Violet Reed is in debt. Not the student loans/spent-too-much-in-Europe-the-year-after-high-school kind of debt. No, because Violet isn't the kind of girl who got to leave her hometown behind and run off to a new life. She has her mother to take care of, her back to watch. Thanks to her scum father, she owes a drug lord a whole bunch of cash, and it's pay up or suffer the consequences.
Was lucky enough to get an arc for this and I really enjoyed it!
Dane, he’s basically the perfect man. He’s sexy, kind, protective, strong and isn’t afraid to lay it all on the line.
Violet, she is strong and can handle herself but sometimes it’s nice to have to do it all alone, to let the cowboy shoulder some of the weight and sweep you off your feet 💛
Cowboy Loyal is an extraordinarily sweet romance story between a hardworking man ready for love and a troubled young woman carrying a burden that never should have been hers to hold.
Dane and Violet have crossed each others' paths before. Dane, a normally confident guy, is struck dumb in Violet's presence and resorts to admiring her in secret. Violet has always had a bit of a crush on Dane, but wasn't very hopeful she could attract his attention. When the two are brought together after a patron at the bar Violet works at gets too "friendly" and then later, when Harper becomes caretaker for his mom, Dane is not going to pass up the chance to get to know Violet more. Especially when he can tell she's hiding something that's clearly troubling her.
I loved Dane! He's such a good guy. He didn't let Violet push him away because she was afraid. Whatever she was going through, there was no way he'd let her handle it alone--even if it puts him at risk. I also thought it was sweet how he loved her from afar. That's something I don't see often enough in romances, and I really like it whenever I do. Although the book started slow, the fast-paced, exciting ending more than made up for it. I also loved the endearing epilogue Violet and Dane got.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a fun, quick read. I was immediately drawn into the story.... just the right amount of excitement, plot and romance! I can’t wait for the next book in the series to come out! 😁 I think it will be about Piotr....
𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺:🔥🔥🔥🔥 Dane is literally perfect! He had me swooning the entire book!💜 Dane has been in love with Violet for years, only knowing here from afar, until one day he comes to her rescue at work and he can no longer stay away. Violet was dealt a rough hand at life. Stuck having to pay back her father’s debts after he skips town, she works three jobs and keeps everybody at arms length. But Dane is determined to break through her shell and help her. Dane will do whatever he can to help Violet even if it means risking his own life. Violet is determined to keep Dane away, for she knows the consequences are dangerous. I absolutely devoured this book! It had so many swoony moments and lots of delectably steamy moments. This was a great southern/cowboy romance and I highly recommend! Harper Young is an amazing writer and I can’t wait for her next book!
Violet and Dane were great. They'd know each for years being from the same small town, but didn't really run in the circles. When Dane rescues Violet from a drunken guy at the bar along with a series of other events, they start to become close. They story was steamy and such a great read. "There's no me anymore. Not as a single person. There's only me and Violet. Violet and me. Forever."
