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 left Crossroads to go learn about modern ranching techniques. While he was gone, Brielle left him and abandoned their wedding plans. She and her brother bought a ranch, and Kaoz is gonna help them turn a profit. He also intends to win her back. This is book two in the Crossroads series, and it’s well worth the time spent reading. Brielle is a frustrating character, worried about what Kaoz is doing, still blaming him for their breakup. I love Kaoz, knowing that he’ll do whatever necessary to earn her trust back, not afraid to grovel or admit his failings. They are so hot together – I’ll never look at apple pie the same way again.

Kaoz, Brielle, and her brother Beau were all stubborn. Kaoz thought Brielle would wait for him busy with their wedding planning that he didn’t care much about while he went off and learned more about running a ranch. Beau thought he could buy a rundown ranch, deplete his savings, and fix it up the way he wanted and made promises to clients he couldn’t keep. Brielle left Kaoz and she fought his helping her and Beau out even though they were in over the heads. There were funny moments and ones that just made me shake my head at the characters’ foolish actions. Kaoz and Brielle spent more time getting it on than talking which led to many misunderstandings. It was funny that they were raising pigs and she couldn’t slaughter any of them. I wouldn’t be able to do it either. I laughed that Kaoz kept making Brielle different kinds of eggs and she didn’t tell him she couldn’t stand them. Beau was arrogant and came out swinging too many times. I hope he’s a humbler person in a future book. This was a steamy second chance romance.
Boaz returns from a four month absence in New Mexico to find his house empty and his fiancé gone. This story of second chance at romance has a hot, loveable cowboy who is trying to become a better man for Brielle.
Boaz spends his time working hard on Brielle and her brothers ranch. He also digs deep into his relationship problems and what he wants most in life – Brielle.
Brielle also re evaluates her part of the failed relationship and the reader sees her mature in her relationship thoughts and efforts.
This story is heart warming to watch this couple find their HEA.

He is in for a surprise when he comes back home
Confident in Chaps is the second book in the Crossroads series by Em Petrova. This story is about Kaoz Bellamy may be confident in a set of chaps, with or without the jeans underneath, but he sure does need to learn a few things about relationships of the human kind. At least that is what he finds out after being away for a while only to return and find out his fiancee has moved out of the house they share. It seems that while he was away learning and getting more experience in ranch management in New Mexico Brielle was back home feeling left alone. She was supposed to be planning their wedding and instead is confused about whether Kaoz even wants to get married to her. So what is a girl to do when the one she loves seems to not love her back…well move the heck out and on. So when Kaoz comes back home and is ready to get married and make the dreams they shared together become reality he is going to have to rope his little filly and fight her all the way to the aisle as she is bucking against him.
This is a fast-paced, fun, witty and entertaining story. Brielle is a pleasure to read as she smart and has a “bee in her bonnet” about Kaoz. You have to feel a bit sorry for Kaoz as he really did not know what was happening. This is a lesson in communication between two people who do love each other and want a life together learning how to fight for it.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
“Confident in Chaps” (Crossroads Book 2) by Em Petrova is a terrific read. I loved Kaoz and Brielle’s story. This was a wonderful addition to this series. This story is full of romance, passion, hot cowboys, small-town life, humor, family, and more. I can’t wait to read what happens next in Crossroads in “Cocky in a Cowboy Hat.” Highly recommend to all fans of romance, cowboys, family, and series.
This story is a firm believer that men are from mars and women are from venus … or at least how they seem to communicate and interpret each others intentions and actions.

This was a very intriguing story. Has a great storyline and kept me reading to the end. The characters were interesting and as Kaoz and Brielle’s story unfolded it kept me engrossed. I liked both characters as they were likable and had made some mistakes as each had some growing up to do. Will they learn what they need to know to have a better relationship this time? Will they be able to work and communicate this time? I received an ARC copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Kaoz Bellamy spent a few months in New Mexico to get first hand experience in ranching. He’d explained to Brielle, his live in girlfriend why he needed to go. She’s left at home feeling left out and confused.
Now he’s back to get his girl back and she’s fighting him.
I’ve become a fan of Em Petrova. Looking forward to more.

I was lucky enough to get an ARC Copy of this book through BookSprout and I voluntarily chose to review it. I am a big fan of Em Petrova and this book will show you the reason for that. It is well written and the characters are wonderful. I look forward to seeing some of the secondary characters in their own stories. This is the second book in this series and I was glad to see characters from book 1 show up. You will enjoy this book and I encourage you to get this one.
Kaoz might have been a bonehead for the way he took Brielle for granted in his singleminded decisions to reach his goals, but he quickly recalibrated once he returned to an empty home.
I actually loved that Brielle decided to move on as Kaoz’s dismissive actions were the last straw for her. I also liked the way she decided to work hard in helping her brother with his ranch instead of acting like a weeping victim with a broken heart.
While Kaoz was trying to figure out how to get back into her life, life on the ranch continued and insecurities flared within Brielle.
It took a while for this obviously in love couple to get back in sync with one another, but the journey was sweet and romantic.

I love Kaoz. I love that he is so focused and knows what he wants and figures out how to get it. I love Brielle. She keeps everyone in line. She is smart and works hard. The characters are fun and loving and kind and even have a flaw here and there. Beau needs a head slap every now and then. The writing is great as always. Revisiting Court and Joss is fun.

Found this book hard to put down. Great story line as Kaoz works to become a better man for Brielle. Stron, determined characters add another layer to the story. Enjoying this series very much.

One Determined Cowboy!!
Brielle is a woman who was hurt by the lack of caring about their future and the fact that Kaoz kept making plans without consulting her. She loves him with all her heart but yet can’t seem to get past that she doubts his love for her.
Kaoz is a man who has plans but doesn’t always think things through or talk to the people that matter. His plans have their best interests at heart but the lack of communication makes people doubt him. He realizes that he needs to show her how much she means to him and that he wants a future with her.
I really liked this book because it wasn’t about these two meeting for the first time, first date, first kiss. These two were already in love but yet issues were keeping them apart. I loved that this book showed that relationships take work and need an open line of communication. That stories don’t end after the first kiss.
I love second chance romances and we get Kaoz’s story here, whom we met in book 1. I love that there’s no questioning his love for Brielle but more about what he can do to get her back. The story moves quickly but packs lots of information so you don’t miss anything. We also get to see more of the characters from book 1 and we meet some more. I enjoyed it so much I read it in one sitting.
Will this cowboy get a second chance?
I have known a number of cowboys and the one thing I have found is that they can be clueless about relationships. In this tale, the cowboy is very realistic he goes off expecting his girlfriend to stay home just waiting. Now, this cowboy is like real cowboys too in the fact he is determined to get what he wants. This was a fun book a very entertaining read. I liked the characters Kaoz and Brielle there is wonderful chemistry between them. The invitations part is two thumbs up. Hope you check the book out.
