Description

Three steamy, feel-good small town love stories featuring gruff, heart-stealing cowboys and the strong, feisty heroines they fall for in Lonesome Point, Texas.

--LEATHER AND LACE (Sawyer) 

Old West restoration expert Sawyer Kane knows his share about ghosts. For years, he’s been haunted by the violence in his past. He’s certain he’s unfit for happily ever after…until he meets the irrepressible Mia. Can he convince Lonesome Point’s resident prankster that love is worth the risk? Or will a dark shadow from Mia’s past claim her life before Sawyer can claim her heart? 

--SADDLES AND SIN (Robert) 

Robert Lawson—Bubba to his friends—is six feet, four inches of tall, dark, and handsome cowboy, with a panty-melting voice and a face made to launch a country music career. Women are already throwing themselves at his feet, but Robert only has eyes for his manager, Marisol. He’s a gentleman on the street, pure alpha between the sheets, and determined to show the all-business Marisol that romance is alive and well and good men are even better when they’re given permission to be bad. 

--DIAMONDS AND DUST (Pike) 

Pike Sherman is a legend in Lonesome Point, a hometown boy who made it to the big leagues. Literally. Professional baseball acquired one hell of a pitching arm and its latest celebrity bad boy when the gifted Pike was drafted. His broken heart came along for the ride, too, but he kept that private. After a few days back in Lonesome Point, Pike can't imagine life without Tulsi, the girl he left behind, but when Tulsi's secret is revealed, his heart is broken all over again. The only thing worse than losing the woman he loved, is losing six years with the daughter he didn't know he had.

    Leather and Lace I am a big fan of Jessie Evans and have enjoyed all her books thus far including Leather and Lace. Leather and Lace's setting takes place in a small ghost town in Lonesome Point, Texas. Mia Sherman, a descendent of this small town and the owner of the lingerie shop in town, is one feisty, wild, prankster playing hottie. Sawyer Kane is the hot cowboy, harley riding, restoration expert sent to Lonesome Point to help restore the ghost town. One night, while Mia and her friends were partaking in one of her crazy prankster schemes, Mia literally ran into Sawyer, knocking him off his feet and into his heart. They both have been hurt from past relationships but they cannot deny their steamy hot attraction for one another every time they run into each other, eventually giving in. What they thought would be a summer fling becomes so much more. Not only will you be drawn to this book because of Mia and Sawyers steamy hot relationship, but also because it includes a ghost town mystery, family curses, and past loves that return to stir trouble. Saddle and Sin Jessie Evans continues to WOW me and was thrilled to once again be swept away with her newest release Saddles and Sin. Who doesn't love a friend who is not only hot, but sweet and loyal to no end. Robert 'Bubba' Lawson is that man. The good hearted cowboy who is devoted to his family and friends. Bubba is also a very talented singer who finally finds the courage to venture out of Lonesome Point and follow his dream of becoming a singer, without his family knowing his true intentions for leaving. With the help of his manager Marisol, he hopes to one day live this dream. As Bubba and Marisol work on getting his career up and running, he is called back to his family ranch, bringing Marisol with him. The kiss that they shared the night before his return to Lonesome Point leaves both Bubba and Marisol hot and wanting. Marisol's past mistakes have left her alone with no family, friends or love. She is too afraid to allow what she feels for Bubba to become more than what they shared in that kiss. Although Bubba is sweet, kind and respectful, he also has a hidden alpha male persona when it comes to Marisol and going for what he wants. What he wants is Marisol, heart, body and soul. Marisol tries to keep how she feels for Bubba bottled up and keep their relationship a professional one. While in Lonesome Point Bubba is determined to break down Marisol's walls and convince her that everyone deserves to be loved. Can Bubba be honest with his family and share his dreams of becoming a country singer? Can Bubba break down Marisol's walls and show her that everyone deserves love? Can Marisol get over her passed mistakes and allow love in? Saddles and Sin, a must read!!! Diamond and Dust Diamond and Dust was another amazing read and my favorite thus far in the Lonesome Point Series. Jessie Evans once again delivered an amazing book. I knew when I read the insert at the end of Saddle and Sin that I was hooked on Pike! WOW, a cowboy and professional baseball player, can't beat that. I have also had a soft spot for Tulsi, a single mom raising her rambunctious daughter with the help of her best friend Mia. Since she was child, Tulsi has had a crazy crush on her best friend Mia's brother, Pike. At 18, she finally reveals her feelings for him, Tulsi daring Pike to either leave her alone so she could forget him or kiss her. Pike kisses her and reveals that he too has been crushing on her. They spend the next few months together before he leaves for the minor leagues. Eventually they drift apart, both heart broken and do not speak or see each other until 7 years later when Pike returns to Lonesome Point for Mia's wedding. The moment Tulsi and Pike see each other, there is anger and hate, but also an undeniable hunger for one another. They both realize that they still love each other, Pike ready to do anything to win Tulsi back. Tulsi finally gives in but she fears that the secret she holds will tear them apart for good. I love second chance romances, and Diamond and Dust ranks as one of the top on my list.

    I have read every book in the Lonesome Point, TX, series by Jessie Evans. I love them all so much, and couldn't be more excited that there is a boxed set for them. This set is too good to miss, so grab it and get ready to be swept off your feet by some hot as sin cowboys. LEATHER AND LACE: Mia Sherman is a real firecracker. As owner of Lavender and Lace, Lonesome Point's answer to Victoria's Secret, she's busy selling sexy lingerie to tourists that come to visit her small town in Texas. Sawyer Kane is in town to make a bid to help renovate the ghost town that is part of Lonesome Point's history. When Mia and Sawyer meet, it's fireworks galore. It's hot and steamy from the get-go, and never lets up. Jessie Evans does small-town romance like nobody's business. Her characters are always unique, vivid, and likeable, and the communities that she paints are places that seem like home. In addition to Jessie's signature love story, 'Leather and Lace' brings intrigue and an old family 'curse,' as well as a loveable and zany group of supporting characters to the table (it doesn't hurt that Sawyer is a sizzling hot cowboy, either!). Jessie keeps upping her game, stepping out into multiple genres, hitting the mark every time. The Lonesome Point books are no exception, and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series. Five stars all the way! SADDLES AND SIN: Life is about to change for Robert 'Bubba' Lawson in a very big way. The success he's long dreamed of is on the horizon, and there is no one he'd rather share it with than Marisol Medina. Marisol, Bubba's manager, is a real pepper pot, a go-getter with a feisty attitude and the drive to help Bubba break into the country music scene. She also happens to drive him wild, and the feeling is very mutual. I cannot even put into words the love that I feel for Robert 'Bubba' Lawson. Jessie Evans has written a sweet and sexy cowboy that, if possible, is even hotter than all of her previous men, and that's saying quite a lot! I mean, swoon city. Not only is Bubba an awesome friend, as he showed us in 'Leather and Lace' (Lonesome Point Book 1), he is also a genuinely nice guy. Did I mention that he's panty-meltingly hot? And talented? And smart? And quite possibly the most fabulous boyfriend ever? I picked up this book and, as with all of Jessie's books, could NOT put it down. Once I really met Bubba, there was nothing to do but hang on for the ride as he swept Marisol off her feet and broke down every wall that she tried to put up. He is not afraid to lay everything out there, and to make Marisol's not-so-vanilla fantasies a reality. For real, where can I get my own Bubba? I'm afraid that Jessie may have spoiled me for other book boyfriends...I obviously cannot say enough about how much I loved Saddles and Sins, and I absolutely cannot wait for Tulsi's and Pike's story in Diamonds and Dust. DIAMONDS AND DUST: With Pike Sherman back in town for his sister Mia's wedding, it's all Tulsi Hearst can do to keep it together. Not only was Pike Tulsi's first and only love, she's hiding one heck of a big secret that Pike absolutely cannot find out. She'll just pretend like he didn't break her heart seven years ago, smile for the wedding pictures, and then life can go back to normal. The best laid plans, and all that... Pike is Lonesome Point's golden boy, the one that made it big. When he left home, he was sure that he'd never be back. But life has a funny way of throwing us for a loop, and it takes all of a day or two to completely change Pike's mind about things. Because in those couple of days, he sees Tulsi again, and realizes that it's not as easy as he'd thought to leave the past behind. Jessie Evans just keeps writing stories that I cannot help but fall absolutely in love with, and each one makes me say, 'Oh, this is the best one yet!' Her characters resonate because they are just so real, so like all of us. They're not perfect, they make mistakes, they're living normal lives as best they can. I think that one of my favorite things about reading DIAMONDS AND DUST, or any any book by Jessie, really, is that it feels like coming home. It is impossible to finish these books without a smile on my face, and to want to be part of a community like the one in Lonesome Point. Her heroes are always hot and sexy (and I think that Pike may well be my favorite so far!), which is really nice, but it's their hearts that make them so special. These are men that are willing to admit when they're wrong, to go after what they want, and to grab life by the horns and set things right. The women are written wonderfully as well; full of spunk and sass, these ladies don't take any guff from anybody. Every one of them, from Tulsi, Mia, and Marisol, right down to Clementine and Mia's Gram, are spitfires, and just make this a read that is immensely enjoyable. If you're a fan of books that bring old lovers together again, DIAMONDS AND DUST is a must-read, and is guaranteed to leave you wanting to read more by Jessie.

    Leather and Lace. I have read all of Jessie's books and she is amazing! I love the way she writes; it's so clean, fresh and witty. She makes small towns come to life and you feel like you are home.He's a smokin' hot, harley riding cowboy and she can't help but be attracted to him, but she's scared. They are both still getting over bad past relationships but they can't fight the attraction between them. This is a sweet, hot, funny and mysterious story! I was on the edge of my seat wanting to read faster to see how it was going to end. Saddles and Sin. Bubba intrigued me in the first book and I’m so glad that he has his own! Bubba is a sweet, sexy cowboy who can sing. What's better than that? Nothing! Add in his dirty mouth and penchant for all things kink and you have a winner! His manager, Marisol is a bit of a conundrum with her sexy looks and icy walls. One minute she's melting looking at Bubba and the next she's running off. She's the only one who calls him Robert and he loves that about her. He wants to conquer her. To own her. But she's skittish. He has a way with words that made me swoon; sharp, sweet and dirty. The perfect combination. Diamonds and Dust. Jessie just keeps writing better and better books. She is extremely talented and has the ability to use the written word to evoke such deep emotions that it's almost painful sometimes. Tulsi has been in love with her best friend's brother, Pike, since she was a little girl. At 18, an opportunity presents itself in the form of Pike driving by her on the side of the road. She just can't keep her feelings to herself anymore, so she confesses to still having a crush on him and dares him to make a decision and kiss her or leave. He admits to having the same feelings for her and they spend a few months in each other's arms. Eventually it ends in heartbreak for them both and they don't see or hear from each other for 7 years. Once they come face to face again, there is anger, hurt and heat. Pike is still sexy and gorgeous and Tulsi can't stop thinking about him. Pike decides he still loves her and he wants her and he'll do whatever it takes to get her back. Can he convince her that their love is stronger than the past?
