A thief and a single father don’t bode well. She’s snarky, and sexy which can only lead to two broken hearts.
It was a day like any other on the ranch.
Hard work and no play makes for a cranky cowboy. Needing a night out on the town left me sneaking in my father’s house like a teenage boy. That was my first mistake of the day.
The second was playing hero to a damsel in distress that turned … hero to a damsel in distress that turned out to be no damsel at all but a sexy, snarky woman who took me by surprise.
How you ask?
I’d been a ladies man. That is until I became a father. My rebel days were gone. A six-year-old sassy daughter changed all of that for me. I didn’t need the complicated messy kind of love stuff. My hands were full.
A mission into town to handle a family issue would make my life more muddled. The day I met the woman who would steal my heart.
A thief. A woman on the run. A woman with one too many secrets. A woman whom I had to save because if I didn’t, I feared she disappear and take two hearts with her. I wasn’t prepared for the danger she was in and the decision I’d have to make. She’d hate me for sure.
I definitely wasn’t prepared for her to leave.

OMG!! WOW!! This is the story about Boone (Bear) that we have all been waiting for, ever since the end of Book 1 and it did not disappoint in any way! There is so much action and drama in this series that as a reader I could hardly flip the pages fast enough. I am sure I missed some finer points that I will need to know for the next book so I am going to go back and read it again, albeit much more slowly this time around. Bear and Nita were so perfect for each other and Missy remained just as adorable and wise beyond her young years, which just reinforced why I fell in love with her in book 1. Such a dynamic family saga!!
Thank you, Kelly, for such a fantastic series!!

When Bear catches Nita trying to steal a car he steps in but what happens after that is just too funny, crazy and romantic. Loved this exciting book about with the. Calhoun family and what a family they are. You will not be disappointed in this book.

What? How can this book and this way? My heart was so involved with this story. Best is just trying to survive the best he can while trying to raise his daughter. Nita is on the run and doesn’t trust anyone. Then bring in the trouble with the ranch and the man trying to steal it. Add in the problems with Clem and Boone. This book about tore me up, specially the end with sweet little Missy. I can not wait for book 3. Can’t to see what happens. I love how Kelly writes. Her books just suck you in and don’t let go! I love how she included all the family in this book as well! A fantastic book!

Wow this is amazing read that will have you falling for this hard core man. You will feel the emotions rolling off the pages as it started from the very first page tell the very ending. This is amazing read that grabbed my heart and keep it beating hard throughout this book as read in one sitting.
Absolutely phenomenal!! This is another fantastic addition to the Whiskey River Road series! From start to finish I was so hooked and loved every moment of it. The characters are likeable and irresistible, the plot flowed smoothly from page to page and the storyline is so wonderfully written. I simply adored Bear (Bradley) and Nita’s story, it’s filled with intrigue, romance, realistic characters, humor and family. A wonderful series and one I highly recommend!

An angry man set on stealing land seems to have few qualms about how many others get caught as collateral damage
Love alone is not enough to keep the family in his heart together
Without their mother on the land it just doesn’t seem as alive, and neither does her family
Trying to keep living and loving without her seems a big challenge for extended family and friends
The battles go on

WOW, what a page turner! I read this book in one sitting, that’s how good it was. This book centers around Bradley “Bear” Calhoun and Nita. The family thought their troubles were over with Tom Maynard on his death bed, but that’s not the case. Then Nita brings more trouble, but that doesn’t stop everyone from loving her and she loves them right back. I love how the family pulls together when needed, although they don’t get along at times. I won’t leave any spoilers, but I will say, I need book three NOW, lol. If you enjoy small town books full of heart, laughs, and families pulling together when needed, then you will love this series. I recommend reading book one, Clem and Boone’s story, if you haven’t. I can’t wait to read Ellie’s story next. Write faster, Kelly Moore, lol.
A very good story with wonderful characters, had to put down. I really loved this novel.
Well shoot, I did not see that coming. Kelly you keep me on the edge of my seat. I devoured this bad boy. My heart hurt for Bear but I hope he gets his HEA. I loved the different POVs. The Calhoun family keeps us reader’s on our toes. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Kelly this is my new favorite series by you.
Bear is either a knight in a beard and cowboy boots or a very manipulative kidnapper. Nita can’t decide which. When he catches her red-handed stealing a car, he takes it upon himself to ‘rescue’ her.
This is a sweet quick building romance between Bear and Nita and she just as quickly falls for Missy, Chet and the rest of the clan. But since they already have trouble beating at their door she did not want to drag her problems into the mix. But the Calhoun’s are a hard bunch to defy.
Trouble follows everywhere. Threats are tossed around and they once again circle the wagons for their new unofficial clan member. There’s an ‘about darn time’ moment that we have waited for since book one. Yes! Then danger peaks shortly thereafter making you want to grab a rifle with them.
Kelly keeps you on the move with this one. So many irons in the fire and giggle to be had but also some make you grab the tissues moments.
I can’t wait for book 3 and Ellie’s story. It will be interesting to see who, if anyone, can tie down this wild child. lol
Ok, I had to really think about what I want to say about this book. I am struggling because it really touched me. My emotions and heart were won over by Bear and his daughter Missy and then Nita. Then add in the importance of family and watching over each other in good and rough times. I could not put this book down. I read it straight through. I had to know what would happen. Their story kept me on edge the entire time. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Ms. Moore has such talent with giving you the most exquisite storylines with complex and endearing characters that draw you in and keep you thinking about them and their story long after you have read the last word. A must have for your library. I can not wait to get my hands on her next book! I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance reader copy of the book from the author and I bought it.
WOW! Author Kelly Moore has written another fantastic installment in the Whiskey River Road series! Stolen Hearts is the second book in the series and it centers around Bear (Bradley) Calhoun, and his single fatherhood with his 6 year old daughter, Missy.
This continuation of the Whiskey River Series by Kelly Moore is the perfect combination of mystery, heat, romance, family and rescue. The characters in this series are so wonderful and I love the way the author wrote this in multiple person POV, and even though Nita was the romantic interest of Bear and really inserted herself into the family, she is still very mysterious.
This book will tug at your heart and you will experience an emotional roller coaster! I had tears…ugh. Such a wonderfully written book!
**You need to read book 1, Coming Home, first! And this is the second book in an on-going series and leaves you hanging (as well as really wanting book 3 immediately)!
Loved this story. I love the setting for these stories. You get a little of everything in this series – humor, romance, mystery. The terminology cracks me up. All of the characters are funny. Missy is now my favorite. Look forward to reading Ellie’s story.

This is Bear’s story but you also get to see all the Calhoun family. More drama ensues when a land developer from California comes to town and causes problems for the ranch. The family has to stick together in order to protect the ranch and deal with all of the other outside issues going on. We also get more Boone and Clem in this book. I just love her witty one liners. And we can’t forget Ellie and her wild child ways! I just love this series and can’t wait to read more!

Have you ever read a book and thought to yourself-
I would fit in SO well with these people…
That is me with the Calhoun Family, while I am not all about the smell of manure and the early mornings, their brand of crazy, ample amount of available Wrangler eye-candy and barn rendezvous. I feel like I would be an excellent addition to their band of misfits looking to do the opposite of what their stubborn father wants!
Gah! The second book into the Whiskey River Road series and I swear I feel like its book 12!
I am bordering on obsession ( so its probably full-blown obsession, but let me have this ok, geeze people.) with the hilarious, stubborn, and prideful cast of characters, along with the ranch and surrounding areas.
The dark drama tinged web weaving its way throughout these stories is the flustered -n- frustrating icing on the Calhoun love cake!
Fast, furious, heat fueled with plenty of love to go around- these are books that keep me wanting more and will be read again and again!
I highly encourage checking this book out for yourself!
While I loved this story I didn’t like the ending, it left me wanting to know more. There is lots happening with the Calhoun family and this story is fast paced and filled with action, steam and intrigue. The characters are great and I can’t wait for the next book to see what happens.
ARC for honest review with no compensation received from StoryOrgin
Stolen Hearts is book 2 in the Whiskey River Road series by Kelly Moore and what a continuation to this series.
Bradley “Bear” Calhoun, single father of 6 yr old Missy, rancher, mechanic and just trying to be the best he can be for his daughter. When he sees Nita Hawkins something tells him she is trouble but he can’t resist trying to find out more about her… she has secrets she is not about to reveal to anyone. So can Bear convince her to stick around and explore the chemistry between them or will she up and disappears with his and Missy’s hearts? Totally didn’t see that ending happening…
What happens in this book will have you laughing, crying, mystery, rescue, sexual tensions and guessing at the secrets, turning pages to find out what happens next, and an underlying story that looks to play out over the other books in this series! Can’t wait for Ellie’s book!!
