Leather and Lace is my first Lili Valente book and I was pleasantly surprised by such entertaining and witty characters with a never-ending depth of emotion. Between the tragic past that haunts both Mia and Sawyer, they come together just for a bit of fun, only to realize that what they feel for one another goes beyond their physical attraction. This steamy story unfolds in a natural and easy-to-read way that made it extremely difficult to put down.

If you are looking for a fast, romantic, steamy, and enjoyable HEA, this book is for you! ( )

A great start to a new series by Jessie Evans. Set in a great small town with tons of fabulous characters, the story of Mia and Sawyer is a fun sexy read you don't want to miss. She is back in her hometown taking care of herself after a disastrous prior relationship. He is in town to bid on a job, that's it. No relationships for him!! But the attraction between them is undeniable. I highly recommend everyone read this one! ( )

Really liked the beginning and the ending, though the middle of the book seemed to drag a little for me. It was a little bit unfulfilling to tell the truth.

The characters were good and I liked how they interacted with each other. The plot was good, sweet if a little predictable. The series has potential. ( )

Much love for the land, haunted or not, but even more for the cowboy.

Evans' was able to intricate a detailed history tied to a wicked paranormal that puts emphasis on the wonderful romance at hand, as well as guide the many great characters through the obstacles of thrilling suspense, crime, and mystery that took place in the lone star state where sexy, manly cowboys once would've slept under the stars in the Old West.

In a modern day Texas, we find our friend, Amelia 'Mia' Sherman up to some mischief to spruce some life back into her historical small-town known as Lonesome Point. She is about to get caught when she literally bumps into a stranger, albeit a well built one at that. To keep from getting in trouble, she's gotta do what she's gotta do.... The next day that same stranger, known as Sawyer Kane, appears in Mia's shop. There is no way they can deny the magnetic pull they feel towards one another, so its up to them whether or not they do something about it, and if what they have between them will last only a moment or forever. Meanwhile, our two main characters are trying to being back the Old Town, but there are other things out there that are delaying things quite a bit, whether it be a ghost or a sociopath. There is only one way to find out.

I was so fascinated with this story, how the author was able to organize and put things together to come up with something so great is completely beyond me. I so excited when San Antonio and Austin were mentioned, because I live around the area. So I was already picturing where Lonesome Point would've been located. Reading the story was like watching something happening next door. Brownie points for the cowboys and country music! I grew up listening to George Strait and never failed to see someone dressed in wranglers and a Stetson on the daily. Oh and small town status too!

The authenticity of the book was so precise, hence me being able to relate to basically everything in this story.

So many times I busted out laughing and had fun just reading with ease.

My favorite character was Mia's grandmother, Emily. Or her nickname Sugar Britches. That one did it. Mostly everybody called her Gram though. This got me thinking about what would happen if I tried to call my Grandma Sugar Britches...I decided not to. I do not need a mark the shape of a chancla.

This the first book in the Lonesome Point, Texas series.

Overall, I had a blast with these characters, fell in love more than once, and cannot wait for the next book in the series. I would totally recommend this story to those who want to try something new or those who love a good romance story with humor, and a small-town history.
