A Knight in Cowboy Boots (McKnight, #1) By Suzie Quint

Fantastic read!

Witty, sexy and just an all round great read. I love it when a book can make me laugh and giggle and this book did it for me. It also has a great storyline, wonderful characters, whom I feel in love with. Loved it! Suzie Quint 1.5 love triangle with a ghost Stars



****** Major Spoilers*****

Let me just say that this book was just not for me! Sorry but I didn't like the heroine Maddie. But the biggest problem I had with this book. The thing that ruined it for me was that I felt like poor Zach was second place to Maddie's dead boyfriend Vince. OMG it bothered me so bad. I have friends that don't like reading books with dead exs at all, because they feel like the new love interest is second place always. Because if that person wasn't dead the new one wouldn't have a shot with them in the first place. I have never been like that. I don't mind books with dead exs as long as the the new love is just as special and loved. To me I love when a widow finds love again and life goes on. Just because I am okay with dead exs doesn't mean I want to read a book where I believe the hero or heroine loves that dead ex more. I don't like second place either.



This book was so bad about it that I really don't buy Maddie's love for Zach and I don't blame Zach for his doubt either. For one it put a knot in my stomach that she thought about Vince all the time. I do mean ALL THE TIME! He was dead but he was like a main character with a staring role. She really was having a love triangle with Zach and Vince's ghost and the ghost was winning for like 90% of the book. Hell she didn't even tell Zach she loved him until the last page and then she told him while still comparing him to Vince. She said

I loved him a lot. She kept her gaze firmly on the diamond. Almost as much as I love you.-Maddie



She talked about Vince all the time. Cried for him. Smelled his shirt. Thought about pretending Zach was Vince when she was going to sleep with him as a one night stand. And she only picked Zach as that one night stand because he sounded like Vince. Then when she does sleep with him for the first time she calls out Vince's name when they are having sex. He misunderstands her and thinks she said hints but she said Vince. Gross!



Of course he figures it out and it rips his heart out. She dreams about him and she tells Zach that she will always love him. I mean Damn poor Zach. Zach was sweet talkin' sexy as hell cowboy and I felt he deserved better. It just truly ruined it for me because there is nothing beautiful about never being good enough. I want a romance to make me swoon not make me wish the hero would break up the heroine and find someone better! Just sayin'.



http://jessicasoverthetopbookobsessio... Suzie Quint Okay -- I didn't finish this and don't think I will. It just didn't make sense. I do like a west TX accent on a hunky cowboy, but, this does not mean I condone bad grammer. That is just stupid and I do not tolerate stupidity.

Okay, now lets talk about Lubbock, TX. Any idea how far Lubbock, TX is from the coast of TX? To say you work offshore, but are based in Lubbock ... maybe, but think you could be a bit closer to the coast - or, hell of an expense for the company paying you to travel. Whole lot of TX boys who live closer...

Okay, now you meet someone, and and hour later you take the to your room to try to get lucky. Decide you will woo the lady by dancing to Josh Turner [yuck]. And, then she shoots you ... and your not mad but concerned for the honey because, you've been shot before! Ugh!!

Maybe other people can read this tripe, but I just couldn't get past the first 4 or 5 chapters. I didn't see how the author could pull this out, and frankly, life is too short and there are too many really good books out there to try to give this one more of my time....

Happy Reading! Suzie Quint 4.5 stars.

Loved it, loved it, loved it! Where the heck did Suzie Quint come from?? And can I please put her in my pocket so I can keep her with me always?? Okay maybe that's a little too weird but holy crap did I enjoy this book!

If there's one thing all my beloved GR friends may find interesting about me it's that over the past 18 months I've become somewhat of a starstruck country fan. Anything country related and I'm all over it. I think it started with Lorelei James' Rough Riders series that eventuated in me stalking the sports channels for PBR highlights, downloading country tunes and even attending my first ever rodeo. I've got fricken country stars in my eyes. Needless to say that any books with cowboys and/or country settings are gonna get my motor running. Well-written books with cowboys and/or country settings are even better. This was one of them.

As per the blurb, Maddie is on the run (with her sister's 6 month old baby) from her sister's ex-boyfriend who happens to be a psychotic murderer. Maddie meets Zach and they are drawn to each other in one of those amazing-fate-driven scenarios in which the reader knows what's really going on but the H/h don't know yet.

I almost died and went to country heaven in the first few chapters when Zach (Zachariah... swoon!), decides to take Maddie dancin' whilst listening to dreamy country singer Josh Turner (omggggg hyperventilating). When Maddie referred to them playing Josh's song Your Man, I was a gasping fangirl mess!

I loved Maddie. I loved Zach even more. I loved the McKnight clan and can't wait to read all of their delicious stories. There was a little bit of secrecy in this gem (which I usually can't stand) but there was good reason for it. It started off being a method for Maddie to protect herself and her nephew but that grew to also include protecting Zach because Maddie didn't want to endanger him. The truth came out at the right time though and I'm glad that Maddie swallowed her pride a little and allowed things to progress how they did.

Zach was an absolute dreamboat and if I wasn't married I'd be saving my pennies to fly across the Pacific to find myself an East Texas cowboy. Not even joking. Suzie Quint 4 1/2 stars

After reading the initial setup of A Knight In Cowboy Boots I was expecting yet another sex filled, superficial romp. Maddie is on the run from a killer, with her deceased sister’s baby in tow, and needs to burn off some steam. She meets Zach in a bar. He’s been out on an oil rig for months, has an enormous ding dong and he’s burning to put it to good use. Not that there’s anything at all wrong with that! But things don’t go exactly as they plan, a comedy of errors occurs, and that’s when I was hooked. What follows is a sexy and solid romance with great characterization, some emotional scenes that moved me and just enough action to keep things interesting while never forgetting this is a love story.

I’m not going to go into minute detail here because this is a shorter romance. Basically Maddie has landed in Texas with the baby, a new identity and is lonely and grieving when she comes across Zach, all tall, dark and hunky. They flirt but what she really wants is to hear his drawl which reminds her of her lost love. But then Zack boldly brushes his lips against hers and says:

“My daddy says sometimes it’s better to ask for forgiveness than for permission.”

She’s smitten and overwhelmed by him and honestly so was I. He was so damn charming and warm from beginning to end. He comes from a large close-knit family and though they aren’t all romance novel perfect (thank you author, for that), they behave like a real family and you can feel the love even when they’re cussing each other out. Their presence adds to the warmth and tension in the book and I came to care about quite a few of them, instead of being irritated by the intrusion of too many secondary characters (which is what usually happen because I’m impatient and bore easily).

The suspense plot does require a smidge of suspension of disbelieve and you’ll need to be able to forgive a bit of meddlesome snooping by Zach but I really enjoyed both of these characters and the way they interacted with each other. Their sexual connection was intense but there was so much more here. He has a terrific sense of humor and a terribly romantic side and she’s got so much baggage and is so desperate to do the right thing that you just want to hug her.

A Knight In Cowboy Boots is a sexy-sweet read with big hearted characters I cared about. It was definitely worth my time and is easy to recommend.

When Zach McKnight, an irresistible oil rig worker with a thick-as-honey Texan drawl, first pokes into the secrets surrounding the mysterious Maddie Wells, he has no idea that the chance encounter will change his life forever. Maddie Wells is on the run with Jesse, the infant son of her murdered sister. The boy’s father isn't far behind. He wants his son and is willing to kill to get him. Zach is intrigued from the first moment he sees the dark haired beauty in a hotel, but getting his hard working hands on her delectable body is more easily dreamt than achieved. He gets shot for his trouble, by Maddie no less, and sucked into the web of lies and fear that are her constant companions. A Knight in Cowboy Boots (McKnight, #1)

I couldn’t resist this book because, during college, I spent several summers in Texas. Those Texas boys are smokin’. I wasn’t disappointed by Zach. He delivers as a handsome, intelligent, heart of gold, southern man. Maddie is also instantly relatable as the heroine who is trying to protect her family.

What I didn’t expect from this book was the humor. Based on the blurb and the first chapter, it sounded like it would be a suspenseful, edge of your seat novel, but it was also character driven( I loved seeing Maddie open up to Zach and begin to trust him) and just plain funny—especially Zach. Suzie Quint has a knack for hysterical dialog. There was one point where my husband grabbed my kindle to see why I was laughing so hard.

Last, but not least, the loves scenes raised my temperature ten degrees, and there were a lot of them. If you’re thinking about buying this book, don’t hesitate. It’s a great read.

Everything is bigger in Texas, even the cockroaches.

Hooked from the first chapter, I could not put the book down. I kept wondering what Maddie was afraid of and why she and her nephew, Jesse, were on the run. I always love to get my hands on a book like this one that is full of mystery and suspense. There is nothing like sitting on the edge of your seat eager to find out what will be revealed on the next page. This book did a beautiful job in keeping the action going and the suspense high.

When Maddie meets Zachariah, Zach for short, at a hotel bar in Galveston, she agrees to follow him to his room where things get hot and heavy fast. It was sweet and funny watching the electricity spark between the two, then die quickly after she overhears a phone call and thinks he is married Later, she ends up accidently shooting him when his sister knocks on his hotel door.

Zach soon realizes that Maddie is scared of something or someone and I found that angle only added to the mystery and was very entertaining. More so when Zach has his sisters and brothers check into her past and then lets his imagination run wild when he learns she is not who she says she is. The more time he spends with her, the harder he falls but fears that she will run if he starts asking questions.

I think every girl needs a knight in cowboy boots like Zach, a man who knows how to treat a lady; one that has a mama who can put the fear of God in all her kids no matter how old they get. Definitely a delicious tale with heat, humor, and devilish excitement to keep you enthralled until the end. Ms. Quint's did a brilliant job in bringing the characters to life and keeping this reader’s attention all the way through the story.

Suzie Quint A Knight in Cowboy Boots is a beautiful mixture of adventure, romance, suspense, and humor. The characters jump off the page with a realism that sucks the reader in and carries you through to the end. Ms. Quint paints an accurate picture of life in Texas and the bullriding rodeo events. I loved the McKnight family and cannot wait to read more about them, particularly the stories of Sol, Jake, and Rachel. Well written and a fun read with something for everyone. Suzie Quint Full of romance, suspense, and an underlying mystery you cannot wait to figure out, a fantastic read by Suzie Quint.

Full review on Sensual Reads
http://sensualreads.com/?p=7678 Suzie Quint Where do I start? This book was kinda okay at the beginning. I mean, a man got shot and he just kinda shrugged it off (as he should). Every moment after was either boring or pure torture. There was no romance between the main couple, they just make-out and have sex 10 pages in for no reason other than his sexy Southern drawl. Also, the love interest is not only misogynistic throughout, but he is also a literal rapist. There was no plot, no stakes, just cringy sex scenes where this trash bin of human being fantasizes about impregnating the main character. Also, the main character doesn't even love him by the end more than her dead ex-boyfriend. Where was the flavor? Where was the chemistry? I could go on about how the writing was mediocre and how there obviously wasn't an editor (or at least a good one), but I'd feel like a bully. But honestly, I don't care because this book caused me an amount of pain that I will never forget. Suzie Quint
