For single mom Bobbie Jo Weston, finding a husband is not on her to-do list. She’s focused on turning a run-down chicken farm into a Bed & Breakfast. To help her achieve that goal, she agrees to let a friend’s nephew stay with her in exchange for his handyman skills. But Seth Landry isn’t quite who she pictured. For one, he’s very tall. And broody. And super sexy. Seth has a special … special skill-set, all right, but it has nothing to do with hammering nails. As a retired member of The Resistance–an elite group of ex-military soldiers–his dark, unsettling past haunts him. He needs a place to lay low, and an out-of-the-way B&B is nothing short of perfect. The blonde beauty doesn’t trust men, and he doesn’t plan on sticking around long enough to change her mind.
The closer they get, though, the more they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other. And while Bobbie holds on to her fear of watching another man walk out of their lives, Seth’s mere presence has put them all in jeopardy. The only way to ever be free of his dangerous past is for him to accept one last mission…

I love that Alison Bliss is once again taking us to her fictional small town of Liberty, TX with letting us revisit all it’s quirky crazy residents as well as introducing us to some new ones. Seth Landry is new to town. Staying just for the summer he needs a place to stay. Bobbi Jo is a single mom working hard to raise her son and turn a rundown chicken farm into a B&B. Perfect place for Seth considering he has all the handyman skills she needs and maybe a few skills she just wants! These two work great together and before long they have a nice cozy family unit going. Is this something that could last or will Seth’s secrets and his past tear them apart?
This book is filled with humor, witty banter, sexy times, and good family fun. It’s a story you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend it.
I was drawn in by Bobbie Jo’s strength and determination to build a good life for her and her son. A one-night stand with a jerk leaves her a single mom but she embraces it, no matter what challenges are in her way. She buys a rundown farm to turn it into a Bed and Breakfast but has run out of money for all the repairs. Step in a good friend, Junior, who’s nephew, Seth needs a place to stay and is a handy man. She never expects Seth to be the sexy guy she encountered at the bar. Seth is a tough nut to crack, he carries a quiet confidence while being incredibly built and sexy. Bobbie would love to uncover his secrets as she gets to know him and he embraces her and her son, Austin. Seth says he doesn’t do long-term but will being around Bobbie and Austin change his mind. I loved how their relationship had to build as they both had trust issues. I also appreciated Bobbie’s desire to stand on her own and build the life she wanted for her and Austin. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
Bobbie Jo Weston’s friends are always trying to help her find the right guy, but for her there are more important things to focus on, like getting her B&B up and running. Her track record with men has never really been good, most are only after one thing, or seem interested in her until they find out she has a son, so she figures it’s best just to write them off completely for a while. But when her new boarder shows up on her doorstep, and quickly finds a place in her and her son’s lives she starts to think maybe having a man around isn’t so bad after all, but his stay is temporary. Which means getting involved with him would only lead to a broken heart…
After learning that his uncle has lined up a place for him stay and hide-out for a while, Seth Landry can’t help but be a little excited about the escape it is bound to allow. Things in his life have been a little intense, and so having the opportunity to work with his hands, and deal with his demons on his own terms brings him a sense of peace that he has been craving. He’s there to help get Bobbie’s B&B ready to launch, but somewhere along the way he realizes that spending time with her and her young son has been good for his soul. But sticking around and getting involved with her could only bring them unnecessary danger…
Within the pages of this wonderfully crafted tale you will met two wounded souls in dire need of saving, one hell bent on staying single to keep her heart safe, and the other, a man riddled with guilt and determined to outrun his demons. But when they find one another they instantly discover a chemistry they have never known, a sense of peace they both have craved for so long, and of course a partnership they never knew they needed. It was so much fun to watch these two maneuver through life and find their little piece of happiness, it was an engaging and heartfelt story that left my heart overflowing. Once again I find myself dazzled and touched by Ms. Bliss’s words, and moved by her characters painful pasts and new beginnings, I highly recommend you make time to read this one, you will not be disappointed with what you find!
I requested an advanced cop of this title from NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
I was so glad to be back in Texas with this crew of miscreants…Okay, so they aren’t miscreants but the best kind of friends you can ask for!
Law of Attraction will have you considering posing on hay bales. (Are you sure? Really, it’s just me!?! I’m telling you – I’m not the only one considering posing for “Zeus”! ***Shakes head at nay sayers***)
Tall, dark, and deliciously tempting stalks towards you- quick, what do you do? I bet you don’t run in the other direction!
Bobbie Jo is trying to get her sh- I mean stuff together. Life just doesn’t seem to want her to. Enter a favor and a curse wrapped up in a tall, dark, and handsome bow.
Ripe with tension, untamed lust, and desire so strong the neighbor’s cows are horny, Law of Attraction is bound to keep you entertained. Even if you need a quickie…(reads 4 hours- at least tell me I wasn’t the only one impressed by that statement. ***snickers uncontrollably***)
The third Tangled in Texas book, Law of Attraction is a great read that grabbed my attention right from the start and held me captive throughout.
Bobbie and Seth are well developed and strong, captivating characters with lots of sizzling chemistry sparking between them and their romance is one that is ‘real’ with lots of tangled up emotions and trust issues that keep the relationship on a rocky slope. Sparks fly and lots of passion heat up the pages but at no point is their relationship a sure thing which keeps readers in suspense regarding their happily ever after until the very end, it certainly had me wondering if they would overcome the emotional strife and the secrets Seth is holding back. Seth’s interaction with Bobbie’s son adds sweet and heartwarming feelings to the story along and there is also some chuckles to be found in this story as well.
The plot flows smoothly with a steady to fast pace and of course lots of suspense and romance that kept me glued to the pages. The suspense regarding the romance is only part of the story as Bobbie has problems with another male from her past and Seth has an enemy that causes some excitement as well as does Bobbie’s overprotective friends with a few intense scenes.
I have read all three books in the Tangled is Texas series and I have to tell you that each and every one of them has been a joy to read. Each of them can be read as standalone stories but for me reading all the stories makes them even better because of all the personal connections between the characters. The stories are full of insight and everyday life occurrences and provides wonderful heartwarming happily ever afters and I can’t wait to read what Alison Bliss has in store for us next.
.This is a new author for me, premise of the book sounded really good which is why I requested it on NetGalley, but you can’t go on premise along to grab the readers attention and keep it throughout the story. I really liked the beginning of this book, Bobby Jo’s the single mom, Jeremy is the ass of a baby daddy who has no interest in being a father, and Seth, the handyman with a secret past. Anytime a character starts the story by saying they haven’t had sex in a number of years, you know you are probably heading down a slippery slope of no return. Problem with Bobby Jo is she flip flopped so may times you just lost interest in her character. Seth wasn’t much better, other than being hot eye candy, but there seemed to be a disconnect with these two and what they really wanted other than sex. Don’t even get me started on Jeremy, how do you become completely disinterested on wanting to be a dad to going to an attorney and fighting for custody, then when you get visitation rights, you continually bring the kid back before it’s time, or show up at his birthday party demanding it’s his weekend without prior notice? Rubbed me the wrong way in so many ways. I found myself jumping ahead just to try and get to a faster pace in the book, but it didn’t work. Just not the book for me unfortunately.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.
