard them all and been called much worse. But while most people would fall from grace running and hiding, Kellie chose to ignore all the whispers and rumors. While her wild girl status had given her a fair share of male attention, there was one who seemed immune. The only man she wanted. Kellie could barely hide her attraction for the handsome, straitlaced rancher. Unfortunately, wanting him from afar was all she seemed destined to have. When forces of nature strand them together, the reserved rancher and the salacious waitress have their desire and control put to the test.

About the author

Amelia Shea writes contemporary romance. She released her debut novel in 2015, and has followed her passion for series romance ever since. Her writing style includes a little sweet, a little sassy and lots of steam. She loves building stories with settings that become comfortable and familiar, and developing characters who feel real, and though they may be flawed, they learn and grow, and finally deserve a happy ending. When she is not writing, she is obsessed with reading (all genres although she does has a soft spot for romance), coffee (it's more of an addiction but she prefers obsession) and perfecting her "y'all" (just a northern girl living in the south).

Rancher Jasper Fords had his life planned out when he was in high school. He had his career plan, the girl of his dreams, and his family - until he had his heart broken and questioning if he could ever love someone again.

Kellie Mitchell is the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. She is the girl everyone loves to smear, spread rumors about. Some rumors true, some fabricated lies. She owns who she is and has befriended Britt who is marrying Grey Fords. This friendship also puts her close to her longtime crush Jasper. She will never act on it because she knows she is the wrong girl for him.

Jasper has noticed Kellie, she is sweet, sassy and there is a vulnerability to her that not many see. When Jasper finds out his past is back in town, he finds an unlikely friend in Kellie. He decides he is tired of just watching her, he makes a move. Can he convince Kellie she is quickly becoming his everything and to trust in what they have?

I really liked this one. Great follow up to the first book and you got a little peek into Tripp who is the wayward other brother. Kellie is terrific, I liked that she owned exactly who she was. Jasper is fairly quiet, but boy does he have a voice when someone wrongs him. Another great read by this talented author.

Fantastic

I loved this second book in this series more than the first and that’s saying something cause I absolutely freaking loved the first one so much. If cowboy’s are your thing then this series is a must read for you,it’s a must read even if they’re not your favourite. It’s just that good ❤️🖤

This is a well deserved HEA.

Trust issues and a bad reputation. Who would have thought Jasper and Kellie would get their chance at love. His ex and the mean gossips couldn't tear them apart. It was refreshing to watch them fall in love and move past the obstacles thrown their way.

I thought that some of the rumors would be fake, but they were not. Not for me. DNF. You may love it.

Such a good read. Kellie and Jasper were great characters to read and I loved following their romance. Hopefully Tripp gets a book.

Can't wait for the next one!!

I have many of Ameila Shea's books, and this one is my new favorite. Who doesn't love a cowboy? Jasper and Kellie's story has it all.

This book may be titled Jasper but, to me, it's all about Kelly. Her heart is beautiful and her inner strength is something I wish I had!
