I really enjoyed reading this book. This is the second installment in K.C. Klein's Texas Fever series. In Hustlin' Texas we get to enjoy the twisted tale of Nikki Logan, the town bad girl and Jett Avery, the town golden boy. Now, I did not read the first book which may have given more filler information or background into Nikki and Jett's relationship, but I don't think the story suffered at all for it.Nikki makes for a good heroine. She is rough around the edges, unlike the polished Jett, but she is loyal and she was strong and definitely did not see her worth. She allowed herself to believe the bad stuff people spewed about her. In doing so, she does not allow herself to love Jett as she feels she will ruin him.Jett on the other hand can't steer away from Nikki. If she is in trouble he is there but he also has his own family issues. Interestingly, I didn't catch what his job was, he just seemed to be rich and I'm not sure if that was due to his dad's political career or not.This book made me laugh, it had me cry, and it had the right amount of angst to keep me turning those pages. I am interested to go back and read the first book to get more of Cole's story, Nikki's brother. And as a side note, my kids and I love visiting Texas, so getting the splash of Texas throughout the story was great.Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
