I received a copy of in exchange for an honest review.I’m a sucker for a hot cowboy, and Destry Reeves was one. He takes care of the Ranch and his family. He’s not looking for love and definitely not with a city girl. He was sexy, smoldering, stubborn, protective, but really sweet once he lets his walls down. Did I love Destry oh yes I did!!"Sweet, baby Jesus. He was hot! Not just hot, but mess-your-panties devastatingly hot."Amelia Highsmith was a city girl unhappy in her always being told what to do mind-numbing life. Her fiancé is an ass, and finally having enough one day she gets in her car and leaves looking for a new life, anything must be better that the one she was living. I liked Amelia and her sassiness.“It was a series of acts, and certain calls, ones that were destroying who I really was who I wanted to be”A chance encounter with a cow leads her into the path of Destry. Amelia ends up temporary staying with him, his two equally sexy brothers, Braxton and Austin and their sister Ellie. Sparks fly, between Destry and Amelia. Amelia sees a very different life, and one that maybe she has been looking for. Destry seeing that maybe all city girls are not the same.“It was freeing, and I’d come to the quickly realize the life I had been living wasn’t what I wanted”.“This girl I'd pegged as a snotty city chick had surprised me at every turn, and with her lying in my arm, I realized I was in deep.... and I was perfectly all right with it."The storyline told from dual POV was, sexy, funny, romantic, and steamy. Love the chemistry between Destry and Amelia, hot and intense, and the interaction between the other secondary characters. The story is short, and although things move along quickly they don’t feel rushed. The only reason I would have liked it longer is because, selfishly I wanted more steamy scenes with Destry. ;)“I was so attracted to him that just sitting here was wreaking havoc on my libido”‘Destry set me alight in every way imaginable, and I didn’t want it to stop.’I loved the ending the epilogue was both surprising and funny. It left me with no doubt that I would be reading the next book in the 'Rough and Hard' series to get to know more about Braxton, and his secrets. But also maybe Austin’s too.Overall Destry was a fun easy feel good read, and I definitely I read most of it with a grin on my face If you have few hours to spare, love cowboys then ‘Destry’ is just what you need. I have read and enjoyed other books by Lola Stark and this one didn’t disappoint.
