Wild at heart. One hot cowboy. A heap of trouble.
What stopped me from saying the three words Ian wanted to hear? My stubbornness that protected my heart, that’s what.
A handsome cowboy with a hot body and a sense of humor to boot, Ian Daughtry was everything a woman could ask for. He was downright pretty to look at. The day he left my world spun out of control. It changed me inside. I was no … control. It changed me inside. I was no longer the sweet, innocent girl. Instead, I became the wild child desperate to feel anything but love.
Now he’s back, slipped into town unbeknownst to me. My family knew but didn’t want to tell me, afraid it would rip me apart.
I have a news flash for him. I don’t care how hot he is, he ain’t gettin’ me back. This woman has done fine on her own. But boy howdy… just seeing him he sent me in a tailspin. One that might get me in a heap of trouble.

I have loved each book in the Whiskey River Road series from Kelly Moore. Each book has danger, intrigue, humor, a strong knit family willing to do anything to safe and protect each other, angst, passion and love and this new book is no different. Years ago Ian and Ellie were in love but due to Clem’s decisions and the pain she caused Boone, Ellie wasn’t able to vocalize her love for Ian. Ian left to give Ellie some time. Now back in their hometown on business, Ian and Ellie rekindle their past relationship yet there is danger lurking for the Calhoun family. A captivating must read with danger and suspense that will have readers on the edge of their seats and a family secret no one will see coming. Ian is an overprotective alpha male while Ellie is a reckless yet courageous woman willing to do anything and everything for her family. The end of the book was equal parts heartbreaking yet bittersweet. I can’t wait for the release of Wyatt’s story.

Ellie has been lost since Ian left. She doesn’t think so but it’s obvious that her heart belongs to the one who got away. While he was gone Ellie never let anyone get close to her heart. Now that the Calhouns have been threatened she’s playing with fire. Ellie’s determined to find out the truth even if it’s the last thing she’ll ever do. She’s a handful, can’t be controlled but you can’t stop yourself from liking her all the same. Ellie will go to hell and back for you when you’re in her heart even if she has trouble saying the L word.
Ian never thought he’d be back but now he is. The moment he sees Ellie he knows that they’re meant to be together. He expects her to finally let him in completely and tell him what he needed to hear all those years ago. They’re bond is complicated but they can’t deny the sizzling attraction that keeps them pulling towards each other.
I was looking forward to read Ellie’s story because I couldn’t wait to find out what made her the way she is. On the surface she just looks like a lot of trouble but under the mask she keeps showing is a wonderful, warm and loving woman. If I’d be in deep trouble I’d love someone like Ellie in my corner. Ellie and Ian are soulmates and I couldn’t read fast enough to find out if they would find each other again.
Three Words is the third book in the Whiskey River Road series and my oh my this series just keep on getting better and better. It’s another binge worthy series written by Kelly Moore. She’s one of my all time favorite authors and she deserves all the praise that she’s getting for the amazing stories she writes. If I’m looking for a sure to love read which will keep me up much longer than usual, Kelly Moore is my to go to author. I love her stories and how she manages to get me every single time.
There was never any doubt about the depth of the feelings that Ellie and Ian had for each other and everyone in their lives knew it as well. The only thing standing in their way was that due to Ellie’s past she didn’t believe in love while Ian needed her to acknowledge it and when she couldn’t it resulted in two broken hearts.
Ian is now back in town and Ellie is feeling betrayed as not only did her family not tell her, but he is working for the man she hates the most. If that isn’t bad enough, he has both her heart and head in turmoil. As the danger escalates around them so does the heat between them but will this be their second chance or are they destined to end in heartbreak once again?
The characters are compelling, whether they are at love or war, the storyline has surprises you don’t see coming and leaves you wanting the next book in the series to see what the future holds for this family.
Ellie has been a girl gone wild since Ian walked away from her. But now he is back and the two still have feelings for each other. Will Ellie be able to finally say those three little words to him that he has waited to hear? Or will she still be holding back and keeping the walls up around her heart? Not only do you get a swoon-worthy romance between Ellie and Ian but you also get the edge of your seat Whiskey River Ranch angst. Some questions will be answered and new characters will be added but the reader will come away wanting more. I cannot wait for more in this series.
This is book three in the Whiskey River Road series. A second chance story for Ellie and Ian but do we get a HEA? Ellie and Ian were perfect together once upon a time ago. Ian left town and took Ellie’s heart with him as he left his own behind. Three words have so much power and can change so much. With Ian back in town, when they cross paths, it is easy to see the chemistry and love is still there and is as strong as ever. These characters are all grown up and have some old wounds that still have not healed no matter how wild and crazily they tried. What a great story for this series. I love it when a second chance with a few bumps and discussions becomes a HEA. I loved the continuing under tone of The Calhoun family and the updates of the past couples from previous books. I look forward to more in this series as new characters are brought into the fold. Enjoy!

Three Words (Whiskey River Road, #3) was another great read by Kelly Moore.Ellie has always been stubborn almost to a fault. She doesn’t know what stopped her from saying the only three words that Ian wanted to hear. Ian left before when Ellie couldn’t tell him those three words and it spun her life out of control. Ian comes back into town and everyone but Ellie knew. They fight their chemistry but it isn’t a fight they can wain for long. I really enjoyed Ellie and Ian’s story and I can’t wait to read more by Kelly Moore.
Plenty of angst filled the pages of this book. The characters ate well written, relatable and believable. The story has so much emotion thst it draws you into the drama and makes you feel you’re part of the story. Great writing

The family keeps growing. New members come and others come back. Ellie’s love appears in town. Can she resist him, can she give him what he needs?
I love all the changes in the family, even of a lot is still the same.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
(Warning: part of a series)
I cannot get enough of this author and this series!
Intensely sensuous, wrought with emotion, and so well written that I absolutely could not put it down!
Each book has been cohesive and enlightening to the overall relationship between these characters.

Book three in the Whiskey River Road series is worth so much more than just a five-star rating!! Ellie and Ian set the pages on fire with their second chance romance! We get to catch up with the other couples from Books One and Two (Clem and Boone and Bear and Nita) as well as find out about new members of the family! It appears that good-old Daddy Calhoun was not as perfect after all as he wants his kids to believe he was!! But this is not just a love story. There is a real danger lurking for the Calhoun Ranch and all of the members of the family!! Even though this book does end on a cliff hanger as far as discovering the true source of the danger to the ranch, Ellie and Ian are able to get the elusive HEA that they should have had with each other from before fear and pride got in their way!! I can hardly wait for the next book to come out! Will it be about Wyatt or how about the newly discovered twins or could Ethan stop pining for Ellie and find his own HEA? Whose story will it be and how much more will be revealed regarding the conflict and danger surrounding the ranch?! Oh, the possibilities!!

Three Words is book 3 in Whiskey River Road series by Kelly Moore and oh what an amazing series and can’t wait for more stories!!
We have read about Ellie Calhoun in the prior books who after Ian Daughtry left her, her world began spinning out of control, changing her and burying anything to do with love…except for her family. Now Ian is back and is determined to get her to say the three words he longs to hear…
What happens next will keep you turning pages to find out where it all leads…pushing limits, highs, lows, smokin’ hot chemistry and so much more…

Three words – don’t miss this! Man, can this girl write. This author is in my top 5 list and she can write books that keep you up til the wee hours. Just when we thought, The Calhoun family were all going to have their HEA someone shows up, trying to take over their land. Watkins is now trying every trick to get their land and who knew Ellie was working for him (under cover who knows). She was still hurting Ian blindside. This pair is so attracted they light fires everywhere they go. I luv Ellie’s stubbornness for the most part but she sure has a mind of her own. A few unforeseen twists kept me captivated including one whopper of a secret you won’t see coming. I can’t wait for the next, and as a matter of fact, I’ll probably re-read the whole series so far.

This is about Ellie and Ian and her crazy family the Calhouns. I was drawn into this book from page one and you get a good look at her family has they first among themselves and with some scheming person wanting to get their property. Ellie and Ian had a previous hot relationship where he wanted more from her and she could not give it to him which resulted in breaking his and her hearts.
Just when you think the Calhoun family will have peace, the hits keep coming. This one is focused on Ellie, the town’s good time girl who sees the one man who has ever held her heart, Ian. He’s back in town working for the enemy and the two still have their sparks, now Ellie just needs to be able to voice what she feels for Ian, or he may walk out once again.
The story has steam, some suspense, surprises, twists and turns and all the Calhoun siblings, their significant others and the dad. If you haven’t read the prior books, it’s highly recommended as almost all the characters of the Calhoun clan, get their POV written at least once, which may leave you lost if you don’t know their story.
The read is fast paced with great banter and snark that will leave you laughing and some tender moments. Just when you think all is well, there’s a twist with a cliffhanger, which I am not a fan of as I like my HEA’s for a couples to be a one and done, and hopefully the next read will bring HEA’s for the last brother and everyone else.
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*
Oh my gosh! Those are MY three words for Ellie and Ian’s story. This is what happens when Kelly Moore puts proverbial pen to paper! You get an emotional rollercoaster you just want to keep on riding.
I have to admit, Ellie was not my favorite person at first. She feels it…why can’t she just say it? And was Ian’s reaction the right one? These are just a couple things I struggled with throughout the book.
But everyone in the Calhoun family gets a voice in every book in this series. So, we get to hear from everyone! It’s wonderful!
And the ending will just blow you away!!
5 stars!
This was a fantastic book about a hurt that won’t let love get close. It was a book well written with fantastic characters. I loved how it played out and I would recommend it to all!!

” He hurt my heart, but he’s the only man who knows how to give me what I need.
What I love the most about this series is that even thou each book is about a specific Calhoun sibling, there is always a story including everyone and different POV.
Ellie is a wild untamed horse ! She takes and doesn’t care about her sexcapade no strings attached relationships. She won’t open her heart to anyone and we finally get to find out why. Ian is back and he won’t stop until he gets what he wants.
Love the sassy mouthy Calhoun sisters !
Once again drama follows the clan and it only brings this family closer….well almost.
And of course Kelly Moore throws a couple of surprises and a nice curve ball ! Definitely needs to be on anyone TBR list ! It’s funny , steamy, filled with secrets , family drama and a page turner !
Can’t wait to see where the next book will take us !
ONE EYE OPENING ADVENTURE!!!
Cowboy up! Kelly brought out every contention, vexation and stubborn tendency with this skillfully composed delight, riding one riveting storyline and captivating plot, ratcheting up the intensity wrapping this gem up sleek, shiny and tight. Braided, bound and tightly woven, displaying the explosive ups and agonizing downs, grounding in it’s simplicity and awe-inspiring in it’s depth. Obliterating the boundaries and pushing the limits, displaying the illusions and testing realities, getting this gem weighed and balanced, booting this jewel into the eye of the storm, slamming it into overdrive, launching it into a hissy with a mind-blowing culmination. Shenanigans, escapades and havoc run amuck, rousting the drama, anxiety, intrigue, turmoil, underlying threats, secrets, mounting suspense and intense situations along with a double dose of quick wit, you have one jaw dropping experience. The attraction and chemistry sizzles, drawing you deeper until you feel the electrifying hum running rampant through your veins. The characters are complex and genuine with traits and qualities that add depth and realism that blend and flow, transforming into amazing personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and descriptions that feel as though you were transported to ground zero with them. Fantastic job Kelly, thanks for sharing this lil’ fella with us.
I have no words. Not three, not two, not even one. I have none left at this point. I thought I knew what I wanted to say about this book until I got to that ending, and then everything was wiped from my brain. This book was filled with drama and angst and suspense and tension. As well as a lot of spite and snark. I love seeing the way this family pulls together, but at the same time, they’re really good at stressing each other out. I was confused by the fact that there were several places that I thought would have made logical end points to this book, but the story kept going past all of them to give us a cliff-hanger instead. I was going to read the next book anyway. I didn’t need the cliff-hanger to make me want to keep reading the series. I’ve kinda gone and fallen in love with these characters and I want to know even more about them.
