When this Texas bad boy spots beautiful Reese on the dance floor, he instantly falls deep in love. Now, he’s never letting her go. Wolf Shaw never envisioned settling down. Yet, when he spotted Reese dancing he was instantly mesmerized by the curve of her hips and how her body moved to the music. When she walked over to his bar and ordered a drink, he watched her tongue wrap around the straw and nearly lost control right there. That’s never happened before, and he knows it has everything to do with the gorgeous woman in front of him. He has to have her as his. Reese has never tangled with a Texas bad boy, but soon she will find out that when a cowboy sets his mind on something he wants, it’s forever. Tory is back with an all new Texas bad boy hot enough to make you want a cowboy of your very on. Wolf might be the dirtiest of Tory’s men yet and he’s definitely ready for more than an eight second ride. As always when you get a Tory book you’re getting an over the top alpha, a sassy heroine, insta-love galore with a heaping side of heat, all wrapped up at the end with a happily ever after.

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

Reece is a teacher and at a crossroads in her life, her plans are to use summer break to re-evaluate her life. Teaching isn’t bringing her the joy it used to so this summer she needs to decide what to do next. Renting a cottage for some peace and relaxation, little did she know that a trip into the small town was about to reveal her fate. But at the end of the summer what will she choose love or her life as a teacher?

Wolf has watch two of his closest friends fall head over heals in love, and he is determined that that’s where they differ no way is he welcoming commitment into his life. He watched his mother’s pain after she lost his father when he was a child. So when Reece walked in to his bar and started line dancing in her flip flops he knew he was then and done, his future just arrived with all the bells and whistles he always swore he would never feel. But Reece is only there for the summer can he show her that with him is where she belongs?

Ms Baker sure knows how to write a cowboy novella and this was a fantastic read. Wolf found his prey and there was no way that she was ever going to be out of his sights. Loving this series. Highly recommended 4.5* read.

Ok, let me just get it out there – Tory Baker is the queen of Cowboy Insta-romances!

Wolf and Reese’s story is book 3 of this Series, and I’m in love with the wonderfully romantic and wholesome stories of these Texas Bad Boys.

This story features a beautiful ranch-house, complete with cows, chicken, a donkey and a pig - cuteness overload! Reese is a school teacher on a break to re-evaluate her career path. She meets Wolf at his bar, and in true Tory style, he knows in one meeting that there’s something special about their attraction. Their relationship blossoms beautifully, and it is really unique in the way they understand and support each other. I also adored Wolf’s mother, what a strong, beautiful woman.

Oh, one more thing, the steam quotient is definitely “deeper” in this book, with every book this series is getting hotter and hotter!

The author has pulled us into the lives of Wolf and Reese and does not let go. She is a teacher that travels to Galveston for the summer, hoping to decide whether to stay at her current job or try to find a different one. When she happens to enter the local bar, owned by Wolf, they have an instant connection. Can they have a true relationship or will she leave town in the fall?

Reese is a teacher. She has rented a cottage on the water to relax and reevaluate her job. She is burnt out and not sure if she wants to continue teaching. She decides to walk around the town and finds herself bopping into a bar to do some dancing. When Wolf, the bartender/owner sees her he is instantly attracted to her. He proceeds to introduce himself and they beginning getting to know each other. When the bar closes she has a dance with Wolf. Reese also feels the magic. They click.They both feel the chemistry. These two have so much steam, sizzle, electricity - they are oh so good together! This is a sweet, heartwarming story; a feel good romance with heart pounding attraction, lust, sweet passion, gentleness, tenderness, sweet passion, maybe, maybe something very special—love. Entertaining and enjoyable. I know I will read this again!

Reece is a teacher out for summer break and looking to get away at the beach. Wondering around town, she walks in to a bar. Wolf owns a small bar and has a small ranch. When Reece walks in there is something about her that make him stop. Knowing she was new to town, he offer to show her around and then start to spend more time together. As days past and they became closer new plan were made for their future, until her parents decided to visit.

Reece's dad did not approve of her plans to move and quite her job, upset she went to Wolf. Wolf understood the love of a parent and went to talk to them. I love the family dynamic in this story. Wolf is close to his mother and they hid no secrets. Reece and her dad are the same. They may fight but can come back and work it out. Her mother should not be under estimate, she may be quiet but is a force to reckon with.

Reece and Wolf have a strong connection and a deep passion that burns up the pages. The love Reece and Wolf have extend beyond the family and to their animal.

The addition starts with the book cover….yeah…yeah…yeah don’t judge a book by its cover they say ….well we all do it and this one here it is the scratch to your itch or better yet the filling to your oreos! Speaking of filling…..wait, that’s for later. Within the first chapters you get the panoramic view of whom you’re dealing with!
By the time you’ve figured out who is who, you’re already hooked, and you may as well give up the fight and prepare yourself for an all-nighter!
Can’t say I didn’t warn you.
Reese is sweet, kind to others and a teacher one evening she decides to go out for a little break from it all and a little fun not realizing that one decision will change her. She walks into Wolf’s bar takes over the dance floor, his attention, and his heart. Wolf sexy as all get out man watching Reese on the dance floor the moment, she requests a drink that is it for him he knows she will be his. Reese felt something similar the chemistry is intense, and the magnetic pull can’t be ignored so do these two go with it or will it be a one-time thing or happiness?

I enjoyed this story about Wolf and Reese but it was almost too fast, too sweet, and too conflict-free. Yes, there was the issue with her parents which, I did love. Showing how the resolution, can come out of chaos. And even though, she may not have liked the answers to why, and how her parents chose to, react or not react to a decision. That she had to been making decisions for herself, for her own life, and they are valid. For their fears, and their love as parents. They at least owned, them. She got as much of an apology, as she was going to get, due to the circumstance, and if, Wolf was right with their explanation, then she needed to be, too.

The romance is quick and hot. Ownership coming into their discussion for each other soon. But, then there was just overly sweet parts in this one between the interactions with everyone. I just did see her as a strong and sassy woman like I did Blakely and Dove. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it, for me, it just seemed off. But looking for to the next book.

I love this series, all the characters are fabulous and these two added to the family so well. When we met Wolf in the last book I couldn't wait to hear his story.
She was in my bar, right there on my dance floor, a breath of fresh air, and she was going to be MINE! I laughed at my friends, the ones who said they had found their half, said I wasn't looking. But there she is and my whole world has changed. That's what Wolf felt when he laid his eyes on Reese, his sunshine, and when this gets to his mamma look out, she's been waiting for him to find his one, just like the love that was short lived that she had with Wolf's dad. Reese is taken a break that she has needed to reassess her life, she hates her job, so while she's walking she spots a bar and is drawn in never knowing that that decision will find her a new life.
Now for Creed!!!! Yes.

As with all of Tory Baker`s books, the story is incredibly well developed... with amazing, multi-fasceted characters that you can´t help but feel connected to. It´s funny, enganging, filled with love and plenty of steam!!! Reese is so sweet and caring... she`s not afraid to be herself. Wolf is strong and protective.. he knew she was special from the moment he saw her, and he`s willing to do anything to show her how great they are together. I know that Reese`s mom wasn´t a main character, but I aboslutely LOVED her in the story. I loved that there were no mind-games, no hiding their feelings... no unnecessary drama or doubts. The story was fun and easy to read with plenty of steam to give you all those warm feelings!

Loved it so much!

Deeper was hands-down my favorite book in the bad boys of Texas series so far! The brief glimpse of Wolf in the last book did not spoil us for how amazing and sweet he would be in this book and I am living for it. Reese coming to town was the classic right place at the right time, and she found such a great life and love in Wolf.

Did I mention how much I love Wolf? He was surprisingly sweet, the iconic alpha male, and he didn’t push for Reese to do anything without giving her time to consider where she wanted to be. Who wouldn’t want a man that caters to you and lets you get new animals. This book was so enjoyable to read, and it really felt like the sweetest escape from reality for a while. Pick it up!

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the third book in the Bad Boys of Texas series. In this book, Wolf has returned to town and is now the owner of a bar. Reese is a teacher and on vacation and goes into the bar one night. Wolf and Reese start talking and there is an instant connection between them. Wolf wants Reese to stay with him while on vacation and she agrees to spend some time with him at his ranch. They grow even closer and soon Reese doesn't want to return to teaching and her life, she wants to stay with Wolf. I really liked this instant love story. I loved the connection between Wolf and Reese. I think it was a love at first sight situation and it only grew the more time they spent together. Good one.

Tory Baker's awesome Bad Boys of Texas series continues with the third novella in the series, Deeper. School teacher Reese is in Galveston for the summer, a vacation as she tries to decide whether she wants to continue her career, at least in the elite private school where she's been working. Wolf owns a successful bar in Galveston, and is behind the bar when Reese walks in her first night in town. After watching her kick up her heels on the dancefloor, he is done-for - and as soon as Reese lays eyes on Wolf, she's equally smitten. This is a super steamy novella with engaging characters - high heat, low drama, and lots of un-putdownable romance.

Deeper by Tory Baker is part of the Bad Boys of Texas series, and oh my GIDDY AUNT but do they deliver!

Wolf and Reese had me eating out of the palms of their hands! I was enamored and HOOKED from start to finish throughout this fast paced and engaging quick read. Their connection had me hot under the collar as they interacted on the page.

I love how this story encompasses the importance of being kind, of treating others well, of integrity. The instant attraction sizzles and simmers, but communication, desire, and openness absolutely factor heavily in what captivates me with this story.

It'll hit you in the FEELS, whilst burning up the pages with the heat they generate! So, dive in, get nice and deep, and enjoy the ride!

Dancing in a bar leads to love.

I really liked this short instalove story. It was entertaining and enjoyable. The characters were easy to relate to and likable. Wolf’s mom Julia was so sweet and my heart hurt for her and her lost love. She was a wonderful mother and friend. Reese’s parents were great too. They were both willing to back off their stance and mend fences with their daughter. Wolf was protective, possessive, and sweet. Reese was adventurous, sweet, and a major animal lover. Reese decided to stop at Wolf’s bar where she decided to join a group that was line dancing. Wolf and Reese were drawn to each other at first sight. They really hit it off. I loved their happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.

This is book number 3 of the Bad Boys of Texas series and focuses on Wolf and Reese. They meet when Reese comes into Wolf's bar and they hit it off right away. Wolf has always told everyone that he has no intentions of settling down any time soon but when he meets Reese his whole outlook changes and he can imagine all the ways they can spend the rest of their lives together. I loved how Wolf and Reese were both all in right away and loved each other so well! I really enjoyed this story and I can't wait for Creeds story!

Fast moving romance.
One stop at a bar changed the course of Reese' life forever.

Wolf Shaw loves his life, he never knew anything was missing until he saw the beautiful woman line dancing in flip flops at his bar.
Read how animals sooth the soul..
How love can happen over night.
How family acceptance is not necessary but needed.
Wolf has no problem taking charge but will always give his girl her hearts desires.
Their relationship is smooth with give and take.
I received a advanced copy of the book for my honest review.

I thought that this was a fantastic book. I loved Wolf and Reese! I loved the connection and the chemistry between these two. There was a lot of tension, steam, love, and a little bit of tension and drama but the drama only pushed Wolf and Reese closer together. These two were prefect for each other. I loved this book and I can't wait to see happens with Creed! I would recommend this book and I would recommend it and Ms. Tory as a must read author.

Absolutely loved Wolf and Reece together. Reece has no idea how much her life will change when she heads down to Galveston for a much needed vacation during the summer. Wolf loves his bar and his small ranch, nothing could have prepared him for Reece. Sparks fly as soon as they meet, and the fire rages hotter the longer they know each other. A few minor conflicts occur, but nothing gets in the way of their HEA.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Welcome back to Texas where things are getting hotter. Reese and Wolf meet at his bar and it is an instant connection between them. She is on a much needed vacation that changes everything. Wolf is pretty much a confirmed bachelor, does not see what the fuss is about. He is going to find out when Reese knocks him for a loop. These two were great together. I have enjoyed the books from the Bad Boys Of Texas series

Reese is taking a break to figure out what her next step is as she is burnt out with teaching. Relaxing, she goes to a bar owned and run by Wolf Shaw and he gets some steam built up. The characters are strong and determined, with plenty of intense feelings and emotions. The storyline is instalove and Wolf is not taking no for an answer. The two are so good together and I love a family that loves animals. Great ending.

I've been waiting for this book.
After reading the first two I have been counting down.
I really enjoyed both main characters and I loved every minute of their budding romance.
The pace, heat and flow of their chemistry and connection lifted off the pages and grabbed me, sucking me in for more.
The storyline was equally as good, it kept me engaged and hooked into this book.
I couldn't put it down so it was no surprise that I read this book in one sitting.
I was completely satisfied with the ending, but I still wanted more, from all the brothers and family!!

This new "Bad Boys of Texas" story is a short and quick read about Wolf and Reese. She is a teacher that needs a break to figure things out. She rents a cottage in a small town where she meets Wolf. Wolf has seen his best friends find love but after seeing what his mother went through is determined not to go down that path. That is until Reese walks into his bar. The attraction is instant between these two. This is a fun story with some sweetness and definite sexiness. I really love the characters!

When life and her job had pushed Reese to her breaking point, a vacation seemed the remedy. A little cottage on the beach, time to relax, and poof, she'd be better. But instead, she walks into a bar and finds Wolf, owner and apparently, the man of her dreams. These two had instant attraction and left no doubt that true love and a HEA were coming.

Wolf knew instantly that Reese was the one. He saw their future and went all in.

Enjoying this Series!

Tory Baker has written another amazing story that will definitely leave you with a smile on your face. Reese, needing a break and burned out from teaching, rents a cottage on the beach. She doesn't expect to catch the eye of sexy cowboy Wolf Shaw. The chemistry between them is intense and immediate. Wolf has finally met the one for him. Wolf is not the only one who falls hard and fast because Reese can definitely see herself with Wolf. Looking forward to the next book!

Deeper was a good story. Tory Baker did a great job on the book, the plot and characters were strong, the story was written well.
From the moment Wolf laid eyes on Reese, everything he ever thought changed, he knew she was his and he'd do anything for her.
The connection that Reese and Wolf had was strong, they were drawn to one another, their attraction was strong, their chemistry was sexy and sweet. They were good together., I enjoyed their journey.
Thank you, Tory Baker. Great work :)

Oh my goodness, Wolf is quite possibly my favorite in this series, so far. When Reese lays eyes on him, she is smitten and the feeling is very obviously mutual. Things move at warp speed and it was just adorable, all heart eyes and cartoon birds flying as they fall in love. The best part was they naturally and easily take care of each other. The support and the strength they find in each other was just sublime. Can't wait for more!
