When it comes to second chances, he won’t take no for an answer.Kaoz Bellamy left Crossroads to ride the range. Upon his return, he finds his girlfriend gone—and she even took his custom beer tap. Worse than the fact he won’t be accessing his favorite brewski anytime soon is the realization she isn’t coming back.Did the big jerk of a cowboy actually think Brielle would wait around pining for him, … wait around pining for him, when he didn’t give any indication how he felt about her? No amount of rope in the county could tie her to that man again. But after one look at him, she finds that old flame still burns hot, his hands are just as perfectly rough…and he can still light her on fire with his kisses.
No matter how sexy and out of control their interludes are, Brielle will never fully trust Kaoz again. He claims he’ll do anything to win her back, even help out her pain-in-the-neck brother with his startup ranch. Kaoz never did see eye to eye with her family, but if he can help get her brother’s ranch on its feet, he might have a second chance with the little firecracker he loves. Working alongside him means ample opportunities to remind her how good he can make her feel too…and Brielle fears if she loses her heart to the determined cowboy this time, there might be no getting it back.

Kaoz and Brielle’s story has all the feels that one would expect from an Em Petrova story. Brielle, Kaoz’ fiancée, is an independent woman in her own right, but she doesn’t believe anymore in Kaoz’ love for her. When he left for months, while working for their future, and his lack of communication with Brielle, she felt something was missing. Kaoz is a great guy, but he is absolutely clueless and doesn’t realize how the woman he loves above all else is feeling. With lots of feels and problems that has plagued these two, it was very rewarding seeing how Kaoz finally opens his eyes and fights to keep the love of his life. Both have issues, but they find that communication and not giving up is the reward to their HEA. **I was gifted with “Confident in Chaps” via Booksprout and** 4.5 Stars!

Kaoz Bellamy is back in town and it isn’t the warm welcome he expected, I get why Brielle left but I also think she could have told him she was leaving even if it was just a text. In saying that I really liked how she decides to make him work to get back in her good books thanks to her brother and his need to make the his ranch succeed and offence against Beau but yeah he definitely needs help. This is the perfect book about falling back in love and learning about how to make a relationship work as well as what you are passionate about. There are plenty of laughs, eye roles, learning curves as well as crazy attraction, steamy times, great friend and family and of course a happy ever after.

The title!
I am just a twelve year old dude. Cuz that title!
Ok, here’s a tip. Don’t ghost your girlfriend.
Don’t waltz back in expecting her to fall right back onto some chaps. Snicker.
You better work for it, Kaoz.
Mature twenty-somethings 4 stars – Despite their age, the main characters in this story are mature. They are making mature and confident decisions in their professional and personal life. There are no over the top conflicts caused by some manufactured misunderstanding commonly found in romance with twenty-something characters. The author’s treatment of Brielle’s character and Kaoz’s character is very refreshing. The steam is still there and the plot has a good pace. [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]
I really enjoyed reading Kaoz and Brielle’s story. I really love a sexy cowboy and a strong, independent woman, and that is what you get in this book. Even though this book is the second book in a series, this book can be read as a standalone, which is what I did, but after reading it, I immediately pre-ordered the next one, because I enjoyed this one so much. As with the case in this book, communication can be a big issue with couples, but don’t let it be said that people can’t learn from their mistakes. They still have the passion, so they just need to improve on communication. I also really wanted a good pizza while reading it. I loved this book, so I highly recommend it.

This was a very enjoyable and interesting story. Great storyline, beautiful characters you become to love as Kaoz and Brielle’s unfolds. They are likeable and definitely I appreciate how they grow up and finally got on the same page.
Yes, second chance romance but they have to work hard on that. Communication usually helps in that matter.
Definitely recommended.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. The second book in the Crossroads series is about Kaoz and Brielle. They are in love and getting married. Everything was great until he decided to take an opportunity away at a ranch for months. He believes that he is building on their future and Brielle will understand. She believes that he is avoiding their future and feels bewildered and hurt. Neither understands why and what the other has done until they find themselves picking up the pieces. Trust and communication are issues they have to fix if they want to have the future they dreamed of. This was a love story gone wrong then made right. I really like the characters and their chemistry in this book. I look forward to what Em brings us next

A second chance, but a tough road back
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a book hero have to work harder at his second chance than Kaoz Bellamy does in this story. Don’t get me wrong, Brielle has her own load to carry, but, dang, Kaoz has a long road ahead of him. I really liked how the story wasn’t perfectly linear; there were setbacks , like the barn, which had to be resolved by other means, similar to how it is in the real world on farms/ranches. Another great story by Em Petrova.
Crossroads has the cowboys!
I love this author’s cowboys and Kaoz was a treat! Capable, funny, sweet, and determined to have his second chance. Their second chance. He left his home, and Brielle, assuming he could come back with no issues. Wow, was he ever wrong and Brielle was not shy about letting him know it. He wasn’t leaving and soon they were forced (well, she was) to not only work together, but live together. Again…
Salty, heated and with lots of humour, these two navigated a cowboy-infused second chance. They pushed (well, Kaoz pushed) and Brielle punched back which made this not only steamy but a lot of fun too. You can’t go wrong with Em Petrova’s cowboys and Kaoz is a prime reason why…
*I happily reviewed this story
**Thank you to Booksprout
Love reading second chance romances. When he left her, he knew that he would be back but he expected that she would be waiting for him. Good read and romance.

This is the second book in this series but it can be read as a standalone with no cliffhangers.
Kaoz Bellamy loves Brielle more then anything, but he screwed up big time. Now he’s a Hot cowboy on a mission to get his woman back.
Brielle thought she had it all, but her dreams walked out the door 4 months ago and left her behind. Now he’s back and she’s having a hard time remembering why she can’t have him again.
Great story about communication in a relationship.
Hot Cover!

An entertaining cowboy romance read that didn’t disappoint. Kaoz and Brielle journey has its up and downs. When he leaves to make their life better he wasn’t expecting the love of his life to not be there when he returns. That was his first mistake and what follows next will give you all the feels of a second chance romance with great banters and an even better make up session. This newest addition to the Crossroads series was fun from start to finish. I loved the strength of Brielle’s character and the persistence of Kaoz. A definite must read!
Confident in Chaps is the second book in the Crossroads series. When Kaoz returns home after four months of being away, he expects a sweet homecoming from Brielle, his fiancée he adores. When she moved out, she thought they were through, but Brielle has another thing coming her way when Kaoz comes to help her brother’s ranch. Both have some growing up they need to do, but will they reach the same important future goals together?
This was a great addition to the Crossroads series, and Kaoz and Brielle really stole the show with their romance. I loved that Kaoz was so determined to fight for their love, he never once gave up on them, but was also humble enough to realize when he did make mistakes and owned them. He definitely had a few things to make up for, but I loved his creativity, passion, and how big his heart proved to be. Brielle has reason to guard her heart, but I loved watching her open back up again for her cowboy. I liked how dedicated they both were to hard work, the hurdles they needed to overcome individually and together, and I loved their connection to one another. This book had the perfect feel of a second chance romance, with some angst and drama, finding the fun and spark again with your special someone, and a happily ever after that we all crave! I loved reading this book and look forward to more in this series!
4.5 stars
This is the second book in the Crossroads Book series and it is Kaoz and Brielle’s story. It can be read as a standalone. When it comes to relationships, there needs to be a give and take and a respect for the opinions of one’s partner. Kaoz has an opportunity to go to New Mexico to learn all he can to build the ranch of his dreams for himself and the love of his life, Brielle. Thinking that Brielle is on board, off Kaoz goes and the time passes. However, when Kaoz returns, he is in for a rude awakening when all is not right with his world and he needs to step up if he has a chance to rectify his wrong….but was he wrong? Kaoz is a strong man who is learning from his mistakes and is willing to do whatever must be done. Brielle is a woman who needs to take a step back and really listen to understand the underlying motivations of another person and not jump to conclusions without having all of the facts. She has some growing up to do. Overall, it is one jam packed storyline with a sexy cowboy (you can never go wrong with a cowboy) and that down-home feeling that just makes one smile.
