Not too long ago, Lawna Mackie asked me if I would like to review her story, My Gargoyle, and I did. I loved it, so I was eager to get my hands on more of her work. She sent me Stiletttos and Spurs. What a great title! And an appropriate cover.
MY REVIEW
The song Save a Horse Ride A Cowboy applies here. After you meet Cade, you will want to also. I recommend this to adults only because Cade and Sophia are one HOT couple.
Romance is not a genre that is a must read for me, but if you are a romance lover, you will want to meet with Cade and Sophia. It is a visit I am sure you will enjoy.
He was, literally, at her feet when they met up again. I couldn’t help but smile at the scene. In Cade’s eyes, she had turned from the Ugly Duckling into the beautiful swan.
After her mom’s death, Sophia is going home. She was drowning in grief. She had grown up as friends with Cade, though she had always had a crush on him. So, when she had a chance to stay with him…and jump his bones…she did.
Sizzling HOT HOT HOT, so adults only please.
I love the romance and it may seem like instalove, but you have to remember that she had loved him her whole life. He just needed to see the woman she had become. I LOVED it. Just because a story is predictable that doesn’t mean it can’t be fantastic.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Stilettos and Spurs by Lawna Mackie.

GOODREADS BLURB
Champion Steer Wrestler, Cade Galloway has no time for women, and certainly no time for babysitting the ugly duckling he remembers from his youth. His mother assures him the young lady has grown up since he last saw her, but he doesn’t hear. He needs to put all his energy into winning the competition at the Calgary Stampede.
Sophia Randall, strikingly gorgeous in a small black dress and stilettos departs the plane from Paris looking for her childhood crush. The cowboy who used to babysit her is to again watch out for her during this visit. She hopes the short vacation will ease the pain of losing her mother. Confident and independent, she has only one weakness. Cade. Knowing this might be her only chance with him, she throws caution to the wind.
The explosive brilliance of the nightly fireworks can’t compare to the sexual sparks between them. But life calls, leaving each on a different continent. Are the hot sexy nights and days spent together enough to melt the rugged cowboy’s heart or has Sophia just added more pain to injury?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Lawna would tell you that a lot of her creativity comes from her mother, who could design and build, just about anything. Her mother never lacked the talent for hand-making toys. “She always amazed me. My brother and I were never bored because she made us flutes, toy cars, and even parallel bars in the trees,” she explains.
Her other creative inspiration comes from her husband Jeff, and the many adventures they have had. It was on one particular trip to British Columbia, when she stopped at the Enchanted Forrest that the fairy tale world called to her to write a story.
Along with the love she has for her husband and family, is the deep admiration and compassion she has for animals. “They bring so much joy and inspiration to my life I don’t know how I would ever live without them,” she says. Alaskan Malamutes are near and dear to her heart. With one Malamute, one Bichon Shih Tzu, one farm cat and a Bengal, her house is never quiet.
Lawna writes contemporary romance and paranormals. One fan writes, “Lawna’s books are well-written and are impossibly good! The scenes are unexpected and very creative. I highly recommend her books!”

I had to take a look, because the title made me giggle. I love when the hero and heroine have some sort of history, even if it’s not a romantic history. Glad to hear you enjoyed this one.
Glad I caught your attention. 🙂 This book was a wonderful surprise to me. I loved it.
I do like a good cowboy book every once in a while. This one sounds great!
I really enjoyed it and I think you would too.
Wow. I know this isn’t your go to genre and Lawna has you loving it. I’m more curious now! About both books:)
Yeah, I know. Blogging has helped me to broaden my horiszons and I am so glad. I would have missed out on books like this.
