I love V.A. Dold’s Le Beau Series so I had no hesitation in reading her first book in her new K.I.S.S. Series. Well, I was correct, it was just as good. We have two people who have sworn off of loving. Both of them for different reasons, but both stubborn enough to stick to it. There’s Joe, a widower with 2 children, whose a ranch foreman and a modern day cowboy all the way from his boots to his Stetson. We also have Carol, who was betrayed by her boyfriend and has decided to uproot herself and start over again by moving to Texas and work with an old friend in the medical field. The first time they meet is unexpected, but for Joe, well it completely overwhelms him and he can’t understand what’s happening to him. Carol see’s a good looking cowboy with gentlemanly manners. They agree to have tea together. It progresses slowly but unknown to Joe, Carol’s past includes a traumatic event, that along with her recent betrayal has her afraid to trust any man. Well, that’s all I’m saying without giving any spoilers, but be prepared for a great love story that also has humor, danger in a great Texas country background and even a murder. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good cowboy romance and all that comes from a past filled with heartaches and fear.

When Carol arrives at the Le Beau ranch, she thinks she is making a fresh start and leaving all her problems behind. Little does she know that her stalker has followed her! Joe still has feelings for his late wife and lives only for his children, Tracy and Troy. When Carol and Joe meet, sparks fly and although neither is looking for a relationship, it seems that their attraction is reciprocated. Will Joe be able to protect Carol from her stalker? Will she still want to continue their relationship when she finds out about his children? This is a fast-paced storyline that keeps you turning the pages to find out what will happen next. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more in this series.

Joe is the manager on Lucas’s ranch in Texas. He lost his wife ten years ago and raised the twins on his own. He is not looking for anyone to date or have a relationship with. Carol is Kensie’s friend from Minnesota and will be her office manager in the new clinic. Carol has a troubled past and her fiancée just cheated on her with her sister. She meets Joe and their spirits automatically connect. Krystal Le Beau has the gift of seeing other’s auras and spirit guides. She knows these two automatically belong to one another. So, with the help of Lucas and Kensie, they are thrown together. But someone is stalking both of them and leaving weird notes…some very threatening. Who is it? What does this person want? The Le Beau’s discover even though they left Louisiana behind, trouble still comes around them! This story is not about shifter’s falling love. It is about two humans who find their soulmate and live happily ever after! I received this book as an ARC and am leaving a voluntary review.
I enjoyed this book as it was an easy read story about finding that one true love and not allowing the past to keep you from it. The love story was very sweet and the dangers the characters encountered, very real. It was different from other books involving the Le Beau clan in that Carol and Joe are not shifters. As Kensie’s friend, Carol is family. Joe is the trusted foreman on the ranch and works closely with Lucus. This leads to some well-meaning interferences. Evil from Carl’s past also brings in a touch of suspense. I am looking forward to seeing where the K.I.S.S. series takes us and how Krystal and her mate come together, especially with her mother looming somewhere in the background.
