Jessie Evans has written a surprisingly different kind of romance, but I loved every minute of it.  Leather and Lace was definitely unlike the other series written by Ms. Evans, but I must say was very entertaining and unquestionably, in my mind, a success.Mia Sherman is an outgoing, fun-loving young woman born and raised in the town of Lonesome Point, Texas and is a decedent of the family who founded the small town.  After escaping from a horrifying situation while attending graduate school in California, Mia runs back to her hometown to the comfort and safety of her family and the friends who have always loved her.  Weary on taking the chance of letting another man into her life, Mia makes the decision to keep her heart safe and protected guarding against the possibility of again letting anyone in who may ultimately end up hurting her.  But when a handsome and magnificently intriguing stranger rides into town on his Harley, Mia is hard-pressed to maintain her distance despite the fear that continues to arise within her.Sawyer Kane works at restoring old ghost towns bringing them back to their former glory to bolster tourism.  When he arrives in Lonesome Point to bid on the town’s current restoration project, he is surprisingly knocked off his feet by a beautiful redhead who immediately catches his attention.  Although he makes every attempt to get her to say yes to a date, Mia continuously belays his advances insisting on keeping their relationship on the level of friendship.  But when Sawyer discovers Mia is to be his guide through the history of the town and renovation venture, he is happily surprised knowing he will be able to spend more time with her and get to know Mia and simply have some fun together.  But when Mia’s threatening past comes back to haunt her, Sawyer comes to the realization that this spirited and beautiful woman has come to mean more to him than he ever anticipated was possible and will do anything within his power to protect her and keep her safe from harm.The spark and chemistry between Mia and Sawyer definitely ignited the pages on my kindle.  The fun and banter between not only the main characters but the supporting cast as well was amusing and enjoyable.  There were definitely some surprising elements which I have never encountered, but which gave this book a bit of a different twist.  Leather and Lace is a delightful and gratifying story of two people who have suffered from circumstances of their past, but whose hearts and souls ultimately join together helping each other to overcome those incidents to heal and find love.
